Digital Piano
A Class Act for the Home
Refined elegance — the new DP-900 digital piano offers streamlined,
uncluttered operation, sophisticated appearance, and realistic piano sound.
There are 20 internal sounds to choose from, including acoustic grand to electric
piano, organ, harpsichord, and more. A “Dual Play” mode is also provided,
which allows two tones to be layered for a rich, resounding sound.

Digital Piano Four Reasons to Love the DP--900
Stylish Appearance
The DP-900 impresses with its sleek, modern-furniture-like design,
featuring a solid, soft-close safety lid that can be used as a music
rest when opened. With its natural-looking, light wood grained
finish, the DP-900 blends well into any room in the house —
and it’s easy to move from room to room, thanks to its strong-
but-lightweight design.
Authentic Sound & Touch
Equipped with high-quality concert grand waveforms, the
DP-900 reproduces the sound of an acoustic piano
authentically. The Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard
provides weight in the lower range and a light feel in the
upper range for a more natural piano touch. Dedicated buttons
are provided so players can change the keyboard touch from light to heavy in accordance
with their finger strength. The onboard reverb effect adds natural, spatial reverberation;
Sympathetic Resonance creates the natural vibration of a true grand piano.
Built-in Recorder
The DP-900 has a two-track recorder built in, which allows players to quickly and
easily capture their performances. Not only for fun, this feature makes piano
lessons more effective, as teachers and students can listen to and evaluate
the playback instantly. Right and left-hand parts can be recorded individually,
which is also useful for practice and evaluation.
Variety of Sounds
More than just a grand piano, the DP-900
can also generate electric piano sounds
and organ sounds. Twenty sounds are
provided, enabling players to cover a
broad range of musical genres. Any
two sounds can be layered or split across
the keyboard simultaneously. There are five
demo songs onboard that feature the piano,
harpsichord, organ, and othersounds.
Additionally, 60 classical piano pieces are
included — useful for lessons, for listening
enjoyment, and to cultivate musical
appreciation.
