You can't get really get a good guitar for under $300, so how does that translate when something as significantly more complex as a keyboard comes into play? This, to me, is the bare minimum starting point. Do not buy a keyboard under this price range, unless it is an equivalent model used. I bought this as a B-stock listing, with some scuffs on the keys (I rubbed them off with naptha, just don't get it on any other plastics) and glue on the grill cloth, which won't come off. No biggie, given the savings of $150! This B2 is a beauty to behold, albeit it's 90% plastic. They put most of the money into the weighted keys, which feel phenomenal, and are balanced correctly across the board. Looking between the keys with a flashlight, the circuit board is visible, so be sure to cover your Korg after, and wash your hands of all the KFC chicken grease before playing...it wouldn't be an easy or fun task to clean out this thing. Based on my subjective taste, I consider this the best sounding keyboard under six hundred dollars. It looks simple and classy, it has a USB out for recording to a computer, and the speakers are surprisingly good. One final knock against it is the hilarity of a proprietary connection for a damper pedal. To give them credit, the included pedal is very high quality. Sadly, with its ethernet-type connector being a flimsy clip-in design, and the port on the piano being unusually wobbly, it is the weakness of the entire system. I know of no piano even beneath this price range that stoops to this level, but it's obvious Korg wants a) for you to break the connectors and get a new Korg, or b) if you want to buy a set of 3 pedals, it HAS to be a Korg made specifically for this keyboard. It would be a fantastic investment to learn on this thing and, once you earned some chops, trade and upgrade to a better keyboard who's case doesn't feel like it will crack after a small knock. But given that my B-stock model was beat a little, it shows no real damage. Perhaps my paranoia is unjustified.Read full review

Really great sounds and a good piano feel. Not as heavy as the Roland, more similar to the Yamaha feel. IMO a better sounding speaker system than the Roland FP30 and I like the Acoustic and Electric Pianos variations better in the Korg B2.
