Full Description

Responsive Feel, High-Quality Playing Experience

The Pa900 has 61 semi-weighted, naturally responsive key action with aftertouch, that feels great. The intuitive design is easy to use for musicians of all abilities and feels as high-end as it looks with a silver body and aluminium side panels.
