Thomann SP-5600

As my former piano was lost for reasons I won't go into I was looking all over for a afforadable replacement. After some reading of other reviews of this instrument I decided to buy it.

The pros:
Great soundbanks and great piano performance. Suprisingly good quality and feeling for being such small a price tag.

The cons:
Maybe the speakers, good but could be better. But since there are ample connections to external sound systems that is not really a thing.

Over all it is a great instrument with so much more than a good piano sound going for it.

We bought this piano for our son who is eager to learn a lot of instruments. We at the same time as it being a gamble (on him being willing to continue playing) wanted a good product with a long potential and flexible life, so not only things like 88 weighted keys, dual 1/4" plug outputs and mobility (no integrated stand) were important. We like that it is reasonably light, can sit on a keyboard X-type stand, and has a strong focus on grand piano sounds. The other sounds are considerably more cheesy, but that's OK, it's a piano! We run it with Garage Band in an iPhone and some PC-based DAW/Sequencers too. This works flawlessly. Quality-wise, the keys feel OK, and there have been no problems with the hardware.

What we could not get but wanted are:
XLR outputs (yeah, one can dream...)
Internal power supply with IEC connector
