Where to buy a MIDI keyboard ??
Where to buy a simple USB MIDI keyboard in PP ? can't find anything apart music shops with guitars and amps and master keyboards for live gigs, all i need is a small 2 octaves MIDI keyboard, no matter the brand.
I would also like to play with some synths but is there at least one shop selling Virus TI and similars in PP ?

I have only seen it from the outside, but the Yamaha store on Russian Blvd. looks pretty nice. Maybe they have what you need.
Madison Music on Monivong probably has some, I think I've seen used ones there. I've had good and bad experiences there. Some, but not all, of the employees are a little crooked and like to quote outrageous prices. And I brought an amp in one time, just purchased elsewhere, to have a transformer put on it, and the dude kneeled there with the amp cord only half in the socket making a big dumb show of it being broken so I could pay him to fix it for me but I'd just been testing it minutes before and we could see what he was doing so my friend just walked over to him and pushed it into the jack. The manager or owner (I'm not sure which, but the store is part of the Thea Heng group + school) was cool the time I talked to him and was pretty straight up about how things get priced and quality etc. He just needs to get rid of a few assholes on his staff.

i'm searching also on BongThom and other khmer web sites, all i can find are the Yamaha PSR keyboards or Yamaha electric pianos, nothing else.
yes, there's a Yamaha showroom but i guess it's very expensive, Yamaha also doesnt sell any cheap 2-3 octaves mute keyboards, i need a shop selling Korg, Edirol, or Alesis ... fuck it .. on Amazon there's even an AKAI micro keyboard for 49$ !
has anyone dared to order from Amazon and shipping to cambo ?

Bangkok's not far away, especially if your'e regular customer of nice axx Asia Air.
going to BKK for a few days and back just to buy a lackluster 100$ keyboard is a bit out of the budget i had in mind, i can't believe there's no other options in PP, are they all using only Yamaha keyboards in cambo ??
i'll rather risk buying on amazon with DHL shipping, if they allow it.

That could be expensive too due to all the added costs with insurance and customs.

Your best bet would be to contact the video companies who produce the vids for people like Preap Sovath, get in touch with the musos, and go from there.
I agree with the recommendation to go to Yamaha. Also try the Simphony (sic) music school, St. 51

There are lots and lots of music stores. You need to go over to the areas where they are clustered and check each one. Yamaha has some MIDI keyboard models that start at $99.99 in the USA, but that showroom doesn't seem likely to be carrying them along with grand pianos. Maybe, but I think you're more likely to see the Yamaha MIDI models that run several thousand dollars there. Can't say from experience though.
Aside from Madison (who I think have some MIDI stuff in their used selection, I know they have other computer interface stuff), you need to do what the rest of us do when hunting down gear: go into every one of those hole-in-the-wall music stores that are clustered together in a few areas, like the street parallel to Monivong, and just check each one. Most of them will disappoint you either on the selection or on the price or both, but check enough of them and you'll probably find something that does the trick gathering dust in one of them. It took me 2 weeks to find an acceptable bass amp at an acceptable price, looking in at least one place every day and often several, and I'm not a crazy pro-gear audio guy or anything, I was just looking for something "good enough" at a fair price.
Also: somebody was selling a MIDI keyboard on here recently I think, look at the music equipment for sale posts going back over the last two weeks.
Oh, and Leng Pleng ... You can place a free ad on Leng Pleng that will go out to everybody on the mailing list, just do one for Want to Buy MIDI keyboard and explain what you want. I think most musicians are on that list. Just Google Leng Pleng and you'll find it.

Hey good luck, this place could use a proper DJ/Midi/Computer music store, plenty of iOne's and fancy looking camerashops, but music stores seem like something out of the 70's here, the few I have seen from the inside. Bangkok has a lot of small stores around town full of all the latest music tech.
i think it's because there's no demand from khmers and no critical mass in general and the gear is too expensive anyway, synths in particular become obsolete pretty quick.
and unlike other countries here the people is really into local music, no wonder they only sell cheap Yamaha PSR with crap sounds.

just about everything i've seen has been, when i asked the person using it, bought in thailand. make a holiday of it, enjoy bangkok for a couple of days, and go with a list of stuff you need. get your monies worth from the ticket.
also possibly find someone else going, give them the address of a store and the product (you could call the shop and likely work it all out by phone/email beforehand) and a $20 bill in "thanks" on top of what it costs (still probably cheaper than shipping it from Amazon).

that's why i'm going in the stores and ask them if i can "order" some gear, maybe it takes weeks or even a month but at least you get exactly the model you need, the camera stores in Monivong do it and i guess they order stuff from BKK, i was searching for a Ring Flash and they said they can have it in two weeks.OrangeDragon wrote:just about everything i've seen has been, when i asked the person using it, bought in thailand. make a holiday of it, enjoy bangkok for a couple of days, and go with a list of stuff you need. get your monies worth from the ticket.
