You can also use them with a pair of digital piano headphones to avoid aggro with your neighbours or conflicts with your housemates when you’re intent on becoming the next Jacob Collier while they’re trying to watch TV. They never need tuning, offer more than one piano sound, have a much smaller footprint and also weigh much less, with some portable, cabinet-less versions coming in at only 12kg or less. These days, technology has advanced to the point where some digital pianos are practically indistinguishable from an acoustic grand in terms of both sound and keyboard action. There are a number of reasons why you might choose a digital piano over an acoustic one, chief of which is the low-maintenance of digital pianos compared to their acoustic counterparts.

And if you want a more permanent than portable piano, you can add the optional matching CS-68 stand and SP-34 three-pedal unit to your S1100.Ī digital piano is an 88-note keyboard that replicates the feel and sound of an acoustic piano through a combination of authentic mechanical keyboard action and digital sampling technology. Plus, like its predecessor, it's also available in red and white finishes and can be powered by 6 AA batteries for up to 4 hours playing time. With 192-note polyphony, 60 built-in songs and an updated Active Touch Panel Display in glossy piano black, the PX-S1100 looks set to be more than a worthy successor to the S1000.

Of course, if you'd prefer the portability and don't need a matching stand, you can save a little money and just plump for the standard version of the B2, or the Korg B2N, which has a lighter keyboard action and different speaker arrangement.Ĭasio's PX-S1100 is billed as the slimmest 88-key digital piano on the market, with a super-slinky 23cm profile from front to back, yet the action on this instrument, along with the tone from the updated AiR sound engine, belies its affordable price tag.įeaturing the same Smart Scaled Hammer Action keyboard as more expensive Casio models, the S1100 builds on the reputation of the previous S1000 model by adding a newly-enhanced AiR grand piano tone, Bluetooth audio and MIDI (via an included Bluetooth adapter), direct-to-USB audio recording and playback and a redesigned speaker system. The three-pedal arrangement only adds to the appeal, offering a big improvement over the separate single pedal that ships with the standard B2.Īlthough it could be described as comparatively feature-light amongst its peers, the B2SP offers players a great-sounding, no-nonsense instrument at a very attractive price.
The B2's keyboard action is smooth and responsive, with an easy feel that's perfect for beginners to get to grips with, and the acoustic piano tones are bright and articulate, with a rich and solid low end. The good news is that you can also get the B2 experience in a more living room-focused format in the shape of the B2SP, which bundles a matching stand and three-way pedalboard with your B2, giving it the look of a slimline console piano. Korg's B2 portable digital piano has proven to be a big success with those needing an authentic-sounding piano to take on their travels.
