Elegant Design Meets Exquisite Sound and Extensive Features!
The UP-1 from Classic Cantabile is undoubtedly a high-class digital piano considering its feature set 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 demanding pianist has a wide range of tones to experiment with different moods. From piano to strings, organ, and harpsichord: the UP-1 inspires your creativity with its possibilities. Thanks to the 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 Touchpoint Simulation and Synthetic Ivory Surface
The weighted keyboard, touchpoint 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, enabling the performance of pieces from various genres (classical, rock, pop, etc.) 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 with computers, tablets, and laptops. Through popular app stores, it is possible to link the UP-1 with common piano apps such as Flowkey, Skoove, or Simplypiano. Beginners especially benefit from the learning opportunities, and there is also a wide selection of recording apps 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 with 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 divides the keyboard, enabling, for example, strings on the left hand and piano sound on the right. The volume of both sides 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 advanced piano lessons or practice sessions at home. The pedals can also be assigned separately to left and right. This allows playing as if on two separate pianos with just one instrument!
Wide Connectivity with USB MP3 Player & Recorder
Another revolution is the wide connectivity and built-in MP3 recorder of the UP-1. The 6.3 mm jack microphone/AUX input 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, keyboard playing, 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 with beats per minute display and Italian tempo markings (Adagio, Andante, Allegro, etc.). The tempo can be adjusted continuously via a rotary knob. Two headphone outputs allow quiet playing in the evening or at night, when 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 allows excellent sound:
The two bass speakers are mounted under the playing table. They project sound downward, with the floor-reflected sound creating a very natural room ambiance. As a real highlight in this price range, the two tweeters direct the high frequencies straight to the pianist. This special arrangement results in an extremely nuanced sound with full character. Thanks to the USB and AUX inputs, playback of external sound sources is also a treat for the ears.

Comfortable and Stable Piano Bench
This piano bench offers, besides its elegant look, high-quality features such as stable legs with non-slip rubber feet, a smooth, precise spindle mechanism for height adjustment, and a durable, comfortable seat covered in velour. 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 set this beautiful piano bench apart from others in this price range.
Headphones
The Pronomic KH-900 is a professional stereo headphone that combines excellent sound characteristics with maximum wearing comfort at a budget-friendly price. The soft, wide synthetic leather headband automatically adjusts to head size, ensuring a comfortable fit. The KH-900 covers a wide frequency range from 15 to 25,000 Hz, delivering balanced, nuanced sound with brilliant, clear highs and precise, rich bass. Thanks to the low impedance of only 32 ohms, the KH-900 performs impressively even on very low-power headphone outputs such as MP3 players or smartphones. The 3.5 mm stereo jack plug ensures excellent transmission quality. A 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter is also included.
Piano Method
The beginner is introduced to the instrument in a playful, relaxed way. Starting with familiar, simple melodies up to two-handed playing of complete songs, theory knowledge is also conveyed alongside. Reading notes, rhythm, dynamics, and much more are covered alongside the exercises. Additionally, the simple exercises guarantee quick learning success.

Questions about product
Question by Carmen Inarrea on 01.10.2023
Does this piano have a Graded Hammer Standar keyboard? Thanks in advance.
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
This piano has a Graded Hammer keyboard with Ivory Touch and pressure point simulation. In terms of feel, comparable to the GHS keyboard on Yamaha pianos.
Question by Jenni on 15.08.2023
How long does it take to assemble and disassemble the piano?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
Approx. 30 minutes on average. Instructions are included in the delivery.
Question by Kai Beste on 15.03.2021
Good evening,
have great interest in the piano. My question: Is the piano compatible with apps like simplypiano or similar ?
Kind regards,
Kai
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The USB-to-Host output allows you to connect the Classic Cantabile UP-1 to a PC or tablet and easily use apps like Simply Piano, Flowkey or Skoove.
Question by Krystian on 18.01.2021
Hello,
Does the piano need to be assembled?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The shipping box contains 5 individual parts of the digital piano. It consists of:
- console
- Feet (2x)
- pedal unit
- back panel
The complexity of the assembly does not exceed that of a standard cabinet and should therefore be easy to master. On the article page you will find an assembly video of another piano, which illustrates the process well.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Question by Mary on 16.08.2020
I am starting fresh now. Does the piano still need to be tuned or does it work like this?
And if I connect the headphones, can others not hear me play? That would be important for a Sunday in the house, for example.
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The UP-1 is a digital piano and therefore never needs to be tuned. As soon as you plug in the headphones, the speakers are muted and thus almost silent playing is possible.
