I was at a Costco-like store last night, and a few Yamaha keyboards were on display.
I am quite amazed at how 200-500 dollar keyboards sound, these days (at least to my neophyte ears) and I spent a couple of minutes noodling around the keyboard.
I hit the last two keys at right-end of the 88-key model (DGX-530), and all I could hear from the on-board speakers was click-click. I should mention that there was a slight amount of background noise in the store.
Back home I looked it up and found that the frequency I was somehow missing hearing is around 4500 Hz.
Could that be possible?
I know I have some congenital hearing loss, and haven' t bothered to have it checked in a while, but, that is a pretty low threshold, here.
Puzzled.
