KORG SP280-BK

Korg produces quality machines full of great sounds and this is no different. It’s a little more exciting looking compared to others and fairly portable. The keyboard has 88 notes with a hammer action and the loud 22 watt speakers face you, giving a nice immersive sound. There are 30 layer-able sounds onboard from Korg’s wellrespected library and it comes with a piano stand, music stand, pedal and two headphone sockets. $1,279, korg.com
