UTILIZATION

The touch keyboard is nice and similar to that of a clavinova but surely I was far from being comparable to a real piano
Configuration, without notice, except the very simple function for which registration will require some tinkering before you understand everything.
MIDI setup very effective for this type of instrument: there are a lot of parameters that can be changed, as the channel, synch.
No manual for me: the piano I bought used and the former owner no longer had it.

I bought it because it was a great opportunity and an amazing price.
I was looking for a master keyboard with touch heavy and I fell on this occasion, it is a pretty sight and sounds great

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite nice for this son of a piano.
The speakers are integrated and more, as there are openings in the tray of the tail, the sound changes slightly when the tray is open so it mimics a real grand piano

OVERALL OPINION

I have this piano since yesterday, I'm happy because it's really beautiful.
Before buying it I had a Clavinova CLP 360 and I find that the GP5 to Be Akai is a great digital piano.
The piano is wood lacquer, black in my case, and it is very suitable to find its place in a salon.
the only thing I wish they had the keys are made of wood
