Korg - D1 88 Key Digital Stage Piano - Black

If you want a beginner piano that has the action of an expensive piano, go for this. The RH3 keybed is beautiful, and it used in a lot much more expensive models.The box mine arrived with was a little banged up, but the actual keybed seemed safe, apart from a few loose screws probably from vibration etc.It's a joy to play on and all keys have the action of an actual piano so you get the most out of your playing! It doesn't include speakers and that's fine, it doesn't need them since most in-built speakers on keyboards are pretty bad. Just hook up any speakers you'd like, or headphones. It has the standard connections to do so!

Take care, this arrived all the way from China and was damaged on the way. I've nothing against Korg and this came with excellent independent reviews. But I was unable properly to test the quality of the instrument owing to the fact that the whole lower bass octave was unplayable (keys stuck) and the top octave very similar. The sustaining pedal seemed to reverberate far too long, but this might have been because of the damage, I couldn't tell. But it wasn't nice! Thinking twice about buying it again, unless anyone can tell me otherwise and this was just bad luck. Seemed a good price for a sound, middle quality instrument and I've had Korgs before and they have served very well. But not this particular one.

Feels like a real piano and sounds like one too

At least five of my keys are broken, and it takes a lot of effort for me to take it home or return it

This piano features the RH3 real hammer action keyboard , which makes it the best feel of this kind of digital piano. It is heavy though & if you're just beginning , I'd suggest the Korg B2 , less sounds , much cheaperin the Korg D1The sounds are all very good , 30 in all , & minimal effects . it's easy to use .Its perfect for those who want to play a real piano. , the various piano sounds are beautiful.The electric piano sounds are also very good & suit all genres of pop, funk, soul ,There are organ sounds & for church musicians some lovely pipe organs , strings & choir . plus a realistic nylon guitar & vibraphone.No speakers , but headphones will sort that & for stage work , you'd be using high powered speakers .What you are getting is a simple , rugged piano for gigging , if I was buying it just for home use , then I'd probably just buy a Korg B2 , a lot cheaper , around £300 , light weight with speakers & 12 sounds.or the Korg 280 , which has same 30 sounds with built in speakers . neither of these have RH3 keybed , though the action is good.But can you beat the D1 , real hammer action, ? RH3 , well I've tried some top pianos by leading manufacturers & I always came back to the RH3 , it might be my personal choice , but I think it's the best there is.You could buy a Korg Stage Vintage , the new one has speakers , with same keybed & loads of sounds , but it's £1800 for 88 keys or £1700 for 73 keys. great retro piano , lots of knobs n effects.My advise is this will do the job, nothing fancy , it's a digital piano. The Korg D1 , I want one .

Difficult review, this, because it's in two parts.The piano is fine. Decent action, Korg's best, there are better, but they come at a price - if you have the money, consider the Roland FP-90, that's lovely. But, excellent piano for the money, and a great idea - strip back to the essentials, and make those essentials as good as they can be.But, the thing is delivered by My Hermes. The first one came to me clearly dropped hard, and with two keys smashed at the bottom end. Also no manual, which suggests to me it was a return in the first place.That was replaced with another, which had also been dropped in transit, though appears to have survived intact.Review in short: I'd buy the piano, but I'd spend a few more quid and buy it from someone who understands that you can't drop pianos and get away with it.I would note that Elijah who handled my complaint at Amazon did so in exemplary fashion and is a credit to company. The delivery was quite the opposite.

The Korg arrived with the last four keys not working. The headphone output was almost non existing.. Very low output. The Korg may have been injured in delivery. I'm sure seller was unaware of it being damaged. Thanks

Ha tutto ciò che serve per essere un bel piano, lo é esteticamente, ha discreti suoni interni dimesioni compatte e una suoer taastiera al tocco

Soeben das bei Amazon Warehouse mit folgender Beschreibung gekaufte Korg D1 nach 5 Tagen erhalten:"Zustand: Gebraucht - Sehr gut - Kleine Schönheitsfehler an der Ober- oder Vorderseite oder an den Seiten des Artikels. Der Artikel befindet sich in der einwandfreien Originalverpackung."An dieser Beschreibung stimmte rein gar nichts. Weder war die Verpackung einwandfrei und erst recht nicht das Gerät: Die Tastatur vollkommen zerstört (große Teile der Tasten lassen sich gar nicht mehr drücken, andere sind verschoben, Grasteile zwischen den Tasten, abgebrochene Plastikteile, das Gehäuse ist zerkratzt, Bedientasten lassen sich teilweise ebenfalls nicht mehr nutzen. Totalschrott. Das Gerät wurde bis aus Italien nach D geliefert. Eine absolute Frechheit, Zeitverschwendung und Umweltsauerei zugleich. Geht natürlich zurück.

Prodotto ricevuto con ammaccatura ed un tasto rotto, purtroppo l ho dovuto restituire. Peccato perché è uno strumento entry level con bei suoni, ed ottima meccanica RH3, PECCATO DAVVERO

This is an amazing digital piano. The weighted keys feel great and the sound is awesome. This is my first purchase of a digital piano, as I have an upright piano at home. I purchased this because I wanted something I could play at night without disturbing others in the house, and to travel when I am going to be away from home for a while.The feel of the keys is as good, if not better, than any other digital pianos I tried before buying this. I read a ton of people claiming other pianos had better keys, but I believe they have a bias because they are used to their current digital piano and this just felt different to them.The piano itself is very compact. It has a standard headphone jack on the front, and both mono and midi connections on the back. The quality audio from the headphones is great (I have AKG K702 headphones). I have also fed it into my usb audio interface and played back through the PC, which was also good (been using flokey's website for new songs to learn).SHIPPING: This is more a problem with the shipping company then the retailer or the piano, but this package showed up in terrible condition. The box had obviously been dropped, and the side had been torn open and taped back closed. The piano itself was exposed and could have easily been damaged. Luckily mine had not suffered any cosmetic damage. I have this problem regularly when ordering heavier objects, the carriers drop them 50-60% of the time. I would happily pay additional shipping to have these kinds of purchased placed in additional packaging to protect them further.
