Equipped with 88 keys, the standard for full-range pianos, it offers a complete octave span that caters to a wide repertoire, from classical to contemporary music.

The keys are designed to facilitate nuanced performance and dynamic expression, making this piano an excellent choice for musicians who demand a high level of control and sensitivity from their instrument.
