A Keyboard like no other
LUMI takes music from black and white to technicolor. You can see it the moment you turn on LUMI Keys, the brightest RGB-illuminated keyboard ever made.
An app that makes playing fun
LUMI Keys is powered by the LUMI Music app. It’s where you pick songs and decide how you want to play them. No matter what you choose, you’ll have fun as you learn.
