Korg
A heightened level of authentic piano sound and feel. The Korg SP-250 Portable Digital Piano 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 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 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 keyboard 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 Korg 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 keyboard includes a wide spectrum 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.
