I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the beginning of our new video series, ‘Average Keyboard Guy’, hosted by me, Chris.
This series is more than just a project; it’s a journey into the heart of what has been a lifelong passion for digital pianos and keyboards.

You can probably sense my enthusiasm and deep affection for these instruments in the way I talk about them.
They’ve been a source of happiness and an escape during challenging times, showcasing the incredible magic they can bring into our lives.

Average Keyboard Guy showcases the String & Orchestra sounds on a modern digital keyboard
In ‘Average Keyboard Guy’, we dive into the intricacies of various digital pianos and keyboards, exploring their unique features and capabilities.
My aim is to share my insights on what makes each model stand out, encouraging you to discover and experiment with me.
It’s about embracing the joy of exploration and the endless possibilities these instruments offer.
The series will feature a blend of tutorials, demonstrations, and insider tips, peppered with discoveries that even the manuals don’t reveal.
Adopting a conversational and exploratory approach, we’ll steer clear of scripted content, focusing instead on the genuine fun and spontaneity of musical discovery.

HI,
I watched one about the string sounds on the sx 700 – 900.
I found it helpful and even remembered how to find the right knobs when I sat down at my keyboard.
I shall watch others.
Thanks Chris
Jill
I’ve watched many e-pianos You Tube pieces to help me get to grips with my SX-700 that I purchased from you at the back end of last year(2023), and found them to be very helpful, especially as having subscribed to your channel I can
keep replaying bits if I didn’t quite get it the first time. That’s not a reflection on what you put on there, or the way you explain it, but the fact that I’m an old git who doesn’t catch on so quick with modern technology as, for example, my grandchildren do. I’ve also subsribed now to “Average keyboard guy”, which is also excellent and I’ve already learned stuff from “Keyboard strings”.
One last thing – I’m absolutely loving my SX-700, so thank you for your recommendation and excellent service.
