Korg - B2 Digital Piano with 88 Weighted Keys - Black

Product Information

In terms of weight, 25.1 lbs (11.4 kg) is a good place to be for home-based use and practice. Most entry-level digital pianos fall into this weight class, and it’s ideal if you need to store the B2 when you’re done. Korg may on occasions supply software programs, data files and/or documentation belonging to a third party or parties (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Third Party Software”). If you know anything at all about Korg, you will be aware of their great reputation for producing excellent sounds, and the B2 in no way marries that image. There are 12 really high-quality sounds present, but there aren’t many voices. The piano’s tones impressed us with their clarity and articulation, as well as their pleasing bass end. As we all know, the majority of people only want the piano to sound like, well, a piano, and will never experiment with different sounds. If so, you don’t need to bother about the B2, since it more than meets your piano needs. I’ve never owned a digital piano before but this is the second B2 I’ve had now from two different retailers and the sound is audible when learning to play.

It’s also worth noting that sympathetic and damper resonance is included on the B2 and all its variations. These simulations emulate how neighboring strings are vibrated when you play a note, which further enhances realism. All new products are sold with a 2-year manufacturer warranty which is upgraded to 3 years when bought direct from Korg UK. An e-piano that reproduces the differences in tone that arise from your playing dynamics and even simulates the sound of a key-off. Conjure electric piano sounds that are instantly recognizable from decades of great music. Organ Polyphony is also on the weak side, as it features only 64 notes of polyphony. It is hard to compare this with the B2, as the B2 has varying polyphony depending on the currently selected sound.

However, the limited functionality of the B1 remains and is a massive downside to the B2, especially since other digital pianos have nearly standardized these extras. This world-famous German-made piano is beloved by countless pianists for its diverse range of expressive power. With stunning sonic dynamism and vibrance, its palette ranges from brilliant highs to chillingly detailed lows. The provided sounds include the majestic "German concert piano" and a "Classic piano" noted for its delicate and complex tone. Half-pedaling supported with Optional Pedal unit PU-2 (Sold separately) Connections PHONES (Headphone/ LINE OUT combined use), USB TYPE B), AUDIO IN, PEDAL Controls Power, VOLUME, PIANO PLAY, SOUND, METRONOME Power Supply DC 15 V, AC adapter (included) Power Consumption 8W Amplification 15 W x 2 Dimensions (W x D x H) 1,312 x 336 x 117 mm / 51.65" x 13.23" x 4.61" Static noise from the speakers is pretty common in audio equipment (I’ve received similar comments about many other digital pianos). The noise is most likely coming out of the internal amplifier used to power the speakers. The keys are graded, so the keys at the lower registers are heavier than those at higher registers.

Many of my fellow musicians share the same opinion and regard Sweetwater as their go-to music store. ) The newly minted Korg B2N is all new, designed with the goal of creating a lightweight portable digital piano. The problem is that it still requires an AC adapter and power supply. Support for batteries would have been welcome and is a missed opportunity.That said, these speakers are good enough for practice and clean enough that you won’t miss minor mistakes. Still, I’d go with an external amp if you’re playing for a large room or gathering. Again, we’d like to reiterate that the NH and GHS action aren’t bad, despite being placed low. There are just better options that feel better subjectively. This benefits more than beginners. While using the app, you can choose immediately which level to start from, whether beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
