What equipment I need for to play this musical instrument?

You need Yamaha tone generator because this cannot generate it's own sound. The best match is Yamaha vl70m but unfortunately this is no longer produced. You might browse for newer version. Or it can Olson connected to Yamaha keyboard equipped with midi connection.

Other than speakers/headphones, you need a sound generator. I use the Roland Sound Canvas - found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PAR7IA nice and portable with a good sound.

There are a number of synthesizers that work well with the Yamaha WX5. All require "wind-controller" type patches (sounds like clarinet, flute, guitar, sax, etc.) that respond to breath control and pitch bend. The primary creator of wind-controller patches is Matt Traum at www.patchmanmusic.com . I have played/performed with both the WX5 and Akai EWI4000s for 6+ years...it's great fun and you can truly emulate hundreds of instruments and create your own sounds, as well.

It is a midi trigger. A rack mounted synthisizer, keyboard/synth with midi plugs make the tone. Then if you want to hear it.. you need an amplified speaker. These items can be found for $200, or as much as you have available..electric is expensive. It is an toy for me ..as i play saxophone..lt can and is fun. I use it with my Yamaha qy100 and build songs to play along with. Yamaha vl70 is the "best" as it uses wx cord that eliminates power cord.. but $600+ used! In my opinion a real horn is a better start.

I don't know exactly what your looking for when you say professionally set up; but what I will tell you is that you're going to need to purchase some nessary items. You will need to buy yourself a bass gutiar strap, a bass/gutiar tuner and the special Epiphone bass Rumblekat case; trust me, it is worth the investment. Get yourself a good leather strap and a clip on tuner so you can tune on the fly. If you want to make adjustments to how your bridge and pick-ups are set, that's completely up to you and your style of play. Enjoy your Rumblekat.

It depends on what you already have. You'd need two 1/4" instrument cables as well as a standard 9v DC center negative power supply (common with the majority of guitar pedals on the market). That's presuming you have a pickup or similar on the cello already.

Your best bet is to get a small 'bedroom amp" such as the Fender Frontman 10 (It's a very nice inexpensive amplifier). You will also need an instrument cable (to plug the guitar into the amp). A guitar tuner such as a Snark is alway good to have on hand as well as a package of picks. Other than that a guitar strap and perhaps a gig bag to store it in are worthwhile as well.

This is a great buy. Bought one for my 5 year old and it plays great. I would recommend an amp and guitar cord(cable). You COULD also/instead buy a multiFX pedal that has a headphones out jack (if noise in the house is going to be a problem). Digitech makes some good multiFX pedals that have distortions, chorus, wahwah, etc preprogrammed. This is the setup I have for my kids for practicing in the house. You will still need a guitar cord(cable) to plug into the pedal and possibly earphones that have a longer cord on them. Just a suggestion.

You can go straight to a guitar amp or mixing board. Sounds great but probably won't work for very long.Mine died after 3 or four months.

If it connects via a 1/4" or 1/8" stereo jack then you will need a audio interface with those connections. The komplete audio 6 has everything you would need. And it's a native instruments interface

I don't have this amp (yet) but I can tell you that you will need a microphone with a "low Z" or low-impedance cable. The mic input is three prong female so you will need a mic with a low impedance cable which will have a three prong male end to plug into the amp and a female end that connects to the mic. I recommend a Shure SM58 or SM57 for vocals. The instrument input is for a typical "guitar" cable with 1/4 inch male ends. Also, I don't think the 8" speaker in this amp is big enough for bar use unless it's a really small bar and even then the amp would have to be placed at ear level. This is the only amp I've ever seen that has inputs for both vocals and acoustic instrument (low and high impedance) so I'm buying it just for that feature. Just make sure that your acoustic instrument has an output for guitar cable or otherwise you will need 2 mics, one for vocals (SM58) and one for guitar (SM57). I hope that helps. Sam (DOG TOY)

The amp was desigmed with the electric guitar in mind, but will amplify any instrument that has a built it pickup. you could use a microphone to feed the amp but you would have to deal with possible feedback depending on location of amp and mic.

A PA system is the best choice, but a bass amp will work. You need a 1/4 plug to go into the jack input.

You need to connect the pickup to a preamp. Fishman or LR Baggs make them for acoustic musical instruments. LR Baggs is more expensive, but probably higher quality.

Yes, you need an amplifier. You will also need a cord to plug the guitar into the amp, the guitar does not come with that. Most amps don't have headphone jacks but some small practice amps come with headphone jacks built in. The VOX Pathfinder is cheap and has a headphone jack. NOTE: you don't need an amplifier or cord to play RockSmith, RockSmith comes with a cord and plays through the TV.

no, I checked on the peavey site to answer it for you, it is for acoustic, electric, or bass guitar. you would need a keyboard amp. did you want something for guitar and keyboard? you would probably need a bass amp if that's the case, but guitars don't sound that good through them, and they keyboard loses some of the high/treble sound through bass amps, I used one for my guitar and keyboard years ago, both didn't sound that good. depending on what you need it for, you should get 2 smaller amps, this thing is very very loud, I would get the larger amp of the one you use more, keyboard or guitar. if it's for live shows, they can mic the amp anyway, so technically you could have a really small amp, but with a mic and p.a. system or whatever, it would be as loud as all the other instruments

First of all, you do need a amp or receiver, and make sure that the equipment has a turntable jack for it, or you can't use it. Second, you do need a good speakers system. And good speakers wires too.

cables needed are a microphone cable, midi cable, and a output cable to your amp or p.a. system (just a instrument cord 1/4 jacks). there is an extra output jack for stereo, if you like to use.

you will need an amp/receiver, make sure that the model you elect will accommodate a turntable or you will need a phono-preamp as well.

Yes. You can play it without an amp, but it will be very quiet and not have the typical electric guitar sound. My husband plays his electric guitars acoustically often because it's quieter. You will probably want picks, a strap, a 1/4 inch to 1/4 inch cable, and possibly a case. We got soft cases for our kids' guitars. If you have an iPad, you can get the Garageband app and an adapter and plug into your iPad and play/record. Garageband is pretty neat as it has different amp and pedal options for different sounds.
