*I do a lot of research before I bought this keyboard. PSR-E423, PSR-S550B... Within the budget, and finally, I bought this keyboard PSR-S710 almostly five thousands. I am not rich as well actually but just want to learn more in the way of music. I am really excited when the keyboard arrived at home. Here is just a bit picture to share about it.

Original PA-300B power adapter cost RM260??? OMG!

Main Screen..

Pitch Bend and Modulation to make sound produces in variety ways...

The speakers automatically silence when headphone were plugged in.

Back side of the keyboard.

(12cm + 5cm) x 2 12w x 2 speakers.

The "two hundred something" power adapter... I'm really suspect that the price whether got 90% discount or not if really buy it (next time when this was broken or else I will try to not buy it again~ hehe T.T)... [Of course this adapter is free / include in the package]

The pedal was modified by me with some cloth cause the ordinary one was not so nice when the dust appeared on it due to a sheet of rubber-made cover on it.

The top part of the Double-X stand was also wrap by me with the cloth. Maybe is the heat makes the rubber melt and stick to my old keyboard, so with the experience I'm now doing this to try protect my new keyboard...
