Kurzweil Artis 88 note stage piano in great condition.
One small (as far as I’m concerned) fault is distortion from the headphone socket on higher volumes. An electrician told me it’s probably a dirty contact. It’s never bothered me as you can always plug headphones into the mixer or amp you’re playing it through.
Otherwise in full working order.
If you’ve read this far you probably know how good Kurzweils are. This features the new (in 2013) German grand piano sample which I can only describe as stunning, I’ve never heard anything as realistic, the extreme high and low notes are incredible. The electric pianos which include rhodes and wurlis are also superb. And as it’s a Kurzweil it’s built like a tank. There is also a free downloadable sound editor from soundtower.
The following is taken from the Artis musician’s guide (downloadable from the Kurzweil website) :
The Artis Stage Piano is the beginning of the next generation of Kurzweils professional performance instruments. It boasts hundreds of excellent preset sounds (including a new German Grand Piano) already on-board and ready to be played with 128 voice polyphony. Artis also includes our fully featured Kurzweil KB3 organ simulator (from our PC3 Series) designed to emulate classic tone wheel organs. The Artis is also a very capable MIDI controller ideally suited for controlling additional sound modules and as input to a sequencer
