Roland Fantom G Keyboards


I've just come back from a great Roland training day which focused on the new Roland Fantom G series fo keyboard workstations.


The Fantom G's are great keyboards = having been a pro keyboard player for around 18 years, I can honestly say that the design of these instruments has really been thought about before production. There are loads of features that make live playing so much better - for ecample the PERFECT PATCH REMAIN stops the sounds cutting off when you change patch.


The programmable pads can be used as a numeric keypad, and the new LIVE MODE makes layering/splitting the keyboard so easy to do.


I love this keyboard and will definately be getting one for my own personal use as soon I can!!!

Scouting For Girls shop at Bonners


Last month when Scouting for Girls were touring, they were playing Brighton Dome. We got a phone call on the day they were playing from their tour manager asking for a Casio PX310 portable digital piano which needed to be delivered to them at the Dome that day. We have these in stock, so we got it over to them that evening. They even offered us free tickets for the gig!


They already had a Casio PX310, but wanted a spare one incase anything should happen to it. At £299, they got themselves a bargain!

Sanyko Flutes now in store!!

As a flute player, I am very excited about the arrival in store of 2 Sanyko flutes, the 201 and 301 models.

These are fantastic professional flutes, the 201 has a solid silver headjoint and the 301 has the solid silver headjoint and body. They both have a beautiful tone and are a pleasure to play, the keywork is light and facilitates quick playing. The lower registers are rich and deep in tone and the higher registers are clear and bright and easy to reach.

The 301 is by far the superior, having a solid silver tube really does imrove the sound quality, if I had the money, I would buy this flute today! I currently own a Miyazawa, but these Sankyos have made me question my belief that Miyazawas are unbeatable!! If you find yourself near our shop, I would really recommend coming to try one, you will not be disappointed.
