At least in my experience, Korgs last forever.
I don't know anything about the newer model Korg you mentioned, but if you can see it in person and you like the way it feels and sounds, I wouldn't necessarily write it off. Of those 3 synths, only the Trinity has what I would consider a decent weighted hammer action though - and it is very nice to play especially considering its age. My daughter's high school marching band still uses a Korg Triton from the early 2000s and it is also chugging along, despite being trucked around to competitions and football games and drug outside in hot sun and drizzle and taking abuse from year after year of high school kids. Then again, I myself own a Korg M1 (from the early 90s) and a Korg Trinity (from the late 90s). We both really wanted to like the Casio CDP-S100 but both of us thought the action was horrible - the keys made a clunky noise that was actually distracting from the music. If money is tight, I personally don't think you are sacrificing too much by opting for the FP-10 over the FP-30, but if you can afford the extra $50 I guess it doesn't matter.

It's basically the same piano as the FP-30 without some of the extra sounds and features (although the guy at the store told us the FP-30 had bluetooth and you could use the app on your phone and the FP-10 didn't, and that isn't true - you can use the app/bluetooth with both). My daughter went through a similar search for a digital piano a few months ago and ended up with the FP-10. Of your list, definitely Roland FP30 or Kawai ES110. Look for Kawai MP7, MP7SE, Kawai ES8 Roland FP90 Roland RD800 Korg SV1 Yamaha CP4.Īny of these would be better and cost maybe $900 used but resell easier. If this above is genuine, jump on it quick-fantastic price.
Korg m1 craigslist portable#
If you want good value for money, go used: try 1-4 year old portable or stage piano. I'd be very glad to hear as much as you can tell me about which piano and why is a bad or a good way to go with. Many words, many thoughts.and no decision still.Ĭan you please help me to choose.
The cons about it is low polyphony, no modern connections like USB, Bluetooth etc. And reviews speaks that RH3 action used in that Korg is state of the art. Speaking about Korg SP-250 I think about it relatively affordable price, and if the owner tells the truth the instrument can be a hidden gem if it had not been used since the purchase back in 2009. Everything else either much more expensive or looks like plastic toys.įrankly I almost persuaded myself to choose from FP-30 and that SP-250, because the first I can buy and divide payments for six months, and according to most of the reviews its the best DP in that price range. So here are the lowest prices I found for new:Īnd here are the second hands, almost nothing to choose from:ġ) Korg SP-250 eleven years old - 300 USD, the owner says it's almost like new condition, because have not been used since bought a decade ageģ) Well that's all. Have looked through our online-shops and local Craigslist analogue for second hand equipment. All what I've got is that Roland FP-30, Kawai ES110, Yamaha P-125 and Korg SP250 are very good pianos, at least their keyboards (actions) are amazing and very close to the feeling of a real grand piano. Watched Youtube and read quite a lot of reviews, but haven't found what to choose yet. I'm going to learn to play piano by myself, so decided to buy some decent piano with weighted keys.
