dupinguez · Post by **dupinguez** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:26 pm

I have two yamaha keyboards : a DGX-300 very good sound but few
possibilities
a PSR-225 my first one so full of great memories

And I have the chance to have (or at least that my mother have

)
a real piano : Euterpe half-queued : simply beautiful

And you?????

I have a Yamaha PSR something or other (cant remember the exact code) I got it second hand for about 150 pounds so its not too bad, nothing wrong with it either! Admittedly i suck donkey balls but mleh, I know a few chords and scales so I can at least write some stuff

CASIO CTK-691. Not a big time but sounds cool enough for my modest demands. Plus Hohner recorder, a no-name classic guitar and a Sennheiser E835 mike. Plus my ability to turn nothing into something at least unusual

Midiman Radium, MIDI controller, of course I have tons of effects on my computer rather than a rack of modules

I use a Roland XV-3080 module, controlled with an old Yamaha DSR2000
and I also have a Yamaha S90 syntheseizer......really nice one.

The piano is at my parents' house, it's a Steinway upright... I miss that piano!
And my keyboard is a Yamaha PSR-290...

You know what I REALLY want? A keytar! So badly! Plus it's hard to move about onstage when you're stuck to this keyboard. It would be fun to loosen up and move around with the guitar players! (If any of you have a keytar for sale...)

Yea, it's awesome! Too bad I can't steal it and put it in my apartment, hehe... Well I can hardly fit my keyboard up and down the stairway, nevermind a piano!

But yea, I miss that piano. I always play it as much as I can when I go to my parents' house; I don't want to lose strength in my fingers since I don't have a weighted keyboard here....

It would be fun to have a piano onstage w/ my metal band, but ... that would be too much! Besides, we use all these different sounds. But there are some songs with a piano sound that would sound awesome if we were to mic it.
Well, there ain't enough time to get THAT organized before tomorrow night's show, heh...

HEy guys is there any reason why some keyboard players have their keyabords rotated perpendicualar to the floor and some have them flat?

What does that word mean? You mean like Jens has his keys so that the crowd can see it? It's called show-off!

I like the piano sound even in very heavy songs sometimes it can put a
very dark touch on it, or it can sometimes be very quiet and beautiful,
exactly what metal can be : very versatile (is this an english word???).
Have you seen the X-Japan show in tokyo?? They play in a big stadium
and the keyboard player plays with a very beautiful kawai made of glass
or whatever : incredible!!! But VERYYYYYYYYY expensive.

And i also think vertical keyboard is to show to the crowd what you play
----> very fast and hard solos tempo 720!!!

Just for fun, I have my girlfriend's old one, a Yamaha don't remember the number that goes after, so I can continue playing music in my appartment cause I don't think the neighbours would be happy with the drumset

PinkedOne · Post by **PinkedOne** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 2:43 am

i personally tilt my stand cause my hands are not so Stressed playing fast apreggios and stuff like that for a long time in a song and also cause its kinda cool! =)

dupinguez · Post by **dupinguez** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 4:09 pm

Sometimes my mother totally hallucinate when she hears me playing some Stratovarius or Nightwish songs with my real piano she says "WTF are you doing??? Play your Bach Prelude n°9 instead of gna gna gna"(she says not exactly wtf...).
And sometimes I dream to be able to put distortion to the piano and play War For Territory as an answer, would be very funny.

Well as TwilightSymphony said, it's just personal taste. Like, what you're more comfortable with.

It's difficult to play fast things standing up when you have a flat keyboard; it's just an awkward position because your wrists are bent in this weird way. I have to get a tilted keyboard stand sometime, because i'm playing more and more gigs with my band and it's getting very uncomfortable! So for the moment I have to have my (flat) stand up really high so my wrists don't have to bend so much.

But then there are probably lots of people who don't mind or prefer playing n a flat stand. It's just personal taste, again!
I like playing flat when i'm sitting (its like being at a piano), but standing up and playing flat kind of bugs me.

Ole · Post by **Ole** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 4:18 pm

Where do you get those tilted stands? Searching the internett did'nt help....

Llageran · Post by **Llageran** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 4:22 am

The stand that that Jens uses looks like this.

He puts the keyboard backwards on the upper "shelf" which is tiltable.
I had been thinking of where to get one of those tiltable stands until one day when I looked at a picture of Jens when I realized that I already had one of those.

iron_thunder · Post by **iron_thunder** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 12:18 pm

Then there are those REALLY tilted ones. Tuomas' Korg (the red one, I think it's a Karma, yea? Can't remember the model) is on a REALLY low stand. I mean.... fucking LOW, at least in recent shows. It was about knee-level. Jesus.
