It is designed to primarily be a piano without the need of ever tuning it and yet being able to practice in privacy using stereo headphones or just turning down the volume output with a volume control.all things a regular acoustic piano cannot do. In other words, this piano is not for someone who wants extensive instrument sound libraries, drum rhythms, interactive chords, extensive multitrack recording features, flash drive inputs, or micro editing features. Other features & functions of the NEO include 2-track MIDI recording and playback, adjustable metronome function, transpose, master volume slider, brightness control, splitting and layering any two sounds together or apart, 24 bit sound resolution higher quality reverb-echo effects to simulate concert halls, and a fairly large 135-note polyphony processing power so that you won't run out of notes when playing more complex piano music. I have not seen this kind of thing in other digital pianos before so that means you cannot mix those 2 particular instrument sounds together in this NEO model, but for the majority of people I don't think this matters. However, the organ sound is electronically and permanently tuned a bit lower and is made to be played independently of the piano sound. I noticed that when I layered a piano and organ sound together at the same time, those 2 sounds were out-of-tune with each other. This model is really for people who mainly want to play piano along with having a few instrument sounds (10 total) including a stereo acoustic grand piano sound with very good dynamic range of tone and volume along with impressive sounding string symphony tones, electric pianos, organs, choirs, and harpsichords. The bench that comes with this piano (pictured upper left) is an upgraded height-adjustable matching bench in polished ebony finish so it looks equally attractive with the piano.Īfter playing this new model many times already, I found it to be simple to use and has enough digital features to make it enjoyable to play in a variety of ways but keeps its focus on the piano sound, piano style key action, and pedaling functions. The cabinet looks completely acoustic and authentic and many digital piano shoppers whom I talk with have been asking for a product like this in a reasonable price range (under $5000) for many years and the NEO may be the perfect solution in its price range.
Even the on-off power switch on the NEO is under the piano so that the piano is clear of any indication that it is digital.which many people will appreciate.
The Kawai piano company is the only other major piano company that has this feature in their top of the line CS10 digital piano which is a fabulous piano and much upgraded over the Samick NEO, but that model retails at $8195 so it's obviously not near the same price range as the Samick. Unlike some other digital piano brands that have an exposed control panel on the left side of the keyboard, Samick has installed their panel into the NEO in such a way that they were able to put a hinged lid cover over it so that all of the controls are completely hidden, and when you look at the piano and you see no buttons at all when the lid is closed. The control panel and buttons are nicely installed in the left side of the keyboard cheek block utilizing an easy to read LED display so the user knows what function they are using.

The Samick NEO upright digital piano is somewhat unique among other digital upright style pianos because it combines a beautiful authentic polished ebony acoustic piano cabinet (with a full size built-in passive soundboard) made by the Samick factory along with a top-of-the-line "Fatar" Italian made quick response piano key action and new digital electronics designed in Germany. The retail selling price of the NEO is $4395US although it is normal to find them for a bit less money in local Samick authorized piano stores. This model is a combination of a very attractive and upgraded Samick actual acoustic piano cabinet with a full size acoustic style soundboard combined along with quality digital piano electronics and buttons which are located in a control panel discretely covered up when the buttons are not being used. Also the NEO is only available at Samick piano store dealers and not on the internet for sale in the US.
