For players interested not only in classical, but also jazz, rock, or funk, the convenience of being able to play in a practice room plus the mobility to take the D1 anywhere is key. On top of that, a carefully fine-tuned playing feel is crucial. The D1 is a piano that delivers on all counts for pianists and keyboardists of any genre.
The D1 is focused on providing the ultimate in slim, compact design. The result is a top-class keyboard that reproduces the playing feel of a grand piano, and yet is highly portable. With its high-quality keybed developed by KORG and a rich variety of 30 sounds that will shine on stage, this instrument is the perfect fit for daily practice or performance
The D1 features a real weighted hammer action 3 (RH3) keybed that reproduces the touch of a grand piano, where the low notes are heavier and the action becomes lighter as you play toward the higher notes. With this keybed's natural-feeling touch and weight, you'll want to keep playing it forever.
The chassis construction has been rethought with a new structure and design that slims the body to a depth of approximately 26 cm* (10.24"), the minimum depth that still allows enjoyable playing. Even though the D1 features a full-fledged weighted keybed, it's highly mobile, and can be carried anywhere in its dedicated SC-D1 soft case (sold separately). The stylish ST-SV1 stand (sold separately) completes a great-looking setup on stage or in your room.
*: Without the music rest
The D1 contains a total of 30 richly expressive sounds which include not only a variety of piano sounds to cover genres such as classical, jazz, and pop, but also electric piano, organ, and clavi sounds that will be useful on stage, and even sounds such as vibraphone, acoustic guitar, and strings.
In order to achieve a playing feel that's amazingly close to that of an acoustic piano, the sound switches between four piano samples depending on the dynamics of your performance. From a delicate touch to dynamic fortissimo, the sound responds realistically to your playing. The overall piano sound is enjoyable to play and delivers an authentic experience.
The electric piano sounds reproduce not only the tonal differences in response to your playing touch but also the key-off noise. Six variations are built in, covering sounds often used in the popular music of the '60s and '70s as well as tones that are treasured in soul music.
Six versatile sounds are provided, ranging from sounds used in rock or jazz to solemn pipe organ tones.
The D1 features functionality that reproduces the sound of a grand piano, enabling natural-sounding and great-feeling performances.
The Concert Piano, Grand Piano and Jazz Piano sounds reproduce damper resonance, realistically simulating the spacious resonance produced by the sympathetic vibration of the strings when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano.
The D1 also simulates the decay of the sound when you take your finger off a key and the way in which your playing technique affects the string resonance, responding to staccato or legato in a natural way that further enhances the expressiveness of your performance.
The metronome can be turned on/off at a touch. Layer mode lets you layer two sounds simply by pressing two sound buttons simultaneously, for example letting you combine strings or vibraphone with the piano sound that you're playing. The touch control function lets you choose from five settings (light, standard, heavy, stable, fixed) to specify how the sound responds to your playing dynamics, allowing you to enjoy performing with the response of your choice. Three high-quality effects are also built-in: brilliance, reverb, and chorus. The optimal effect for each internal sound is already specified as a preset, so you can simply select a sound and focus on playing it with the best possible tone.
The D1 provides the external connection jacks that you'll need on stage. The standard-sized LINE OUT jacks can be connected directly to amplified speakers or to recording equipment. MIDI IN/OUT connectors are also provided. You can connect these via a MIDI interface to your computer, and use the D1 as a MIDI keyboard or as a piano sound module.
The music rest that's indispensable for stage performance is included standard, and can easily be attached to the D1. Also included is a compact-sized damper pedal for convenient portability.
The CONCERT series is a line of pianos that are designed to provide the same performance experience as when listening or playing in a concert hall, in every aspect of sound, touch, and musical experience. This lineup lets you enjoy playing in any situation, from home use to performances on stage.

Very professional and spent lots of time making sure I was comfortable with the right purchase.
I could have done with a stand for it so I 'll be back!
Yamaha PSRSX600 Keyboard
Anyone looking for professional help with purchasing a keyboard I would highly recommend Keysounds Piano and Keyboard Specialist shop in Hinckley. The whole team are extremely knowledgeable. They go above and beyond and excel with customer care. I went to purchase a small keyboard to play in a carehome. I ended up buying the Yamaha PSRSX600. Wow! thank you Steve for recommending it. I am absolutely thrilled with it. The service really is second to none. I have to say this is by far the best Music shop I have ever purchased from. The staff all get a big 10 out of 10 from me.
Casio PXS1100-W Piano
Very good
Yamaha Genos 2XL Keyboard
Product knowledge and a very friendly service comes as standard with these guys. You are not pushed or hassled into purchasing just shown the way according to your requirements. There is also a clear after sales back up on hand should you need it - that is very reassuring to me.
Yamaha PSRSX700 Keyboard
The service from Keysound has been excellent and with yet more advisory support I have enjoyed my buying experience. The proprietor, Steve, is so knowledgeable and helpful I would find it difficult to fault them. Fabulous new Yamaha keyboard
Yamaha Pre-Owned Genos XL Keyboard
The service was brilliant could not ask for better first class Woud recommend to anybody
Yamaha CSP275-B Piano
I could not recommend Keysound more. I went in thinking I'd done enough research and knew what I wanted, but talking with Steve we were able to find the perfect fit for me. The service, the delivery and the product could not have been better. I would recommend Keysound to anyone and everyone.
Roland FP30X-B Piano
I had an idea which digital piano we might go for, but wanted to try it out. There was plenty of time to try all the pianos that we wanted, and Key Sound took the time to explain pianos and digital pianos to us. I believe the aftersales care should be good - we are yet to make use of this.
Yamaha CSP275-WH Piano
Great service from Keysound.
I never met anyone face to face for my purchase, but everyone I've spoken to has been charming and helpful.
Delivery was on time, although I did not take advantage of the assembly service as the room it was to be located was not ready.
However self assembly was straightforward. A lot of cardboard!
Kawai ES920P-WH Piano
Recently purchased Kawai es920 from key sound. Really happy with purchase.
Shop good with large display of pianos and keyboards.
Staff really helpful and interested in supplying my needs. Have returned to shop a few times for advice and tips and they were only to glad to help.
Great asset for hinckley.
