Classenti CDP2 Features
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.
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.
High Resolution PCM Sound Source
The PCM sound source (also used on Yamaha Clavinovas and Roland HP digital pianos) is currently the best way of digitizing natural sounds. The result is an electronic piano that sounds like a real piano.
8 Instrumental Voices
Piano 1, Piano 2, 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
Protects your piano keys from getting chipped; prevents them from getting ruined by liquid spills and stops dust from getting in-between and under the keys.
Built-in Speakers
2 x 20 watts - that’s 40 watts stereo amplification! Big volume range.
Record Feature
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.
Built-in Metronome
No need to buy one, it's built-in. Essential for learning how to play in time.
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
Beautiful, stylish, curved edge design. Places well in any home. The full backboard covers most of the piano's back. This gives the piano more stability. Both feet have solid plastic bottoms which prevents the piano from moving or rocking. The solid bottom feet also distribute the weight well, reducing wear and tear to your floor or carpet.
Fixed Wooden Stand
The wooden stand is included in the price. With just 4 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. Fold away your music desk when your piano is not in use, this will protect it from getting damaged.
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
Connect to your computer and other MIDI compatible hardware.
AUX 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
If you want to give a live performance, connect your Classenti piano to your hi-fi system through the AUX-out (or auxiliary-out).
Keyboard Split
Divide different instrumental voices over the keyboard.
Transpose
Change 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
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.

Quick Glance Differences Between The CDP1 And The CDP2
|
CDP1
~ PCM sound source ~ No sliding key cover ~ Half backboard (reduces piano weight by 3kg) ~ Standard length music desk (straight edged) ~ All buttons are on the display panel ~ 36 cm depth (takes up less room) ~ Speakers (2 x 15 watts) ~ Weight 45kg |
|
CDP2
~ High resolution PCM sound source ~ Sliding Key Cover ~ Full backboard for greater stability ~ Extra long (curved corner) music desk ~ Simplified user panel with only 3 buttons ~ 42 cm depth ~ Speakers (2 x 20 watts) ~ Weight 50kg |
Advantages Of The CDP2 Over The CDP1
The main advantage is the sound. The CDP2’s high resolution PCM sound source produces an even more realistic sound than the CDP1’s standard PCM sound source.
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 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.
You get an extra 10 watts amplification on the CDP2. This results in more volume.
Questions
Why is the action on the Classenti digital piano so realistic?
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.
Value for money
Parts such as the soundboard and sound chip are produced in France. The most important parts of the mechanism are made in Germany. These parts are then shipped to China where the piano is assembled. Labour costs are much lower in China which keeps the overall cost of the piano down.
