I own the ridiculously small Bose Soundlink Mini, which I sometimes use when I give English language lessons. Its deep bass is miraculous.
Yesterday I connected it to my Yamaha MoXF and tried if it is completely useless for home use amplification: it is NOT.
As you see in the video, it is barely bigger than the MoXF display and you can use it for piano amplification for yourself, I didn't hear any distortion. Incredible speaker. The piece I played is "A foggy day".

Nice job, and certainly impressive sound from such a tiny speaker!

Gotta love the Bose systems.

Gotta love both you and the Bose.

I would consider buying this for my PA3x or the new Casio piano I'm thinking about buying. The major music stores don't carry this. Has anyone else tried it on their keyboard? I'm not sure it would be loud enough for a small cocktail party, but would I get a full range, true keyboard sound if I were to use it just for practicing (tired of using headphones)?

Or can anyone recommend a very small amp, that doesn't "color" the sound, I can use for practicing?

.

For its size it is absolutely amazing, but using it for a small cocktail party is surely out of question. It produces a very good sound on a sufficient level if you play for yourself with no other people talking in the room.
For small parties I can recommend the Bose Sounddock Portable, which is bigger, but still weighs 5 pounds only. You find these Bose products in consumer electronic markets, not in music stores.
For neutral, non-colored sound the best choice would be a studio monitor such as the small Genelec 6010 or 8010 (expensive).

Hi Rolf:

I couldn't wait for you to get past Gershwin's long intro and dive into the "meat and potatoes" of "Foggy Day"... and I was not disappointed. Bravo! You are probably right about the speakers not being suited for gigs with crowds but it sure sounded good on your recording.

Mark,

I purchased a very simple and basic Yamaha NK-31 electric piano ( second hand mind you) which sounded like total crap when I received it. I linked it up to my simple and very cheap
Creative T10 (computer) speaker set, and behold: a true piano sound that is a delight to listen to. Alternatively there is the T20 and even T40 for prices way below this Bose monitor.
The T10 ( see Amazon.com) are very compact and look great, but sound truly impressive and absolutely fit the bill for indoor practising imho.

I heard this little Harmon Kardon bluetooth speaker at my gig today very impressive... looks like 10" or 12" ? the back goes in and out pumping nice bass,...amazing!
