Kurzweil SP1 Stage Piano with 88 weighted keys - *SOLD* £229 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

 

I bought this two years ago when I was getting back into keyboards after a very long break. As a user-friendly beginner's stage piano it was hard to beat; it sounds great and it's designed to be very intuitive to use ... it is really simple and obvious how to layer and modify sounds while you are playing, key modification is instantly accessible without having to go into a menu system, and other keyboards can be attached as required as you develop.

 

 

Although described everywhere as a stage piano, it is also a very competent organ and string machine, and a reasonable synth.

 

 

The gigbag (wheels at one end for ease of movement) is in grubby condition and needs a good brushing but is undamaged.

 

 

The item is far too large & heavy for me to consider posting it, so please don't ask. It can either be collected from Harrow HA1 or we can meet somewhere not too far from Harrow for a handover.

 

 

 

 

Listed on eBay with a start price of £249, I've put it here at discount in case any BC types fancy it.

A lightweight with great sounds

 

The Kurzweil SP1 is a stylish stage piano with a weighted 88-key hammer action keyboard and very user-friendly controls. It offers a choice of 16 tones, including a German D Artis Grand, electric pianos from the Kurzweil Forte SE, strings, woodwinds and brass from the Kurzweil PC-3. The SP1 features four individually adjustable effects (reverb, chorus, tremolo, delay) and a 3-band master EQ. It is possible to layer up to four sounds on top of each other, and there is also a split function. The high polyphony of 256 voices is high enough so that even when two people are playing the instrument at high speed, no fading note is swallowed. The low weight of just 12 kg makes the Kurzweil an ideal companion for your performance or for transporting to lessons.

 

Connections

 

In addition to the input for the power supply, there is a connection for a volume pedal and the included sustain pedal. Stereo outputs connect the instrument to a mixing console, audio interface or home stereo system. The stereo input is intended for connecting a smartphone or CD player, for example, and integrating the music from it into the exercises. The headphone output allows undisturbed playing and practising at any time of the day or night. Via the USB port, the SP1 can be connected to a computer to function as a master keyboard with music software (DAW). The MIDI inputs and outputs allow interaction with other MIDI equipment such as a sound expander or sequencer.

Someone just placed a bid on my eBay auction so this is - effectively - gone.
