The NH keyboard provides the player with an expressive response, suitable for all types of music.

Also provided are settings for two effects: reverb and chorus.
Included music rest for sheet music and mobile devices
The removable music rest features a wide, spacious design. There's enough space to spread out several sheets of music, reducing your need to turn pages while performing. You can also place sheet music beside your iPad or other tablet.
