SDP-2 Stage Piano by Gear4music

Product Information

You enter your local piano shop and you’re confronted with lots of digital pianos with different styles, colours, shapes and sizes. Some have a few buttons (gadgets) and some hundreds of buttons, flashing lights and LCD screens…

A stage piano is simpler to move because it weighs less than an extremely heavy acoustic piano, which typically requires two removal men to help get it into the house, much alone consider putting it upstairs in your own bedroom. How Does it Feel? Another impressive feature is the ease of connectivity between the piano and all your devices. This keyboard features Digital Piano Controller Application which allows you to connect the piano with to an iPhone or iPad. There are lots of compatible applications with this keyboard which enables you to write, record, and sample the music for any genre you’re working in. They say “No, no, no, the Roland digital piano is better than the Yamaha, and far better than the Kawai”. They then sit down and play the Yamaha, and then the Roland and convince you that the Roland would be far better for you than the Yamaha and the Kawai. What’s more, the 88-keys are weighted, which helps to give the touch and feel of an acoustic piano. Weighted keys are great for beginners, as it means you can feel how weighted keys make a difference, including pressing hard on higher registers and softer on lower registers. Many thanks for your article ‘digital pianos – which brand should I buy?’. I have carefully read the article and it was really useful to get an insight of the quality and prices of different brand of digital pianos.

SDP-2 Stage Piano by Gear4music + Complete Pack Overview

I am tied up on another project for a while and very limited in my time. I promise to do my due diligence: This is a must for beginners, as being able to take your keyboard to school, lessons, and practice is a huge benefit – nothing puts you off from learning more than needing to humph around a heavy keyboard! I greatly appreciated this article about choosing a digital piano. You clearly know this market inside out. The YDP-S52 Digital Piano comes fitted with three pedals, from right to left, the sustaining pedal, the sostenuto pedal, and the soft pedal. This elegant control surface will give you all the astonishing effects of the real thing. This digital piano is a great buy if you’re beginner. If the piano instructor is not available, you can always take advantage of the included lesson plans. The Skoove (online piano instruction service) was designed to help you be familiar with the functionality of the instrument, and be able to use the piano to its full capacity.

I liked the article. I thought it was very honest. You obviously know your stuff, so an honest approach will always be preferred by readers, controversial or not. When the time comes to go on-stage, the SDP-2 is ready for that too. The RCA outputs let you plug into mixers and amplifiers. Their stereo-output also means in a live setup, you can control panning, so you can get the exact stage sound you want. In addition, when you use the USB to Host output, you can use the SDP-2 as a MIDI controller. So if you do find yourself in the studio – you can hold your own. Everything You Need The feel of a keyboard defines your playing experience. Which is exactly why the SDP-2 has a weighted action. That means, transitioning between acoustic pianos and this keyboard is super easy. In addition, the action is designed to have a consistent feel throughout the full length of each key. That means when you’re playing at speed - you’re still in control. Many thanks for your excellent digital piano guide, an impressive amount of information in laymans terms. Two summers ago I bought a digital piano to replace my old upright which had succumbed to moth in a terminal way! It seemed the best solution given our itinerant lifestyle. I went to THE piano shop in Norwich and tried a few Clavinovas before the salesman steered me towards the Kawais and proceeded to sell hard. Having recently read your online book “Digital Piano Buyer’s Guide”, which was extremely helpful and informative, I now understand why!Still I would go for the Yamaha though. The touch is superb (close your eyes and you could well be playing an acoustic piano). The sound on the Yamaha has the edge over Kawai. Another impressive feature of this digital piano is the speaker system which comes with two 20 watts amplifiers and two oval shaped speakers measuring 12cm by 6cm. Hence providing you with a sound system that lives up to your requirements when you’re talking quality. Advice: Kurzweil offer a nice range of digital pianos, stage pianos and keyboards. Their student model, M110, is really good value, and their mid-range model, MP120, has a really authentic sound. Their multi-functional piano, MP15, competes well against more expensive pianos from other makes. Kurzweil’s grand piano CGP220W and top of the line home piano CUP320 are beauties… their keys are wood and feel firm and solid – you’d think you were playing on a real grand piano.

EIGHT DIFFERENT VOICES– Experiment with eight different, high-quality voices including both grand piano and electric piano tones, organ, vibraphone and harpsichord. You’ll be able to find the sound you need for any type of music. 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. It’s reassuring to know that there are still people out there who want part with their knowledge to get others to appreciate music and playing whether by piano or any other musical instrument. Graham, thank you for your piano information. I studied your “which digital piano”& set my heart on a Yamaha DGX 660, Clavinovas are out of my price range. I tried that & Casio Privia at Cookes of Norwich but when shown a Kawai CL37, which you didn’t think too highly of, I fell in love with it’s sound, very light touch , silent but weighted action & only 11 inches deep. You need to make sure that the digital piano has a weighted action because there are some digitals out there that have keys weighted the same as a keyboard – for example the Roland EP760.This digital piano has 20 built-in voice like electric piano, grand piano, and drawbar organ. Also, it allows you to split and even layer two voices at the same time. I’m sure for most people, the important factors would be the price, how realistic the sound and how it feels. For me the feel would have to be just right for me to consider a digital piano over a real one. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty I’ve also done a score sheet for each brand so you can see how each compares. The overall rating is an average of each score. The most important scores are for touch, sound, and value for money, Graham Howard

The piano also comes with four reverbs with the dual layer function that adds flexibility when changing effects. 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. 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.
