News about this keyboard has been circulating on the internet for a number of months, and from what I've read on other forums (and maybe even here), it's not an expensive arranger.

Here's another, longer demo, also by Kraft Music:

As more of a piano rather than an arranger player, this 88 key keyboard seems interesting to me. I wonder how it compares with Casio 88 key keyboards.

Once again (darn it) I have to agree with Donny. I guess the piano was passable but everything else pretty much sucked - especially the sax (ugh) and flute. Since it's a Kurz, it probably ain't cheap either.

While Chas and rarely agree on anything, I have to wholeheartedly agree with him on this one. -It's just awful!

Thats because it isnt an arranger at all, it is a Piano with minor added arranger functionallity... Its in the same range as the Kawai es7 and es8 and the Casio PX360 which are not considered arrangers but digital piano's...

The only piano's with full arranger capabillities are the Yamaha CVP series and the Korg Havian series... But those are on a whole different level as this Kurzweil.

I think something about this has been posted before, and from what I remember, was that although it had the Kurzweil name on it, it wasn’t actually a Kurzweil, but a Chinese instrument that had been allowed to use the Kurzweil name. (These days Kurzweil may even be owned by the Chinese)

To prove a point, here is what a 28 year old Kurzweil sounds like. (And things have moved well on with the latest models)

Select

Like a Classic

In addition I cannot fine the KA110 on any of the main Kurzweil websites.
