The Perfect Piano to exceed all Expectations
Adding the joy of a piano to your home?
Searching for an accurate and reliable instrument?
Need a convenient keyboard for some serious practice?
Compact and cost-effective, the KORG B1 Digital Piano is the right
choice for all your piano needs. The streamlined design delivers the key
features most important to any pianist: an authentic keyboard touch,
superior sound, and effortless ease of use.
And unlike other pianos that may be stripped-down versions of existing
models, the KORG B1 Digital Piano stands alone in its class; designed
from the ground up using cutting-edge technologies to exceed all
expectations.
For those who are just starting and for those who want to start again, we invite you to experience the KORG B1 Digital Piano.
Innovative Technologies Deliver Full-Range Fidelity and Enhanced Low-End Response
To achieve the deep, rich tones of an acoustic piano within its
compact body, the B1 Digital Piano relies on KORG’s servo-assisted MFB
technology, a pair of full-range speakers, plus a passive radiator.
Together, these elements reproduce the rich resonant tones that emanate
from the large body of an acoustic piano, with particular attention paid
to the low-frequency range.
*MFB (Motional Feedback) Technology: The built-in speaker
system is equipped with MFB technology. This active servo system
controls the movement of the cone, allowing low frequencies to be
reproduced with minimal distortion. In use, the movement (velocity) of
the speaker cone (vibrational surface) is detected, and a signal that
compensates for the mechanical response of the speaker and speaker
chamber is returned to the amp (feedback). This Motional Feedback
technology allows the system to achieve ideal frequency response, and
permits the low-frequency range to be reproduced accurately; any
coloration of the sound caused by the speaker enclosure is immediately
corrected. This well-regarded technique reinforces the low-end
response—particularly with small speakers—and can also help to
compensate for the room acoustics.
Eight Expressive and Highly-Detailed Instruments Sounds
As with all digital pianos, the KORG B1 uses sampling technology
(multiple digital recordings) to capture and recreate the rich, vibrant
tone of an acoustic piano. As sampling technology has continued to
improve—and as digital memory components have become more abundant—the
KORG B1 Digital Piano is able to deliver a more accurate, authentic, and
expressive sound than instruments of just a few years ago.
In addition to capturing the enormous tonal range of a grand piano, the
meticulously-sampled sounds created for the B1 Digital Piano also
reproduce the sympathetic string vibrations and damper resonances that
give the piano its character.
Three flavors of acoustic piano are provided; the B1 Digital Piano also
provides two electric pianos, a harpsichord, and two organ sounds—each
delivered with precise realism. This generous set of frequently-used
sounds allows any player to expand their repertoire to cover many
musical genres. The dedicated PIANO PLAY button instantly recalls the
Concert Grand Piano sound.
NH Keyboard
The B1 Digital Piano is equipped with KORG’s NH (Natural Weighted
Hammer) keyboard action. This Natural Weighting provides a heavier touch
in the lower registers, transitioning to a lighter touch in the upper
regions—just as on a traditional piano. The dynamic response of the
keyboard can be set to match the playing style of any performer.
Modern Design
The efficient design of the B1 Digital Piano encourages you to enjoy playing and minimizes distractions.
Sleek and streamlined, the compact body houses the built-in speaker
system, yet weighs only 26 lbs. (11.8 kg.) allowing for east
transport—if needed. The depth barely exceeds 13 inches (336 mm), making
the B1 Digital Piano extremely agile and versatile when it comes to
placement.
Available in either Black or White, the B1 Digital Piano can complement any décor.
Improved Music Rest
The music rest of the B1 Digital Piano features a page retention pocket that keeps music pages and folios from turning unexpectedly during performance—printed music up to 10 mm (approx.) in thickness can be accommodated. This thoughtful addition allows you to concentrate on your playing.
Available Options
For a more permanent and tasteful addition to your playing environment, consider the matching STB1 stand. Available in black (STB1BK) or white (STB1WH), this stand places the B1 Digital Piano at a standard keyboard height for comfortable playing. For the demanding pianist, the Triple-Pedal unit (PU-2) provides all of the pedals of the concert grand piano. Matching cushioned benches (PC-300; JS-SB100) are also available. All options are sold separately.

Rugged Damper Pedal
The metal damper (sustain) pedal provided with the B1 Digital Piano provides a reassuring stability and a great feel underfoot. While the single damper pedal is ideal for many pianists and performers, an optional three-pedal unit (PU-2: separately sold accessory) is available for the piano purist.
Partner Mode
By activating the Partner Mode, the keyboard is effectively split into two side-by-side keyboards—each pitched in the same range. This allows the student and teacher (or parent and child) to play the same passages at the same time—the perfect way to learn a difficult lesson. In a classroom setting, two students can share a single instrument.
The CONCERT piano series is KORG’s new standard in piano performance. It is designed to provide the same enjoyment, sound, playing feel and musical experience as experienced in a concert hall.
