What About the Sound?

This has multi-level stereo sampling so you will get a high-quality reproduction throughout the entire range. The Korg SP-250 has just about everything you could need including all sounds, sound effects, and an onboard sound system and pedal in one.

Included in the sound set are five pianos, seven electric pianos, three church organs, three jazz organs and the following instruments: harpsichord, marimba, vibraphone, and an acoustic guitar. When you begin to play around with this, you will see that there are even more sounds, too.

“The quality cabinet is rich looking and the keys have the look and feel of a real piano.”

- Jane, Amazon.com

Specifications

This is extremely lightweight for an 88-key digital piano, weighing in at less than 42 pounds. It is 15” x 51” x 5.5” in size, which means that it is certainly small enough to take on the road yet sturdy enough to be played at home on a regular basis.

“The sound is very rich in the bass range and the voice feature is great.”

- Kat, Amazon.com

Is This the Keyboard for You?

After reading this Korg SP250 review, it’s obvious this is not the keyboard for everyone, and if you are looking for high-end recording capabilities or onboard multi-tracking, then this might not be your first choice. But for a home piano or a stage piano without the programming features, you won’t find anything better for the money than the Korg SP250.

The people who have reviewed this all state that it is the real grand piano key feel that they like as well as the fact that the sound is reliable and hearty throughout all ranges. All in all, this is a stunningly designed and fully functional digital keyboard for almost all uses.

Summary

Choosing a new digital piano or electric keyboard can be difficult because there are so many options available to you, and if you go to your local music or piano store, you will find that there are many that you can choose from. However, the Korg SP250 is a very highly ranked digital piano at many online merchants, and because it comes with a stand and a pedal, it is ready to go.
