Korg - B2 Digital Piano with 88 Weighted Keys - Black

Product Information

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. On the other hand, the feature is quite frustrating if I’m looking to speed the beat of the metronome up.

I’d seen a review online about the Korg’s new B2, and thought it might be well suited for me because of its simplicity.The weight of the piano keys varies depending on the note they are on since they are graded; the deeper notes feel heavier than the keys inside the higher octave. It’s of vital importance that we make sure we teach our piano students, and ourselves, about the whole spectrum of music. Sampling: This digital piano emulates the sounds of the German concert piano which is a Bosendorfer concert grand piano. In this Korg B2 review, we are going to take an in-depth look, and I will try to show you why this might be the one you are looking for.

The Korg B2 has 12 different sound including 5 Grand Pianos (German, Italian, Classic, Jazz, Ballad), Stage Electric Piano (Wurlitzer-style preset), 60’s Electric Piano (Rhodes-like preset), Digital Electric Piano (DX7-style synthesizer), Harpsichord, Pipe Organ, Electric Organ, Orchestral Strings. You can then choose which finance term you'd like to apply for, and change your deposit if you wish. I like to play live at my local jazz bar a couple of times a month, and I’m considering bring this Korg B2 to my next gig as it allows me to switch between sounds so easily. I’d prefer to be able to change the original amounts of vibrato and rotary speaker modulation, but that’s asking a bit much since this is an entry-level instrument.For those of you who don’t know, Split mode splits keyboard into two parts, each playing different voice (for example Bass in the left hand, and Piano in the right). Rounding out the selection of tones is a harpsichord and strings setting that both do exactly what they say on the tin. Note that from what I have read the hissing sound or “noise” does seem to be common property of any sound systems as long as it is well controlled and not excessive.

Still, unfortunately, the connection itself actually feels very flimsy, and it really won't take a lot of force to break it off completely - something that doesn't tend to happen with, you know, a jack. That feature is only available if you shell out for the PU-2 triple pedal unit, which adds quite a bit to the cost. In a previous life, I worked in music retail, giving advice on all aspects of music creation, selling everything from digital pianos to electric guitars, entire PA systems to ukuleles. The response of the keys can be altered right at the front panel and it is possible to choose between three preset levels, namely light, heavy and normal. If you don’t like the sound that includes in the Korg B2, you can change the sound to your liking using the app.The USB port also allows you to connect mobile apps, such as the Skoove online lessons and the Korg Module app, for more sounds. B2 is a piano for anyone from beginners to seasoned players looking for something comfortable to practice on. The B2SP variation maintains the fully-weighted keys but also comes with a stand and a three-pedal unit. You can use a USB cableto connect this instrument's USB port to your smartphone, tablet, or computer, and use the B2 as a MIDI keyboard to play an external sound module. The piano makes use of the PCM sampling technology which is the basic form of the sound sapling and harmonic imaging in this piano.
