SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: For a portable digital piano, outstanding. The basic sounds are probably better than the combined / layered sounds. Feature: Pedal design is good; it doesn't move around. The stand is very solid, yet very light. The front control panel is easy to use. Polyphony is adequate for a keyboard in this price range. Ease of Use: Very straightforward. Like most portable digital pianos, not a lot to it. Can be played out of the box. Quality: Excellent. Very solid feel. Keyboard has a really solid action. The piano is also very attractive. The keyboard does not wobble or move on the stand, even though the stand is very light. Value: Very good value. Manufacturer Support: Not required yet.

Sound: I grew up with Yamaha piano, so it took some adjustment to get used to Korg sound. The weight feel is also different than Yamaha. The built in speaker is great, but not the best. It sounds better if you use a good-quality headphone. But I do use the built-in speaker more often due to lazyness to having something over my head all the time :) Feature: Includes pedal, stand. Soundwise it have about 10 instruments (if I'm not mistaken), each has 3 different voices that are similar but different. I mainly use the piano sound only so I don't have much comment about the others. Solid stand, solid pedal. Ease of Use: Quite intuitive to use. But do read the manual, because they have extra features that you won't figure out on your own. Quality: Love it. Altho one thing that I notice when I first got it was there was sort of a soft "click" on one of the note if you wiggle it left-right. But if you put the volume a bit louder, you probably won't notice anyway. Value: Good value for the price Manufacturer Support: Did not have to deal yet. The Wow Factor: I don't really like the color. It doesn't look like a modern cool music instrument. Hahaha.. but again, it's a matter of preference, so I won't complain much about it. Overall: Overall, I love my digital piano and I use it on a daily basis, although I would probably still prefer Yamaha if they were on my budget. This could be biased though, since I grew up using Yamaha, so I tend to prefer their key weights and their sounds. The only thing that I wish Korg could change is the stand. The stand is not adjustable, it's a fixed height. They probably made this with American person as a standard. For me, an Asian, it's hard to find a balance between having a taller chair so I can play the keyboard comfortably, and still having my feet reaching the pedal. I find that's the drawback. Usually Yamaha keyboard heights work better for me... maybe because they're Asian-made? LOL Well, I'm not a heavy user/professional musicians, so I can still live with it. But you may want to consider this fact to try out the height before you go and buy the keyboard.

Sound: This is a pretty lousy sounding piano. The bass is not terrible, maybe a bit dull, but the treble is distorted, unrealistic and several notes are buzzy. Just a real loser tonally. Really cringeworthy on leads. The other instruments available are similarly unrealistic, but I don't care about them since it's a piano sound I want. Feature: Comes with a nice stand and decent pedal. The pedal slides around a lot on the stand but could probably be stuck down with something. Ease of Use: Easy to use. I mean, it's a piano. You bang on the keys and noise comes out. There are 6 piano voices, none of which do a lot. The playability is excellent. The action is a lot better than I expected and I can play faster with better articulation than on my old Roland. Quality: Reasonably well made, nothing falling off, not junky. It is, however, plastic. I'm taking it on gigs and I expect it to get beat up and busted. It'll probably last a couple of years. Value: If it sounded better it would be much more valuable. Manufacturer Support: I did call Korg about the sound, especially the buzzy treble. I got on the phone with a techician quickly, who suggested that this was not normal and I should return the piano. Well, I did and the replacement piano is exactly the same. But the support was good. The Wow Factor: I want a Roland. Overall: A serviceable piano for gigs: fine for backing up a singer, not real nice for leads. Good practice piano because of the excellent action. I bought this on price, and I'm keeping it on price.

Sound: The sound is excellent for under a Grand. The Grand being one of the best sounds on board with the strings and electric pianos close behind. Nice expression to each key all the way across. Feature: Had pretty much every thing I was looking for in my budget, being A nice piano tone and weighted 88 keys with a solid build. Damper pedal and A solid stand complete the package. Ease of Use: Works out of the box. Easy to understand and fun to play. Quality: Solid...I haven't moved it around much but it stay's in place on the stand and has a firm feel. Value: Worth every penny. Nothing else compares at this price range I've seen or played. Manufacturer Support: Haven't yet and hope I won't have to. The Wow Factor: Look's nice in your home or studio. Overall: Works for all My applications. I could see upgrading down the road for regular stage use.

Sound: Very pleased with the sound in general. The 2nd electric piano has excessively pronounced overtones and I don't use it for that reason. Same with vibes. Pianos are great. Feature: Comes ready to play including stand, headphones, and pedal. Nice assortment of sounds and reverb/chorus options. Drum tracks would make it a 10. Ease of Use: Simple. Quality: Completely satisfied except for the overtone issue. Value: Surely worth the money. Manufacturer Support: This was my first purchase and I had many questions. Zzounds was very helpful. Thanks. The Wow Factor: It made me open my wallet. Overall: Eventually, I will move to a synthesizer, but I expect to have this keyboard a long time.

Sound: Very high quality sounds for the price. Pretty good built in speakers. Feature: With pedel and stand included it's got all you need included even music stand rack. Ease of Use: Plug and play, easy. Quality: Case is all pastic but the buttons are fairly solid. Value: Considering the price it's awsome, some pro's use this on stage and they could aford so much more. Clearly worth about $200 more than it costs. Manufacturer Support: N/A Korg ? who knows? The Wow Factor: Very appealing feels good under my hands. Overall: Still one of the best choices in digital piano for under 1000.

Back to Product Information
Sound: While the organ sounds can be used in a quirky temperature, the piano sound is fin, just fine. Not amazing, and doesn't stand the big P.A. test where you start to really hear the degradation of sound quality. However, this keyboard is not meant for use professionally (as the price reflects) so you really get what you give when it comes to stage pianos. The Nord Stage is infinitely better, but when you compare it to the Roland RD700s and Yamaha's of this world it finds it's nesting pool. Personally, if you got the money and work in professional environments regularly go for Nord, if you don't, both the top range Rolands and Yamahas are better but they cost a good bit more. If you're a casual player, get it. It's a steal for the price; if you're a beginner learning the piano, do be aware that no keyboard can compare to a real piano's articulacy, so don't get disheartened if you can't play Rach 3 on it when your time comes Feature: If you've read above and all is ok, then you get what you need with this keyboard Ease of Use: very simply laid out Quality: As far as quality is concerned, I only know this product from playing it 15-20 times so I can't comment too much Value: very reasonable for what you get Manufacturer Support: None The Wow Factor: It looks ok Overall: For beginners, this is ideal. For aspiring musicians, this won't see you through the medium to bigger stages. THe sound and feel just isn't good enough if you can play well

Sound: Lousy sound. Unrealistic piano action. They claim that they keys are realistically weighted. They are not. This is probably one of the worst digital pianos I have ever owned. Korg used to make quality, great sounding digital pianos. It's a shame that they could have produced such an inferior product. I used to have respect for Korg, but now I cannot take them seriously. The piano sampling is, in a word, awful. If I can recommend one thing to those who read this review, keep in mind that ZZounds has a very helpful payment option. Take advantage of that and buy a better quality digital piano from Roland. Expect to spend around $1500 for something decent. If I could do it over, I would have waited to buy a better product. Korg was clearly trying to cut corners "in this economy". That phrase is a contagious excuse for manufacturers to under-achieve. Companies are cutting themselves into failure. Cutting too many corners becomes counter productive and risks damage to a company's reputation. After I'm done paying this off I'll probably sell it to a local store at a loss, but I am ok with that, because I want something better. I still can't get over the fact that Korg would put their name on such an awful product. I guess they stopped caring. Feature: The few features that it did have were flawed. Don't even try to use reverb or chorus because the distortion is terribly obvious. If they wanted to make a good stage piano - give it realistic weighted keys. Give it more (and better) piano sounds. Give users some options to quickly control the volume of each sound. Ease of Use: Turn it on and play. Simple enough but I'm reluctant to call that an accomplishment. Quality: They keys feel cheap. The weighting is terribly unrealistic. The stand that they provide you with is flimsy but I kind of expected that. You wouldn't want to travel with this unit either. It's far too heavy. It's a toy. Value: The price is very good. That should have been enough of a warning to stay away. You get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: I did email the company to inquire about the high number of left speaker failures that I have read about. It took nearly a month for them to get back to me to answer my questions. The Wow Factor: It's not very aesthetically appealing. It has a very plain look and the color resembles department store keyboards. Overall: I plan to sell it ASAP. I'll replace it with a high quality Roland digital or digital grand. I am looking for a true piano sound, and realistic weighted action. Korg has failed miserably to deliver on those two most fundamental features. I wish I had played this before I bought it. That would have been enough to know to wait and keep looking.
