Korg Poetry (poetic brown)

With the Poetry , KORG offers a very special digital piano that is aimed specifically at lovers of the music of the world-renowned composer, pianist and piano teacher Frédéric Chopin. The idea behind the development of Poetry is as unique as it is ingenious: What if you could experience Chopin's music exactly as he himself would have heard it while composing it? The production of concert grand pianos has progressed significantly since Chopin's lifetime, which is why the sound of today's instruments can no longer be compared with the one he experienced himself. During his time in Paris, Chopin played a piano from the traditional French manufacturer PLEYEL. For this reason, KORG took great effort to bring a PLEYEL piano from 1843, the 33rd year of Chopin's life, to Japan, where it was extensively restored by specialists using special French parts and brought as close as possible to its original condition. This instrument with 80 keys was then meticulously sampled in the tuning of 430 Hz, which was authentic for the time, and now forms the basis for the Poetry digital piano as the PLEYEL sound. But fans of current piano sounds will also get their money's worth with Poetry , because in addition to this truly historical sound, another, more modern sound can also be found in Poetry : the world-famous Italian concert grand, which was used at the famous Chopin Competition in Warsaw. In addition to 28 other tones, the Poetry offers the authentic sound of a PLEYEL piano from Chopin's lifetime as well as that of a modern concert grand piano today. But the Poetry also has a lot to offer visually, because it is equipped in the unique color variant “Poetic Brown” with pronounced wood grain and gold-colored details and is therefore based externally on the original PLEYEL piano from 1843, whose sound it contains. The instrument is made with the greatest care in Japan and is equipped with an excellent 88- keys RH3 keyboard, hammer action and graduated weighting, which means that the keys in the low registers offer more resistance than those in the high registers, what a ensures a particularly authentic concert grand piano experience. The powerful stereo speaker system with 2 x 25 watts of power (RMS) ensures a natural and dynamic sound full of expressiveness, as you would expect from an acoustic instrument. Of course, the Poetry has three pedals with half-pedal support (damper, soft and sostenuto pedals) and thus offers countless possibilities for shaping the sound while playing. 50 piano pieces by Chopin are already included as demo songs in the instrument ex works, but you can also record your own playing on the instrument using the recording function with two parts (for left and right hand). The Bluetooth audio function, which is also integrated, allows you to stream your favorite music to the Poetry 's speaker system, whereby you can of course also play the instrument at the same time. For practicing and piano lessons, two headphone outputs and a partner mode are available, in which the keyboard is divided into two equal areas so that, for example, teachers and students can sit next to each other and have the same sound range available. As a particularly loving detail, the Poetry also includes a music book with 23 selected piano pieces by Chopin, so that nothing stands in the way of the authentic, historical piano experience.
