How to Choose the Best Digital Piano or Keyboard for Your Sound


A digital homage to a master of the instrument





The engineers and designers at Korg knew the paramount quality of a Chopin-inspired digital piano would be its sounds. And we can’t sing the praises of the Poetry digital piano’s two unique piano sounds enough ? making for 30 sounds in total. On the one hand, there’s the gorgeous voice and historical significance of the 1843 Pleyel concert grand. On the other hand, there’s the magnificent power and balance of the Italian grand piano featured in the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition. These two distinct pianos were sampled to the utmost nuance, and their delicacy and power are reflected in the acoustic-like quality of the Korg RH3 hammer action keybed. These factors make the Poetry the perfect digital piano for those studying classical music! In fact, you’ll also benefit from superior sound quality thanks to the two 25-watt speakers imbued with Acoustage Bass technology for powerful and resonant sound.





Acoustic piano feel from RH3 keybed





Korg understands that classical players need the utmost precision from their instruments, and that’s why they put the RH3 (real weighted hammer action 3) keybed in the Chopin-inspired Poetry. This ensures a realistic performance with all the subtleties of an acoustic piano. That means the RH3 keyboard is heavier in the lower-register keys and lighter in the higher-register. Quickly repeated notes are registered and reproduced with efficient velocity, and even on the most complicated passages, your playing dynamics will be faithfully conveyed. The Poetry also lets users further control the keyboard with selectable sensitivity levels.





Modern features for modern performance





Though the included sound of the 1843 Pleyel harkens back to Chopin’s day and age, you’ll benefit from the Poetry’s modern features! These enhancements include Bluetooth, MIDI in/out, and built-in speakers. With the Poetry’s Bluetooth connectivity, you can play tracks wirelessly for practice or play along with recorded music for live performance. When not playing the Poetry, you can even connect your mobile device merely to experience high-quality playback of your favorite music.
