    Big like on this one, I really appreciate the details you provide and the fact that you re not limiting on showing some simple harmony, you re actually creating on it, which remembers me how I learned piano the first... I had a Fujiyama, 37 keys as well and I wished at that age of playing a PSR. Meanwhile I grew up and I got professional gear, but I think you still found a way to make this little instrument so desirable. Cheers.

Imagine if Yamaha added the things he mentioned in the video, with more quality sounds, and dual crystal clear speakers. This little keyboard could even better.
