(B-Stock) Artesia Pro AG-50 Digital Piano

General

Most pianists grow and learn their craft with a humble upright piano rather than a grand, and there's a couple of very good reasons for this. Upright pianos are cheap, while grand pianos can be near-priceless. Grand pianos also eat up a considerable amount of space, so unless you happen to live in a castle, an upright piano is simply the logical choice. Luckily, digital pianos, and even digital grand pianos are a touch more affordable and often a little more compact than acoustic grands, and while they're not necessarily cheap, they are a more attainable option for pianists that dream of sitting at a grand piano in the comfort of their own living room. At the more affordable end of the digital grand piano spectrum, the Artesia Pro AG-50 is a size deeper than the AG-30, taking it further away from the size of an acoustic baby-grand, to that of a fully-grown grand.

The Artesia Pro AG-50

Since it is digital, the AG-50 also offers the immense array of options that only digital pianos make possible. The internal memory holds a library of over 130 different sounds, which doesn't just cover pianos, but strings, guitars, synthesizers, and plenty more. A bank of rhythms in various styles is also provided for accompanying songs and to help with timing, while the integrated recorder can be used to capture snippets of ideas, check your playing progress, or to record original compositions. This piano even supports MIDI via USB as well as DIN ports: a feature that transforms the AG-50 into a luxurious MIDI-keyboard that can be linked to external gear like sound modules or a laptop and used to control an even greater array of sounds. This digital piano is also a comprehensive teaching tool, where features like duet mode splits the keyboard in two, enabling the teacher to play alongside their student in the same key. In short, while this model bears all the looks of an acoustic grand, it offers a mass of ultra-modern options. It even comes complete with a piano bench.
