SDP-2 Stage Piano by Gear4music + Stand, Pedal and Headphones

Product Information

My personal favorite instrument is usually the string section since I enjoy layering it with the piano and playing ballads or movie theme songs. For me, the term ‘stage piano’ could also be defined as ‘portable’ or ‘put-where-you-want’ piano. This is because you can place this anywhere you want in the home and it won’t be a problem to move and assemble. Even if you wanted to constantly move it around the house every few weeks you can do so. Unlike a really heavy acoustic piano that you usually need two removal people to help get it into the house, let alone consider having it upstairs in your own bedroom – a stage piano is easier because it doesn’t weigh a great deal. These features are similar to those of an arranger keyboard, and if they interest you then so will our guide to arranger and workstation keyboards.

You also receive 7 more voices in addition to the anticipated grand piano voice, which range from electric piano to organ. However, the common myth about "stage pianos" is that you should only get one if you perform in a band.

SDP-2 Stage Piano by Gear4music + Complete Pack Overview

The greatest elements of the tone can strike out and project across the room without you having to open a lid. Home and Away - Play On Stage Or At Home The hall and church reverbs add a lot more space to your piano, simulating a large concert space, whilst the room reverb creates a more intimate sound, making the piano feel like it’s in a smaller performance space. The final two reverb settings are delays; this is useful if you play in electronic ensembles. KEY WEIGHTED ACTION– Digital Stage Piano with adjustable reverb and chorus. Perfect for any level of player – from beginner to experienced performer. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. You also have the full 88 keys that you would expect to find on an acoustic piano, and the overall touch and feel is very authentic and accurate. The 32 note polyphony is always more than enough, which means that you can play a total of 32 notes at the same time before it stops you playing any more. And yes, if you are wondering how on earth you’d ever play that many notes at the same time – well it essentially comes down to the sustain pedal. If you are holding a lot of notes and paying an arpeggio up the piano, then it is possible to exceed 32 notes – but very rare and unlikely. Features

It is possible to play more than 32 notes if you are holding a lot of notes and playing an arpeggio up the piano, however this is extremely uncommon and improbable. Some More Information Anyway, so onto the sound – it’s great. It’s rich, earthy in the bass, but also bright and breezy at the top end of the pitch. The small speakers to a great job of projecting the sound even though they look like they should do a poor job. I often find that these types of digital pianos do a better job with the sound when compared to a more closed piano because they let the sound hit you right in the face. You don’t have to open a lid to allow all the best parts of the tone to strike out and project across the room.These tones allow for a wide range of musical styles to be played on the SDP-2, which is great for beginners looking to play around with different styles. Additionally, there is a chorus and reverb effect that produces a quality sound not unlike those found in live venues. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

Another important feature for beginners is to have a full range of keys. The SDP-2 comes with an 88-key design, allowing beginners to come to grips with a full keyboard from the offset.
