Who is also still coming back after all these years to appreciate the playing and sound?

[craigshaw]

I'm so glad the user has a choice of waveforms. That REALLY expands the range of sounds available. What a great little instrument.

[Vehenate]

I’ve watched this video hundreds of times but everytime he hits the Leslie control I get chills

[YamahaMusicUSA]

Hey fellow YouTubers, we just want to let you know we appreciate the feedback on the synth.

Yamaha hit the ball out of the park with this. After all these years, still a kick-ass keyboard.

[WheelsGood.]

The industrial designer did a fantastic job with this series of keyboards.

[anonymouse]

I could literally watch you play with keyboards all day!

[santranquil]

1:43 "I don't know why I'm playing bridge over troubled water"

Because it sounds fucking amazing!

[dinorocker]

OH MY GOD, I was expectin' an organ demo, but a little over halfway in you turned it into a wicked soundin' synth.

[gdell]

As a guitarist in a band who wants to occasionally add a bit of keyboard without having to shell out for or hump around a Nord, this is absolutely perfect.  It would be great if they were all in the same keyboard though.  Just have to choose which to get.  This sounds epic though.

[arkiteuthis]

The letters are actually types of organs. For example: H stands for Hammond, V stands for Vox, F for Farfisa, and so on

[mikepawlikguitar]

1:15 AHHAHA I died. I was NOT expecting that! Brought me to tears, man. A+ playing and unbelievable sound for such a small little thing. Great video

[haui]

This is how you present an instrument!

[FinalBaton]

That sounds insanely good. Now I want to buy one to play during our beer-league hockey games between whistles, haha

[TheDrummaQueenhwc]

4 years later and I’m still sold. This is pure Gold ⭐️🙌🏼

[ctrlaltrees]

I've watched all of your Reface videos and left this one til last because I really wasn't expecting much from this model... But I think it's actually my favourite!

[lycosa]

I used to hate organs. Until I saw this video years ago and for whatever reason, I keep coming back to watch it. I wish I had half the energy and spirit Dr. Mix puts into these videos. He's like the 'Ants Canada' of music. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll definitely get the comparison.

[noe]

So refreshing to find a video where someone PLAYS THE DAMN THING. Too many Americans standing round talking about the features and cables.

[ManelRuivo]

seriously, yamaha blew my face with this reface series... dude, this is astounding! also, i aways think most people that present keyboards suck at playing. this is a all round ecletic and experienced player! this was very enjoyable to listen and watch! win win win!

[dvamateur]

They all sound wonderful.  The best part is the interview with the Japanese designers of the Reface line.  Wonderful people.  So much enthusiasm in them.   I am hoping larger audiences reach out to these instruments and buy them.  Not just musicians, not just hobbyist, but everybody.  That's what I'd like to see, and this is the right product for this to happen.  I want Yamaha to sell million of these and change the world for the better.
