Nearly everyone enjoys the sound of live piano music, but sometimes silence is either necessary or just appreciated. With the versatile QuietTime GT-2 system you can control the sound of your piano: with the pull of a lever, you can play your piano silently, hearing your performance exclusively through headphones. QuietTime GT-2 also lets you hear your piano aloud through amplified speakers.

The GT-2 opens a world of possibilities for the creative musician.  Never before has the acoustic piano been able to offer so many features and yet maintain its traditional appeal. This powerful, General MIDI system gives professionals and beginners the flexibility to experiment and create without sacrificing the touch, look and sound of the classic piano.

Features include 88-note polyphony, Record with playback, a built-in metronome, Audio-In and Audio-Out, stereo headphones, built-in sound module (featuring piano and church organ sounds), MIDI-In, Out and Thru, and a piano mute rail.
