    Cilt/Kilt Benefits

    I needed a cheap n cheerful lightweight kybd for gigging. The ones we have in the studio are brill but heavy. I found a Yamaha on special offer. Most of the features on it I wont use, I just need some good basic 'live' sounds to do the job, which it had.
    When I came to pay, they took another £15 off the price simply because I was wearing my Cilt.
    Hey ... made me day

    Gosh Derek - that looks huge! Is it a standard piano keyboard size? And you say it is lightweight?

    I think I will have a go at that myself - 'kilted haggling'

    Have fun with your new acquisition.

    Regards

    Definitely one to remember, always wear a kilt when going shopping, you just might get a better bargain.

    So how many keyboards would you have to purchase to "save" enough for another kilt?

    Chas ... standard piano kybd size it is. It is touch sensitive but the keys themselves are not weighted like a piano. It is still lightweight though.

    Do you have the X-shaped stand to go with it? Those are really handy to adjust for different heights of pianists, or for playing while standing.

    Congrats on the good price!
