“The SP3X may look almost identical to its predecessor, but it has clearly got a lot more going on under the hood.”

In an exclusive first review, the Kurzweil SP3X is featured in the May issue of Performing Musician Magazine.

Kurzweil's SP3 line brings the stage piano concept to new heights, with unmatched sound quality and expressiveness. The SP3 series is equally well suited for use on stage, at home, or in the studio, and is perfect for places of worship.

Along with the famous Kurzweil Grand Piano, the SP3 offers a wide variety of other sounds, including winds, voices, synths, brass, bass, guitar, percussion and ensembles. Sounds like leads, strings and winds come to life, responding to velocity, aftertouch and 4 real-time controls, offering unheard of expressiveness in a stage piano.

“…not only does the SP3X have a lot more to offer when it comes to choice, but the overall quality has greatly increased, so a far higher percentage of these sounds are genuinely usable, which is a big improvement”.

The SP3X's piano sounds are one such area of improvement, “Not only does the SP3X offer considerably more acoustic piano variations to choose from, but their overall quality has improved aswell.  These pianos generally have a very good definition of tone, right through the register.  Also, this time you can actually tell the difference between most of the variations…some of its electric piano sounds make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up”.

“…the effects deserve special attention.  Just as they do in the SP2X, Kurzweil's powerful and expressive effects really bring this piano's sounds to life and can give them a powerful new dimension”.

“Kurzweil have made improvements on their SP2X model, offering a better choice and quality of sounds...a good range of usable sounds and handy functions makes it an attractive proposition for the gigging pianist”.
