The Yamaha CP4 is Yamaha’s current flagship stage piano and is a very popular model among many musicians. According to Yamaha, it is the finest stage piano they have ever produced. A wide range of sound options, combined with a wooden keyboard, guarantees an optimal playing experience. With a weight of only 17.5 kg, the CP4 is also highly portable, allowing you to take this experience with you wherever you go.

Sounds in the Yamaha CP4

The Yamaha CP4 offers a broad selection of voices. The sounds are generated by an advanced tone engine. Yamaha’s Spectral Component Modelling (SCM) technology is combined with samples based on the handcrafted Yamaha concert grand pianos, such as the CFX and CFIIIS. These instruments are renowned for their beautiful tone across the entire dynamic range, and these qualities are reproduced exceptionally well in the CP4. A slightly warmer-sounding grand, such as the S6, or an electric grand piano like the CP80, can also be rendered with remarkable accuracy by this stage piano.

The CP4 offers not only piano sounds, but also harpsichord, organ, synthesiser and various string instrument sounds. Many of these come from the Motif, Yamaha’s flagship synthesiser series. In total, the piano provides 433 sounds. To complete the instrument, it is equipped with a comprehensive effects section, offering essential effects such as 11 types of reverb and 9 types of chorus.

Keyboard

This Yamaha piano features a keyboard that closely replicates the feel of a grand piano, providing an authentic and highly enjoyable playing experience. The NW-GH keyboard has a wooden core with a synthetic ivory top layer, giving the player excellent grip on the keys. As with an acoustic grand piano, the hammer weights are graded: keys in the lower register feel heavier, while keys in the upper registers feel lighter.

Transport

As mentioned earlier, the CP4 is very easy to transport. This portability, together with its extensive sound possibilities and excellent playability, makes it the ideal piano for travelling and performing musicians. In addition to its elegant design, the piano is built extremely robustly, ensuring excellent durability. With the optional carrying bag, transport becomes even easier.

Connections

Once set up on stage, the CP4 proves to be extremely practical. It features balanced XLR outputs, ensuring the highest possible sound quality.

Innovative, stylish and easy to use. Three words that describe this brand-new Studiologic Numa X. This beautiful, compact stage piano from Studiologic is new on the market. A revolution for the pianist. High-quality functions, sounds and effects, designed and organised in an amazingly intuitive and effective way. All this to offer the pianist an excellent instrument. This specific model, the Studiologic Numa X Piano GT, is the absolute flagship of a series of three models. The keyboard consists of 88 weighted keys with a wooden core, guaranteeing optimal touch control.

Sound

A powerful new sound engine provides clear, realistic sounds. The sound engine consists of a mix of sampling, waveform generation and physical modelling. The Numa X contains more than 200 different sounds, divided across 8 Sound Banks. Various acoustic pianos, electric pianos, keyboards, organs, synthesisers, orchestral sounds, bass and guitar sounds and many more. Would you like even more sounds? Studiologic has developed a desktop app that allows you to select additional sounds and organise them quickly and easily: Numa Manager. With various effects such as delay, reverb, distortion, overdrive and many more, you can create any atmosphere you want.

Keyboard

As mentioned above, this version of the Studiologic Numa X Piano features 88 weighted keys with a wooden core. For the pure pianist this is often a requirement, but you will need to compromise on weight. This version weighs 22 kilos, whereas the version without a wooden core weighs only 14 kilos. Is the weight of the piano decisive for you? Then be sure to take a look at the Numa X 88 Piano, or perhaps even the more compact Numa X 73 Piano.

Operation

One important goal for Studiologic was ensuring simple operation. Not an unnecessary number of buttons, but enough physical controls for good command over the instrument. The 2.8" colour display makes operating it even clearer. This allows you to switch quickly and effectively between different channels, sounds and settings. Very useful for the live musician, but also very pleasant for the hobby player. The clean and organised appearance ensures that you quickly become familiar with the instrument.

The piano has 4 different sound channels. On each channel you can select different sounds, and these channels can also be layered. Internal sounds and external MIDI sounds can be loaded onto the different channels. Master Effects can also be added to each channel. The final mix can then be adjusted with the Master EQ. The piano also has a built-in four-track digital mixer and a USB audio interface.

With the Roland LX-706DR, a new era of digital pianos begins. Development and innovation are highly valued by this renowned piano brand, resulting in three new high-quality pianos in the LX series. The LX-706 is the middle model in this series and features the new Hybrid Grand keyboard. Together with an improved sound engine, a powerful advanced speaker system and a beautiful cabinet, the 706 becomes a true top-class instrument. If you are looking for the perfect balance between quality and price, it is certainly worth taking a look at this piano!

High-quality sounds of the Roland LX-706

The Roland LX-706 offers two unique world-class piano sounds. The “Piano Modelling Technology” generates these authentic sounds, based on a European and an American grand piano. The polyphony of these sounds is infinite! You will feel as if you are sitting at a real concert grand when playing the LX-706. In addition, the piano features 324 tones generated by samples from the highly praised SuperNATURAL sound engine. Organs, electric pianos, as well as string, orchestral and wind sounds are all available!

Playing the LX-706 provides an optimal piano experience both through the speaker system and through headphones. Although slightly less powerful than the top model, the LX-708, the three-way system is still strong and flexible enough to provide a room-filling sound in which every sound range is projected to perfection. The six speakers are divided into three pairs, each pair optimised for a specific range. This guarantees superior sound quality and an optimal piano experience.

If you cannot produce sound in your surroundings, playing with headphones offers a major advantage. A special high-quality headphone technology ensures that the piano experience remains excellent even through headphones. You can therefore practise without worry on this beautiful LX-706 digital piano.

New keyboard in the LX-706

New in the LX-706 is the improved hybrid keyboard. Each key is slightly longer than those of other digital pianos. Extra length means the pivot point sits further back, requiring less pressure to press the key and improving playability. The white keys have slim wooden sides and a durable, maintenance-free synthetic inner frame. The synthetic ivory top layer is moisture-absorbing and provides good grip and a pleasant playing feel.

In terms of touch, the LX-706 offers the perfect balance between pressure, momentum and return movement. Even the physical vibrations of the resonating keyboard of an acoustic grand have been reproduced in this premium LX. In short: a keyboard that enables a wide variety of advanced techniques and allows you to experience the optimal piano feeling!

The advantages of a digital piano

With the LX-706, you have a wonderful sound and a very pleasant playing feel – but that is not all! You also benefit from the digital advantages. An important advantage is that you can play silently using headphones without sacrificing quality or experience. Special technology ensures a realistic playing experience while maintaining the high-quality sound.

The piano is equipped with Bluetooth. You can wirelessly stream audio, which is then played back through the speakers or the headphones. This allows you to play along with your favourite music! But Bluetooth can do more: it can connect to a smartphone or tablet, allowing you to use various free Roland apps such as Piano Partner 2 and Piano Designer. On your tablet you can easily edit sounds, split the keyboard into different sections, or layer multiple sounds. A comprehensive lesson function and the ability to play scores from built-in songs are also available.

The Yamaha N3X embodies the latest technology in the field of digital pianos. This flagship model from Yamaha offers the ultimate expression. A keyboard and pedals like those of a grand piano provide the ultimate playing performance.

Casio GP-510PE – Used

The Casio GP-510 combines a lifelike piano sound with the many advantages that a digital piano offers. The new design shines like that of a luxurious acoustic piano thanks to its wooden cabinet and golden accents. Its modern look ensures that this piano not only sounds beautiful but also looks excellent in the living room. Combine this with the high-gloss black finish and you have a piano that can shine in any living room.

Sound

Casio, in collaboration with Bechstein, has created a completely new sound generator for the Casio Grand Hybrid series. The three new concert grand sounds are lifelike and each of the three is completely different from the others. The grand piano samples fill your entire living room thanks to the extensive speaker system with two large speakers of 30 watts each, and two smaller speakers of 20 watts each. You can also keep the top lid open for a surround-sound feel. The grand piano samples were created together with the well-known piano brand Bechstein, which has more than 160 years of experience in building grand pianos and upright pianos. Casio has also added several simulations to the system. For example, with the Concert Simulation you can recreate the same warmth and resonance of a large concert hall directly in your own living room.

Keys

With the new GP-510, Casio has brought back the highly praised Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard. These lifelike wooden keys use a real hammer mechanism, just like an acoustic piano. Many pianists felt no difference between an acoustic piano keyboard and that of the Casio GP-310. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the keys as well as the weighting. This means you can set up the Casio GP-510 entirely to your own preference — from sound to touch.

System

The Casio GP-510 offers countless options that you can adjust using the easy-to-read display. You can record your piano playing and save it onto your computer, and it has a built-in metronome. The different samples are easy to find via the clear and well-organised menu. You do not need to spend hours browsing through the manual — the Grand Hybrid’s menu is easy to understand and quick to use. All this makes the Casio GP-510 a fantastic piano for the music lover who wants a lifelike piano sound, combined with the excellent advantages of a digital system.
