New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: Give Kurzweil kudos for showing a new product and actually shipping it within the same half year. The new SP76 and SP88 portable stage pianos are here and they look like real winners. Not only do they have some of the greatest Kurzweil sounds in them (including their awesome pianos), but they work great as MIDI controllers as well. The 76 key SP76 retails for $995 and the 88 key SP88 retails for $1295.
