i wish i could be this good... i have been playing electone for so long but now i stopped for 3 years. watching this amazing video makes me want to go back and continue it again :(
This is DEFINITELY Grade 3-2. I read well and have been playing Hammond Organs and lately Electones for many years. I have lots of Electone Grade 5-3 Books and this is much more difficult, the right and left hand work could pass for Grade 5-3 but by adding that remarkable pedal work he makes the right & left hand coordination harder. Full marks I'd say for dexterity alone.
trust me it s not grade 5 or 4 but i would say ...3 or 2 !! i m myself playing 5-3 even the harders song of 5-3 is easy compared to beat on fire !! this guy is amazing he is my HERO !
The suggested retail price of this model Electone STAGEA ELS-01C is ¥1,030,000. About USD10,000. That's why I quit playing when I turned 18. Unless you play electone for living, it is such an expensive hobby to keep up with. Becoming an electone teacher, you would need a decent number of people to teach. Because of the costly instrument and lessons in general, not as many people play as before. That's why I believe, Yamaha went abroad to find a new market place targeting wealthy people.
interesting sounds and great performance. I dont see why these things cost so much when you could get a similar result with a PC running appropriate and some midi controllers. This type of organ music lacks soul. The B3 is much more compelling. The sheer number of different preset sounds is killing electronic music.
