Compact and cost-effective, the KORG B1 Digital Piano is the right choice for your piano needs. The streamlined design delivers the key features most important to any pianist: an authentic keyboard touch, superior sound, and ease of use.
To achieve the deep, rich tones of an acoustic piano within its compact body, the B1 Digital Piano relies on KORGâs servo-assisted MFB technology, a pair of full-range speakers, plus a passive radiator. Together, these elements reproduce the rich resonant tones that emanate from the large body of an acoustic piano, with particular attention paid to the low-frequency range.
Eight expressive instruments sounds
As with all digital pianos, the KORG B1 uses sampling technology (multiple digital recordings) to capture and recreate the rich, vibrant tone of an acoustic piano. As sampling technology has continued to improveâand as digital memory components have become more abundantâthe KORG B1 Digital Piano is able to deliver a more accurate, authentic, and expressive sound than instruments of just a few years ago.
In addition to capturing the enormous tonal range of a grand piano, the meticulously-sampled sounds created for the B1 Digital Piano also reproduce the sympathetic string vibrations and damper resonances that give the piano its character.
The B1 Digital Piano is equipped with KORGâs NH (Natural Weighted Hammer) keyboard action. This Natural Weighting provides a heavier touch in the lower registers, transitioning to a lighter touch in the upper regionsâjust as on a traditional piano. The dynamic response of the keyboard can be set to match the playing style of any performer.
Modern Design
The efficient design of the B1 Digital Piano encourages you to enjoy playing and minimizes distractions. Sleek and streamlined, the compact body houses the built-in speaker system, yet weighs only 26 lbs. (11.8 kg.) allowing for east transportâif needed. The depth barely exceeds 13 inches (336 mm), making the B1 Digital Piano extremely agile and versatile when it comes to placement.
The metal damper (sustain) pedal provided with the B1 Digital Piano provides a reassuring stability and a great feel underfoot. While the single damper pedal is ideal for many pianists and performers, an optional three-pedal unit (PU-2: separately sold accessory) is available for the piano purist.
By activating the Partner Mode, the keyboard is effectively split into two side-by-side keyboardsâeach pitched in the same range. This allows the student and teacher (or parent and child) to play the same passages at the same timeâthe perfect way to learn a difficult lesson. In a classroom setting, two students can share a single instrument.
