« Very good keyboard »

Published on 09/09/11 at 16:23
Value For Money : Excellent
88 weighted keys.
4 sounds, including two secret ones.
1 acoustic piano sound, 1 electric piano sound, 1 Fender Rhodes sound, and 1 sinus wave.
To get the superb Rhodes, you need to switch on the piano while pressing the highest-pitched note.
For the other sound, you need to follow the exact same procedure but pressing an E.
I'll let you discover the mystery by yourselves.
It doesn't have too many sounds, but they are all excellent.

UTILIZATION

The keyboard is very nice. It's a truly great piano.
All connections are on the left of the piano.
Unfortunately, all labels are written black on black.
So, in concert, the sound engineer can't read a thing and you need a pocket lamp to make connections.
MIDI is not very straightforward.

SOUNDS

The acoustic piano sound is very realistic, it has a very good stereo reproduction.
It's ideal to play jazz and I have done some excellent recordings in the studio with the P-30.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for quite a few years and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I also have two clavinova clp511 and cvp305 and the sound of the Technics piano compares very well.
You can find it secondhand for about $500 and it's an excellent value for money.
