Yamaha's Astonishing $50.00 Keyboard (PSS-F30)

Your explanation of how styles and transposition works on this instrument is so... I dunno, like a classical pianist from fifty years ago hopped into a time machine and learned about these functions by trial and error

Hello. What keyboard would you think is better for a beginner PSS-F30 or PSS-A50? Thank you.

I love it to bits😍😍😍

if it had transpose function perhaps you could join two of these keyboards and play them as a unique instrument

Where can i buy this

$500 software can't even switch sounds with the note playing

This one has an octave selection option, which I love, and I have a feeling it will be mine.

I've been thinking of getting one of these, and this review made my mind up for me. I'm no kid or teenager either ;). I just wish you had added 10-20 seconds to the video and let us hear the built-in speaker, but no biggy. Thanks for this.

Sell it too me please?

Amazing demo! Thanks

Wonderful review that also serves as a tutorial. I am curious if the intended music education is to actually start a child off with a melodica. This keyboard has basically the same keys as a 36 key melodica. This instrument is the next step of developing using the right hand, while the left hand's tasks are simplified? Meanwhile the beginner gets to actually play and even improvise some music. Once interest and some ability is established, the next step is to buy a 61+ key instrument to finish developing the left hand?

MIDI?

It's ok but I hate the built in reverb that cannot be turned off.

I use this on airplanes with my headphones in

With no velocity sensitivity, a harpsichord sound is very... pertinent. Piano not so much

It sounds great for a keyboard of that price and quality.

I love your videos! I just realized I never subscribed, so I just liked and subscribed!

This keyboard is fun for players also. Check out "The Rest is Music Noise" channel. Search for Yamaha pss f30

Is it midi?

awesome! Bach to basics!!!

This review is excellent and I love watching you play. It’s easier to focus on your fingering on a smaller keyboard. I’ll have to checkout your other reviews.

is there a headphone jack? I'd rather not bother my neighbors...

Here’s a question. What would you think about having this on top of another unit as a go to for left hand only basslines? Running right to a small bass amp? Seems like it might work ok for that…

I did NOT expect Megalovania lmao

So… can you go cheaper? 😂

A nice, warm, 'heyyyyyyyyyyy' with a double thumbs up, would really help this video ❤️

I have the original model from this line. I'm not sure what the manuf. year is, but I know it is from the 80s. Ive had it since the early 90s. Its model name is PSS-270 (or 220, I cant remember without looking, but I am pretty sure it is the former...). The interface looks just about the same, minus the color scheme.

I wish I could play the piano

Are you the guy that recorded all the different cell phone rings?

The sounds are actually not that bad. Has a bit of a MIDI synth vibe with some of it.
Less use as a digital piano and more as a synth.

It's only that your playing makes it sound good,
If it were me, it would sound like a 50$ toy.

This guys hands...wtf

Thank u for the reviw

You are an amazing keyboardist!

sounds very good love the jacket

When you switch to the bass sounds, its sounds a lot like early doom 95 music lol

You mentioned roll-up "pianos" (offhandedly) but add my name to the group that is curious about these! NO, I have no expectations for an even tolerable-sounding example of these as a standalone instrument, but - like Grant L. Jackson below - I'm interested in these as a possible MIDI controller. Something I could easily carry to a party, for jamming with other musician friends, along with my MIDI interface and MIDI apps on the iPhone, and a small amp. Or somebody else's amp, even.

Almost anything sounds good if the person knows how to play.

So it's +time to upgrade my 1985 SK-1.

Hey, I thought I’d be a toy but for 50$ it’s a pretty good deal! Where did you get this little keyboard for that price???😉😻

It cost how much, again?

Cool

the organs of this piano sounds identical to my old PC playing Sim City music, hah.

Good lord this has more features then some of the very expensive keyboards I've had over the years did.

people are funny if you can play decent music they will listen

the more i listen to this the more i think this is a perfect for a busker that has a loop station and a guitar
