Fazley FKB-180 keyboard starter kit #3

General

Starter set

This set goes one step further than its little brother, the FKB-120. One key difference is that the FKB-180 has a socket for sustain pedal, for beautifully smooth piano playing. You get the sustain pedal included, along with a keyboard stand, a keyboard stool and headphones. A very complete set.

The keyboard

Fazley has given the FKB-180 keyboard more options than you can dream of as a beginner, at a very attractive price. This keyboard's 61 keys are touch-sensitive, making the keyboard feel natural, rather than cheap. Play a collection of up to 422 different instruments, including many different pianos, organs, guitars, strings and, of course, some helicopter, applause and telephone sounds to top it off. With 210 rhythms and accompaniment samples, you can easily create your own songs: let the keyboard put in an intro, create your own different verses and use the outro button to end your song. If you can't make your own songs yet, you can always play along with the 120 demos/songs already pre-programmed.

Make it more fun with effects and learn new songs!

Playing on the FKB-180 only becomes more fun when you make good use of its many features. For instance, effects like sustain, vibrato and echo can make the sound much better. Bending tones using the pitch bend wheel next to the keys is also something that won't get boring any time soon. The dual-voice mode allows you to combine two different sounds. With Auto Chord mode, you can have the accompaniment chords change automatically. You can form these chords on the first 19 keys in the A.B.C. mode or across the entire keyboard in the Full Range variant. If you don't want to remain a beginner forever, you can follow Fazley's lessons. The clear LCD display shows you what to play; that way, you can easily learn new songs!

Even more possibilities

As if the aforementioned functions were not enough, it is also possible to connect various external devices to your keyboard. In fact, using the USB port, you can easily play your favourite songs and try playing along. If this starts to sound good, you can record them to the FKB-180's memory. For advanced keyboard players, it is also possible to connect your laptop using a MIDI cable.
