Thomann SP-5600 Reviews

Fantastic Piece of kit.

Looking for a decent piano,keyboard without busting the bank,this keyboard has an awful lot going for it,full 88 board ,crazy amounts of sounds and build in drum sounds ,in conclusion this is an ideal beginners piano,but definitely a seasoned player will love it,and for that price,very hard to beat.

Lovely sound and a pleasure to play

Plugged it in and switched on. The Grand piano was the best I've heard. The 'Piano hammer' feel to the keys makes it so much easier to use the touch sensitivity. Disappointed at the lack of 6/8 time in the style. There are so many songs out there with 6/8 I expected more than 3 out of the 230. Heavy to move around easily but it is a full length keyboard. Wish it wasn't 'Made in China!'

Very very good

Sounds and feels very similar to real piano.

Great starter piano

It has a myriad of features and sounds, which I honestly haven’t go to yet. But the “grand piano” sound combined with the weighed keys is perfect for my first steps into playing the piano. This is a pleasure to learn and will surely follow me for many years to come, as my skill and curiosity develop and expand.

We like it

Very good for our daughter for learning.

Bargain

Excellent piano sound, useful sounds, I plan to use it as a master keyboard.

If you can not afford to buy expensive models this is an honest buy. For a beginner it is ideal.

The best electric piano with additional features

The SP 5600 is the best keyboard in tits prize range, with full, 88 keys keyboard. It has more sounds than any other electric piano, and it has additional features, for example. rhythm etc.

I don't regret this purchase, this stage piano is amazing!!

The most amazing electric piano I've ever had! The sound quality is superior. It definitely deserves such price. As a pianist, I highly recommend this one keyboard to all my fellas!!

What a bargain !

I love this keyboard, I have had it for a few years now. I am no keyboard expert, I am primarily a bass player and I just enjoy playing a bit of keyboard from time to time. I particularly enjoy the quality of the piano sounds and the feel of the lovely weighted keys. There are lots of good sounds available on it. I know there are better keyboards out there but for the money paid, I think it is fantastic !

Pros: build quality and sound ok

Quality keyboard

Very good for the relatively low price. Plenty of features and good sound. Does not lack any output connections. The optional stand and chair (deluxe set) that I got are also very good and practical for the given price.

This is class

Honestly, I am so happy with this purchase. I have it 6 months now and am still finding new little features. It's the standard of a more expensive casio/ yahama but half the price.

Quite good low price piano

I'm a beginner so I cannot say a lot about it but it seems to have more features than I'll even need from a digital piano.

I mean the electronic features, maybe one could want more after a while in terms of sound quality and maybe better weighted keys with more sensors, escapement and so on... but for those one might need to pay one order of magnitude more. At this price, this piano is very hard to beat.

thougths on sustain pedal in review

I don't like the sustain pedal. It is very short which increases the risk of getting your toe stuck, and it also requires much more force to push it down all the way than an actual piano. It is however pressure sensitive which would allow you to program the input level through third party software. To me the amount of pressure is just too much. My problems will probably get solved by playing with shoes however! Another problem is that it flops around on a dusty floor. I solved this by placing a matt under my chair which kept the pedal in place.

I would recommend buying a separate sustain pedal like the Roland DP-10. That one feels more like an actual pianos sustain pedal, which is what I like and am used to, and it also has one of these foot flaps attatched to it so it will stay by your foot. No matter what.

The keys on the keyboard also requires a noticable amount of more pressure than an actual piano. Which makes me think the person who made these design choices was very strong. I'd say it is not well suited for children. I would also recommend trying out the keys' feel before buying. I didn't have that opprtunity and I am dreaming of just a smidge softer keys, but I will not be switching keyboards anytime soon. Only the pedal. :)

Great keyboard

I used it for practice classical pieces and modern, as well as composing on logic pro with midi outputs. The hammer response is more than decent and the feel and sound very pleasing.

Great tool to use for midi controls for composing or just playing around with garage band.

love it

I was searching an stage piano to start learning after long time playing a non-weighted one. This one feels and sound very accurate with the best quality/price relationship. Highly recommended.

The piano is of good quality and sound, especially for beginners like me. My only remark is that the speakers are really quite if you want to play at a home party without extra speakers. Could it be good if the cable of the power adapter was longer.

Fantastic quality

This keyboard is superb quality and my son plays twice a day every day.

Great Value for the money

Impressed with the action of the keys at this price. It's a pretty solid piano, and the piano sounds are good. Other sounds are so-so, and would select it I had a need to use those.

The only really bad thing about this is the display, that could do with a major upgrade.

If you are starting out and you do not want to commit too much in buying gear, this an excellent starting point.
