“I don’t want to spend a fortune, they probably won’t stick at it for long”
This is one of the most common things we hear from parents buying an instrument for their kids…sound familiar? If so, the NK-009 could be the answer to your prayers. Packed with features that you’d only expect to find on much higher priced models, this keyboard offers essential learning facilities but is also crammed full with enough fun sounds and rhythms to keep the kids amused!
This 61 note keyboard features 136 Timbres (instruments & sound effects), 128 backing rhythms & accompaniments, 40 demonstration songs, a pitch bend wheel and a MIDI output for computer connectivity. The keyboards impressive sound comes from the built-in speakers which feature a bass boost system…parents will be pleased to hear that there is also a headphone socket for silent practice! The keyboard comes with a detachable music stand and, unlike home keyboards from Yamaha and Casio, it also comes supplied with a power supply.
Great For Beginners
When learning to play the keyboard it is advisable to get one with full size keys (the same key width as a standard piano). The NK-009 features 61 full size keys (5 Octaves) and is velocity sensitive. This basically means that the harder you press the keys, the louder the sound…allowing you to add expression and dynamics to your performance just like with a real piano. Other essential learning aids that this keyboard features include a metronome and a large backlit screen with notation display. This simply but effectively displays the relationship between the key being played and where that note would be on a musical stave…a great help for those starting out reading music.
Fun Stuff
As well as educational advantages, this keyboard features plenty of fun stuff to mess about with. In addition to standard instruments, there are sound effects such as telephones and helicopters, a drum and percussion kit, over 100 rhythms and accompaniments and 40 demo songs.
Unlike other portable keyboards ours come with a UK mains adaptor INCLUDED in the price
