• KORG POETRY  – Chopin-inspired 88-key Digital Piano, Wood Grain

The Piano For Lovers of Chopin

Introducing the KORG Poetry, a one-of-a-kind digital piano featuring two distinct piano tones associated with the legendary Frédéric Chopin. The first piano featured is the PLEYEL, Chopin’s choice of piano, and the second is the contemporary exquisite Italian piano used in the prestigious Chopin Competition held every five years in Warsaw.

The PLEYEL tone, originating from the 19th century French piano, is a rare and coveted sound, with very few surviving Pleyel pianos to reference. The KORG Poetry digital piano, equipped with meticulously recorded and loaded high-quality sound samples of a vintage PLEYEL, brings the essence of that era into the contemporary world. Additionally, it offers the convenience of an electronic instrument, eliminating the need for regular tuning or maintenance.

Two piano tones to encounter Chopin

The KORG Poetry is dedicated to the legendary Frédéric Chopin, a revered musician and celebrated classical composer and pianist who is internationally beloved. Poetry presents a unique opportunity for piano enthusiasts and Chopin lovers worldwide to experience his music in a new and captivating way.

Discover the symphony of heritage within Poetry, showcasing two distinguished piano sounds: the 1843 PLEYEL piano, a creation from Chopin’s 33rd year, and the illustrious contemporary Italian concert grand piano, favored by many leading pianists, echoing its prestigious presence in the renowned international Chopin Competition and elsewhere on the global stage.

The PLEYEL3 sound features 80 keys that faithfully reflect the original instrument. Setting the pitch of this sound to 430 Hz reproduces the soundscape that resonated in Chopin’s mind, faithfully recreating his vibrant musical world.

The contemporary Italian piano unveils a breathtaking, transparent, and profoundly expressive sound. In a contemporary rendition of the same piece, this piano captures the essence of a timeless composer’s imagination. If Chopin were here today, surely he would find inspiration in crafting his soulful genius through the resounding notes of this modern masterpiece.

Embrace elegance with a stylish exterior adorned by beautiful woodgrains

Immerse yourself in the exquisite allure of the ‘Poetic Brown’ wood-grain exterior, a beautifully elegant design inspired by the gentle ambiance of Chopin. The gold-adorned pedals and toes contribute to a luxurious aesthetic, elevating the overall ambiance. With a slender depth of just 26 cm (excluding the anti-tipping bracket), the Poetry achieves a sleek profile, offering added convenience of a flat surface when the lid is closed.

RH-3 keyboard with a comfortable touch – premium Japanese quality

Experience the Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) keyboard, meticulously designed to emulate the nuanced touch of a grand piano. Its weighted keys offer a heavier feel in the lower register and a lighter touch in the higher register, mirroring the authentic piano experience. Boasting high continuous stroke performance, the RH3 keyboard faithfully reproduces the intensity of notes, even in rapid passages, ensuring the performer’s expressive power remains uncompromised. Notably eco-friendly, the keyboard eliminates the use of lead in the hammers. Further enhancing playability, it features key touch control, allowing players to customize note production across five levels (light, standard, heavy, steady, and constant) based on their touch strength, enabling a personalized and enjoyable playing experience.

The Poetry itself is also totally produced in Japan providing the assurance of the highest possible manufacturing quality.

Half-damper compatible, with three pedals as standard

Elevate your piano-playing experience with the standard inclusion of three indispensable pedals, mirroring the functionality of an acoustic piano. Seamlessly engage the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals, essential for nuanced musical expression. Delve into even greater detail with the option for half-pedal usage, enhancing the subtlety and richness of your musical articulation.

Instantly record your performance with the two-part song recorder

Empower your musical journey with the two-part recorder feature, enabling you to record your performances, listen objectively, and enhance your playing. Capture the essence of your music by recording each hand separately, mimicking the approach of a piano piece. Alternatively, record your entire performance alongside a saved song. Take control of your practice with the ability to adjust the tempo of recorded user songs during playback, providing a dynamic tool for improvement and musical exploration.

Features unique to digital pianos, such as a metronome, layers, and partner mode

Enhance your practice sessions with the convenient metronome, easily toggled on and off with a single touch—ideal for lessons and refining your timing. Explore the immersive ‘Layer Mode,’ effortlessly combining two tones by pressing corresponding buttons simultaneously, enabling the harmonious blending of strings, vibraphone, and other instruments with the piano. Engage in collaborative play with the ‘Partner Mode,’ designed for two players to share the same register by dividing the keyboard into left and right sides. Whether for teachers and students or parents and children, this mode fosters shared musical experiences and enjoyable lessons.

Bluetooth audio support

Connect a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone to the Poetry and enjoy playing the piano along with your stored music or other audio. When you are not playing the piano, you can use the Poetry as a powerful Bluetooth speaker system.
