Now you can experience the sound of three completely different grand pianos in your home and choose the one you prefer for a particular musical piece.</p><ul> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>German Piano:&nbsp;</strong>Probably the most famous piano in the world, chosen by almost all concert pianists and found in the most prestigious concert halls and theaters. It is an instrument of great character, with a rich timbre, brilliant highs, powerful lows, and wide dynamic range.</p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<p><strong>Austrian Piano:&nbsp;</strong>An instrument with a great tradition, featuring a bright and warm timbre.</p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<p><strong>Japanese Piano:&nbsp;</strong>Characterized by a modern, dynamic, and versatile sound, used in a wide range of musical genres, from classical to jazz and pop.</p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><p><img alt="KORG G1B-AIR BK is a digital piano that offers a highly expressive and beautiful playing experience, suitable for study or the pure joy of making music" src="/images/uploads//KORG-G1-Air-BK-1200x630-04.jpg" title="KORG G1B-AIR BK is a digital piano that offers a highly expressive and beautiful playing experience, suitable for study or the pure joy of making music" /></p><ul> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><strong>Incredibly realistic multi-layer samples.&nbsp;</strong>To achieve a tone as close as possible to that of an acoustic instrument, the sounds of the three main pianos in G1B-AIR BK were created across multiple dynamic layers, perfectly homogeneous with each other, to allow the performer to reproduce the slightest expressive nuance, from the most delicate pianissimo to the most powerful fortissimo.</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><strong>Damper Resonance.&nbsp;</strong>In the three concert grand pianos of <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong>, the characteristic <strong><em>Damper Resonance</em></strong> effect, which in acoustic instruments is generated by the sympathetic resonance of strings triggered by pressing the damper pedal, is realistically reproduced.</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><strong>String Resonance.&nbsp;</strong>On every acoustic piano, strings resonate sympathetically based on the notes played, whose keys lift the associated dampers. String resonance is an essential characteristic of the overall timbre of a piano. To faithfully reproduce it, KORG has developed sophisticated proprietary technology, which has been applied to the three concert grand piano sounds of G1B-AIR BK.</li> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><strong>Key-off.&nbsp;</strong>Key-Off accurately reproduces the sound generated in an acoustic instrument when the keys are released.</li></ul><h2><strong>G1B-AIR BK Supports Bluetooth Audio (Air models only)</strong></h2><p>On <strong>G1B-AIR BK Air</strong>, you can connect a Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone, allowing you to play the piano along with music stored on the device. Additionally, the piano can be used as an efficient <em><strong>Bluetooth</strong></em> speaker system.</p><h2><strong>The Elegant and Sophisticated Design of G1B-AIR BK</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The new design philosophy adopted for <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong> pays homage to the traditional acoustic piano form while distinguishing itself from the ordinary appearance of similar products on the market. Its modern design incorporates distinctive elements such as the two slightly curved legs that elegantly highlight its profile, and its slim line with a depth of only 29 cm (11.42"), making it easy to place in any environment. The keyboard is protected by a dedicated soft-closing cover, which also serves as a music rest when open. G1B-AIR BK is available in various color finishes to easily integrate into any decor style. (*&nbsp;<em>Excluding the anti-tip device</em>).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="G1B-AIR BK uses the renowned RH3 88-weighted keybed, the same successfully used on professional keyboards like the Nautilus-88 workstation or the SV-2 Stage Piano" src="/images/uploads//KORG-G1-Air-BK-1200x630-12.jpg" title="G1B-AIR BK uses the renowned RH3 88-weighted keybed, the same successfully used on professional keyboards like the Nautilus-88 workstation or the SV-2 Stage Piano" /></p><h2><strong>The RH3 keyboard reproduces the feel of playing a real acoustic piano in great detail</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The &quot;<em>Hammer Action</em>&quot; RH3 weighted keyboard has been adopted for <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong>, which simulates the mechanical action of a grand piano with great precision, including the characteristic variation in touch caused by the weight of the hammers: heavier in the instrument's lower register and gradually lighter when moving towards the higher register. RH3 is also a highly responsive keyboard for repeated notes, and allows for extremely precise dynamic control, with five levels of sensitivity: light, normal, heavy, stable, fixed, making it possible to adapt the instrument's response to any pianist's playing technique.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The amplification system of G1B-AIR BK</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The specially designed speaker system of <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong> reproduces the sound of acoustic pianos and other timbres with incredible realism. It consists of two large-diameter bass speakers positioned under the keyboard and housed in a dedicated resonance chamber; these transmit their entire dynamic range directly to the performer. Meanwhile, the high frequencies are reproduced by an additional pair of dedicated speakers placed above the keyboard, which can also leverage the resonances of the cabinet and key cover to provide additional detail and tonal nuances, similar to a real acoustic piano. The amplification section develops <strong>20 W</strong> of power for each of the four speakers, offering a total of up to 80 W of extremely high quality. With incredibly defined and deep bass, and a brilliant and natural high range, it fully reproduces the dynamic range and expressive power of a true grand piano.</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5YHdY5YJqc8" width="560"></iframe></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Pedals with Half-Pedal Function</strong></h2><p>Pedals are an essential element in any piano, and <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong> is equipped with the three standard grand piano pedals: Damper, Soft, and Sostenuto. Furthermore, the Damper and Soft pedals feature a "half-pedal" function for even greater expressive detail.</p><h2><strong>Tones and Effects of G1B-AIR BK</strong></h2><p>In addition to the three Concert Grand piano sounds, G1B-AIR BK also features electric piano, organ, harpsichord, vibraphone, acoustic guitar, strings, and much more, offering you 32 extremely expressive sounds. There are also three high-quality effects: brilliance, reverb, and chorus. These are already appropriately preset for each sound, so you can simply select a timbre and start playing immediately without thinking about anything else.</p><p><img alt="On G1B-Air BK you can use the 32 sounds individually, or layer 2 of them, or even play with the keyboard in Split mode (divided) with two different sounds per zone." src="/img/media/images/html/G1_Panel_Detail_0075.jpg" title="On G1B-Air BK you can use the 32 sounds individually, or layer 2 of them, or even play with the keyboard in Split mode (divided) with two different sounds per zone." /></p><h2><strong>The Control Panel of G1B-AIR BK</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">You can assign a bass sound to the lower part of the keyboard by simply pressing a button, thus playing the piano with your right hand and the bass with your left for a perfect Jazz Performance. Alternatively, by pressing two buttons simultaneously, you can layer two timbres, such as piano and strings, for orchestral-like performances. The instrument also features a <strong>"Partner" function</strong>, which allows the keyboard to be divided into two identical left and right sections, each with its own pedal. This is an excellent method for practicing with your teacher.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Educational Songs</strong></h2><p>In addition to ten demo songs that showcase the possibilities of the various sounds, <strong>G1B-AIR BK</strong> also includes <strong>40 highly useful educational piano pieces</strong>. You can adjust their tempo, control left and right-hand playback, and use the "A-B Repeat" function to practice more complex sections.</p><h2><strong>The Two-Track Song Recorder of G1B-AIR BK&nbsp;</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">G1B-AIR BK features a 2-track digital recorder that allows you to immediately record every performance. This way, you can analyze it to monitor your progress in your studies, or simply archive it.&nbsp;You can record each hand independently, or record an additional track over an already recorded song.</p>Playback speed can be adjusted later, and up to 99 different songs can be saved in the internal memory. **G1B-AIR BK** belongs to KORG's **CONCERT** series, a line of instruments designed to set a new standard in digital pianos.
