Kurzweil Music Systems and UK distributor Sound Technology Ltd have announced that the new Kurzweil SP1 Stage Piano, announced at the NAMM show in January, is now shipping. They believe that the SP1 is the perfect keyboard for students and schools, small gigs and home recording.

A spokesperson told us, "Following the success of the Kurzweil SP6 Stage Piano, the SP1 continues the same standard of sonic excellence in a streamlined, highly affordable, easy to use and portable package. The SP1’s intuitive controls and lack of menus let you stay focused on the music with direct sound selection and a customisable ‘Favourites' section."
