PIANOS, KEYBOARDS & SYNTHESIZERS

PEARL RIVER UP95, UP100 SMALL SCALE PIANOS Pearl River’s two small-scale pianos have been crafted in recognition of the growing market for pianos designed for preschool

children and older adults. The new UP95 is a 61-key piano specifically crafted to nurture the musical interests of children under the age of 10. For better playabil- ity, the keys themselves have been narrowed, making the learning experience more accessible and enjoyable. A com- plimentary textbook that is tailored to align with children’s cognitive, psychological and physiological characteristics is included with each UP95. The 69-key acoustic learning piano, the Pearl River UP100, was designed in collabora- tion with Lin Gore, a composer and professor at China’s Sichuan Conservatory of Music, to meet the needs of beginners, amateur music enthusiasts, non-piano-major students in regular schools, as well as those involved in vocal performances and teaching. {pearlriverpianogroup.com}
