The Latest Piano And Keyboard News From Keysound

Yet another free pack of new styles is available at korgpa.com. Simply visit the website and download the new pack. You can use it on the PA600, PA900, and the PA3x and yes, it is absolutely free!

Keysound are giving away a free white Apple iPad Mini with every Roland HP-507 digital piano purchased until December 31st 2013. All claims must be received by Friday 10th January 2014.

If you want to learn the piano, the HP-507 digital piano is the perfect choice as it not only sounds like an acoustic piano, it also has an authentic piano keyboard action just like an acoustic grand piano. But because the HP-507 is a digital piano, it can do things that an acoustic piano cannot. Plug in headphones so you can practise without disturbing your family or neighbours or plug in a USB drive to play along with your favourite tunes, which makes practising fun. The HP-507 also allows you to split the keyboard so the student and teacher can play side by side.

Better still, the Piano Partner iPad app transforms an iPad into a version of Roland’s popular DigiScore application, which displays sheet music on the screen and follows you as you play the notes. The Piano Partner app also includes exercises which develop your ability to recognise musical notes, essential when it comes to reading and playing back sheet music. The Piano Partner app is a free download, and if you buy an HP-507 while stocks last, we’ll throw in the iPad on which it runs. If you’ve always wanted to play the piano, choose the HP-507: you’ll have the realistic sound, the authentic piano action, the stylish design and a teaching system to help you become a better piano player.

Piano Partner is a free iPad app that provides a fresh, interactive way to learn and play a piano. It contains three applications: Flash Card, a fun way to develop your listening and reading skills, Content Browser which gives easy access to the on-board songs and tones and DigiScore Lite which displays the on-board songs as digital notation. You can connect your iPad and piano wirelessly with Roland’s WNA1100-RL Wireless USB Adapter (sold separately), or with a USB cable via the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately).

"On Saturday 23rd November 2013 North Staffs Organ & Keyboard Club did a Playathon at Tesco Longton Stoke-on-Trent for the Diabetes UK Charity. We played from 9 am until 5 pm. Several members took part in either playing one or the other Yamaha Tyros 3 or Tyros 4 keyboards, supplied by our members. When not playing they took their turn in collecting money. Most of the members taking part took the trouble to dress up in costumes, like Mickey & Minnie Mouse, a Court Jester, a Circus Ringmaster, Julius Caesar, Mr & Mrs Santa Clause and one of Santa's helpers, a Telly Tubby with Emu which added the attraction of Tesco customers, who were very generous and helped us to achieve a Total of £1215.52. However to make it a nice round sum the Club made it up to £1250.00, so a cheque for this amount will be handed over to Tesco on Thursday 28th November." Many thanks for your kind interest in our fund raising event. Best Regards, Bill (on behalf of North Staffs Organ & Keyboard Club)

There is now a modification available at Keysound when using a Roland PK9pedalboard with the Korg PA3x, PA900, or PA600 keyboards. We connect a midi cable to control the note information and a new midi preset is made in the Korg keyboard. We then wire a stereo socket to the side of the swell pedal and connect it to the Korg using a stereo jack lead. The pedal can then be calibrated within the 'Controllers' section of the keyboard and must then be saved in the 'Global' settings. It's an absolute dream to play, call us for more information or to use other pedals.

Looking for a high quality piano at a bargain price? then look no further as we now have a huge saving on the Roland DP990f piano. This model is very similar to the DP90 with the exception of audio recording and offers the 'SuperNatural' sound engine alongside the PHA II 88 note hammer action. Stock is brand new, boxed and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Get your order in now for Christmas.

We are now taking this fabulous new piano with us to the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. Come and see us on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th November 2013. All day demonstrations of the piano alongside the Korg PA range of keyboards.
See you there.

Massive interest in the launch of the Yamaha Tyros5
We would like to thank everyone that called in today for all the latest information on the new Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboards in both 61 and 76 note versions with special thanks to all of you who have placed orders today. It really has been a very busy day and we can reassure anyone that couldn’t get through,  that we will have expert staff on again tomorrow to answer any questions that you may have.
Thanks to the orders today, keep your eye out for the part exchanges that will be arriving at bargain prices, to include, Tyros4, Tyros3, Tyros2, Roland and Korg models.

Well it's nearly here, the time when you can find out for yourself what the new features are on the brand new Yamaha Tyros5 keyboard.

• Is it worth changing from my Tyros4 keyboard?
• What colour will it be?
• Will it have a touch screen?
• Is there any brand new technology?
• Is the organ section expanded?

These are just a few questions that we are constantly being asked at Keysound and all will be revealed early tomorrow.
All I can say at this point is, that you will be impressed; in fact you will be 'knocked out' by the sensational new sounds and real rhythm accompaniment section.
Lots to tell you about come back tomorrow first thing: http://www.pianoandkeyboardshoponline.co.uk/
