Korg Digital Pianos

i bought this from bombay, india and paid 45,000 INR. the simplicity of the key board, the weighted keys, and the compactness. like a mobile grand piano. there is no midi thru and usb outputs and more over, some samples are sounding out of tonal quality at the extreme lower and higher octaves. the design is extremely good, its totally rock solid, iron body. the quality depends on how you use it,, i have seen some other stage pianos where the keys are damaged due to rough handling. it is good to go for this product if you have a good sound card and a computer and also a hi end tone generator like triton rack. as far as just performance matters this is the best option for a pro pianist.

I purchased this unit from Mars Music for $799. I needed an affordable keyboard with good piano sound and a real piano feel. It came with a stand and shipping was free. The weighted action is very realistic and the piano sound is good, a big step up from my low-end Roland XP-10 synth, which is a good unit for other purposes. The electric piano sound is good too. I especially like the recording feature, which allows one to play over and over until you get that flawless performance, then I send it to my computer for recording to CD later. This saves a lot of time when trying to record to hard disk. This unit has very few sounds, most of questionable value. I wish it had more than one organ sound, which is a church organ variety. The string sounds aren't as realistic as I would like. This is a fairly heavy unit and may not be for that small, relatively weak person that is looking for portability. I am having trouble finding an affordable case for it as it is a fairly long unit. I certainly don't want to put out hundreds of dollars for a case. This is a heavy, tough unit of high quality construction. Functions are simple to use. I am happy with the SP-100. I've waited a long while to find a unit of this quality for such a good price. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable and portable electric piano with a real piano feel and sound. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought an SP250 to use primarily for stage. I was looking for an 88-key controller that feels good, with at least decent piano sounds, without paying for other bells and whistles I didn't need (sequencers, audio recording features, etc). The SP250 fits the bill very well. UTILIZATION Most importantly, it feels really good. As a lifelong keyboard player, I'll say that I'm very comfortable playing it. The acoustic pianos are good and responsive, and with the velocity curve set to 2/3, they perform smoothly and predictably. Smooth sound, not canned or pinched like a lot of these types of keyboards are. I don't spend much time with the electric pianos, so I don't have much to say about them, except to say that the wurli is only fair. It's usable, but not so good, really. Indeed, a wurli sound was a prerequisite for me in buying this keyboard, so I'm glad there's one at all. Also glad I've got a 200A in my studio for when I need one. No set up required with this board. SOUNDS I like the built in speakers. They sound good, and having them makes it so that I can set it up in the house between gigs, and always have a 'piano' to hop to quickly when the mood strikes. As for gigging, the SP250 fits into a 'slim' case very well, and in general it's reasonably compact. But it's not what I'd call 'light'. It's not nearly as heavy as some other behemoth controllers I've used in the past from Yamaha and Kurzweil. OVERALL OPINION Overall, Notable initial reasons for purchase were that it included the stand, speakers, sustain pedal (that doesn't slide around because it's attached to the bottom of the stand) and sheet music holder. So it doesn't look so bad in the dining room (though I'm sure the Steinway will look 100x better).

The Korg SV-1 73 is a very high quality compact and portable digital piano that is vintage. So get rid of all that bulky vintage gear and go with the KorgSV-1 73. This board has very high quality sounds for such a little board its very powerful. The sounds on this board are amazing and will surprise everyone from the pro down to the beginner. The Rhodes on the Korg SV – 17 3 are very high quality and they are my favorite sound that the Korg produces. The KorgSV-17 3 is very stable and sturdy, its built to last like most of the other models that Korg makes. Korg is known for bringing high quality gear no matter whether its vintage or not. Korg has always had the upper hand over other companies when it comes to sounds. Korg produces very warm and rich full sounding instruments. If you use this board live, that’s how you will get the most out of it. It has a beautiful live sound and look for vintage gear. This board is top of the line, unfortunately is its priced a little high in my opinion. But all of Korg’s gear is pretty high priced. But they stand behind the product that they create and they don’t do price cuts often. So if you get a good deal on the KorgSV -17 3 then I suggest you get it. This board is stocked with beautiful electric sounds. You can even connect via USB to your computer to get more sounds and keep your board updated. I am very happy with my decision to give the KorgSV-17 3 a try. This board is worth the money if you are willing to invest. So if you need a high quality vintage electric piano make the investment in this one.
