Description

Thanks to its clever design, the keys feel like a real instrument making the carry on Piano the perfect solution for entry-level students to seasoned professionals. Play any time using headphones or the built-in stereo speakers. With 128 sounds and accompaniments and MIDI over USB, this is the ultimate go-anywhere piano.
Portable PotentialÂ
This affordable practice instrument has been designed from the ground-up to solve that age old problem for veteran piano players: "how can I easily transport an 88-key piano?" It's also equally suitable if you're a beginner who's looking for a first piano that can be stored away while not in use.Â
Unique DesignÂ
These storage and transport scenarios are made incredibly simple thanks to an intuitive, entirely foldable design. When folded, the piano measures just 33cm in length - allowing you to carry it in a small backpack, or put it away when you've got visitors. It weighs just 1.6kg too, making it a viable lightweight creative option that's ready wherever and whenever inspiration strikes you!
Thanks to a USB rechargeable Li-ion battery, you'll even get 8 hours of playing time on a full charge while you're out and about.Â
The EngineeringÂ
With a design like this, you'd expect there to be some compromises when it comes to feel, sound and performance. However, that's not the case at all. With 88-keys (and a full-sized keyboard) you have access to the full register of the instrument, with a proper touch and response to match.Â
The integrated sound engine boasts 128 voices, offering you an extensive library of tones to select from. This is bolstered by 128 custom accompaniments and 30 demo songs, which are both especially handy practice tools for mastering various playing styles. You'll be able to improve your sense of timing too using the in-built metronome (with 6 contrasting accent settings).Â
If you prefer silent practice, a stereo 3.5mm headphone output lets you connect your favourite cans. Or, if you're looking to perform out loud, use the built-in stereo speakers instead!Â
