Fame DP-8600 BT Black Digital Piano

The keyboard

A real hammer keyboard that lets you feel how the hammers (simulated) hit the strings. You feel the pressure point and the weight of each key (the big difference to a keyboard). The built-in 3 sensors make the DP-8600 BT BK V2 very dynamic to play. The stronger you strike, the more brilliant the sound. The surface of the keys is made of a substance similar to ivory, which does not feel slippery even with sweaty hands. Even years of playing can be tolerated by the keyboard without feeling "clattery". The keys themselves have an ivory-beige colour Finish and are not snow-white.

The piano sound:

The modern high-performance processor with a polyphony of 256 voices produces a very realistic piano sound. In the low range the powerful basses, in the middle range beautiful mids and in the treble a lot of brilliance. Due to the three-stage keyboard scan, you not only play loud or soft per key, but also various levels in between. This makes playing very lively and realistic. Beginners will only notice this advantage when their game has become fluid.

Large selection of timbres

Even if the piano & grand piano tones are in the foreground, furthermore there is a whole orchestra of instruments at your disposal: 181 instruments in total. From a range of piano tones to classical strings, harpsichord, saxophones, trumpets, accordion, and flutes, there is almost anything you could wish for. By the way, you can also connect two instruments together respectively superimpose them; eg. Piano and strings.

Built-in effects processor for reverb and chorus.

This sounds very technical at first, but it's not. The effect processor simply creates a room sound ( REVERB ). It transforms your living room into a concert hall. This is very impressive. Suddenly you are sitting with your instrument on stage in a concert hall. You can set the size of the concert hall yourself. But the effects processor can do even more. It can also create different chorus effects. Hard to describe, you have to hear it.

60 pieces to replay

Even if you have the sheet music in front of your eyes, you know how hard it is to play some passages from the sheet. That's why the DP 8600K BT BK V2 offers 60 well-known pieces to replay. It starts with the Entertainer and goes up to the Elise. You choose the speed. Really a great help to rehearse the well-known pieces that every piano player wants to know.

Large display

This makes it easier to operate. With some other piano models in this price range, programming without a Display is not easy. A lot of settings have to be made in a very small space to the left of the keyboard. Much easier with the DP-8600 BT BK V2.

Built-in metronome

This replaces the old metronome that used to sit on top of every piano and tell the student the correct beat. You can't learn without it!

The beautiful case

No other electric piano under 1000,- is visually as successful as the DP-8600 BT BK V2. With its 59 kg the instrument looks very massive. All parts are made of stronger material. The side panels with the sturdy brackets, the heavy case cover, and the keyboard cover that neatly encloses the keyboard. The "version 2" has a closed back panel. This not only gives the entire construction more stability but also spoils the eye with an even more valuable appearance. Everything makes a representative impression. The piano also cuts a fine figure in a beautiful setting. The matte black lacquer gives the instrument an appealing finish!

Twinova, dual sound and keyboard split

equal a number of other possibilities: Twinova splits the keyboard into two tonally equivalent sections, allowing the piano teacher to play the same piece in his or her section as the student is asked to reproduce.

Two timbres at the same time

Underlay your piano sound with e.g. a string orchestra. This sounds fantastic!

Keyboard Split

The name says it all. You can split the keyboard into two sections so that you can play a plucked bass with the left hand and an organ sound with the right hand, or play soft string chords on the left and a harpsichord on the right.

Piano Accompaniment Arranger

Those who want to play hits and evergreens in addition to classical music usually have a problem. It takes a lot of practice to play a good accompaniment with the left hand to modern pieces. With the built-in piano arranger, it is very easy. For example, if you want to play boogie-woogie, select "Boogie Woogie", press only one chord with the left hand and the arranger will conjure up a perfect boogie-woogie accompaniment. Now you only need to play the melody with the right hand. The same goes naturally also with Swing and South American rhythms. A total of 50 different piano accompaniments are at your disposal. Your audience will be amazed because you play like a modern bar pianist.

But attention! This is not an automatic accompaniment like on the keyboards, where "a thousand instruments plus drums" sound. The accompaniment plays only piano accompaniment chords, as a trained pianist would do.

Various connection options: Bluetooth, USB stick, MP3 player

Once you can run your piano through your stereo system, which can add to the volume of sound if you have a good system. But you can also connect your computer if you want to be creative and create your own songs. Or you can connect an MP3 or CD player via the AUX jack. As another highlight, there is also Bluetooth and USB. Via Bluetooth you can transfer songs from your cell phone to the DP 8600K BT BK V2 and play them. And if you want to record and save your tracks, plug a USB stick into the available jack.

Three pedals

Even though in the learning phase you will first use only the right pedal, that is, the pedal with which you add sonority to your playing. As long as you keep it depressed, the notes will "stand still" and only slowly fade out. The other two pedals have the function of dampening the overall sound, and the sostenuto pedal has the very specific task of holding only a particular chord or sequence of notes longer. A function you will use much later.
