Featuring a contemporary design with simple and intuitive controls, the Kurzweil KaE1 Portable Digital Piano (Black) is a versatile and expressive instrument well-suited for beginers and intermediate pianists. It combines an 88-note, H1 Ivory hammer-action keyboard with the sound of a Kurzweil German 9' Grand Piano, and a 30W/4-speaker sound system to deliver a natural piano-playing experience with immersive sound. A collection of 20 instrument sounds with adjustable reverb, Layer and Split modes to combine sounds, Duo mode to play with a partner, headphone jack, 1-track song recorder, Bluetooth music streaming, and USB audio/MIDI interface for connecting to a Mac/Windows computer make the KaE1 ideal for pianists seeking a rich musical experience.
The KaE1 is very portable. It runs on 8 D batteries (available separately) or can be powered from the included AC adapter. To complement a range of home décors, the KaE1's space-saving design can be enhanced with the addition of an ST-2 stand (no built-in pedals) or ST-3 stand (with built-in soft/sostento/sustain functionality) for more permanent setups (both stands are available separately).
