Gear For Gigs

For gigging keyboards, the most important aspects are: the sound quality, how comfortable/easy it is to use, the build quality and how portable it is

Even the best keyboard in the work will sound terrible on a bad speaker. You want a speaker that can be loud, but also has a high level of clarity

These can definitely make a big difference to your overall comfort and how well you will be able to play the keyboard. Ideally you need a pedal that won’t slide forward, a stand that wont shake and a chair that is adjustable in height and very stable

Many performance opportunities wont have power that you can use. So it important for musicians to understand how to power their own gear
