There are always those special moments when the silence needs to be broken, and the air filled with joyful noise. I couldn't be more specific!
First is the Behringer MS-! and Keyboard Synthesizer, monophonic. There is a huge learning curve for this instrument. Understanding the wavelengths, envelopes, oscillations, etc. demands a brilliant radio electronics expert. Memorizing this stuff can be hardly won.
Next up is the Casio CTK-6200 workstation, portable keyboard. This is polyphonic and has more sounds than I can describe. These both soothe the mood and relieve the edge of troubling times. I took private lessons from the 2nd grade to the 12th, once a week, and was made to practice at least 45 minutes a day. I never really enjoyed the pressures of having to do homework, etc. and being no longer driven by the Whip, I do enjoy moments of creativity. Happy New Year. Edit for 3 good photos of the Casio. That is a cruel trick to play on New Year's Eve after someone has slammed down a few!
