If you are looking for the
ultimate in digital pianos, the Mark 152i is your
only choice.
A digital piano designed in an authentic Young Chang grand
piano cabinet, the Mark 152i offers the features of the Mark
12 in a grand cabinet. It includes SRS "3D Stereo Sound".
SRS offers a stunning surround-sound effect without the need
for additional speakers- a dramatic improvement in sound
quality and projection that will revolutionize the way you
expect a digital piano to sound. Other features include
sustain, sostenuto and soft pedals, a Boston-style
fallboard, and an 88-note weighted keyboard with three
degree tilt, just like the finest concert grand pianos. Its
comfortable and supportive grand piano bench opens for
additional storage.
This unique instrument is available in a wide variety of
finishes to complement any lifestyle or decor:
Many New Sounds and Styles
In addition to SRS, the Mark 152i includes 325 unequaled
sampled sounds that continue the Kurzweil tradition of the
finest sound quality in the industry. The Mark 12 features a
superb Concert Grand Piano; new French Horns; snare drum
with brushes; harmon-muted trumpet; arpeggiated or solo
harp; pizzicato strings; banjo; nylon string guitar and
hundreds more sounds on which the best composers and
arrangers in the music business rely.
In addition, the Mark 152i offers 64 user-editable
auto-accompaniment styles. We hired some of the best
arrangers working today to create the most realistic
sounding styles on ANY digital instrument. These styles are
undoubtedly the finest Kurzweil has ever produced. We've
made it so easy to use that Mark 152i owners can even create
their own styles.
Unique, Exciting Features
The Mark12's display provides easy-to-read, "no jargon"
text, with intuitive menu choices. Its a snap to use
everything the Mark 12 offers. With the Mark 12, it's easy
to find the sound you want. Simply push a button to get to
your favorite instrument, or press the "menu select" button
for a list of sounds related to the category you've chosen.
And with the Mark 12's disk drive, you don't have to wait
while a song loads from a disk - the Mark 12 can read a song
directly from the disk and play it - like a CD player. And
just like a CD player, you can play songs in order or
randomly shuffle-play them. The Mark12's innovative Edu-Games
feature encourages everyone to have fun by sharpening their
skills while learning important musical concepts. Edu-Games
include harmonic, melodic and rhythmic ear training games.
There is also a scale tester and chord dictionary which
helps you learn your scales and chords. This is a $400
additional software package not available anywhere else. We
built it into the Mark 12!
