E. Granados - Allegretto from Escenas románticas (cheap digital piano)

[@AndiKnittel]

Nice work.

[@tateharmann3057]

Thanks Andi - appreciate it. It's a work in progress...I've been playing this and other Granados on an old Yamaha digital piano with weighted keys and it's sounding better. I find it hard to play on those keys that aren't weighted.

A beautiful short piece! Well played Tate! Maybe a transcription for guitar ( or two ) would be interesting too!

[@tateharmann3057]

Thank you! I know I've heard guitar transcriptions for other pieces in this suite...but not this one. Maybe you can be the first...hehe

[@Josh.Vanjani]

Well played, Tate! Nice to hear some piano for a change of pace! I haven't had access to a real piano for a few years, but perhaps I should dust off the digital and give it a go one of these days.

[@tateharmann3057]

Hey Josh, yes I love piano and grew up playing. Which digital piano have you got? This particular one I have is about the worst I've ever had haha. But it's still decent :)

@@tateharmann3057 I've got the Yamaha YPT-400.

@@Josh.Vanjani Nice - Yamahas have great sound...better than this one haha.

@@Josh.Vanjani FYI I went on my local craigslist and bought a Yamaha P-65 for $140 yesterday. It's kind of sad that this model is from 2006/2007 and sounds better than my current Alesis haha. It will need a felt pad swapped out to quiet the keys but it won't be the first time I crack open a digital piano. I think for the money, Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine is the best out there so I'll probably save up for one of those pianos that use it. Just and FYI - in case you want to get a full 88 weighted/graded digital piano for cheap. I think the P-70 is nearly exactly the same as the P-65 also..

@@tateharmann3057 Cool, thanks for the tip! Yeah, I bought mine mostly for sound effects/synth type of stuff, and have used it for videos a few times. An 88 key weighted keyboard is a good alternative to the real thing. Next time I go down to Newport, I should try and book the vintage Steinway in the music practice room. Somewhere I have a video of myself playing it, I'll have to go on a hunt for the tape (LOL). Looking forward to hearing your new keyboard!
