Korg Liano 88-key Digital Piano w/ Semi-Weighted Keys - Red

This piano has a very authentic clear sparkling and responsive piano sound. It has the most genuine piano sound of any electric keyboard I've owned. It takes getting used to. Sometimes it needs a gentler touch to get the sound you want. The speakers are pretty good sounding, but through a decent quality set of headphones it sounds even better without bothering anyone and it sounds good through my keyboard amp too. Some of the other sounds it has are nice enough but sound setting for piano 1 (Italian Grand Piano) is mostly all I use. It is the most state of the art in quality. It is so light to carry, but I just leave it on a keyboard stand ready to play.

I rarely give 5-star reviews, but the Korg Liano really is exceptional value for money. The sound beats Roland and Kawai piano sounds for just being a keyboard. I've dialed up sensitivity to maximum. The lightness of the keyboard is where it shines; it's so light and easy to pack up and store in tight spaces. The perfect gig bag is: the Yamaha YBPN76 : It's for a 76-key keyboard, but fits this 88 keyboard perfectly (very snug. Can find it at Guitar Center). The fact that the 88 keyboard fits in 76 keyboard bag tells you how slim it also is.

The sound is great for a thin, lightweight keyboard that weighs only 13 pounds. It is a very simple, no frills design, but great for carrying along with you on short trips, when you don’t want to lug a heavy keyboard around. The action on it is spongy. And although It has the option to set the feel of the keys from light medium or heavy, I can’t really tell the difference. It feels like an older organ or modern synthesizer keys. The speakers, for the size, sound pretty good and loud. Not having a keyboard Amplifier, I can’t attest to how it would sound using one, but I have a feeling that it would sound very good. Do not get it if you want a keyboard with semi or weighted piano feel, because you won’t find it in this. I think for the price, weight and sound, you’d be hard pressed to find a better option.

I really like this Korg Liano. For me it works. For you it may not depending on your needs are. What I will say is that it lives up to the claims you've seen on a lot of the YouTube videos. If you haven't yet check out Jeremy See's review on this keyboard he breaks the pros & cons down really good for this keyboard and is very accurate. It has the bread & butter sounds that you would need in a live setting but if your looking for 600+ voices, look elsewhere. I've tested the grand piano against several pianos including my high end Yamaha workstation and it holds up very nicely. So the piano rocks. Personally I don't use the pipe organ but it's a good sounding organ, for church settings or weddings. The one drawback to me is the almost useless "reverb" effect. It's there but barely. The included damper/sustain pedal is just junk but with a good sustain pedal the function works great. I got the blue one and it's beautiful 😍 The action is somewhere between a synth & a regular piano and I like it for my older fingers itsjust right. It would have been nice if Korg included dedicated L & R output jacks but for me its not a deal breaker, the headphone jack works okay with the proper 1/8" stereo jack to split 1/4" jacks to a mixer or amp. Overall I dig it and at just over 12 pounds it's easily portable to gigs.

Lots of beginner piano reviews say that you must have hammer action, fully weighted keys. As an older adult beginner I followed this advice and found that the action was too loud and distracting when practicing with headphones. Also that piano had hundreds of sounds that I would never use. Sold that and got the Korg Liano at half the price. The semi weighted keys have a great feel are quiet and are adjustable for touch. The piano only weighs 13.5 lbs and runs on 6 AA batteries so I can practice anywhere. The built in sounds are good, especially the primary piano. The Liano can connect to phone or tablet and can play hundreds of free sound files available for download on the web. I have been playing for 2 years and the Liano for a year and I consider the Liano to be the perfect beginner and beyond 88 key piano . If you want to watch a great video on “How to Choose the Best Piano Keyboard”, look on YouTube for Pianoman Steve; I also recommend his 28 day crash course on learning piano.

I haven't myself owned a keyboard with such a clear distinction in sound quality. Korg keyboards seem to have a signature crispness and depth. This model specifically features 2 traditional piano soundboards(?) if that's what you could call them. There are 8 instruments loaded onto it, with the ability to hook up a usb to a laptop or mobile device, etc. that allows you to upload other instruments and play them through it, it's great for the bundle price.. except I feel like for 329 I should be entitled to a cheap carry-case with it. It comes with the sustain pedal, which is nice. The sound quality is exceptional, but only really for the piano soundboards. The others sound great too, but offer things like a pipe organ, strings, harpischord that sound not too much different than most standard keyboards. The digital inputs, lightweight and minimalist design make it great! I also think that the reverb button should have some kind of readout to signify if it is on. A tiny light wouldn't be that expensive to implement I think! Anyway, all around great product! Now I just have to knock the dust off of my piano skills!

This is my favorite piano for just about any solo piano gig. It’s so portable I literally bring it on the subway to gigs where parking is difficult. And even when I have solo piano gigs where I can drive and can use something heavier and bigger, I still use this keyboard. It has more than paid for itself.

This is a toy. I wasn't expecting much at this price point, but to say that it is even remotely playable as a 'piano' -- even for a beginner -- is laughable. I started the return process within hours of receiving it because it was such bad quality. However, it's now been two weeks and I have yet to see my refund, despite the keyboard having been received by the seller within a few days. My refund is "being processed." I need to purchase a different keyboard, but I can't until this refund goes through. Imagine if consumers had the ability to "process payment" and delay corporate income and profits on a whim?

Ich habe das Korg Liano über Amazon Rückläufer bestellt. Ein paar schwarze Kratzer an den Tasten ließen sich problemlos wegpolieren. Das Korg hat keinen Hammermechanismus und wiegt von daher wesentlich weniger. Es lässt sich eben auch in der Wohnung leicht umstellen und man kann es auch mitnehmen. Der Klang und der Anschlag sind gut. Es lassen sich verschiedene Klangarten einstellen. Auch lässt es sich mit Batterien betreiben. Ein Fusspedal ist auch dabei und ein Gutschein für Skoove, der Klavierlern App. Rundherum ein guter Kompromiss für Anfänger. Für Profis gibt es sicherlich Bessere.

Nice keyboard, according to my expectations

Excellent piano 88 touches. Assez léger pour être facilement transportable. Peut jouer les sons essentiels : piano, orgue, clavecin ... Peut fonctionner à piles. Bon prix.

Molto leggera, bella da vedere. Molto semplice, pochi tasti, niente di superfluo. I 2 suoni di piano sono reali, un rhodes e un simil wurlitzer, molto buoni, gli altri sono buoni nella media. Ci sono tre possibilità di risposta dinamica al tasto. Io preferisco la heavy. Comunque, è una tastiera con 88 tasti non pesati e va benissimo sia per principianti che per professionisti, a mio parere. Ottima per studio ma anche per concerto. L'amplificazione è sufficiente per lo studio, meglio amplificarla per concerto. In definitiva, a parte il prezzo molto accessibile, una tastiera ottima, con buoni timbri che non sfigura rispetto alle più potenti. Korg è sempre una garanzia.

It has a small headphone jack so no adapter needed (nice), it has USB-B port which I had no trouble connecting to my mobile with a USB-A to B lead and a USB OTG adapter (A to C) so I could get the included Skoove app playing through the keyboard speakers instead of the mobile speakers. This worked fine on my Pixel 6, just didn't work on Samsung S20 FE phone where I couldn't hear the audio. If I figure out why I'll update this. That was slightly annoying, but you can still use a mobile with the built-in Mic. Another nice thing about the Skoove app is that they allow you to share the account and login to multiple devices and the progress is kept locally so you can all be at different levels if you want the whole family learning. Just a shame there is no PC option, only iOS and Android. The sound on this is pretty good (to my ears which are not the best), there are holes at the back and a cavity inside the keyboard to make the sound resonate a bit more, it's much better than the small speakers on the top would have you believe. The keys feel nice, the KB is not too heavy, I just need to find some rubber strips because the criss-cross stand we bought only has rubber on the front and back, and this keyboard isn't very deep, so it rests on the rubber at the edge of the stand and the back of the keyboard just rests on the metal of the stand. Hasn't moved around too much though. I usually find something wrong with things I buy, but I came up short here. Recommended.
