Liano, Introducing Korg’s All New Slim, Lightweight Digital Piano

Think about how much more enjoyable life would be with a piano! A piano can make every day more enjoyable by providing music, expression, entertainment and fulfilment. However, a piano requires space, is heavy, requires tuning and may be too loud for some residencies. So what can you do about this?

Introducing Liano, Korg’s All New Slim, Lightweight Digital Piano

While still providing a full-size 88-key keybed, the Liano is only 7cm thick and 130 cm deep, including speakers. While maintaining the crucial functionality and performance of a piano, you gain from the design’s slim, lightweight.

The Liano’s primary functions are very straightforward to grasp. It’s easy to quickly switch between one of eight sounds, including piano, electric piano, organ, strings, and more, by turning the front panel dial. Among the sounds, a well-known Italian grand piano with a lovely tone that is frequently heard at concerts around the world is the star. Reverb and chorus are two Liano effects that give the sound more depth.

To deliver sound directly to you, speakers are situated on the front panel. Specially created ports on the bass reflex speaker enable it to produce a dynamic low-end sound that would otherwise be challenging. A handy headphone socket is also included for private practice.

Liano is simple to move around and store as needed because it weighs only 6.2 kg (plus about 200 g when six optional AA batteries are installed) even with 88 keys and speakers. Liano can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings thanks to its portability and optional battery power!

You can use the Liano alone or in conjunction with a computer to record music on your DAW software, manage an app that provides additional piano sounds, or otherwise increase the functionality of the instrument.

We see the Liano being a perfect instrument for home use, in the studio, for performance indoors or outdoors. Being that it only weighs 6 kg, it is seemingly the perfect digital piano to take to your gigs for a quick set-up for when you are requested to play a Billy Joel tune. 🎹😂
