Sound: Very realistic piano sound. The other tones all sound good, the organs in particular. Feature: The midi out was a huge bonus. Doesn't have a lot of gadgets, but the lack of screens and buttons lend to the elegance of the keyboard. Ease of Use: Plug it in and play. It has a button that cycles through the different voices. very easy to use Quality: seems very solid Value: Since it doubles as a controller, this is well worth the money. 88 key controllers are very expensive. Great digital piano and great controller in one The Wow Factor: Very attractive piano. Wish that zZounds had the wood stand available though Overall: Got this to replace a casio wk200. While it doesn't come with a ton of tones and features, it has great feel and sound. I love that it has a midi port in the back. It works great as a controller. Wish it had a 1/4 inch output, but the headphone jack can be used to hook up an amp. Feels like an instrument and not a toy like alot of keyboards do.

Sound: Personally I like the sounds out of this keyboard. I got it for the piano and Fender Rhodes like sounds. Some complain about the speakers. I have speakers and PA's galore. Not an issue. The keys do not feel cheap and flimsy. Feature: It comes with a power supply and simple sustain pedal. Ease of Use: I like the simple looks and design. No there are not 99 buttons, bells, and whistles most of which never get used. Its clean and functional. The Wow Factor: Simple plain and sexy. Perfect for any small church, hall, home.

Overall: Just can't say enough about this instrument. When I read it had the sound of a grand piano I was skeptical, to say the least, but the the sound is phenomenal and may even have a better sound than my sister's grand. The instrument is well made and durable and is ideal for someone who wants the sound of a piano without the size and weight of a conventional piano or the extra sound features that some with some digital models. Being able to control the volume is tremendous as it allows me to enjoy what I'm doing without inflicting my "talent" on the rest of the family. I hightly recommend this instrument to anyone at all levels of play. And doing business with ZZounds was indeed a pleasure with accurate and quick service.

Overall: This is a great deal! Close your eyes and you would have no idea that a baby grand is not before you. I have been totally impressed with the sound and quality for the price. My home space is limited and I would be cramped with a true piano. The size fits perfectly. The sound selections are impressive. You can even adjust your touch on the stroke of the piano. I am still learning what all of my options are. You won't go wrong with this purchase.

Overall: I'm new to piano, and the Korg SP-170 is a perfect starter keyboard. The keys are weighted just lke a piano. I also like the fact that I can plug a midi cable from the keyboard to my iMac, which works with the piano software I purchased (separately). zzounds is easy to do business with as well. I'd say the only draw back is that after the keyboard came I realized I needed a stand (putting it on a table didn't work for the correct hand positioning) and the midi cable. It would be wonderful if zzounds web site made all the accessory recommendations before checkout process. I did return to the zzounds site to order the keyboard stand and got it for a great deal.

Overall: I've been using Korg products for over 25 years as a professional recording producer, composer, and musician. This is a great keyboard, not only for its weighted keys, sounds, and capability to be utilized in the professional arena; but it is also beneficial for the college student needing something at home to practice for those intense piano proficiency exams. This is a must have for all, and I wouldn't recommend any other!!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
