Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano

Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano Review



Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano Feature

  • 88 notes , keyboard
  • Touch Control: Light, Normal, Heavy
  • Sound Generation: Stereo Sampling System
  • Programs: 30 sounds (5 Pianos, 7 Electric Pianos, Harpsichord, 2 Clavs, Vibraphone, Marimba, Acoustic Guitar, 3 Jazz Organs, 3 Church Organs, 3 Strings, 3 Choirs)
  • Metronome: Tempo, Time Signature, Accent and Volume controls
The Korg LP-350 is designed to visually complement nearly any living space. Less than 11 inches deep, the slim-line styling is both space-saving and efficient. When not in use, the thoughtful design of the LP-350 leaves a smooth, flat top with absolutely no protruding hinges, allowing the LP-350 to become part of your room's decor. Yet in spite of its slim-line profile, the LP-350 is equipped to provide a robust and accurate piano performance, complete with grand-touch action, all three pedals, and a powerful speaker system to deliver a rich piano sound. The LP-350 digital piano is available in two colors - classic black, or a restful and elegant white - each with metallic silver accents that add a modern touch. The LP-350 features our finest piano touch and feel, using our RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3). Just as on a traditional grand piano, the keyboard of this digital piano provides a heavier playing touch in the lower register, becoming progressively lighter towards the upper keys. Refinements designed for capturing rapidly repeated strikes ensure that the pianist's expressive abilities will not be impaired even during fast passages. Three levels of touch sensitivity are available using the Key Touch Control function, allowing you to customize the dynamic response to your own playing style. As a measure of environmental responsibility, Korg does not use lead in the keyboard hammers. The internal stereo sound system of the LP-350 digital piano features two large 10 cm speakers powered by a pair of 11-watt amplifiers. These speakers are housed in a bass-reflex enclosure, providing extended low-end response for a deep, full sound. The position of the speaker enclosure below the keyboard allows the sound to envelope the entire piano, creating a more natural resonance.
