Wagner’s Universe in a Pianist’s Hands

One of the most thrilling performances offered at Cremona Musica this year was the Wagner by Liszt recital given by Filippo Tenisci – Italian pianist, born 1998 and celebrated for his refined interpretations and expressive mastery of the Romantic repertoire. After his recital we got the chance talking to Tenici about his Wagner/Liszt project. Read more

Kurzweil ep500 dp question
on: October 16, 2015, 07:10:59 PM
Hello, new here, just about to buy a first digital piano.  I'm looking at used pianos to start my son (and me!) in piano lessons.  We're in an apartment, and an acoustic isn't in the cards right now.  I'm looking at a Kurzweil ep500 for $300.  It seems as if it was high end in its day.  I'm hoping to get a little more information before I drive 45 minutes to look at it.

I found the manual online, and it looks good but says nothing about the speakers.  I'm wondering if anyone knows how many speakers and what wattage this piano has.

I also wonder about sample quality and longevity.  Do DPs of the 1990s sound comparable to today's?  And do these pianos generally have long lifespans?

I'm not interested in a cheaper new portable.  I'd like a "furniture" piano that will sit in our living room.

Thanks for any help.
