Many people have positive opinions of Yamaha instruments and, in the case of organs, these also highlight their qualities. With this model, in particular, the brand has decided to promote the fact that the keyboard will help you explore your musical side, and this is for a reason.
The sound stands out for its versatility, since the instrument brings various musical effects that, together with the Master equalizer, will allow the sounds to complement and vary, giving the final result a unique touch. This will give you the freedom to experiment with all of them. This model has 400 instrument voices and comes with a set list of 112 songs for learning and practicing. In addition to all this, the instrument also comes with 130 backing tunes to enhance your musical experience.
The top has two great-sounding speakers for crisp, clear audio. However, this product comes with a headphone jack in case you want to enjoy personal sound. A small wheel at the top is responsible for regulating the volume, regardless of the audio output you are using.
For starters
Although anyone interested in playing the instrument can benefit from it, even professional players, this specific model can be considered one of the best organs for beginners, regardless of age. The reason why it is considered ideal for people with little knowledge of the instrument is not because it is of low quality, but because it is a purchase that includes several qualities to help in musical learning.
The “Yamaha Educational Suite” is the brand’s 9-step learning system. Yamaha also offers the opportunity to download a song book, with its sheet music, in order to learn to play them. The instrument comes with music lessons for practice, and the recording function will be able to record your performance of any of the keyboard’s built-in songs so that when you’re done, you can listen to your performance and analyze what needs to be improved.
However, you will not have to limit yourself to the songs included in the organ’s repertoire, since using an auxiliary cable you will be able to connect your mobile phone or any portable music player. By doing this, you will be able to accompany your interpretation to your favorite songs, improving your skills. On top of that, Duet mode will allow two people to play together, ideal for a teacher to teach hands-on.
