Kawai MP9500 Digital Piano

Kawai MP9500 Stage Piano

Kawai MP9500 Stage Piano
This is the cream of the crop ladies and gentlemen. Kawai has created an outstanding instrument with the MP9500 stage piano. A step up from the legendary Kawai MP9000, this piano arguably has the finest piano hammer action around, with a nice selection of controller functions as well.

Where to buy the Kawai MP9500 Digital Piano
You may be lucky enough to find a used one lurking around. One of the very best places to look of course, is eBay.com Musical Instruments Listings. For all you Canadians out there (CleverJoe sees you wearing your touques and drinking Alexander Keith's) visit eBay.ca Canadian Listings for used digital pianos in Canada.

Also, check out Musician's Friend Keyboard Gear or Music123 Keyboards for the newest Kawai and other digital pianos.

"The best in any electric keyboard yet made"
"I use the MP9500 in place of a grand to practice on because of it's superb touch-sensitive action, the best in any digital piano yet made. I travel a lot, and because of its portability and use of headphones, I can play it anywhere, at anytime. I've done gigs where I've lined it up against a full-length concert grand and challenged the audience to spot the difference in sound - they couldn't - and the fact that it has an infinite arsenal of fantastic electronic keyboard sounds makes boring practising a thing of the past! It's MIDI capabilities make it an ideal base keyboard for any computer software setup. I recommend it to all my students who have restricted accommodation yet need a realistic and silent substitute for an acoustic piano."

Michael Kieran Harvey - Concert Pianist

Roland FP-5C Digital Piano
Roland FP-5C Digital Piano
Sit down to play an FP-5 and you'll immediately notice the quality of the keyboard, which uses real hammers rather than springs. Play the lower register and you'll get a heavier touch. Play the upper register and the keys feel lighter. That's the beauty of Roland's Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard: You can play as expressively as you like with a response identical to an acoustic grand.
