Users Give Yamaha Workstation Keyboard Rave Reviews

Owners can't stop raving about the amazing Yamaha MOTIF XS8 Music Production Synthesizer Workstation Keyboard. Live on stage, working through a grueling studio session or composing at home, the Yamaha MOTIF XS8 is a user-friendly powerhouse of a workstation that has absolutely everything you need to create superb, professional-quality music.

This amazing workstation keyboard has so many incredible features it gets enthusiastic reviews from every user. Here's what current users have to say:
Long-time owner and semi-pro rock/jazz musician B3dawg said the Yamaha MOTIF XS "still amazes me on a regular basis. The action is great and the build quality better yet -- but the sounds trump these qualities 10-fold. . . . Yamaha just keeps outdoing themselves." B3dawg said the MOTIF XS easily beats his Roland Fantom and Korg. He called it the "perfect desert island keyboard," the only instrument you'll ever need. 

"What this keyboard has done for my music production is just unbelievable," raves reggae musician micpro. "I've had this keyboard for almost a year now, and it keeps on amazing me everyday." He also rated Yamaha's product support forums "top notch," noting that the instrument has a fast learning curve.

"The sounds are remarkably real, and you have tons of arpeggios that can be changed on each instrument in the performance mode, along with any instrument in that preset. You can really get deep into all the features of the SX, but I didn't find it overly complicated to figure out," said piano and recording artist Tommy G, who purchased a few Yamaha tutorials to speed up the learning process but also found plenty of good help online.

Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar Built for Serious Musicians

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/-Byrdland-Guitar?sku=517860&CJAID=10381297&CJPID=2318773

Two Nashville session players were the brainchild behind a new electric guitar form that revolutionized the music world. Named for designers Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, Gibson introduced its revolutionary Thinline Series in 1955 with the debut of the Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar. In developing its Thinline Series, Gibson sought to create a middle ground between full-size hollowbodies and smaller but noticeably heavier solidbodies. Neatly bridging that gap, the narrow-profile Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar gave serious musicians a comfortable, lighter-weight instrument that could withstand hours of session work.

Featuring the same painstakingly hand-carved spruce top and high-grade maple back and rims as the Gibson L-5, the Byrdland Thinline Series has an overall depth of just 2 1/4 inches, considerably narrower and lighter than the 3 3/8-inch L-5. But it was the Byrdland's short scale 23 1/2-inch neck that first made it the darling of session guitarists back in the 1950s and '60s. That unusually short, thin neck made it possible for guitarists to create unique stretched-chord voicings and facilitated fast single-note runs.

If you've ever listed to Motown recordings, you've heard the Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar in action. Veteran Motown session guitarist Dennis Coffey, who appears on virtually every Motown recording from the 1960s and '70s, still plays his prized Byrdland. Nashville artist Hank Garland used a Byrdland to back Elvis Presley during studio sets. The Motor City Madman, hard rock guitarist Ted Nugent, is so famous for playing a Byrdland that Gibson has developed a signature model named for him.

Whether you're onstage or in the studio, the handsome Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar will let you push your music to new limits. Visit our online store to purchase the Gibson Custom Shop Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar.
