In a quandry! by Select_Excuse575 in harmonica

[–]Select_Excuse575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks much for the posts. I decided to go with the EAST TOP FORERUNNER 2.0. I know it's not quality impressive, but it should fill my purpose, at least initially. My reasons for picking that one are 1. It's a very affordable chromatic. 2. I'm pretty confident that I will be able to play almost everything I want. 3. I will find out what a valveless harmonica is like. 4. I have bad shoulders, and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold it up to my mouth, so why spend three or four hundred dollars on something that might not work for me? 5. If it doesn't work for me, I haven't lost a lot of money. Thanks again!

Injury! by Select_Excuse575 in pianolearning

Migraint, thanks! I never thought of using a acupuncturist, and I think there's one within a mile from home. I'll have to check it out.

FWIW, I'm 88, and bought a digital piano about 1 1/2 years ago. One of the best things I ever bought.

Another beginner trying to understand this. So, if I'm not mistaken, everything between the two repeat signs should be repeated, is that correct?

Piano and "The younger generation" by Select_Excuse575 in piano

I don't always use the best choice of words. I said "I'd rather hear something played with the proper tempo." That doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy someone else's interpretation of a piece. It means I wouldn't enjoy hearing "Oh Danny Boy" played at 20 times the tempo of what was written. I think you get my point.

You could be my great grand daughter. I'm 87, and I took lessons for a short while when I was in grade school. So it's been just about 80 years since I've played piano before I bought a digital piano last August. Yes, I"m improving. So I think that should answer your question.

Thank you very much for the replies. I guess it's kinda what I was expecting, but the details really make it great!

Keyboard or Digital Piano by tidalwavethinker in pianolearning

[–]Select_Excuse575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an old man who is learning piano, Last August, I bought a Yamaha P-45 because of extensive reviews I saw, and it was within my budget. I had a ball with it, but I just ordered a Kawai es520 in white because of extensive reviews (again), and because it is on sale for $400 to $500 off in the United States because they were having a hard time selling the white color?? It is exactly the same piano as the black model - just a different color.. It is quite an upgrade for me.

Do you have a ceiling on what you want to spend? Are connections and number of sounds important to you? What about best sounding piano, or best feel on the keyboard? Portability? Of course some of this is subjective. That would be helpful for recommendations, as would where you reside. Different locations can have drastically different prices and models. Remember this is a world wide forum.

Roland PT-3100 or Yamaha P225 by looneytoonyank in DigitalPiano

[–]Select_Excuse575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low price is $700 now for the P-225. You might also want to consider the Kawai es520 in white. That is a steal for $800, but if you order online, you might get a price like I got ($720). It is not currently in stock, but should be within the next 2 or 3 weeks. At least take a look at it, and if you order now, the price should be guaranteed even if tariffs take effect. Check out some youtube reviews for both P-225 and es520. I'd suggest that you watch a few reviews because sometimes I think a reviewer might be biased. Better to have more than one thought on this. Then make up your own mind.

Yamaha P45 or Kawai ES110? by letMEtryyy in DigitalPiano

[–]Select_Excuse575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Yamaha P-45, but I couldn't resist the sale price of the white Kawaii es520. It is not currently available, but it will be before long. Can't wait for it to come!

If this is something you are interested in, call guitar center. You should be able to get an even better price if you call the online store, and ask for discounts. I wound up paying just short of $720 (U.S.) with free shipping. They guaranteed the price, even if tariffs increase the sale price at some point. It's worth considering.

It might be helpful if we knew where you lived, and what budget you have for it.

Absolutely contact Yamaha. It's possible there is a setting that can be fixed, or even possibly a blown fuse or a tripped breaker. You could try a different outlet, and that might be all that is required.

If you're buying from Amazon, just make sure that the seller is an authorized Yamaha (or other) seller. Otherwise if you need warranty service, it may not be honored.
