Williams Announces Symphony Grand Affordable, Digital Piano

	Williams' Symphony Grand digital piano

Williams, a provider of versatile digital pianos, has introduced the Symphony Grand digital piano. This micro-grand-style, 88-key, graded hammer-action instrument offers a luxurious ebony gloss finish, a stylish matching piano bench, and a realistic sound and feel.

The Symphony Grand features a custom hammer action keybed for authentic response and playability, offering 174 voices (192MB of ROM samples) including 128 General MIDI sounds and 46 from Williams' exclusive, high-definition custom sound library. The custom sound library features sounds sampled from a famed Italian grand piano, as well as a wide selection of vintage electric pianos and organs. With 128-voice polyphony, you can play naturally, and notes will never be abruptly cut off.

This new digital grand piano offers new realistic effects to recreate natural reproduction of a real piano such as adjustable sustain pedal noise, key release noise, and a specially designed sustain layer that reproduces sympathetic resonance when the user depresses the sustain pedal. These features give the Symphony Grand an exquisitely realistic sound and feel. A Mod/FX feature delivers authentic rotary effects on organs and vibrato on electric pianos. A six-speaker stereo sound system ensures every note sounds rich and clear.

The Symphony Grand is a thoroughly modern instrument, equipped with Bluetooth audio input, USB/MIDI connection for recording and use as a controller, and a USB host port that plays MIDI files from a USB thumb drive. A built-in two-track recorder makes it easy to capture the user's performance. It also includes MIDI I/O, stereo 1/4" and RCA audio inputs (for MP3 players and the like) and outputs, and a headphone jack.

The Symphony Grand includes 120 Style Arranger songs in various genres for real-time playback, along with intros, fills, variations, and endings for interactive performance. The user can easily create keyboard splits and layers and transpose to any key.

A great choice for music education, the Symphony Grand features a song tutor that teaches an assortment of classical, rock, and blues songs. For even more in-depth lessons, Williams has partnered with McCarthy Music to provide cloud-based piano education with a large online music library for every skill level. An onboard metronome helps players develop an accurate sense of time and tempo.

With its combination of elegant style, high-quality construction, superior sounds, and impressive features, the Williams Symphony Grand is a great choice for music students, home performance, churches, schools, and more. The Symphony Grand is in stock now at Guitar Center retail stores and is available for immediate shipment from Musician's Friend and guitarcenter.com.
