General
Korg's C1 Air is an exceptional standing digital piano with a modern, minimalistic design that is just 26 cm deep. It was designed and manufactured in Japan and has the sound and feel of a real acoustic piano. It's equipped with 88 Real Hammer (RH3) keys that play just like a real grand piano: the lower notes are heavier than the higher notes. The resonance and touch of the keys are simulated, of course, but it's so good it's hard to notice the difference! There are 30 different sounds on board including both a Japanese and a German grand piano as well as electric piano, organ, vibraphone, acoustic guitar and strings. The C1 Air has three built-in pedals (with half-pedal function) and a music stand that is attached to the piano lid. This model is white, but it's also available in black and brown.
Versatile
The different on-board sounds give you plenty of possibilities when it comes to playing. You can even combine sounds together for something more unique or assign different sounds to different parts of the keyboard. The C1 Air is also equipped with a 2-track recorder that allows you to record two parts separately. There are 40 built-in songs for you to play along with or you can stream your favourite songs directly to the piano via Bluetooth and play along with them instead. If you don't fancy playing along, you can just listen to music through the piano's excellent on-board speaker system.
Suitable for all
The outstanding sound and realistic feel of this digital piano make it a great choice for players of all levels. The double headphone socket and split function is handy for starters, while more advanced players will appreciate some of the more advanced settings for brilliance, reverb and chorus, for instance, as well as the ability to connect the C1 Air to a PC or Mac via the MIDI connector.
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: while the depth of the piano is 26 cm, anti-tipping brackets are required in its construction giving it a total depth of 34.7 cm.

Moet wel zeggen dat de toetsaanslag (Korg's RH3) iets lichter is dan wat ik had verwacht, maar dat is natuurlijk voor een groot stuk persoonlijke voorkeur (bij mij is dit vooral doordat ik gewend was aan een eerder "zware" akoestische piano), en in deze prijsklasse hadden modellen van andere merken (e.g., Yamaha) een nog lichtere aanslag. Het RH3-keyboard in dit model wordt trouwens ook gebruikt in Korg's duurdere modellen, zoals de G1 Air of de Kronos. Eens ik hieraan heb kunnen wennen, speelt het echt prima en biedt het voor mij althans genoeg responsiviteit om meer dan genoeg het gevoel te geven dat ik op een echte piano aan het spelen ben (wat ik eerlijk gezegd niet meteen had verwacht van een digitale piano).
Het geluid stelt zeker ook niet teleur: de speakers zijn meer dan krachtig genoeg voor in mijn woonkamer (in een appartement) en de 2 voornaamste ingebouwde geluiden (Duitse Steinway en Japanse Yamaha vleugels) klinken allebei prachtig op hun eigen manier. Even ter zijde: de speakers klinken ook verassend goed wanneer je ze gebruikt om via Bluetooth muziek te laten afspelen, niet meteen essentieel op een digitale piano, maar wel een handige extra functionaliteit om de speakers van dit model ten volle te kunnen benutten.
Ten slotte springt het design van deze digitale piano ook wel meteen in het oog, zeker ter vergelijking met andere modellen in deze prijsklasse. Persoonlijk hechtte ik hier toch ook wel een beetje belang aan; al te plastieken modellen vol met kermislichtjes geven mij al niet het gevoel van een echte piano nog voor ik begin te spelen. Daarentegen staat deze piano nooit echt in de weg, aangezien het op zich al dienst doet als stijlvol "design"-meubelstuk.
Samengevat ben ik dus heel tevreden van mijn aankoop. Korg krijgt als merk in mijn ogen niet genoeg aandacht en lof voor zijn digitale piano's ten opzichte van andere, meer gekende merken. De bestelling via Bax-Shop is, zoals gebruikelijk, vlekkeloos verlopen. Een nadeel van online kopen bij digitale piano's is natuurlijk dat je ze niet eerst kan uitproberen; daarom kan ik zeker aanraden eerst eens langs te gaan in een "echte" winkel en dit model eens zelf te proberen, aangezien ze de aankoop van digitale piano's in mijn ogen toch voor een groot stuk afhangt van persoonlijke voorkeur. Tip: mochten ze dit specifieke model hebben staan, de meer gekende Korg LP-380 en Korg G1 Air zijn uitgerust met identiek hetzelfde RH3-keyboard, en geven je dus een heel goed idee wat je kan verwachten. Daarna natuurlijk gewoon hier kopen, scheelde in mijn geval al 100 en dan ben je zeker van een goede service en levering!
