Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The ES-920 B is a seriously impressive stage piano – the action is a real highlight, and the sound is warm and expressive. It's ideal for gigging pianists, music educators, or anyone wanting a portable, high-quality instrument without the bulk of an 88-key digital stage piano. The Bluetooth audio is a nice touch for silent practice or backing track integration.
