cheap keyboard for campingtrip

Postby captain-twang » 06 Apr 2017, 11:34

hi, i will go on a very long surf and campingtrip. my question: i own a yamaha 253 keyboard, nondynamic keys, which i plan to taalong. is that a good idea or will i spoil my very little technique? a bigger keyboard would be very hard to manage in the little campingtrailer. and that yamaha costed me only 50€, so i would not cry too loud if it breaks. what do you think? thanks, eddie

If you have very little technique, I imagine it won't take you long to get it back if it is affected by playing this axe for a long time.

Another thought ... If your trip is very long, as you say, I imagine you may need to pack extra batteries.

Have fun!
Thanks,
Tom

I wouldn't worry about "spoiling technique". Look at it as learning a different instrument.
IMHO (disclaimer - no one would mistake me for a virtuoso), the more different keyboard actions I play on, the better.
For example, your Yamahaha with a piano sound will be fairly unforgiving to accidentally touched keys, so it forces you to play cleanly. On a real piano, those wouldn't sound.
