An 88 key keyboard is what you will need, and the Yamaha YPG series produces one of the best 88 key keyboards, also known as grand size keyboards. The YPG series keyboard is primarily meant for the North American market, and contains the usual hundreds of musical styles and voices.

But a lot of people prefer these keyboards because of the availability of weighted keys in this series of keyboards, which resembles more like a piano. This way they can use it for piano practice and it also gives them the flexibility to carry them around, since they are comparatively light weight.

As you go higher in the series, the more expensive ones contain graded hammer action which exactly simulates the keys on a grand piano. The keys are harder to play in the lower octaves and lighter in the higher octaves. But because of the graded hammer action, the weight also comparatively increases.

Some of the models in this series include – the ypg 635, ypg 535, and the ypg 235. So if you are looking for a keyboard with more than 61 keys, if you love playing songs on top of a backing rhythm, then you need to consider a Yamaha YPG keyboard. This series contains both 76 keys keyboards as well as 88 keys keyboards.

This song has all the bells and whistles – or at least it is called Bells and Whistles in French. It it one of the least known songs by Belgian techno act Telex. Here I play it on a group of Casio toy keyboards – or entry level keyboards – in a multitrack recording. I haven’t done anything to the sounds – they are as they came from the instruments. However, the ostinato that runs through the entire melody is a result of playing two sounds (on the SA-1 and SA-20) on top of each other.
