Grandma's Penghu Bay（外婆的澎湾 in Chinese) is a Chinese song by a Taiwanese singer Pan Anbang. They failed to translate the song title into English properly instead they translated it with Google translate. Because the Chinese word 湾 (Bay in English) share the same pronunciation with another Chinese word 弯 (Bend in English). That's why you got such a funny name 'Penghu bending grandmother'.🤣
This was the third video I watched about roll up keyboards. I had considered buying one due to their low cost but now I can see why and I don't think I want to compromise the quality. It's really a shame something so convenient and compact can't sound better. I've never been or ever will be really good so I don't need help in that department...lol Thanks for the video. It was informative and fun to watch. : )
I think that the song on 6:08 (aka.The Penghu bending Grandmother) is Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major, K.545. I have no idea why they called it such an odd name when they could just go with the original one.

i had this thing in the early 2000s , it was pretty useful at times , mine had midi in and out sou you could use it as a controller for soft synths , i paid 5 quid for mine
I have a Yamaha piano large one and all those tones you just said are on my piano as well, and sound pretty the same which is pretty cool it’s basically a travel piano 🎹😻
1:19 This is the General MIDI 1 patch setup which I was currently dealing with at the very first phase of my ColomboGMGS2 soundfont. Big shout-out to LOOTd for attempting to read out the whole bunch of 128 tone patches.
The tones on that keyboard and a lot of the keyboards like that follow the general midi standard. The standard has 128 different sounds, that is why there are that many in the sound bank for the keyboard.
I think you were expecting a lousy experience, and then leaned in that direction. But really, for $100, it’s really not that bad. I’m looking for something I can put in the overhead of an airplane. Thoughts, anyone?
There is nothing like watching a millenial discovering the wonders of 1980s General Midi patches. Also, having those still implemented in some chinese decade old novelty.
@@SlyHikari03 you’re right, GM was codified in 91’ but the basics was there since the mid-80s: for example my Roland E-20 (1988) has pretty much standard 128 patches (starting with piano, harpsichord, celeste, organ…ending with seashore and telephone)
While the keyboard may be portable idk how good it would be for hacking computers. Live Free or Die Hard taught me that hackers love their roll up keyboards.
I really enjoyed this. More entertaining than anything else, as I am not in the market for a roll up keyboard. It is one more thing that we can credit Star Trek: The Next Generation for inventing, along with the ipad. S6E19 "Lessons".
I'm hoping I can modify one of these to use as a janky set of stowable and portable bass pedals to control a highly modified early Casiotone bass and rhythm section.
I can sort of also see why it's called Bending, though, they use 彎 which means curve instead of 灣 as in 台灣 , which the song is meant to be called Grandmother's Penghu Bay.
I just found this exact keyboard at a thrift store for CAN$8. It actually works pretty good and I was enjoying it until I went to view a tutorial and realized that my keyboard it is out of tune a full step! C = B, D = C#, E = D#, F = E, etc. If anyone knows how to fix this please post here. My favourite tone is #36 Slap Bass 1. I like trying to play Seinfeld breaks lol
I just bought the exact same piano and I can say that I'm pretty disappointed. I watched many videos where people play music with ease, meanwhile I'm really struggling to play it. They say it has many other probelms which I don't really see. I mean the sound is amazing and it has many options but when I try to play it's so hard for me and many keys just play multiple times when I touch them once. Also, many keys don't play at all when I play with both hands and it's very annoying. I would definitely not suggest it guys
Ohhhh. That intro. I just love you guys. My ears want to slap you. But my brain totally dig you. You made me bipolar. Highly.!!! Don’t try again to name all the organs in the midi bank. You will exhaust your breath... without a real need. Some plug ins these days has midi banks more than 500 sounds...
Really funny video, no doubt 😁😁 In any case, would a device like this service ones need to handle a vsti through a DAW? I need a 88 keys midi keyboard but I do lack the necessary space in my room.
It would work, since it has a proper MIDI out... at least until the flex circuit inside broke from being rolled and unrolled too many times. But you would hate yourself long before then, because they are awful to use.
You can't really call it a 'piano' when it's just on or off, no dynamics, no velocity like on a synth or MIDI device. I'm not 'against' keyboards or something, that's not what I mean, just saying a piano is named after the fact that it was capable of a bigger dynamic range then the harpsichord like keyboard instruments of back in the day. Piano, forte, mezzoforte, that kind of stuff. 7:00 Got a koto like timbre and scale going on there with his head.
Does anyone know how to change the initial set up for the volume level so that it does not go back to level 12 every time I start it (the Roll Up Piano)? It's just too loud for me. I have to manually decrease the volume to 1 every time I turn it on. How can I set it up so that it's at level 1 at all times?
I bought a silicon piano for 70 euros... What a waste of money Edit: I have been playing piano for 7 years now and couldnt manage to handle that crap Edit 2: 6:22 Seriously Charles? Sonata No. 16 KV 545 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. British period drama...
Name another instrument that needs a roll up version
A guitar and drums
LOOTd auto tune.!!! And it’s artists???!!!
LOOTd imloooooveeeeeeee you guys.
Otomaton
LOOTd
Upright Bass
You have more experience with instruments than most musicians. Let that sink in.
Does that make me a professional?
@@LOOTd A professional in unconventional instruments.
@@LOOTd You know piano better than me
No. No he doesn’t.
@@ianbarber2937 shush
This channel is the best 'music' channel i've ever seen....
Seriously. I mean it.
여기 몬티 파이튼 추가요• read my comment. If I were in a room with Charles probably I would slap him. But I totally dig his characters and sarcasm
this could make an abstract accordion
An abstrordian
A horn kid adult toy
I think I've heard of that before 🤔

Easy rule. If it isn’t acoustic it’s really a Keyboard.
A piano has the hammer striking strings action going on.
I don’t think this could be considered as a keyboard... maybe some shit but nothing better
You can always tell a guitar player, they try vibrato on the keys :)
Those tones are all standard MIDI instruments lol
I was wondering if someone else noticed it 😂
Dude, the amount of tones in that, reminds me of the tones in my Casio keyboard

The penguin bending grandmother is somthing from Italian Baroque.

The opening is so cool
this needs more views

Charles please try to unbox a violin in your next video, I really want to see you play a violin
clicked here because I thought he was gonna play cruel angel's thesis... Anyway good video!
I bought this piano/keyboard once, and as i was changing the tone, it gave me a little electric shock, haven't used it since!
Came here for the piano roll review. Stayed for the jokes :)))
"that's -pokemon- " you tried, oh you tried
Tried, but not hard enough it seems
There is nothing like watching a millenial discovering the wonders of 1980s General Midi patches. Also, having those still implemented in some chinese decade old novelty.
Pretty sure they are from 90’s but I won’t judge you.
@@SlyHikari03 you’re right, GM was codified in 91’ but the basics was there since the mid-80s: for example my Roland E-20 (1988) has pretty much standard 128 patches (starting with piano, harpsichord, celeste, organ…ending with seashore and telephone)
Heh - I recognize the four chord song tutorial you watched! Andy Piano / Andy Guitar are how I’m learning to play my instruments!
While the keyboard may be portable idk how good it would be for hacking computers. Live Free or Die Hard taught me that hackers love their roll up keyboards.
Charles you are the funniest RUclipsr and the funniest musician 😂
Seriously you are awesome!
I feel like the tones are arranged just like a yamaha psr-510
Why are you so funny you supposed to have more viewers dude great content and reaction lol
I really enjoyed this. More entertaining than anything else, as I am not in the market for a roll up keyboard. It is one more thing that we can credit Star Trek: The Next Generation for inventing, along with the ipad. S6E19 "Lessons".
Epic piano *skills*
Great review and videography!
this video was gratuitous to my confidence
I'm hoping I can modify one of these to use as a janky set of stowable and portable bass pedals to control a highly modified early Casiotone bass and rhythm section.
... These are basic MIDI sound fonts
I recognize them from playing Descent 1 and 2
hehe..the real piano roll! :-)))
You know that there is a Yamaha melodica right?
Your wishes can be fulfilled
That list of tones is the standard General MIDI set
Lmao. The Penghu bending Grandmother. Really interesting song in Taiwan.
Mozart
I can sort of also see why it's called Bending, though, they use 彎 which means curve instead of 灣 as in 台灣 , which the song is meant to be called Grandmother's Penghu Bay.
You are so funny. What a hell this toy. Love your video
I would play around with the gun sounds for a long time.. Turn it all up near the window.
So this is MIDI and works with Reaper for example, right?
My magic mushroom trips will now be complete!

Just purchased this! So hopefully its great!!!
Is there a way to adjust the rhythm speed? I have one of these turkeys and I can't figure it out.
Believe it or not, my keyboard has 482 different voices, including BREATH NOISE!!!
Please review a pocket / mini trumpet. You can get one from Amazon starting at 129 bucks. I'm interested if those are rubbish or ok sounding.
Those are all the Casio voices
My boy
do you know how to connect it to computer software? like FL studio?
mine doesnt work, pls help
Just simple questions: with all of these sounds, is there the Organ sound as well? And the keyboard sound?
Thanks.
Why this looks like a 1 million subs channel but only has 33k?
That’s exactly what I thought
I have a yamaha keyboard and it has over 200 sound and demos and you say 128 sounds and demos is overkill.
love the review :) but I am not buying the keyboard!
Only amosdoll music fans know that he was using his tourtial
Penghu bending grandmother - or the more obscure name Mozart sonata no. 16 in C major K545

This keyboard has midi or not ? And you connect her at the smartphone or not ?
This is awesome
5:21 MmMmMmMmMmMm!

PENGHU BENDING GRANDMA IS HAMA THE BLOODBENDER 👵🏽 🩸
Is it possible to connect with a speaker ?
Yes ofc
Seems like an excellent torture device...
Headphone warning!!!
I used that one
Does it have sustain ??
Unfortunately not, though we've got a review of a compact keyboard that does have a sustain pedal that'll be out later this week :)
That's!... Vivaldi.
