Operating the device
The Fazley FKB-180 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-180 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-180.
Preparation
Practical information before playing
- If two people wish to play at the same time without using the built-in speakers, a
headphone splitter (sold separately) should be connected to the headphone socket so that
two pairs of headphones can be used.
- Ensure that the power adapter cable isn’t taut and doesn't get tangled, bent too
excessively or damaged by sharp edges.
Keyboard positioning
It's important to place the FKB-180 on a stable surface at the correct height to ensure a
comfortable playing experience without causing any physical discomfort.
Fazley recommends 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 position that should be used when sitting
behind a desk and working with a computer. A keyboard like the FKB-180 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
