Starting Out

Main Features

Authentic Piano Performances

High-quality concert grand piano tones, combined with the Progressive Hammer Action keyboard, which provides more realistic piano touch, with a heavier feel in the low end and a lighter feel in the upper notes, let you enjoy truly authentic piano performances.

Five Tones for Use in a Wide Variety of Musical Genres

The DP-1000 features not only piano tones, but four different internal tones that you can use in a variety of musical genres.

Includes High-Quality Reverb

The DP-1000’s reverb function can add rich reverberation (sound that is reflected off the walls of a room) to the instrument sounds, making it sound as if you are playing in a concert hall.

Compact and Flat Design goes well with any interior

Closing the keyboard lid creates a flat surface.

Its compact, simple design fits in with almost any room decor.
