The Vintage Vibe Piano is voiced for a strong fundamental tone under a light touch, with overtones present
upon heavier playing. These characteristics may be more pronounced by a tube amplifier as opposed to a
solid state model. The technicians at Vintage Vibe prefer and voice all pianos with tube amplification and
reccomend the Fender Hot Rod series amplifiers. However, as each player has individual tastes, it is recom-
mended to try your piano through a variety of amplifiers to arrive at your desired tone.
note
: To avoid ground loops between an Active Model piano and an amplifier, always try and plug both
into the same outlet.
or both to one stereo amplifier. For monaural use, connection to OUTPUT LEFT is recommended, but either
