Unboxing the Roland Fantom G8

Raw footage of my first ten minutes with the Roland Fantom G8. The background music at the start is the demo song loaded when the keyboard is first turned on.

Power on is 4 minutes in. The first sound that comes out is a bit unusual. I would have expected a piano like the A90EX this replaced.

I'm learning how to use this thing as you watch, sorry it's so boring, but since there is so little other info on the new Fantom G, I thought others might be interested in the learning curve.

The box was shipped via UPS Ground from Nevada to Californa (one day total shipping time). The shipping weight was 87.90 pounds (39.87 kg).

@jxue007 No, it is Doogie Howser, M.D. I'm older than Neil Patrick Harris. I've never seen the show you mention.
