General
The Recital is a full-size digital piano with 88 semi-weighted keys. It has five voices: acoustic piano, electric piano, organ, synth and bass. It's possible to combine two of the voices by using the Layer mode to create a full, rich tone. There's also a Split function that allows you to have separate sounds on each side of the keyboard. That means you can play bass with your left hand and the melody using another instrument with the your right hand at the same time, for instance.
Lesson Mode
While the other modes are probably better suited to more advanced players, the Lesson mode is aimed at beginners. In this mode, the keyboard is split evenly in two with each side having exactly the same pitch and voice. This means that a tutor can play a piece first and have the student play back exactly the same thing. The sound is played through powerful 20-watt built-in speakers. When you want to practise in silence, simply plug a set of headphones into the headphone socket.
Connectors
There are various connectors on the back of the Recital, adding to its versatility. As well as the headphone socket, there's an input to attach an optional sustain pedal. There are also RCA outputs so that you can connect the Recital to a recorder, mixer, amplifier or PA system. It's also possible to connect this digital piano to a computer using the USB MIDI output. The Recital can be powered using the included power adapter or by 6 D cell batteries (not included).

De kwaliteit van de toetsen laten wel de wensen over. Ze maken een veel lawaai wanneer je ze indrukt; wanneer je het geluid wel voldoende hard zet, wordt dit wel gecompenseerd. Maar aangezien de prijsklasse, valt dit wel te verwachten.
De MIDI poort maakt het mogelijk om je spel direct op te nemen en ook opnieuw af te spelen.
Al met al een zeer degelijke piano voor zijn prijs, waar hij wel degelijk in uittblinkt!
Als kind heb ik les gevolgd voor piano, had een oude Casio staan wat ik ooit gevonden heb op een rommelmarkt. Omdat ik nu wou opnemen, wou ik toch wel eentje hebben met toets gevoeligheid en eentje van degelijke kwaliteit.
Ik heb de juiste keuze gemaakt!
De 2x 20W speakers zorgen voor een zuiver geluid en zijn zalig voor thuis te oefenen.
De sensitivity van de toetsen zit voor mij perfect en zorgt voor mooie emotionele tonen in de muziek.
Met de MiDi functie is het gemakkelijk om op te nemen, gewoon inpluggen en een programma starten.
Het feit dat deze 88 toetsen heeft, zorgt voor de zalige tonen variatie van een echte piano.
Al bij al, een prachtige piano voor een schappelijke prijs. En de levering was weer snel en goed!
