KORG D1 - Digital Stage Piano with RH3 Keyboard and 30 Sounds

The KORG D1 is a professional digital piano without built-in speakers, designed for pianists who require the realistic touch of a grand piano in an ultra-slim, easy-to-transport body. Its Japanese-made RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) keyboard features a graded, weighted action—heavier at the bottom and lighter at the top—that faithfully reproduces the acoustic feel. The stereo PCM sound engine integrates 30 timbres in three banks, including acoustic and electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, vibraphone, acoustic guitar, and strings. With 120-voice polyphony , 9 temperaments , tuning and transpose controls, and advanced resonances (damper and key-off ) on its pianos, the D1 performs at its best in the studio and live.

Its compact chassis, measuring just 263 mm deep, makes it easy to transport and install on stages, in classrooms, or at home. For live performance or recording, it features standard-sized LINE OUT L/MONO and R outputs , plus MIDI IN/OUT for use as a controller or sound module. Layer mode lets you layer two sounds instantly, and a half-pedal-compatible damper pedal is included for expressive control. A music stand and power adapter complete the package, ready to play.
