It’s also recommended as a second instrument for those who already own a piano and want to practice at night. – Affordable yet packed with essential features for first-time keyboard players, this digital piano complements any room and is highly recommended. – This digital piano stands out for its high potential, with a firm touch, quiet keystrokes, and a wide range of ways to enjoy it through the app. Another plus point is that it’s easy to play glissandos.

The award-winning product, the CX302, is a digital piano created under the concept of “Colorful Experience,” with the desire to “make the piano more accessible and enjoyable” and “add color to people’s hearts and lives through music.” While cherishing the keyboard touch and sound we’ve cultivated as a piano manufacturer, we’ve pursued a design that fits into everyday life and reliability that allows for long-term use. The CX302 is also affectionately known as a member of the “Lomiy” family, known as “the piano that creates your first love.” We are deeply honored to have received such high praise in this year’s awards, which focused on the “first piano you should own.” We will continue to work diligently to create products that bring music closer to people’s lives and expand the “time with the piano.” ■What is the Musical Instrument Store Award?
