The Korg C1 Air is an 88-note home digital piano on a stand that carries three pedals, with Bluetooth audio built in. Black suits a modern living room, or a studio corner where it should stay discreet. Grade students, home teachers and returning adults are all catered for.
Two grand pianos, sampled in stereo
Hold the sustain pedal down on an acoustic instrument and the undamped strings ring in sympathy. Korg models that behaviour in both the German and the Japanese concert voices, so chords bloom instead of merely holding on. Key-off simulation covers the release, reproducing the faint noise a finger makes as it leaves. Small things. Together they take a lot of the stiffness out of the response.
What the keys feel like
Under the lid sits Korg's RH3, a real weighted hammer action that spans A0 to C8. Five touch curves control how hard you must press for a given volume, which lets a child and an adult share one instrument without either fighting it. Set it once and leave it. Master tuning and transpose are on board, along with three temperaments for early repertoire.
Output for a real room
Two 10 cm drivers sit in the stand, each fed by 25 watts. Loud enough for a flat. Brilliance, reverb and chorus step through three levels apiece, so you can add hall ambience or leave the tone dry, and the bottom end holds together when you push the volume. And with headphones plugged in, the Stereo Sound Optimizer widens the image so a long session never feels closed in.
Recording and the built-in songs
Two tracks. That is all the recorder gives you, and it is all most players need, whether you are auditing a left-hand voicing alone or overdubbing onto an existing take. Playback tempo is adjustable, and memory holds 99 user songs. Fifty pieces come loaded as well, ten showing off the sound banks and 40 there to be studied, with either hand mutable and A-B repeat to loop the bar that keeps tripping you up.
Splits, layers and partner mode
Press two sound buttons at once and voices stack, piano under strings being the obvious pairing. One alone drops a bass tone into the low register. Walking lines, sorted. Because partner mode divides the keyboard into two matching halves, each with its own sustain pedal, a teacher and a pupil can face identical ranges without leaning across.
Underfoot and round the back
Fitted to the stand are three pedals: damper, soft and sostenuto. The full grand complement. Half positions work on the first two, which matters once you start shading sustain rather than switching it on and off. Round the back you get line out, MIDI in and out, two headphone sockets, and connectors for the pedal and speaker units. Bluetooth A2DP streams from a phone or tablet, so backing tracks arrive through the same drivers you practise against.
