Korg Concert C-340 88-Note Digital Piano

Concert C-340 88-Note Digital Piano description:

The Korg CONCERT C-340 88-Note Real Weighted Hammer Action Piano In Dark Rosewood Finish. Elegant design blended with modern music technology.

The Korg CONCERT C-340 combines the elegance of an acoustic piano with a sophisticated design that will be at home in any interior. The C-340 features modern-looking design with a dark rosewood finish for a calm feeling. The key cover is the same gently-closing type as used on acoustic pianos, ensuring peace of mind during children's lessons. These instruments are designed for simple operation and ease of use. The C-series is an example of Korg's "Piano eXperience" philosophy developed from extensive research into every aspect from sound-creation to speaker system design, with the aim of producing the most beautiful sounds possible. The piano sounds in PCM memory were sampled from a world-class grand piano, with two levels of keyboard dynamics for the C-340. The Korg C340 uses the Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) keyboard that is also found on Korg's top-class synthesizers, and that is based on the same mechanism as a grand piano. Excessive springiness is eliminated to ensure excellent response for any type of passage, ensuring that the keys will return as quickly as if they were being pulled up by your fingers. The hammers of this Japanese-made keyboard are graded into four weights, with a heavier playing feel in the lower register and lighter feel in the high register. Each unit is carefully made in the Miyama-cho factory in Kyoto, famed for its superb level of craftsmanship. With environmental concerns in mind, the hammers are made without lead. A Key Touch Control function lets you change the way that your playing strength will affect the sound output. This allows you to enjoy performing with the optimal response for your own playing touch. The C-340 contains a speaker system with two large-diameter speakers for a rich, spacious and powerful sound. In addition to ten demo songs that introduce the sounds the C340 provides 20 songs that include famous pieces for everyone to enjoy. The pedals are an indispensable element of piano performance, and this instrument provides all three standard pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto. The damper and soft pedals support half-pedaling for more expressive control. In addition to acoustic piano, the built-in sounds include the expressive electric piano and jazz organ sounds required for so much of today’s popular repertoire. Also featured are church organ, strings, harpsichord and more. The C340 gives you thirty different sounds in total. You can use Layer mode to freely combine these sounds in your performance (with individually adjustable volume balance). Finally, the C-340 provides reverb and chorus that let you apply the effect by pressing a single button. There's also a brilliance setting that enhances the brightness and clarity of the sound.
