While I've been GASing for the SV-1, this new little keyboard might be more practical than something over twice it's price.

The Korg SP-280 digital stage piano follows closely in the footsteps of the popular SP-250, providing you with excellent sounds, exceptional feel, and easy portability - all for a price that's too good to pass up. Loaded with over 30 top-notch sounds, you can call up anything from grand pianos and EPs to organs and strings on your SP-280, even layering sounds with ease. An impressive 2 x 22W stereo sound system makes playing at home or small gigs extremely simple, and at a touch under 42 lbs., you'll have no reservations whatsoever about gigging out with your Korg SP-280 digital piano.


  • A great feeling and wonderful sounding digital stage piano you can take to any gig
  • Full 88-note Natural Weighted Hammer Action (NH) keybed provides heavier action in the lower register and lighter action in the high note for super-realistic acoustic piano feel
  • Loaded with 30 extremely realistic instrument sounds, including acoustic pianos, electric pianos, organs, clavs, harpsichord, strings, and more
  • Damper resonance, key release noise, and other details add to the realistic sound
  • Powerful 2 x 22W stereo sound system is perfect for use at home and for small gigs
  • Partner mode keyboard splitting and dual headphone jacks provide great resources for taking or giving piano lessons
  • Lightweight design (only 42 lbs.) is ideal for gigging

It might be the one I played last Friday at GC. If so, the feel is really nice and the piano sounds incredibly accurate.

I went back and realized I played it's predecessor, the SP-250. It sounds great. The reviews on the 280 are positive.
Birthday in 2 months... Hmmm.
