When I was looking for a Reface YC, I saw a YC and a CP separately listed on ebay which were being sold as 'spares or repair' where the unit powers on and the lights come on but no sound is output. Having read the relevent manuals I have discovered that if you press the lowest D (second white key from the left) and keep it pressed when turning the keyboard on you can deactivate the internal speakers, and if they have already been deactivated the same operation will reactivate them. I wonder whether some refaces have been sold at a knockdown price as non functional when they are actually fine due to the owner inadvertantly switching off the speakers? Edit - A Reface YC sold today for £125 where I suspect this might have happened.

Play better venues?

There are many places called Telegraph Hill. A telegraph hill refers to a natural elevation chosen as part of a semaphore telegraph communication system from the late eighteenth century. In this system, messages were relayed over long distances in stages, from one semaphore station to the next. In my song, Telegraph Hill serves as a metaphor for the communication between two people, illustrating how their ability to communicate has diminished over time.

My Reface YC arrived today. It's in near mint condition with the PSU & midi adaptor cable. I had a bunch of Andertons loyalty points saved up so I put them towards the yamaha reface gigbag. I had investigated other options for storing/carrying the keyboard however anything cheaper than the yamaha bag was always way too long, wide or deep. There was a fishing rod bag on aliexpress that looked like it might be suitable, but it would be a tight fit and there would have been no room for the PSU. I'm really enjoying the sounds from the YC.
