KN800

Today, i bid farewell to my Technics KN800, a multitimbral keyboard with built-in MIDI sequencer. Bought it in 1991 this little machine served me well especially during my lonely days as a bachelor in Kuantan. Since I bought a new Casio Digital Piano, Previa PX-400R in Dec 2004, I seldom play my KN800 and today i decided to give it away to my good friend for his son.

  1. You've acompanied me singing Sheila Majid's "Dia" with this keyboard during my company's dinner in Hyatt Kuantan... our first gig in a hotel!! cheh cheh...that time (1992) karaoke baru nak mula. The trend nowadays is karaoke.
    So, I can only acompany you singing in the house, tak berani nak approach my alumni to sing during alumni dinners - nanti Azie & Syed Sobrie susah mau cari makan!
