It never needs tuning and can be used with headphones to avoid disturbing others. Furthermore, a variety of additional features will inspire new levels of creativity in players of all abilities and enhance their enjoyment of music, including 30 superbly realistic instrument sounds, Bluetooth audio streaming, and onboard recording. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the Korg C1 redefines the digital piano.Premium QualityThe Korg C1 digital piano features a Real Weighted Hammer Action (RH3) keyboard that divides the hammers into four different weights, with a heavier feel in the low register and a lighter feel in the high register as found on concert grand pianos. The entire process of making the C1, from making this keyboard to assembling the complete instrument, is carried out in Miyama-cho, Nantan-shi, located in the Nantan region at the center of Kyoto prefecture that is one of Japan's most famous tourism spots, noted for its preservation of numerous historic houses.RH3 Keyboard Provides a Great-Feeling Playing ExperienceThe C1 features the real weighted hammer action 3 (RH3) keyboard that accurately simulates the playing experience of a grand piano, with a heavier playing feel in the lower register that becomes lighter as you move up the keyboard. It is extremely responsive, even when notes are repeated quickly, while the performer’s expressive dynamics are faithfully interpreted even in the most complex passages. Key touch control is also provided, with a choice of five levels of sensitivity (light, normal, heavy, stable, fixed) to specify how your playing dynamics are reflected by the sound produced.Sophisticated and Elegant DesignWhile paying homage to the acoustic piano’s traditional form, a new design philosophy elevates the C1 above many digital pianos' bland, rectangular appearance. The contemporary design features linear legs which accentuate the overall styling of the instrument and, at only 26 cm (10.24-inch) in depth, the C1 can be placed virtually anywhere. Keeping safety in mind, the cover uses a soft landing mechanism to ensure that it closes gently. The C1 is available in a black, white, or brown wood finish to match the décor of your room. (Excluding the anti-tip hardware).Tradition and Technology in Harmony Create a Concert Grand Piano Virtually AnywhereThe sound of a piano changes significantly depending on how it is played. To provide this high level of expressive power from a digital piano, professional pianists selected two concert grand pianos, regulated and tuned by master technicians, and sampled by Korg engineers. This complex process enables the C1 to simulate the experience of playing either a German grand or a Japanese grand and was chosen to reflect a broad musical spectrum providing faithful recreations of dark, subtle, and intense classical music through bright and powerful jazz and pop music. The C1 gives you a natural and satisfying grand piano performance at home, on stage, or in the studio.
