Elegant Design Meets Exquisite Sound and Extensive Features!
The UP-1 from Classic Cantabile is undoubtedly a high-class digital piano considering its range of functions and premium keyboard. At the same time, it is priced attractively enough to appeal to ambitious beginners. This makes the attractive UP-1 a true digital piano revolution!
40 Premium Sounds with Multisampling
With a total of 40 sounds, all equipped with multisampling, the discerning pianist has a wide selection of tones to experiment with various moods. From piano to strings, organ, and harpsichord: the UP-1 inspires your creativity with its possibilities. Thanks to multisampling technology, where each piano key has several different samples, the UP-1 upright piano sets new standards in piano sound.
Weighted Hammer Keyboard with Touch Point Simulation and Synthetic Ivory Surface
The weighted keyboard, touch point simulation, and triple sensor of the UP-1 authentically simulate the playing feel of an acoustic piano. The ivory-touch surface of the keys also provides an incredibly high-quality tactile experience. Thanks to velocity sensitivity, the digital piano can be played like a classic piano or grand piano. The keyboard dynamics can be adjusted in 5 levels via the touch response function.
256-Note Polyphony
The UP-1 can play up to 256 notes simultaneously, allowing pieces from various genres (classical, rock, pop, etc.) to be played with stereo sound and simultaneous use of different voices.
USB-to-Host Compatible With Popular Piano Apps
The USB-to-host output serves to connect the UP-1 to computers, tablets, and laptops. Through popular app stores, it is possible to pair the UP-1 with popular piano apps such as Flowkey, Skoove, or Simplypiano. Beginners especially benefit from the learning possibilities; additionally, a variety of recording apps are available. The UP-1 is compatible not only with Android apps but also connects comfortably with iPad and iPhone.
Damper Resonance
The damper resonance function of the UP-1 reliably simulates the inner workings of an acoustic piano. Thus, every pedaled keystroke sounds according to its natural resonance.
22 Built-In Effects
To further refine the piano sound, the digital piano offers a total of 22 effects (10 reverb effects, 12 chorus effects). This ensures the perfect sound for any desired mood.
Layer and Split Functions
The "Layer" and "Split" functions allow two sounds to be comfortably layered and combined. This creates impressive soundscapes. The split function lets you divide the keyboard, so for example, strings can be played with the left hand and piano sound with the right. The volume of each side can be adjusted separately.
Twinova Function
The Twinova function was created for teachers and students, allowing the keyboard and pedals to be split into two halves. This creates two independent keyboards, ideal for demanding piano lessons or practice sessions at home. The pedals can also be distributed individually left and right. This way, it’s like playing two separate pianos on one instrument!
Wide Range of Connections With USB MP3 Player & Recorder
Another revolution is the wide range of connections and the built-in MP3 recorder of the UP-1. The 6.3 mm jack microphone/AUX input also makes the piano attractive for entertainers. With the integrated USB MP3 recorder, recordings can be made directly to a USB stick. The highlight: all signals (vocals, keystrokes, and any external audio sources) are saved in a stereo MP3 file. If the built-in hi-fi speakers do not meet your expectations, the stereo AUX output allows connection to a PA system or active speakers.
Transpose Function
The transpose functions allow the instrument to be transposed in semitone steps. This enables optimal adaptation to other sound environments, tunings, and ensembles.
Metronome and Headphone Outputs
To always stay in time, the UP-1 features an integrated metronome that, besides showing beats per minute, also displays Italian tempo markings (adagio, andante, allegro, etc.). The tempo can be continuously adjusted via a rotary knob. Two headphone outputs allow for undisturbed playing in the evening or at night, in situations where you don’t want to be disturbed.
3 Pedals for Maximum Dynamics
Like a grand piano, the UP-1 offers 3 pedals to influence sound and dynamics. The soft pedal, played with the left foot, the sostenuto pedal, and the damper pedal, which lets notes ring out. The sostenuto pedal sustains already played notes longer. The soft pedal creates a softer sound.
HiFi Speaker System with Preset EQ
For powerful sound, the UP-1 features a built-in stereo hi-fi speaker system, which can be adjusted to your needs via the integrated equalizer with 6 presets.
Especially the arrangement of the 4 speakers enables excellent sound: The two bass speakers are mounted on the underside of the playing table. From here, they radiate sound downwards, with the sound reflected from the floor creating a very natural room sound. As a real highlight in this price range, the two speakers for the high tones radiate directly towards the pianist. This special arrangement results in an extremely nuanced sound image with full character. The USB and AUX inputs also make playback of external sound sources a delight.
OLED Display
The clearly readable OLED display ensures the best overview in every playing situation and shows, besides the selected sound, the metronome tempo, the chosen time signature, and other useful information.
Lacquered Surface
The high gloss versions of the UP-1 are not just coated with a lacquer look as usual, but fully lacquered and polished. This not only shows in the absolutely high-quality appearance but also makes the entire piano much more resistant to accidental bumps on edges and corners.
Piano Bench
This piano bench offers, besides its elegant black high gloss look, premium features such as stable legs with non-slip rubber feet, a smooth, precise spindle mechanism for height adjustment, and a durable, comfortable seat surface with black velour cover. The sophisticated spindle mechanism with double scissor system guarantees smooth and extremely durable height adjustment. Small details like rubber stoppers between the base frame and support frame clearly distinguish this beautiful piano bench from others in this price range.
Headphones
The soft, wide synthetic leather headband of the Pronomic studio headphones automatically adjusts to head size, ensuring a comfortable fit. For extremely comfortable wear even during long sessions, the two over-ear cups are extra large and super soft padded, avoiding too much pressure. Maximum comfort is rounded off by the one-sided cable feed, preventing unwanted cable tangles.
Piano Method
Every beginning is easy – this motto also applies to the new edition of the piano method by Michael Christoph. Anyone afraid that piano is too difficult to learn definitely needs this method. The instrument is introduced and explained to beginners in a playful, relaxed way. Starting with well-known, simple melodies up to two-handed playing of complete songs, a lot of theory knowledge is conveyed alongside. Reading notes, rhythm, dynamics, and much more are covered alongside the exercises. Furthermore, the simple exercises guarantee quick learning success.

De deluxe versie bevat 2 collies, één met bankje, DVD, CD en boekje, de andere de piano.
Het komt als bouwpakket, alles is zorgvuldig verpakt.
Montage:
1) bankje: montage van poten en inleggen van het kussen (bouten en steeksleutel zijn erbij)
2) piano: de balk met voorgemonteerde pedalen en bekabeling, de 2 poten van de zijkant alsook een rugwand en de klankkast met klavier (in het totaal zo'n 28 schroeven en afdekdoppen).
Alle schroeven zijn kruistype, twee schroevendraaiers met aangepaste kop moet je wel ter beschikking hebben.
De klankkast is erg zwaar en 2 personen voor de montage zijn geen overbodige luxe.
Na de montage van onderstel en bovengedeelte dient enkel nog de bekabeling voor pedalen alsook de bijgeleverde voeding aangesloten te worden.
Klank en bediening:
De toetsen voelen uitstekend aan, er zit meer weerstand op de toetsen voor de lagere klanken dan die voor de hogere.
Het klankbeeld is zeer mooi en komt toch wel in de buurt van een akoestische.

As a newcomer after more than 45 years (church organ), I can only highly recommend this very attractively priced instrument, especially since you also get the booklet, the stool and the headphones in the complete package. I ordered the piano light separately (73 euros, gold, also very decorative, especially since it can also be operated with batteries, so you have no cable jamming).

The electric piano makes a high-quality impression on the outside, is very easy to play and has a good sound. In addition, there are many other sound variants and functions, of which we have not yet tried all. (one also does not necessarily have to)
The order went professionally and the piano was well packaged delivered on time to the day. However, a second person should be present during delivery and assembly, because alone bekomment one does not manage the package.
The assembly went easily and quickly, everything was well described. But I also had to look for the headphone holder for a while until I discovered the two holes on the back of the junction box. The instructions could be improved. The only small weak point in the overall package are the headphones - although the sound is okay, the pads are hard and sit uncomfortably on the head. I don't want to play with these headphones for a longer time. But at the price this does not really matter. I hereby give a clear purchase recommendation. Especially ideal for beginners.

Perhaps the mechanics should be trained again, because they did not find the place to attach the headphone holder despite searching. I have then found it myself.

Question by Alexander Kemberg on 17.03.2021

Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
Yes, the UP-1 also has a dual function.
Question by Jeske on 22.12.2020
Hello, does the display show the notes to play in the demosongs or others- like the funkey digital piano dp 88? Thanks and LG
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The display of the UP-1 unfortunately has no note display. However, the UP-1 is much better than the Funkey DP-88 II in terms of sound and especially the keyboard.
