I have had some requests to do more videos with toy keyboards. And I have had some requests to do more ABBA songs. So here I am doing "Nina pretty ballerina" on two small-keyed Kawais. I have had the MS-20 since it was new. I bought it in 1994 and after I added a line-out to the unit it pretty much became my most used keyboard in the mid 1990's. I got the MT-510 at an outdoor second-hand sale - one of those sales where people show up with their used stuff and sell it out of their car trunks. It had been a victim of a creative kid! Both speakers were missing, all the screws were removed, and one of the keys had broken off. It was only attached by a piece of sticky tape. The price was relatively low - about 10$ - and I managed to re-attach the broken key by mealting two pieces of thin spring material into the plastic. I also found two identical speakers that could fit into the holes in the cabinet. The music is recorded in 7 tracks. The only modification I have done to the sound is that I have added a little reverb to the melody and harmonies and raised the bass and treble on the auto-accompaniment track to give a little more punch. Note the use of Kawai's One-Finger Ad-Lib.
