This versatility caters to both solo performances and ensemble playing.

The DGC1B comes with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, enabling seamless integration with smart devices. Musicians can easily access music apps, lessons, or streaming services, enhancing both practice and performance experiences. Furthermore, the piano features a USB-to-host connection, allowing easy connectivity to computers, enabling the use of recording software or digital audio workstations.
