Keyboards

   
The Electronic Keyboard has evolved from what was a very crude musical instrument of the 1980’s to something now extremely sophisticated. The flagship models often featuring powerful groundbreaking technology. So, you get a lot of ‘sounds for your pounds’ and presented in a stylish compact easy to transport format. PC and Internet connectivity allows even a basic Keyboard to be upgraded.
Whilst a Keyboard can never replace a Digital or Acoustic Piano they can be great fun and make an ideal second instrument. Something you can take round to a friends for musical evenings.

Korg have used their powerful tone generation system derived from the award winning TRITON Workstation to power the PA50. The specs and sound quality on this instrument put keyboards costing far more to shame.
What we think
At £595 this keyboard is an absolute bargain. It's good, very, very good and it's tonal presentation and accompaniment styles are so refreshing. The PA50 will take your performance, and not your overdraft to new heights!
