Great Piano

I just took delivery of my new SP250. I couldn't be happier. I have spent alot of time on various digital pianos in entry to pro level price ranges. This has all of the features I need and a few to spare. I love the stereo outs as well as the dual headphone jacks for student/teacher. The feel is very natural and the pedal is sturdy. The details are exceptional. Felt pieces on the stand to avoid scratching wood floors and to stop sliding on carpet as well as a notched pedal to keep it in place. I would buy again and will recommend to anyone. Also, the on board speakers are loud and clear.

Amazing!

I recently bought this for your church and the sound is just amazing so realistic. It is worth getting it.

This is a STEAL!!!

I am a Musician, and at one of the Churches I played at, they had this very model. I fell in love with this awesome piece of machine! I logged on to Sweetwater.com just to see what the price was. When I seen this price, WOW........I immediately called and placed my order along with a piano bench (the one with the leather cushion) and a travelling case. I have this in my bedroom and I recommend this to you or your Ministry or class. ORDER YOURS TODAY!

This Is Proof that Korg's SV-1 Keyboards are Way OVERPRICED!

One of my students recently purchased this keyboard over a Casio and a Yamaha. I was blown away at this keyboard for the price, especially since I once purchased the SV-1 73. This seems to be pretty much the same keyboard with action and pianos - both acoustic and electric Just needs a few more effects options.. Yes, the organ patches are just as bad as the SV-1, but everthing else is great. If only the wood grain top was red like the SV. I would gig with this keyboard in a heartbeat. Great keyboard and very good price. Korg needs to work on their organs patches in all their keyboards. I recommend this keyboard to EVERYONE!

My Favorite Piano

This is the portable piano that I've been looking for! The sound is just what I wanted and the portability is perfect. I set up my Korg SP250, Hammond Sk1 and Gaia SH01 and can kick out any tune that gets requested.
Thanks for the tip, TJ! I'll keep coming back!

Wonderful sound

Got my SP250 today! Thanks for the recommendation, TJ !!!!

The piano sound is great! Just what I've been looking for.

Can't wait to try it out at our next jam night!

My only suggestion would be to move the on/off button from the front of the unit to the top, maybe near the volume slider Current position seems awkward.

Great!

I bought an SP250 to use primarily for stage. I was looking for an 88-key controller that feels good, with at least decent piano sounds, without paying for other bells and whistles I didn't need (sequencers, audio recording features, etc). The SP250 fits the bill very well.

Most importantly, it feels really good. As a lifelong keyboard player, I'll say that I'm very comfortable playing it. The acoustic pianos are good and responsive, and with the velocity curve set to 2/3, they perform smoothly and predictably. Smooth sound, not canned or pinched like a lot of these types of keyboards are. I don't spend much time with the electric pianos, so I don't have much to say about them, except to say that the wurli is only fair. It's usable, but not so good, really. Indeed, a wurli sound was a prerequisite for me in buying this keyboard, so I'm glad there's one at all. Also glad I've got a 200A in my studio for when I need one for realz, though : )

I like the built in speakers. They sound good, and having them makes it so that I can set it up in the house between gigs, and always have a 'piano' to hop to quickly when the mood strikes.

As for gigging, the SP250 fits into a 'slim' case very well, and in general it's reasonably compact. But it's not what I'd call 'light'. It's not nearly as heavy as some other behemoth controllers I've used in the past from Yamaha and Kurzweil, but I suppose that's the tradeoff for good piano action: It's gonna be hefty.

Overall, I'm super-happy about this one.

Excellent Overall

My main board is a Kurzweil K2500XS, but that's not typically kept in my home. So until I inherit my grandpa's Steinway, I needed something to play at home and to begin teaching my 2-year old son Piano.

After discussing the options w/Sweetwater, I bought the Korg SP250 digital piano.

Especially for the price, you get an EXCELLENT machine!

Most importantly it sounds GREAT and feels REAL.
The piano sounds (there are 9 in all) are quite rich and sound good through the built-in speakers.

Notable initial reasons for purchase were that it included the stand, speakers, sustain pedal (that doesn't slide around because it's attached to the bottom of the stand) and sheet music holder. So it doesn't look so bad in the dining room (though I'm sure the Steinway will look 100x better).

I can't emphasize enough how happy with it I am...and my son enjoys showing me where middle C is.
