Christmas present to myself

[Nightcrawler]

Just ordered the 88 note version .

Visited the Yamaha shop in Soho last week to try it out. 

Probably of no interest to most members but to someone with a home recording set up like me, its heaven. Although it will take me a while to get my head around all the features. 

The MODXM8 is around £1700 but worth every penny in terms of keyboard workstation synths. 

Delivery expected 27th December, fingers crossed

Bit more than 88 notes.

Yep that's just the weighted Keyboard 88 notes, same as an acoustic piano. Comes in a shorter keyboard too.

Wow that's a big step up ....

Looks awesome wouldn't have a clue where to start. 

Anyway by New Years Eve hope you've learned to play Roll out the Barrel, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts and When I'm cleaning windows. Be a sensation down at the Old Dog and Duck for New Year celebrations. 

Happy days on the old Joanna 🤣

Try to keep your 88 straight, 555....

Unfortunate exemplar Stills .... the old Didgeridoo blower ........ bit of a fiddler rather than a keyboard player

Careful.... You might offend some other BM's with such disgusting talk.

Better than the rusty trombone.

Reading between the lines a Nightcrawler selfie with his blue veined flute is what you're were expecting as a late xmas surprise.

How very dare you, associating me with a famous homosexual pianist 😁

However I ordered an LED Candelabra to sit above my new keyboard.

It is no secret that Butch has been badgering me for years to have a blow on my pink clarinet.  Each time I declined and advised him to join a woodwind ensemble in Boyztown. 🙃
