What our customers say... 1) "The Classenti CDP2 is exactly what we wanted for our kids to learn on" It's exactly what we wanted for our kids to learn on. We especially like the fact it has no distractions in
the form of buttons and sound effects above the keyboard. Don't get me wrong, it has lots, but it's tricky for the
kids to It looks like a classic piano and my 6 year old's playing is coming on a treat thanks to the weighted keys
etc allowing him to get his dynamics sorted. The UK Pianos guide book was invaluable and was written in plain I can't thank Graham enough for his advice and booklet! 2) "Once the first few notes were played it was confirmed, we knew we had picked a winner, the sound is very impressive" We are really pleased with our decision to go with the Classenti brand for our purchase of a digital piano. The courier driver you used was careful in unloading the piano. The strong packaging by the supplier helped to ensure the piano arrived in mint condition. The set up was straightforward after following the simple instructions in the manual. The piano has good build quality, sturdy yet sleek looking with great curved lines and the polished black finish looks great. Once the first few notes were played it was confirmed, we knew we had picked a winner, the sound is very impressive. The simple layout of the buttons makes them easy to use and the manual explained how to get the different instrumental voices, practice songs etc. My daughter is really enjoying practicing on the piano. Thanks for the great service Graham & please also thank your team on our behalf. Review by Leo Botrugno & Family, Bedfordshire, UK 3) "A real piano touch - and for less than a Yamaha equivalent" I chanced upon the website when searching on Google for advice on buying Digital Piano......fantastic. The guidance booklet from Graham Howard Pianos was excellent. I have since recommended it to others. From the beginning to the end invaluble advice. Impeccable service and delivery. I would not hesitate in recommending this website to anyone
4) "Good experience of buying a piano here" Luckily, I live just a few minutes drive from the UK Piano store in Enfield. People are often suspicious when they see a shop with bargains that seem too good to be true so I didn't want to buy until I had visited myself. The showroom is small and cramped - no money is being wasted there. There is an active piano school with classes going on. I also had the opportunity to visit the workshop where it seems Graham and the other staff really know what they are doing. In short, this is a real place with great work ethic. There is no hard sell. The bargains are good because prices are kept to a minimum with no wastage. I am very happy with the Classenti electric piano I bought. The sound is very good and the keyboard has a great feel. I strongly recommend UK Pianos.

Resources Classenti CDP2 Features Sound High resolution sound source. Digitally sampled in Japan. 88 Full Size, Fully Weighted Piano Keys Represents the full 7¼ octave range of an upright or grand piano. The keys are exactly the same size as a real piano. Touch Sensitive Keys The harder you strike the key, the louder it sounds. Gives added expression to your music. Touch Sensitivity Levels: 5. This allows you to play each note at 5 different volume levels (p, mp, mf, f, ff). Graded Hammer Action Keyboard With heavier key weighting in the bass, getting progressively lighter as you go up the keyboard. This mimics the exact feel of an upright or grand piano. Sound SourceJapanese engineers created the Classenti sound by combining a multitude of tones from the world's finest concert grand pianos. These engineers didn't just take the sound from one grand piano they took the richest, most vibrant ones; enhanced them, then came up with a digitally sampled version that's quite unique. I don't know how they did this, but the result is a clean, piano sound that's incredibly realistic. 8 Instrumental Voices (In addition, each voice can be combined with another. This creates a total of 15 different sounds) Piano 1, Piano 2 (Brighter sound. Good for jazz), Electric Piano 1, Electric Piano 2, Harpsichord, Organ, Strings and Vibraphone. The instrumental voices, effects, reverb, chorus, metronome and other features are all accessed from just three buttons. These buttons are located on the left cheek, which is next to the bottom note on the piano. Sliding Key Cover The sliding key cover is the same colour as the piano. It protects your piano keys from getting chipped, prevents them from getting ruined by liquid spills, and stops dust from getting in-between or underneath the keys.
2 x 20 watts - that’s 40 watts stereo amplification! A large volume range. Record and Play Back This feature allows you to record your own music. All you need to do is press the ‘record’ button and start playing. When you’ve finished playing, press the ‘play’ button and it will play back your song. The recording feature is also compatible with PC music file formats. In other words, you can record yourself in a file format that can then be transferred to other media (CDs, MP3 etc.) Built-in Metronome No need to buy one, it's built-in. Essential for learning how to play in time. You can adjust the speed to suit the music you are playing. Voltage Adjustment The Classenti CDP2 has a built-in transformer which allows you to use the piano in any Country. It automatically adjusts to your Country's voltage! Power Adaptor AC mains adaptor with UK plug included. 3 Pedals: Sustain, Soft and Sostenuto Sustain pedal. This is the pedal on the right. On upright pianos it is sometimes referred to as a ‘damper pedal’. This pedal allows you to sustain any note, or notes, without having to hold the key down. Soft pedal. This is the pedal on the left. Pressing this down makes the sound a lot quieter. It’s very useful when you’re required to play something very delicate. Sostenuto pedal. This pedal is in the middle. Used mainly by experienced pianists. The sostenuto pedal sustains only notes that are depressed at the time the pedal is depressed. More proficient players use it when a note, or notes need to be sustained without being disturbed when the right pedal comes into play. Key weight Control Prefer a heavier or lighter touch? No problem, just use the key weight control button to select from three settings: Standard, heavy and light. The piano’s default setting is standard. The keys remain touch sensitive on all settings. Cabinet (Keyboard, Base, Legs, Pedal board)
Easy to use control panel that's tucked away neatly at the left hand end of the keyboard section. Fixed Wooden Stand The fixed wooden stand with all 3 pedals built-in is included in the price. With just 4 hand-tight wing nuts to secure the stand to the keyboard section the CDP2 can be put together or taken apart with ease. Music Desk (Folding) Extra long (curved corner) music desk. This comes in really handy when having to spread out pages of sheet music. The music desk is on two hinges. It folds down if you need to store or transport your piano. And it can also be easily removed. Headphones 2 x Headphone jacks to connect headphones. Two players can play with headphones at the same time. 64 Note Polyphony This allows you to play up to 64 notes simultaneously (I know you only have 10 fingers, but this includes notes held down by the pedal). MIDI In/Out You can connect to your computer and other MIDI compatible hardware. Allows interaction with piano tuition PC software, and music notation software such as Sibelius, Finale, NotationComposer, MagicScore, MusicTime, QuickScore and many more. If you're into composing them the MIDI In/Out is a must. AUX In (also known as 'Line in' or 'audio in') The Aux-in (or auxiliary-in) allows you to connect external music sources (with RCA outputs) such as your PDA or MP3 player. AUX Out (also known as 'Line out' or 'audio out') If you want to give a live performance, connect your Classenti piano to your hi-fi system through the AUX-out (or auxiliary-out). TransposeChange your piano’s pitch to play along with other instruments such as trumpet, clarinet, etc. Or make some musical pieces more comfortable for singers. Reverb This produces a slight echo on each note to mimic the sound a grand piano makes in a concert hall. The Classenti CDP2 offers 4 levels of reverb. Dual Voice With Layer Balance Choose any two sounds and merge them together. A very nice combination is piano combined with strings. Master Volume Switch You can turn the sound right down for late night playing, or up to its maximum for loud performances. Power Switch You can turn your piano on or off without having to reach for the mains socket. More Features:
What Else Is In The Box?
Available Colours: Black satin, dark rosewood, polished ebony, cherry, maple, mahogany, polished white or polished rosewood Black satin will look particularly good in your home when accompanied with dark wood furniture. Black is the most versatile (and safest choice) out of all wood colours. And it blends in well with most shades of brown or grey. Dark rosewood is a dark colour that has a black and dark red natural wood grain finish. Dark rosewood goes really well with dark furniture. Polished ebony is a highly polished, mirror finish. It's vastly superior to any satin finish. Polished ebony is harder wearing due to there being no edges or joins. Fingers marks and scratches appear more pronounced though. Polished ebony looks exceptionally smart and professional. And it will go with practically any colour scheme in your home. It looks particularly good against wooden floors or oak furniture. Cherry is a light wood with a hint of orange. Maple is a light colour (similar to beech, but with more wood grains) and slightly lighter than pine. It's a satin maple finish that has a smooth, almost silky appearance. Its natural wood grain effect completes it beautifully. Mahogany is a mid to dark brown colour with a dark brown, natural wood grain effect. This finish goes will all shades of brown furniture including: mid to dark oak, all types of mahogany, or walnut. It also looks good on oak floors. Polished white is a highly polished, mirror finish. It's vastly superior to any satin finish. Polished white is harder wearing due to there being no edges or joins. Polished rosewood is a deep, warm, dark colour with a hint of red. It's a highly polished, mirror finish with natural wood grain effect. Polished rosewood is vastly superior to any satin finish. And it's harder wearing due to there being no edges or joins. Piano Dimensions: Length 138cm (54.3
inches), Height 82cm (32.3 inches), Depth 42cm (16.5 inches) Weight of keyboard section: 40kg (88
pounds) Assembly
All holes are pre-drilled. The keyboard section comes in one complete unit. In the assembly pack you get 4 screws to connect the legs and bottom board, 4 screws to attach the back panel, and 4 hand screws to secure the keyboard to its base (the pedals are already attached to the bottom board). That's all there is to it! The piano can be assembled on your own, but we recommend you get help to lift the keyboard section onto its base. Storing The Piano Away The Classenti CDP2 digital piano can easily be taken apart and stored away. Just undo the 4 wing nuts and the keyboard section comes away from its base. You Get:
Quick Glance Differences Between The CDP1 And The CDP2
Advantages Of The CDP2 Over The CDP1 The main advantage is the sound quality. The CDP2 has a warmer, deeper, more resonant piano sound. This is due to its even better sampling, larger and more powerful speakers, and speaker position. The CDP2 has a sliding key cover. This will protect your piano keys from getting chipped or ruined by liquid spills. It also stops dust from getting in-between and under the keys. The almost full backboard on the CDP2 provides a much stronger and more stable piano. The main panels are less likely to be damaged if you intend moving your piano around a lot. If you use a lot of individual sheet music, rather than books, the extra length music desk on the CDP2 comes in really handy. The CDP2’s simplified user panel was designed to reduce the chances of being distracted while playing. Only 3 buttons are viewable on the user panel.

over 12 months) Videos from customers Questions Q/ "Why is the action on the Classenti digital piano so realistic?" A/ After years of research and development, Classenti has patented a new piano action mechanism called “Real Hammer Action Mechanic With Adjustable Action Point”. In plain English, this really means: The moving parts that are connected to the piano key have been designed to feel exactly like a real piano. Q/ "Do you have any idea how the Classenti CDP2 and CDP3 compare for resale prices if we might want to upgrade after say 2 years?" For instance, if we were to buy another piano from you and they were in good condition, what would you buy them back for? (this is not a meant to be a commitment on your part, but just to get an idea comparing them). A/ Classenti digital pianos have got a good resale value. A two year old CDP2 should sell for between 60% and 70% of the price you paid for it. A five year old CDP3 should sell for between 50% and 60% of the price you paid for it. This is assuming you keep it in good condition, of course. If you want to upgrade to an upright piano later then we would offer you an attractive part-exchange price. Q/ "I have been thinking about the classenti but would be nervous about buying without trying it first. Do you know of any stockists in Dublin Ireland by any chance?" A/ There aren't any stockists of Classenti digital pianos in Ireland. Classenti digital pianos can only be purchased online. Classenti offer a '60 day money back if you're not satisfied' guarantee. This way you can try the piano out in your home without commitment.

The most important parts of the mechanism are made in Germany. What our customers say...

Many thanks, - Hi Graham, I live in Anglesey and we do not have many shops where one can try the pianos . I am hoping to go further afield to play more very soon. My local shop in Bangor has 2 - a YDP140 Arius and a CLP 320 Yamaha. The latter I can buy for 829. As I shall be teaching piano on the instrument I want to be sure I make the right decision. I just wish I could have played a Classenti CDP2 as it seems to tick the boxes for me. I visited a store in Portmadog yesterday and played a slection of Kawai pianos- definitely not for me. Thanks for your interest. Best wishes, Linda Reply/ Hi Linda Yes, the Classenti CDP2 is a lovely piano. It's You won't regret it though... The sound and The Yamaha CLP320 is also a good piano.

I learned piano as a
child and had an old upright in our house up till a few years ago when we got rid of it. My husband gave me a
keyboard which I was grateful for but the keys don’t feel the same as a piano. However on reading your book I see
that many digital pianos are similar to the feel of a real piano and I think I would go for the Classenti CDP2. I’m
not in a position right now to buy the piano but hopefully within the next few months I will be able to. I’ve got
the opportunity to try out a Yamaha Clavinova range so that will let me be able to compare the different touch. I’ll get back to you when I’m ready to make my purchase but thanks, meantime, for your help.
