Controversy on YouTube
What seems like a war of words has broken out on a keyboard player's website - not about the player or his playing, but about the sounds of his instrument. We produce below a screen shot with the actual comments:
Perhaps it is only fair to say that the Ketron Keyboard was designed around ten years ago whereas the Tyros 4 is the latest keyboard from Yamaha. Not only that, the player tells us that it NOT an accordion that is being played but an instrument called a 'musette'.
As far as cost is concerned, the Tyros 4 is said to be about £3,400 wheras the Ketron is around £1,400. All interesting stuff, we think. Do you agree that it is an unfair comparison? Why not add to to the 8,900 viewers who have already seen this video and listen yourself to form your own opinion?
Just for the fun of it, here is something on the Musette and the sounds they produce:
After listening to this, it is difficult to believe the Wiikipedia statement that the Musette comes from the bagpipe family.
