Well (un)fortunately I missed the opportunity and it went up to its old price... I'm still keyboard-less or even melodica-less for now. I'm still waiting for that special (but affordable) keyboard to catch my eye... darn @Rubens for showing that cat keyboard 😆

    Well, this one is not truly an "exotic" keyboard, but it's fun to look at anyway.

    When we still had a bass player in our practice group, I used to play on the keytar to get a couple tones/solos in here and there. I enjoyed that and it helped me build improvisation skills. There are various color combinations available on ebay and the "blade" (the red thing) can be customized with decals, etc. Btw, this one runs on 8 AA batteries. One battery charge lasts about 4-5 hours or so.

      MandM I've had my eye on those for a while. I have no practical use for one, but I want it anyway! 😃

        MandM I used to play on the keytar

        Do you have video? If so I want to see and hear this! It looks like it would be very fun and awesome!

            Hehehe! If I find the catty keyboard at a reasonable price I'll buy it and send it to you. Pinky promise! 😝

              rogerch Perhaps someday, when I have mustered up enough courage to show my playing 😀

                Before you know it, we'll be as cool as this guy!

                  TC3 Yeah, now we are talking ... I like that song !

                    I will provide the bass guitar! (I'd have to practice quite a bit though, haha, that picture was probably taken 30 years ago)

                      Sophia That's wonderful if you can play several instruments ! By now I barely know the notes on the fretboard 😄

                        Well "play" is a big word... though I toyed around with quite a few instruments since they were always readily available. Bane of growing up among musicians and never really becoming one 😃

                        I would love a keytar!
                        this is the closest I can get

                          Wow! That's incredibly clever!! It must have taken you ages to develop the hand independence. I have seen people play harmonica and guitar or piano simultaneously but never guitar and piano like that.

                          Now you need to add the challenge of playing the drums with your feet 😂

                            Rob That is awesome! I am impressed!

                                Sophia Thank you, Sophia.
                                I think it maybe helps being left-handed.

                                  rogerch Thank you 🙂

                                    thepianoplayer416 I actually have a first gen (not touch sensitive) one of these. I got it when I was expecting to be away from home a lot. Definitely more of a toy than a serious instrument, but I've kept it because it is kind of fun to get it out once in a while and play with a few things.

                                        Guess what?!? I found one! And it's absolutely ADORABLE!!! Sandy is ready to provide the lyrics to the meowsic, it seems...

                                          Sophia
                                          Hahaha that is absolutely awesome! I haven't seen such a happy face in a very long time!
                                          And Sandy is looking ready to belt it out!
