Both of them did a great demo, so I decided to buy one just yesterday

[DaisukeMinamizawanelson]

[MFmaxx]

I’m really excited about my MX88. Like Blake’s videos

You two are amazing jamming together. I love it and most of all I enjoyed it. I bought my Yamaha MX88 a couple days ago at the Guitar Center in Sacramento and I really love this Yamaha MX88 Keyboard Concert Grand Piano sound. I've been a musician for a very long time part time since I worked full time as an IT guy. I played Bass Guitar when I had my Band but I started playing guitar when I was a teen ager. I tried to learn how to play all the instruments which over all added to my knowledge understanding how instruments can be played with having the basic fundamental aspect of how notes and chords are played. I plan to use this MX88 for Gospel Music Production and being a born again Christian. With this Yamaha MX88 capabilities, now I can play and record all the sounds coming from this unbelievable piece of equipment. Great job as always by Yamaha group of engineers. Thanks for all your talent, skills, and abilities in creating such an amazing instrument. God bless.

Greatness! Finally some special performance;)

[Keyboardman]

Synth bass int eh left hand and Rhodes in the right. Blake is adding the accoustic, strings and the leads. fantastic. I'm finding new stuff about my MX88 every day.

[mrexcellent]

As a devoted and avid user/owner of a MX-61, I Love this board and I plan on purchasing the MX-88 in the Fall of this year. Awesome Performance.

Wow you guys are amazing. I want this board so bad. I fell in love with it a Guitar Center. Feels great sounds great and easy to use and fun. The most important part is the price is $999. I will get this keyboard

[johnbordeaumusic]

How do you guys get around the issue of terrible sound when connected to any speaker? Other keyboards sound great coming out of the same setup. The mx88 just sounds like it's underwater and is really dark and dim. Headphones or PC connection sounds amazing. It's just speakers. So taking this to gigs is impossible.

[mowjoe]

The keyboard sounds are very impressive indeed. Very curious though as to what they are being played through. What Amp system are you using?

[Keyboardman]

Blake mentioned the MX61 and MX49. Doesn't the MX series have all the same sounds in all three keyboards?

[mmccarrell]

I like this. How would it work with a 2 tire system as I have a roland juno now and want to get this as my main key and the juno as a second tier to add to it?

[JuniorShepherd]

Great video. Nice song at the end too, was it an original or an arrangement?

[pedromeza]

Blake needs a quality mic, good sounds demo

[martinhuang]

What is the drum set used in the song? What it a built in drum or it came from FM essential?

[jixyana]

Gotta let the other guy talk and/or demonstrate too... LOL

[Steve-plii]

That Yamaha is just another money grab piece of shit
