Operating the device

The Fazley FKB-120 is an entry-level keyboard with touch-sensitive keys. This makes it 
perfect for beginning keyboard players who not only want to learn to play, but want to play 
with feeling because each passage can be played differently.

The FKB-120 is equipped with all of the features a beginning keyboardist needs to become 
familiar with playing the keyboard. It has a large range of sounds and accompaniments to 
choose from in lots of different music styles. 

Follow the steps and instructions below to get the best out of the FKB-120. 

Preparation

Practical information before playing

- If two people wish to play at the same time without using the built-in speakers, a 
headphone splitter should be connected to the headphone socket so that two pairs of 
headphones can be used. 
- Ensure that the power adapter cable isn't rolled up too tightly and doesn't get tangled, 
exposed to excess forces, bent too excessively or damaged by sharp edges. 

Keyboard positioning

It's important to place the FKB-120 on a stable surface at the correct height to ensure a 
comfortable playing experience without causing any physical discomfort. 
Fazley recommend investing in a good keyboard stand so that playing while standing or 
sitting can both be done in comfort.

Placing the keyboard on a table, desk or similar surface may result in an uncomfortable 
playing experience that could lead to physical discomfort. 

A good playing position can be defined as follows:
- arms should hang freely next to the sides of the body (avoid tension in the shoulders to 
create more arm height)
- forearms should be horizontal to the floor
- hands and fingers should be in the same sort of position as they naturally are when your 
arms are hanging by your side
- elbows should be pushed forwards slightly towards the keyboard so that they are not 
completely parallel to the body

The ideal playing position is very similar to the one that should be used when sitting behind 
a desk and working with a computer. A keyboard like the FKB-120 is higher than a 
computer keyboard, however, so it’s very important to make the necessary height 
adjustments. 

This playing position should be used regardless of whether you’re sitting or standing. That’s
