Talking Owner`s Manuals The USA`s Leader in Self-teaching, Instructional Products and Accessories for CASIO Keyboards Since 1989 Established 1989, in Costa Mesa, California as a full time endeavor, Talking Owner`s Manuals founders are avid portable musical keyboard fanatics. Both founders, Tom Piggott (originally from Massachusetts), and Dan Hakala (from Michigan) purchased their first portable keyboards in 1963. Since then, they have played, taught, arranged, written about, created music curriculums and textbooks, designed sounds and panel layouts, modified, amplified, composed with, performed and recorded with many famous artists on major record labels and in concert, marketed and promoted the use of these fantastic electronic keyboard music making machines. Collectively they have owned over 300 varied models of acoustic and electric pianos, organs, synthesizers, bass keyboard units, analog and digital keyboards and pianos. The musically trained college-grad founders have played on many LPs, CDs, TV performances, even with symphony orchestras, show and club groups and stage bands internationally. They have conducted seminars about electronic keyboards at dozens of universities and have been employees or consultants to over 15 worldwide keyboard manufacturing companies since they began working for ARP synthesizers, a pioneer of music synthesizers in 1973. They have provided services to many manufacturers, and have "settled in" providing extensive third party support for CASIO keyboards. The company specializes in the musical education business, creating instructional materials and products for CASIO keyboard hobbyists - both amateurs and professionals. Talking Owner`s Manuals has created over 100 "talking" (non-printed) manuals for music products since its inception.
