Product Description
An instrument has been created that truly delivers the joy of playing the piano to anyone who has ever dreamed of learning to play. Authentic tones -- carefully-sampled from a concert grand piano -- mate with an all-new naturally-scaled hammer action to provide for a most realistic and satisfying musical experience. An advanced lesson system featuring a remarkable dual-color Key-Lighting keyboard provides a powerful yet easy-to-use teaching tool that will help make your dreams of piano proficiency come true. The AL-100R is a totally new concept in digital pianos that will bring musical enjoyment to your home for many years to come. The AL-100R provides you with 64-notes of polyphony to easily accommodate sustained passages and complex arrangements.

Large Backlit LCD (Musical Information System) -- Easy-to-read display panel shows current piano setup, fingerings, chords, dynamics, etc., providing a wealth of information about the keyboard's many functions.
Song Controller -- Just like the controls of a CD player, play/pause, stop, rewind and fast-forward provide you with control of the internal music library or MIDI file on floppy disk.
Music Library -- For practice or simply for your listening enjoyment, 80 tunes are provided. An accompanying song book is also dedicated.
Advanced Lesson System -- Select the lesson that matches your skill level and play along with either music library tunes or those imported from a floppy disk, advancing at your own pace.
3-Step Lesson -- This easy-to-follow feature can be used with any arrangement or lesson part.
Step1... Master the timing of melody. Simply press any key and the correct melody will play. Step 1 allows you to first concentrate on the tune's timing before moving on to the next level.
Step 2... Play at your own pace. Melody play waits for you to press the correct key before continuing on. This allows you to practice playing the correct notes at your own pace.
Step 3... Play at the preset tempo. This is the step where you master real keyboard play. Now the keys light and the melody plays at normal speed without waiting. Take center stage with your virtuous piano performance.
Lesson Part Selection -- Practice that which you need most -- right hand, left hand or both as the "Lesson Part."
