Customer Feedback-
"Unfortunately, I do not have the money to purchase this amazing keyboard but I spent about 30 minutes at the store messing around with it. It's easy to learn and play. The sounds remind me of background music you here in the movies. I WISH I HAD THE MONEY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS :)" - Actual User Review - Samash.com "The Yamaha MO6 / MO8 is a tweaker's paradise - pun intended!" - Actual User Review - Yamahamusician.com "This keyboard is toooooooo much. I've got everything. Wanted a small version of a B3 but sat down in the showroom and was blown away with all the sounds and filters. Great keyboard action." - Actual User Review - Sweetwater.com "I have to say this is the easiest workstation I tried out. The menus are very easy to move around. Action is great, finding and tweaking with your sound is so much easier with this machine." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com |
