Description
The C1 is a truly exceptional digital piano. With KORG’s unique history of musical instrument design and audio technology, the C1 offers levels of playability and versatility that will exceed the expectations of the most demanding pianist. From the very first note, the depth and clarity of sound that the C1 delivers from its compact, slim-line cabinet will astound both player and audience alike. The precisely-engineered keyboard provides a feel and response that has been designed to help the student develop a sound playing technique while responding fully to the demands of the more advanced player.
First and foremost, the KORG C1 is a superb piano, both as an exciting alternative to an acoustic instrument or in locations where a traditional instrument could not be used. It never needs tuning and can be used with headphones to avoid disturbing others.
Furthermore, a variety of additional features will inspire new levels of creativity in players of all abilities and enhance their enjoyment of music, including 30 superbly realistic instrument sounds, Bluetooth audio streaming and on-board recording. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the KORG C1 redefines the digital piano.
Multiple high-quality instruments onboard
Many concert pianists prefer the German concert grand piano, with its treble brilliance and bass-register prowess. The Japanese concert grand, with its characteristically dynamic sound, is a versatile choice for players specializing in everything from classical to jazz to popular favorites. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have both? Korg has designed the C1 Air to deliver the sound of these two concert grand pianos to your fingertips with authentic realism. But that’s not all; along with 30 high-quality built-in instruments, there are 40 piano songs to learn, along with demo songs that showcase the C1 Air’s great sounds. Plus, you’ll have access to partner mode, split and layer modes, and three outstanding, adjustable studio effects: Reverb, Brilliance, and Chorus.
Authentic acoustic piano experience in a digital instrument
Korg designed the C1 Air not only to generate realistic sounds, but also to offer piano players an authentic acoustic piano experience in a digital instrument. The real weighted hammer action 3 (RH3) keyboard features a heavier feel in the lower-register keys and a lighter feel as you play further up the keyboard. Quickly repeated notes are registered and reproduced with efficient velocity, and even on the most complicated passages, your playing dynamics will be faithfully conveyed. You even get key touch control with five sensitivity levels, allowing further control over how your playing is translated into music. A full complement of two concert-style pedals also offers half-pedaling for even finer artistic expression.
Bluetooth connection for practice, performance, or playback
With the C1 Air’s Bluetooth connectivity, you can play tracks wirelessly for practice or play along with recorded music for live performance. When not playing the C1 Air, you can even connect your mobile device merely to experience high-quality playback of your favorite music. Take it from Sweetwater; you’ll love having the Bluetooth wireless connection and the convenience it provides.
Made with care and pride in Miyama, Kyoto, Japan
The RH3 keyboard installed in your C1 Air is made in the village of Miyama, in Kyoto, a region of Japan known for its impressive natural beauty. The majesty of the local forests and the traditions represented by the historic thatched-roof homes preserved there are reflected in the character of Miyama’s people - and that makes Miyama a perfect place for building instruments with a high degree of care and accountability. Using the cell production method, in which a small group of highly skilled workers is responsible for taking each instrument from start to finish and signing off on each stage of production, Korg builds high-quality keyboards and entire digital pianos, one at a time, with a human touch.
