Elevate your sound to new heights with the Yamaha RA-50, a vintage-inspired gem that brings a touch of retro flair to modern performance. Designed for keyboardists who crave a distinct and authentic sound, this amplifier delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with its powerful 50-watt output. Hailing from the mid-70s, the RA-50 combines classic aesthetics with innovative functionality, making it a standout choice for both stage and studio settings.

The Yamaha RA-50 is more than just an amplifier; it's a tool for sonic exploration. Its most unique feature is the rotating central tweeter, often referred to as a 'Leslie speaker,' which provides a dynamic and immersive audio experience. This rotating mechanism allows you to adjust the speed of rotation, giving you complete control over the swirling, atmospheric soundscapes that define your music. Mounted on wheels and framed by two chrome pipes, the RA-50 can be easily maneuvered and adjusted for optimal performance, whether you're practicing at home or playing live gigs.

Perfect for organ players and beloved by Fender Rhodes enthusiasts, the RA-50 is a testament to Yamaha's enduring commitment to quality and innovation. Whether you're crafting vintage rock anthems or exploring new sonic territories, the RA-50 is your reliable companion in bringing music to life.

Sweet, Warm, Amazing

This amp is perfect for playing at home. It looks awesome in the livingroom and it sounds great at low volume. The advantage of the weird foam speakers is that you don't need to get loud to make it sound warm and lush. Actually, this amp is not made to go loud at all. The foam speakers are too fragile for that. And then.... the rotating speaker.... like a lesley. It is beyond amazing.... Like the best chorus you have ever heard. Please do use a seperate EQ to add mids, because the amp it built for keys...
