A heightened level of authentic piano sound and feel.

The SP-250 Portable Digital Piano from Korg features an outstanding stereo piano sound matched to a third-generation, RH3 graded-action keyboard. The SP-250 Digital Piano is the perfect answer for any pianist looking for rich piano sounds and the convenience of a lightweight, portable instrument.

Superb Piano Sound
The robust sound of a concert grand piano has been carefully sampled for the SP-250. Differences in playing dynamics and position in the stereo field have been faithfully captured, delivering naturally expressive piano sounds that recreate every detail. The SP-250's all-new piano samples are longer than other pianos in its class. Increased length means the piano sound sustains more naturally, so the piano sounds more real throughout the performance, not just at the attack. Three versions of this piano sound are provided to cover different tastes and genre needs. The SP-250 also features a vintage electric grand sound, as well as an authentic honky-tonk piano.

Grand Piano Playing Experience
The SP-250 is the first Korg digital piano to feature the all new RH3 real weighted hammer action. This state-of-the-art mechanism features differing key weights in each register of the keyboard, delivering the same playing experience as a grand piano. The keyboard is exceptionally responsive, even when playing quickly repeated figures, to preserve every expressive nuance of the performer. The Key Touch Control provides three selectable touch curves, delivering the perfect touch sensitivity for every playing style or type of song. Yet even with such a robust keyboard, the SP-250 weighs less than 42 pounds.

A Wide Palette of Sounds
The SP-250 includes a rich array of sounds that will extend your performance possibilities. An assortment of classic electric pianos (reed and tine styles), church and jazz organs, string and choir sounds, harpsichord and clav(s), even mallet percussion and guitar sounds are available at the touch of a button. Two sounds can be layered together to play simultaneously; and of course you can adjust the balance to get the perfect blend. 30 demonstration songs ranging from classics to originals are built in, showing off all the sounds in a variety of musical genres.

Dual Effects
To further enhance the sound, the SP-250 provides both a Reverb effect that recreates the spaciousness of a concert hall, and a Chorus effect that adds a colorful depth to the sound. The effects settings have been optimized for each individual sound and the user can choose from three levels—Light, Normal and Deep—to complement his or her performance.

Style and Versatility
The chic black design is highlighted by metal and wood-grain accents, with a solid music rack included that mounts in seconds. The control panel is simple and easy-to-use and includes 19 LED indicators for instant visual feedback.

Full Range Sound System
The SP-250 contains a custom system featuring two 10cm dual-cone speakers matched to a pair of 11W amplifiers that beautifully reproduces its rich sounds. The bass-reflex speaker system ensures that every bit of the deep resonances distinctive to a great piano will be heard.

Stand and Pedal Included
The SP-250 includes a high-quality damper pedal that is an integral element to proper piano performance. It provides the ultimate expressive control thanks to half-pedaling, which is a variable damping effect based on how deep you press the pedal, rather than the simple on/off switch found on less-expensive instruments. The dedicated stand is both simple and stylish, and fits securely into a recessed area in the bottom of the piano providing a remarkably solid feel. The stand's lower crossbar even prevents the pedal from creeping forward in performance. Best of all, the SP-250 can be easily removed from the stand for moving and taking around for live performances.

Convenient Features
Two sets of headphones can be connected simultaneously, for student and teacher use or family enjoyment. Thanks to stereo outputs, you can listen to the sounds of the SP-250 through external speakers, great for professional performances, schools and places of worship, and for recording purposes. MIDI In/Out jacks connect the SP-250 to a synthesizer or other MIDI-equipped device (computer/sequencer) allowing the SP-250 to be used as both a master keyboard and a 16-part multitimbral sound module for performance and composition.

The Key Transpose function lets you shift the pitch of the instrument to match the key of a singer, or to play along with your favorite CDs. An onboard Metronome is convenient for practicing. You can add an accent to the first beat (with normal or bell sounds), and adjust its volume. There's also a dedicated slider for easy adjustment of the tempo.

In addition to equal temperament, the SP-250 provides the two most common Baroque and Classical era tunings (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for historically-accurate performances.

Very Nice Piano

Posted by Daniel from Atlanta on Aug 17, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Classical, Rock

I am a classical pianist, but I also rock out with the church band. This keyboard fit my needs perfectly. While not ideal for performing Chopin or Mendelssohn, this keyboard allowed me to practice without leaving my dorm room. It has all the sounds a church keyboardist would need, and they sound great. The strings and synth pad are wonderful. My favorite sound is the Bright Piano; the default sound is a little dark for contemporary music, but ideal for practicing classical. I highly recommend this to anyone... don't spend over $1,000 on a Yamaha that's just as good.

Great Church Piano

Reviewer's Play Style: Gospel

I bought this for our youth group. We have new piano players with limited abilities and it fits perfectly. There are not many options as far as sounds go, but for us that is perfect. We just needed a weighted keys keyboard with a good piano sound. The sounds that are on the keyboard are great and I Love it.

My SP-250

I'm a formor owner of a Fender Rhodes piano and I just have to say that this Korg SP-250 is the closest thing to the real thing!I love it! Really - the only difference is the weight of the instrument. If I remember correctly I think that the play on the Korg is even better than the Rhodes. Anyway... the bottom line is this - I love it, and if you were a former Fender Rhodes electric piano owner... you will find that this is the answer for your needs. The Fender Rhodes lives on through the Korg SP-250!!!
