Product Description

The New Lightweight Performance Piano for the Next Century
The new SP Series Stage Pianos are the performance keyboards you've been waiting for. Well-constructed and affordable, these stage pianos have everything you need. The SP Series comes in lightweight 76- and 88-key semi-weighted action models, plus an 88-note fully weighted action model. The Stage Pianos have the award-winning Kurzweil sounds and transmit on 2 user-selectable, independent MIDI channels. Put your music on stage with this new model of performance piano from Kurzweil, the leader in sound technology.

32 programs and 32 factory setups are provided which offer a variety of splits and layered combinations with useful controller assignments. Grand Piano offers stretched and non-stretched tuned versions, and programs with different EQ. Dual-Hardness Tine Electric Piano offers soft and hard strike samples arranged in many program variations, FM Electric Piano is provided in a variety of programs. Programs based on the Ensemble Strings include selections with different EQs and envelope response. Tone Wheel Organ programs include organ with percussion, ballad organ, jazzy organ, and more.

The SP Series keyboards also offer many MIDI controller features. Two Ribbons (used instead of traditional wheels) provide flexible control. The Pitch ribbon has user programmable software "spring," allowing the pitch to jump back to center or remain at the value where the finger lifts off the surface. The Mod Ribbon also has the programmable "spring," and in addition, allows for different functions (software destinations) to be programmed for the 'up' position separately from the 'down' position.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (325 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Unpack and Play"
Sound: The piano sounds are top-notch, the strings are good, but all ensemble (I like some solo sounds), and the ballad organ is very good. The rock organ is pretty good, but not if you are looking for a B3 sound; the perc organ is not for me. The electric piano sounds are very nice, especially when cutting through the competing sounds of a band. Overall, the sound is a very good, although this is not to be confused with a dedicated organ--more a piano with some organ sounds. Feature: A single sustain pedal came with it, but a double pedal (with full sostenuto...ok, spell it however you like) is available for $30--and will worth it! The most useful features are its presets: 32 of them. Besides them, the rest of the options are darned difficult to figure out. It needs a good volume pedal; I have tried 3 so far, and none of them have worked. I am still looking for a usable volume pedal so I don't have to work the lever. The overall look is beautiful and professional. Quality: This is a solid, beautiful piano/controller. It looks, feels, and sounds professional. It seems to be rugged, because minor drops and spills haven't hurt it at all. Two years of regular use later, and I still think it looks and sounds like new. Value: At about $900, it is a great deal. It should come with some type of cover, though. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any problems, so I haven't needed to contact the company. Although if I don't find a usable volume pedal soon, I will be calling them and getting loud! The Wow Factor: There is something kool 'bout the Kurzweil name--it has cache. It looks good with my Korgs on stage, and I get lots of comments about it from musicians and non-musicians alike. It just looks "pro". Overall: I love this board, and I will have it a long time. I will supplement it with a better organ, though, This instrument would be perfect for me if 1) the organs were a little better, and 2) it was easier to program and set parameters. I have always loved Kurzweils, and wanted to own one since my cousin played one years ago. In the past they were too expensive for me, but now they are priced where most musicians can afford them. If I lost this keyboard, I would no doubt get another one as soon as the insurance paid off!

Sound: This is a great stage piano. The piano sounds are incredible, the others sounds are acceptable. Don't buy it unless you have or plan to buy a good amp. I use mine through a Peavey KB5. It lacks some sustain on the high end but that is not a problem with me and can be programmed for longer sustain if you want it. I love the fully weighted keys and the overall responsiveness. Some will disagree with me but I have owned a Steinway baby grand piano and I'll put this keyboard up with it for piano sound. Feature: Standard single pedal is OK but I bought a dual pedal which I like much better. Display is very hard to read but once you memorize the function buttons it is of less concern. Ease of Use: Very easy to modify the sound, transpose, etc. Quality: Excellent overall construction. It's a workhorse and heavy. Value: It's worth every dime. Manufacturer Support: Have not used support. The Wow Factor: I own the black one and it looks like what it is...a fantastic stage piano. I'm proud of it and I love it. The only thing better is two of them! Overall: I spent a lot of time shopping for stage piano's before buying the Kurzweil. If I ever buy another keyboard it too will be a Kurzweil.
