Your cart is empty.Never before has a single instrument captured the signature sound, the unique performance experience, and the aesthetic satisfaction of so many definitive keyboards as the KORG SV-2 Stage Vintage. Ten years ago, KORG launched the Stage Vintage line to wild acclaim. The combination of an intuitive live panel, the premier keybed, the ultimate realization of coveted vintage sounds, the clarity of world-class pianos, the warmth and character of period-proper effects, and the distinctively smooth shape has inspired musicians from around the globe for over a decade. Available with either 88 keys or 73 keys, these SV-2 models are the latest additions to the Stage Vintage series, featuring more of everything that makes an SV great. More Sounds. More Memory. More Polyphony. More Presets. More Control. It is quite literally everything one could want in a performance stage piano … and more. Plus, be sure to check out the SV-2S models, equipped with an internal K-ARRAY speaker system.

Besides the new gorgeous look with its white pearl finish, the built-in speakers sound good and a joy to play.I own other stage pianos such as the VPiano, CP1, Nord Piano3, RD700NX, Reface CP, also virtual pianos in my DAW, etc. so I believe I have fairly good knowledge and experience with this type of instrument. I am just a music hobbist, enjoy improvising on my own over some cool drum loops.While the RH3 keybed is not the greatest feel (somewhat dull and cheap), the SV2 plays nicely and dynamically. The built-in speaker is a huge plus as I was running out of room in my music studio to properly place the instrument in front of my monitors. The speakers are loud enough to easily fill a small living room. The SV2 also supports half pedal-ing and comes with the appropriate pedal for it, although I ordered the optional D51H pedal for its higher build quality. The keyboard fit perfectly on the STSV1BK stand.I bought the SV2 for its tines sounds since I was a fan of the SV1's tines. The tines without the amp effect sounds plain like the boring tines in the RD700NX, but once you add some of that nice tube amp drive, wow.. thing just sings. While I have no plan to use most of the other sounds besides the grand pianos, the strings in the SV2 sounds very good with lots of character.I will play with the Mac editor later on, but definitely not needed as the front panel is very intuitive without being cluttered. It is definitely a fun stage piano to add to your collection.Update: Mac editor is a must-try as it has more detailed parameters one can edit (especially helpful for effects). It's a simple download from Korg and installs in a few moments.Update2: The tube died already.. not only 2 years old. If you plan to keep this keyboard running for a long time, try keeping the modeled AMP turned off as it seems to use up the life of the tube real quick. I'm going to have to replace it myself by taking the whole thing apart. Wish me luck. The tubes can be had from eBay for about $20 shipped.

Wanted another digital piano to supplement my Nord (which I love). This Korg is a nice addition. The keys are wonderful, and almost all of the presets are very useable. Great board!
