I bought it maybe 20 years ago but I think the set up would still be available. I could also save tunes in digital format. It was a fun keyboard but I was really just trying to get my head around playing left and right hands on my harp. I gave it all to my nephew so I don't know the model number or other details. |

If a device has a headphone jack, it almost always has a way to turn off any speakers the device might have. I'm betting it's the same with Yamaha keyboards. |

Even the Kindle Fire 10 has multiple keyboards available for free and a jack for headphones. Its just the action and release are not the same as real. You can record, mix, adjust times and pitch. Sincerely, Gargoyle For travel ... I prefer a harmonica and a cow pasture. |

I was on a keyboard accompanying course with 6 of us present, so, having been told what to do, we call plug in our phones and play away without disturbing each other: the tutor could then listen to us one by one as we each took it in turn to unplug. We all had different makes of keyboards and they all had this facility. |

Good thing she doesn't play banjo or bagpipes. :) |

(That won't work with my horror, as there's a girt big wooden reflector/resonator in the way.) It's related to using a sock in the horn of a wind-up gramophone as a volume control.* Muffling bagpipes is a whole new challenge, which I leave as an exercise. * Which is where "put a sock in it" comes from. Strange but true. |
