There's a whole generation of pre-schoolers that might possibly become famous from playing these kinds of digital instruments.

I remember when the synths came out - - Many, such as Donald Fagen, Felix Cavaliere and Billy Preston didn't want any part of them. Fagen even claimed that digital keyboards were never in tune.

How times change through the years...just sayin'....

Theres no need to mod it is there? Just get yourself a midi thingy, sample whatever sound you want and run it through that.

Seriously the YouRock one looks like a toy but makes some nice noises. Oh it has strings too.

Give this vid a go at about a minute and a half in. Very Bill and Ted.

As a guitarist it is a bit of a toy, but what a toy eh? I can jam with my 3 year old and she can't sound a bad note!


Mike the first digital keyboards weren't were they? Aint that why low C is off to high C?

You may be right, Nik, I know that my Fender Chroma Polaris stays in tune well though?

Hmm most likely to go the way of the VG hanging on my wall. I wonder if it consumes batteries at the same rate?
