Kurzweil - CUP-P1 WH White

The Kurzweil CUP-P1 WH White piano is designed for musicians looking for a complete instrument with a contemporary look. Its 88-note, fully weighted keyboard uses a 4-zone graduated action for a response close to that of an acoustic piano. The textured surfaces of the keys enhance playing sensations and control of nuances. Its white colour adds a modern touch to any interior.

The KORE 2.1 sound bank includes samples of grand pianos, organs, strings and several instruments from professional Kurzweil models. The 256-voice polyphony lets you play complex passages with greater fluidity and naturalness. Split, layer and duo functions let you quickly adapt the keyboard to different uses, from technical work to 4-handed playing. Built-in effects like reverb, chorus and EQ make it easy to adjust the sound.

The piano has a 30 W stereo system with 4 speakers for clear, balanced sound. Bluetooth audio and MIDI connectivity lets you play along with music applications or stream music directly from a mobile device. USB audio/MIDI makes it easy to record and communicate with a computer. There's also an internal recorder and a range of backing rhythms to enhance work sessions.

The cabinet comes with a full pedalboard with progressive sustain, sostenuto and soft pedal, so you can get back to the habits of a classical piano. The controls are easy to use, thanks to a clear LCD screen and an intuitive layout of the main functions. Two headphone outputs mean you can practice discreetly, even with just the two of you. This model is just as suitable for beginners as it is for pianists looking for an elegant instrument for the home.
