Product Information

When the time comes to go on-stage, the SDP-2 is ready for that too. The RCA outputs let you plug into mixers and amplifiers. Their stereo-output also means in a live setup, you can control panning, so you can get the exact stage sound you want. In addition, when you use the USB to Host output, you can use the SDP-2 as a MIDI controller. So if you do find yourself in the studio – you can hold your own. While some feel it’s easier to teach on a 61-key digital piano when starting out, it’s better to experience a full range of keys as soon as possible, as it won’t limit your playing ability and technique. The SDP-2 Stage Piano by Gear4Music is the perfect starter kit for anyone looking to learn how to play a digital piano. Not only does it include a great 88-key digital piano, but also stereo headphones, a bench, a stand, and sustain pedal. And yes, the sustain pedal is essentially what you need if you're wondering how in the world you could ever play that many notes at once.

A host of connections make the SDP-2 a versatile and practical instrument. The stereo RCA output makes plugging in to any mixer or amplifier, without losing the instrument's great stereo panning, simple. The headphone output is ideal for home practice, even late at night. The included sustain pedal can be plugged in to give the performer much more expression in their performance. A USB output allows the piano to be used as a lightweight MIDI controller with weighted keys, making it ideal for studio work. Everything You Need To help you get up to speed, there’s also an onboard metronome. Which lets you practise your timing. The SDP-2 also comes with a sustain pedal. So you can prolong notes, letting you experiment and learn with sustain techniques too. The Connections You NeedKEY WEIGHTED ACTION– Digital Stage Piano with adjustable reverb and chorus. Perfect for any level of player – from beginner to experienced performer. This is a must for beginners, as being able to take your keyboard to school, lessons, and practice is a huge benefit – nothing puts you off from learning more than needing to humph around a heavy keyboard! Outputs included with the SDP-2 allow the keyboard to become quite versatile. For instance, it’s possible to connect to a mixer or amplifier with the stereo output, while the headphone output lets you practice in peace -and the headphones are included with the keyboard!

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. You also receive 7 more voices in addition to the anticipated grand piano voice, which range from electric piano to organ. What’s more, the 88-keys are weighted, which helps to give the touch and feel of an acoustic piano. Weighted keys are great for beginners, as it means you can feel how weighted keys make a difference, including pressing hard on higher registers and softer on lower registers. The hall and church reverbs add a lot more space to your piano, simulating a large concert space, whilst the room reverb creates a more intimate sound, making the piano feel like it’s in a smaller performance space. The final two reverb settings are delays; this is useful if you play in electronic ensembles. Moreover, you don’t need to use the SDP-2 with the included stand. It’s easy to remove, and the lightweight and compact design makes it simple to travel with.

Additionally, you get all 88 keys that you would anticipate finding on an acoustic piano, and overall, the touch and feel are incredibly true and authentic.
