    my family had this piano and as a kid i loved playing around with it. at some point we got rid of it though. i really wish i could get it back, it was so much fun to play, and all these sounds brought back so many memories.

    I learned music in a B-55 when I was 8 years old. When I switched to electric bass guitar, I plugged into this organ and got the purest tone I've ever heard. Even today it is my benchmark for a greeat bass tone.

      I have about ten old-school Yamaha Electone's. And I use one of them for TV audio output, as well as a stand for the plasma panel. So the movie soundtrack is very powerful.

    Thanks a lot for the video.
    At the end of the seventies my parents bought this same organ, and we spent years playing with it...
    I don't have it anymore (some day it stopped working), but I still remeber every key and every sound....
    I still have the user manual, and it is full of nostalgia

    Hello! just acquired a B-55 myself but it has a constant humming/crackly sound when turned on, you can't hear the sound when you play notes so it's not affecting play if you play loudly but it's always there in the background. Would you know what that would be from? thank you !

      Hi, scroll and switch all all the controls and switches many times. There is a chance that such an action will help

    Amigo buenas tardes tengo un Yamaha similar, pero no me funcionan 2 ritmos se podrá arreglar?
    Gracias su ayuda

      ¡Hola! Aquí está mi respuesta tardía: tal vez el problema es mecánico y los 2 ritmos no funcionan porque no hay contactos en el botón. Nunca me he encontrado con una situación en la que solo una parte de los ritmos no funciona

    my nieces were playing on mine the other day and somehow they activated a speed device and all my auto tunes have spedup and won't slow down. any suggestions on what could be the problem and how to repair?

    • @acousticnature
      @acousticnature  3 роки тому +1

      maybe you should check the tempo control? the plastic handle may have disconnected from the real actuator

    What is the function of the white block that is called custom A-B-C?

    • @acousticnature
      @acousticnature  Рік тому

      "White" is an automatic accompaniment on the lower manual, but you need to drive the bass pedals yourself

      From 0$ (USA, Europe) up to ~1000$ (regions which these organs were never imported officially, for example - Russia)

    I have a very similar organ, but when I press the yellow preset button the upper keyboard goes mute... I guess you wouldn’t have any technical knowledge as to why?

    • @acousticnature
      @acousticnature  4 роки тому +1

      This probably means that your special preset selection block (piano,harp, vibraphone etc) does not provide commutation. Try to shake it up - press every yellow and green buttons 10 and more times. Also you should use a contact cleaner spray for this block, and for yellow preset selector.
