Kurzweil KFORTE-SE-B2 88-Note Digital Stage Piano

Description

The Kurzweil Forte SE is an 88-note keyboard that follows in the excellent footsteps established by the Forte and Forte 7, allowing you to realize a high level of performance with great sound quality, dependability, and a user-friendly interface. Boasting a new sleek design and interface modifications in a new compact package, the Forte SE provides a fully-weighted Italian hammer-action keyboard with aftertouch. Its large, easy to use controllers are located in a new convenient position. The placement of the pitch/modulation wheels, variation, tap tempo and transpose switches now appear on the front panel to make the footprint as small as possible for an 88 note keyboard.
The Forte SE is the Special Edition version of the Forte stage piano with FlashPlay™, with instant access to 2 GB of memory, and featuring the German D Grand EXP Grand Piano Expansion, High Definition Japanese Grand Piano, as well as other optimized sounds from the Forte.
