Something wrong with the black key from my digital piano?

Well I just got my digital piano (Casio Privia) and one black key is broken aka no sound and can’t even press it.

I plan to return it in the future but I want to know anyone knows a way to fix it? Any keyboardist here?

What is a good AND affordable digital piano?

I’m looking for a good AND affordable digital piano, but don’t know where to start. The only things that I know I really want are:

1) ability to plug into my laptop and record;
2) ability to layer music (ie. go back and add more overtop of what I’ve already recorded), and;
3) NO “tinny” sound – the more piano-like it sounds the better.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

what number do i use to tune my digital piano it lets me go from anywhere between -64 to 64?

i just got my williams overture 88 key digital piano and i was exicted. i assembled it and when i played it it was kinda funky. sooooooooo i read the manual about tuning and i can go from -64 up to 64 what number should i use to sound good i can not tell. also when do i press down on the sustain pedal? thanks do you guys also know how to keep the changed settings?

Do you think i should save up for a Nintendo 3DS or save up for a digital piano and alto Saxophone?

Im turning 19 yrs old tommorow! im saving my money wisely do you think i should get the sax and digital piano or get the 3DS? I use to play piano for 11 yrs and stop for 4 years so really like 7 yrs. What do you think will last more longer? i already have an acoustic piano.

How do I repair the keys on my digital piano due to water spill?

Spilled some water on 3-4 keys on my Roland digital piano and now they don’t work. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

Does this look like a reasonable keyboard piano?

I don’t really know what I’m looking for and I don’t know if this is a good deal? I just want a keyboard that I can self learn to play to my songs. I don’t need anything fancy. Does this look like a good keyboard? Honestly?

What is the best affordable electronic keyboard to buy for a 15 year old who wants to learn to play piano?

How easy it to transit from piano to keyboard?

I have a electronic keyboard at home and there is no good keyboard teacher available so that is why I decided to learn piano. I just want to know whether I would be going to face any problem while transitioning from piano to keyboard?

What is the difference between piano and keyboard sheet music ? ?

A friend of mine is looking for sheet music for an electronic keyboard.

I have been lookng for somewhere to download some but i cant find anything specific for keyboard, , , lots for piano, but not keyboard !

What is the difference between the two types ? ?

Can you learn the piano by first learning on an electronic keyboard?

I have a piano in my garage that I want to learn to play, but my house is small and it would be hard to find the time to learn while not bothering others. Can you learn the keyboard with head phones on then practice on the piano when nobodies home?

What IS this subculture???? Have you seen these kids?

I’ve seen these kids (typically 18-late 20′s looking) in every major city I’ve lived in. They typically hang out in touristy areas. WHAT ARE THEY? Is there anywhere on the web that talks about them??

Clothing style= Black and brown cotton/denim. Unidentifyable slogans crafted on, like with a paintbrush or sharpie. Torn off sleeves, ripped off cutoffs. Boots= always leather army boots. CROSS laced. No bright colors at all. No accessories except maybe shoelace necklaces. No nail polish or makeup.

Jewelry = NO SPIKES OR O-rings…..just the occasional nose ring or earrings. Always silver or iron looking. No gems. Sometimes a leather belt-like bracelet on one wrist.

Tattoos= Also minimal, often on the face. No words just tribal like decoration, blackwork. Look homemade.and are simple.

Hair style = Practically always home-done dreadlocks. Shaved undercuts. Artificial coloring or bleaching is rare and minimal. (like one odd highlight…)

Accessories= MOST COMMON= Camping-sized backpacks, sometimes even with musical instruments (violin, guitar, bongo). Sometimes the cases look expensive and sometimes they don’t.

PASTTIMES = Hanging out in public parks in a circle with mongrel dogs on rope-leashes. Rumor is that they travel the country on black-painted school busses or campers. Also a rumor that they fix up and squat in abandoned buildings.

PUBLIC INTERACTION = Hands out ‘zines” with titles like “FIX IT UP!” or “STOP ****ing and START A REVOLUTION!”. Sometimes even panhandle with signs that ask for specific items “NEED SHOELACES” or “NEED FLOUR”. I’ve never seen them ask for money specifically. They don’t give the “Panhandler’s Pitch” either None of that “dude I need 3 bucks for the bus and my mom’s sick blah blah blah..”

DIET/HYGENE = Most describe themselves as “FREEGAN” which means, yes, dumpster diving outside of supermarkets and bakeries. .Most are vegetarian or vegan also who eat like civilized human beings and keep gardens in vacant lots or even buy food with money from stores. They seem to know about soap+water, their clothes look dingy and their hair is wild but their faces and arms are clean-looking. Dispite ratty clothing and hair style, still have a nourished, healthy appearance, Some of the men even have well manicured facial hair like goatees…Dental care is same as any other population, varies with individual.

MUSIC = They carry their own instruments… Never seen with ipods or radios. They seem to just play whatever comes to mind, no identifyable style. Definitely not punk or rock of any kind in case you were wondering.

DRUGS = I don’t know…They don’t look strung out.

ANY IDEAS?
okay it looks like I answered my own question, there is a FREEGAN lifestyle it’s not just a diet thing.

Oh and Basketball? I’m taking the points back by flagging your chatty non-answer. =P

URBAN ANTHROPOLGY= What subculture is this?

ANY IDEAS?
Nevermind, I found out what they were, they’re called Freegans.

And yeah I put it into this catagory among others because I also thought they’d be just runaways and well statistically a significant number of runaways are GLBT. No offense.

Why can’t there be an all Canadian Symphony Orchestra?

And they write their own concertos from scratch and maybe even make their own musical instruments or enhance them, using Canadian volunteer workers.

With violins from Newfoundland and Labrador, violas from Nova Scotia, cello players from New Brunswick (bass players being cool punk kids from Toronto) This would be mostly Maritime string because they’d use fiddle tunes to impose into orchestral string music.

Then you would have accordians from Quebec and some keyboard and drums having solo parts in the concerto. (A French section of one of the orchestral movements.)

The Canadian brass would help out the brass section, but also we’d get BC artists and artisans from Vancouver to design new brass fugal horns to enhance the brass section using Pacific Northwest arts and craft.

For woodwinds, we will focus 100% on Prince Edward Island and develop the reeds from their co-operatives where they’ve been working together for 200 years. And the wood parts of the instruments will be manufactured by lumberjacks in Kapuskasing, Ontario.

And then we will have prairie singers from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.

And the drums, oh yes the drumming, from Nunavut Inuit and then lastly, there will be vocal sound effects from Northwest Territory and special glacial sound effects from the Yukon with sounds of digging shovels for gold.

Why can’t this be created in Canada???
and you know, maybe it should be a youth orchestra. Get Canadian kids into classical music, instead of spending money on prisons for juveniles.
I’m not totally thrilled with Harper to be honest.
but I want it to be very very very Canadian where the trumpet valves get stuck in the middle of the song because the trumpet and trombone oil is made from maple syrup
Actually in the USA, there’s a summer camp for kids to play musical instruments and perform orchestra concerts and get to see famous people come and play on an outdoor stage for 8 weeks. I was a camper there as a kid.

IT’s called Interlochen Arts Camp in Northern Michigan. It is not far from where Macinac Island joins up with Ontario at Sault Ste Marie I believe. IT’s a great camp, kids come from all over the world. And it’s cabin life with lakes and a little bit of soil and mud.

And the camp’s infirmary is basically like Canada’s healthcare in a way. It’s free, you go and they give you what you need to feel better if you’re sick.

hurry, help me beat…asap!!!!!?

a bet? i need to find Time to Say Goodbye (aka con te partiro) free piano sheet music that is not digital and i can view/download it online.
T_T how the heck am i supposed to find SHEET MUSIC at YOUTUBE?

ANYWAYS I’m taking an online photography class and I need to take pictures of my favorite things to do such as a picutre of me playing piano, reading, etc.
I have to take long shots, medium shots and close-ups.

In the assignment, it says:
“Tell the difference between short (macro:1inch-1foot), medium ( 3 feet-5 feet )and long shots (11feet-infinity). Shoot pictures from these different distances”. <- What is the meaning of these ??????
What do I do to use these setting in camera ??? I don't know anything about cameras…I just took them by pressing the bottom… Please explain to me in detail…

Some thoughts on this short piece?

OK let’s. I guess I am never gonna improve if I don’t finally get the courage to ask for some feedback and get constructive criticism, so I’m gonna throw a little something to the wolves. This is a short story I did for university a few years back. It’s a Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? fan fiction I guess (I didn’t think in those terms back then, I had never heard of fan fictions). I’m gonna be completely honest and let you know I pick this one because it’s quite old and one of my early English language pieces so if you guys rip me to shreds, I can live with that by telling myself it was a long time ago and I barely knew English then (Yeah, that’s my story and I’ll stick to it! :-p). If it’s not too bad, maybe I can grow some b*lls and share later pieces. So just a really short piece:

Nostalgia

He dialled 666 and wondered if it was pure coincidence that the artistic mood was induced by this code. He found that in practice many different settings could lead to artistic mood. Like 307, imaginative optimism, or 567: hopefulness. He dialled 666 for convenience. It took a couple of minutes for the electrical impulses to be generated to his brain. He liked these minutes. The emptiness of his soul during these minutes made him feel free. Of course he could also dial 137: sense of freedom. But that seemed artificial to him.
The mood had been processed to his brain. He sat at his computer and typed away. A poem took shape. The problem with the Penfield mood organ was that you didn’t know if you could take credit for your own creation. Surely though, the Penfield didn’t create the words, only drew them out of him. He’d read an online lecture about 19th century writers. Some of them used drugs to write their now long lost poems. Nobody accused them of not being real writers. On his computer, he hit the keyboard like a piano’s. He told himself that writing was all about dying. Music was about life. A piano keyboard was the essence of life. Every man has his own fate. When others dialled 666, they were musicians, painters, sculptors, singers. He was a writer: death was his matter, but the piano idea allowed him to make life his matter too. 543: depression. That was another one that made him write. He had a whole library of dictionaries in his house, real ones: old books with pages of paper and ink all over them. He was stupidly sentimental about these. Nobody had real books anymore, only the Archives Museum where nobody ever really went. He called his library “the cemetery”. It was both holy and morbid. Strange he didn’t feel the same way about pens. He read once that the last pen factory closed only a dozen decades after the computer was invented. Of course at the beginning computers were too expensive and too large for everyday use. But after? When they got cheaper and could be slipped into one’s pocket, why did people keep using pens? He couldn’t imagine using one. Not even a digital one. It made no sound, it was too close to the paper. Ink would flow like blood. “But Anton, his publisher said, people love that shit. It’d promote your books.” Something to do with nostalgia.
The neighbours were yelling, distracting him. But he had finished his poem anyway. The yelling wouldn’t last long either. Soon, Rick would probably set Iran’s mood organ on 594: pleased acknowledgement of husband’s superior wisdom in all matters. “If I had a wife, Anton thought, I’d never mess with her Penfield.” He’d fall in love with a woman who could dial her own settings. Suppressing her critical sense didn’t feel right. But wasn’t that a consequence of the mood organ anyway?

At his publisher’s, he read his poem out loud. It felt familiar, like all those he’d ever written.
- What do you think is the artistic movement of our time? Anton suddenly asked.
- Neo-classicism, the publisher laughed. Some nostalgia for the past. Since books have disappeared, we’ve been searching a way to revive the old arts. Read that poem again.
- “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”

mmhh… If I don’t get more answers, I’m gonna have to delete this and repost it at a better time.
Ah thanks Lonnie, that’s something I can work with. I’ll have to track down the misspellings and punctuation mistakes. I also agree about the harsh rhythm, I was telling myself that when I re-read this piece today. It doesn’t flow as well as it could. But I do want to ask about the sentence fragments. I constantly fight my grammar check with those. I know how to write a full sentence. If I don’t, it’s because I don’t want to. I know I can abuse them sometimes. But isn’t it ever acceptable to use sentence fragments?
I think I’m going to make a list of questions like that sometimes because that’s not my only issue.

Am I spoiled? Cause I don’t think I am that spoiled. I’m 18 years old?

My parents have two houses but the second one we built is not super super fancy and is not a million dollar home. The reason for two houses is my dad work place was almost 3 hours from our house, I am homeschooled,and when my brother wanted to go to public school we didn’t want to go to our local school cause everyone is rich and are bad influences. Our houses , the first one. Its a 3 bedroom 3.5 bath with garage and its on the golf course, and we don’t play golf. The other house took 3 remodeling to become what it is now. 4 bedroom with 3 bath and my dads home theater which is his hobby. My dad is the only one who brings in the money.

Over the years I have bough
4 refurbished ipods
-nano ( needed more space.)
32 video ipod FIrst Ipod needed more space
8 gig ipod touch ( I needed more space)
160 ipod classic, ( because i am tired of buying a new one and not having enough space.)
Canon 6 megapix digital camera under $200 and I still have it
Canon camera e1 on sale for $100 normally $250 it broke and got the lense error
I bought a electric piano $550 so I can practice when my dad is napping or when my parents are watching movies- I spend well over a year, considering buying one, and researched the best one for the price I wanted
I bought a ice cream maker, and its really highly rated and I got it for $40 dollars on sale
I bough a head lamp for 20 dollars and normally 46 dollar and 7 dollars shipping
$32 dollars worth of art supplies that are on sale at 40% off
$70 dollars worth of oil paints
$60 dollars worth of beads and craft stuff
bought tea on sale from amazon 32 dollars had 18 boxes of tea at .08 cent per tea bag

My parents bought me for birthdays and Christmas
laptop lenovo for high school
and maybe I’m getting a macbook pro for college if I feel I need one, which I don’t right now.
and a netbook lenovo idea pad s10-3 $280 on sale for a trip across the seas for my online classes
Ipod speakers
faber castell color pencils wooden box set 100 pencils I have barely used, I want more experience
more art supplies, water color paints, graphite set, and other art stuff.
Easel that is portable
3.2 freezer fridge for college $240 edge star energy star
mountain bike $500 but its in super good condition and I am saving it for college to use
A car for around $20,000- people are going to mad knowing I was bough a car but let me point out some things, My mom is super scared about safety, and wanted me to have big car against the semi trucks and stuff. She wouldn’t allow me to have small car and she has a prius and she considers it not substantial for long driving trips. She wants a tank, it had to be safe and it had to be a good brand car, Toyota, Subaru , or maybe Hyhundia .
We got a highlander 07 at 41,000 miles.
Let me also point out that when we started out looking I know this wasn’t my dream car, I knew this car has to get me though college and after college it needs to be able to get 200,000 miles
it had to less than 15,000mile per year. My brother was given a car and if he was giving this option he wanted the nicest sleekest design.

Things I have done for others-
donated 50 dollars to Hattie earth quakes
and 25 dollars to tornadoes disasters
and 25 to japan
$20 in chickens
share in a water buffalo, goat, cow- this is to heffier international where then send and train people to use an animal to help improve their lives.
So I might add some more details but I just need to know. I know it sounds like i am spoiled but I don’t act like it. A girls bragged about her house being bigger then our smaller house ,and i just let it go, I don’t like making waves either. So Yes Spoiled No? Slightly?
