Q onda, disculpa, el tacto del piano es bueno, lo que pasa q me gustaría comprarlo, tengo actualmente el Fp-60x de Roland y su Tacto es increíble pero pues este piano me llama la atención
We are getting close. My wish list still includes optional harpsichord/organ pedalboard, swell pedal, church/classical/theatre organ pipe registration, tonewheel organ drawbar controls and programmable 2nd-touch sensitivity . For the piano, I would like _una corda_ & _sostenuto_ pedal support, variable touch, keyweight & regulation control with uploadable timbre and action emulation/sample sets from various prominent acoustic grands. No problem, right ?
I just got this today. This thing has mind blowing features. I mostly liked the touchscreen. It’s same as a smartphone touchscreen. No difference. The touchscreen is so sensitive. I also have Modx+ and Krome but I needed a stage keyboard as a main board. I really liked the piano sounds. The piano sounds carefully designed for classical music and stage music. As a keyboard player and pianist this is what I needed. Yeah acoustic pianos are really good but I didn’t like the rhodes sounds. Yamaha is better than Nord and Kurzweil for rhodes sounds. MY ADVICES - if you don’t care about the money, you should buy Nord stage or piano - if you wanna control everything easily buy sp7 grand - if you want original Rhodes sounds buy Yamaha CP88 then - if you want 4 band Eq (so important) buy sp7 grand - if you’re only playing piano sounds… it depends my friend :))
Hello. Very interesting video, thank you. I noticed there’s no mention of the touch, that hammer action technology. How is the hammer action in comparison of that of the nord piano? Thank you
I'm tempted to buy this because my Kawai MP 11SE, though fantastic to play, is too heavy to carry around and a bit fragile. Very different instruments I know but Is there anybody here who has used this Kurzweil for a while, any thoughts?
I’ve been really into Kurzweil and Yamaha lately… never really been too big of a fan of Nord, Korg was my baby for a while but I’m a little disappointed in the nautilus. The yamaha YC and now the CK have been on my mind a lot. The Kurzweil K2700 has been in my sights too. This one is looking like a solid prospect aswell. It’s hard for me to find what I want but I know some physical drawbars for the organ would be nice lol
curious why disappointed with the nautilus. Just bought one and its a great keyboard, nice pianos, synth sounds, drum tracks, sequencer, I could go on and on and its the same engine as the Kronos and its unparalleled for what it offers compared to other keyboards in its price range .
I really enjoyed your video of the Kurzweil SP Grand. I have a question a student of mine has problems with her sustain pedal on the Kur well have you come across anything like that?
I'm a little confused. Does the PC4 do anything this SP7 doesn't do? They are very similar in price (within £200) and the SP7 appears to have better sound quality and touch screen. The PC4 has drawbars/faders. Is there anything else it would do better / differently than an SP7?
PC4 is quite old (2019) and it's to be expected that a newer model would have a supreme sound. PC4 is also a synth, which a lot of sound modeling feature, that are most probably not present on SP7. Last but not least, many people are complaining of the action of PC4 (Medeli), while SP7 is using the well-proven Fatar TP/110, that you could find on the Studiologic Numa Piano.
I am interested in the Sp 7 grand what you are showing now, is it just piano , have not played it much because it was in storageMark12152. Could you tell what I WOULD GET FOR A TRADE IN TOWARD SOMETHING YOU HAVE.
Beautiful sound,you play very well. I have a Kurzweil Mark 12 and would like to trade it. I did have a Mark 152 , I moved back to N.E. And had to trade it in because it was a baby grand and was too expensive to ship it. I loved playing the 152 and enjoyed it so much. The Mark 12 was confusing to me and it was a spinit., it is now about 26 years old., I want to trade it in for a nice keyboard what would you say for a trade in., thank you so much much and thank you.
@@rocketman584 Alas, it's not available anywhere on the Internet, I only did it for myself. As did "Ten Sharp - You", etc. Only on my social network I posted some individual pages as demo.
I wish you played the grand piano sound with a more percussive left hand. The biggest problem I find with electric pianos are the low bass notes have little resonance compared with the acoustic I compose on, and with your gentle left hand it is impossible to tell how loud the bass notes can get. As a writer, it is the reason I hate electric pianos for gigs… my bass notes are very important against the right hand, and if they don’t sound loud even when I am banging it out, you cannot hear the chords correctly.
Kurzweil Design team.. Lets copy the Yamaha Super Knob, The Roland Christmas tree lights and Buttons and a dinky little Kronos joystick. Ahh But you could have done it in Nord Red and gone the whole Hog!
@@strongchord4384 Let them at least replace the outdated keyboard action, which has received a dubious reputation because of a known issue with something newer and more current, which has been used in their console models for years.
@@Echochamber79 Kawai was so long out of action as a result of Covid, I ended up changing my purchasing plans more than once -- and I'm now starting from scratch, looking at the field of digital pianos anew. This is why I'll keep tuning in to these reviews: Pre-Covid was a long time ago now, and various models have moved on!
amandajstar, They have the same oversight as Kawai: all the buttons are the same shape, so in the dark it is not clear which button means what, because the inscriptions to the buttons are not illuminated.
@@amandajstar No. No matter how much you learn about your piano model, a matrix of identical buttons for which you can't see the captions is confusing.
What a wonderful sound from this keyboard! You play it so well.
you are one fine player, that alone sells this product in an excellent way :D
Great playing! The concert grand on this sounds very nice.
I love it when he smiles….
Beautiful sounds and awesome playing Tony.👍💯
Really cool strings!
Uno de los mejores pianos que he comprado definitivo ❤

Eish, I want one so bad. I love it.
Love your playing Brother!
Best combo ever

Piano sounds are restricted. Do not buy it. I just return it within a week after the purchase. It’s not a flagship stage piano
what did you get to replace it? @@diyez5bemol9
Great samples - Need to hear the organ patches. Does anything come close to the Nord?
Wow 😍👂🎶

Great review & playing, what monitor speakers did you use ?
I'm tempted to buy this because my Kawai MP 11SE, though fantastic to play, is too heavy to carry around and a bit fragile. Very different instruments I know but Is there anybody here who has used this Kurzweil for a while, any thoughts?
Two quick questions:
1. Does it have a built-in EQ?
2. Can one adjust the layered sound volumes?

Does the pressure of the keys ave soft med strengths etc. and no sound when pressing a key down?

what, is the difference Kurzweil pc 4 and sp7? both keyboards sound amazing.

Hi Tony,
Nice review!
How well does the instrument fit the action?
Do you feel it competes with the NWGH3 or PHAIV premium actions?
Beautiful sound,you play very well. I have a Kurzweil Mark 12 and would like to trade it. I did have a Mark 152 , I moved back to N.E. And had to trade it in because it was a baby grand and was too expensive to ship it. I loved playing the 152 and enjoyed it so much.

Does it have koto?
How to get these into the pc4
Could someone please remind me what the song at 5:16 is? Thank you.
"All by Myself". I have an outstanding score (for solo piano) that I've been working on for quite some time.
@@Alex_Bolton Thank you! Is that score available online?

Rachmaninoff, Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18, second movement
@@remco805:-)
Grand sounds like my Technics from the 90ies
Is this worth to a kinda piano giging event?
Nice keyboard
Tsara daholo rehefa Kurzweil.

How do you use the transpose button
I think the sound is very compressed and given volume. and middle octaves. The sound is very dirty when is polfoinic.

No faders for drawbar organ. Argh!
Yeah I’ll be moving on from this one because of that
I suggest the farrofish b4000+
Some one tell me how to use the transpose button on it
Fatar TP/110 keybed?It's a good keybed but not high standard.Also rather noisy.
That’s a pretty girl right there
The pianos low ends are weak
Kawai, wake up already with your line of stage pianos. You slept too long.
I agree, Kawai has some of the best sounding warm piano samples on the market so it would be great to have a new model. Maybe an MP12?
@@Echochamber79 Or maybe an MP120, looking at their new numbering system. )

I got a Nord Piano 5 and could not be happier 🎉
Their piano sound great but the design...... So gaudy and tacky. They should put more work into making their keyboards look beautiful.
The different coloured lights in a dim setting/stage could be useful. Don't underestimate their utility.
amandajstar, They have the same oversight as Kawai: all the buttons are the same shape, so in the dark it is not clear which button means what, because the inscriptions to the buttons are not illuminated.
@@Alex_Bolton I guess that means one really needs to learn one's model of piano!
@@amandajstar No. No matter how much you learn about your piano model, a matrix of identical buttons for which you can't see the captions is confusing.
@@Alex_Bolton You'd think they'd address this, in that case.
Same old sounds from the 90's K2000, K2500 and SP1. No progress at all.
Kurzweil siempre tiene diseños horribles
…belongs to the eye of the beholder… at least they have a quite unique design!
