No one notice how beautiful this piano is? For me it’s very important!
it looks like a device in a hospital, I prefer the classy SP 280 look^^
@@couchcamperTM why you so bitter lmao
I think it’s ugly :D So fat and bulky
@@johnhunter743 I think it's beautifully designed. But it is bulky (but thin)
It is not fat or bulky. This is actually quite a compact keyboard.
I just bought this piano online 5 minutes ago....Now im watching all videos about it again because im so excited hahaha
Have fun!
Doing the same thing right now lol.
Hello there ! Same here. As a beginner (3 months) i Love this piano. Love the sound, the design and the weighted keys. Actually, I can only play "clubbed to death - Rob Dougan" and "lux aeterna - Clint Mansell" (Requiem for a dream) but wow, It has nothing to do with the "squeak squeak" of my old first price synth 😂 it makes me feel like a prodigy, I'll try not to let it go to my head lol.
how is it after 4 months still good? or breaking up?
@@someone596 I own the B2N and mine is still 100%. I spend +- 4hrs a day on it.
I bought this as my introduction to piano, thank you for your review I've been using it for about 2 months now and I really like it.
Glad you are having fun!
From Australia thanks. A very informative video. Good work keep them coming.
Thank you for your videos and reviews... I have been going back and forth. Gonna get one soon.
Hi, I've been looking for a first piano for my son who is a begginer and your review convinced me to get this one! Thank youn so much 💕
Hi from Malaysia here! Thankss ever so much for the this good review! Really love watch all your videos.
And definitely will use your recommendations and advice as well.
Thank you for watching. 😊
so I've had this piano for about 4 months now and I can tell it's perfect to begin with. I don't have any other digital piano to compare it with, but I've been quite happy with the korg b2. Thanks for your review and for convincing me to buy it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Is there any plasticy sound coming from keys even when you don’t press them?
Bought this and connected it through an a old Rotel amp and 2 Ramsa monitor speakers. ( all at least 35 years old. ) The sound really came to life. The sound to me is much better than the same priced Yamaha models. I have 4 keyboards ( top of the range Technics - also very old ) so do not need any other sounds except the piano sounds. Now retired I am Learning piano again after 30 year layoff. Find this more than meets my needs and now sounds great. Love your videos. Honest with no bias. keep it up.
Thanks for sharing buddy.
I began the piano in Marche, and my parents buy the b2sp for xmas so i'm happy xD
Thanks for the honest review. Love it. I am planning to buy it today.
how is it after a whole year m8 lol?
2 years passed.. still using it? :D
Amazingly played and reviewed by Jeremy See , love the piano , love its rich sounds. Great Video Jeremy :)
It's a pleasure to see you playing! The first time I've seen a video from you, I didn't liked, it seemed to me that you were buzzing and I think I've posted an irritated comment. In fact you'r special, but you're good and you work a lot!!! I like you more each time I see a video from you. You've analyzed a lot of materials! It's impressive !
I've posted that to explain that some people could react like me, and I know that it can be difficult to have such a comment. So... continue and don't change anything!
I am very sure you are a very good teacher, and it's a pity you're so far!
See you in next video
Great video! Thanks..
I have used the black one. But it ain't as pretty as this.
The white one looks like a beautiful Cloud. 😍
thank you very much for the review seriously considering getting this for my 12 year old daughter.
Hey Jeremy I like ur vids they are really helpful. After a lot of consideration I have to decide between the Yamaha p45 and the Korg B2. Which do you recommend the most??
Great review.
Thank you, because your reviews are always unbiased
I have this piano and realy I'm very happy, us very simple, does'nt has so many functions but I like
Here are my RECOMMENDED pianos & keyboards
✔ International amzn.to/2YRQiq3
✔ UK/EU amzn.to/2ORjdqc
Thank you, Jeremy! I am a new piano student, and I just purchased this piano, thanks to your review. :)
Great choice. Have fun!
What are your thoughts on it after a year using it?
Just got the korge b2sp as a begginer to the piano soo excited to feel the weighted keys
Have fun!
Always wanted to learn to play and, thanks to your very thorough review, I just purchased a used B2SP. I plugged it in and by ear figured out the beginning (right hand only) to your first song (Señorita). Looking forward to downloading the app you recommended so I can start practicing and really learning.
The net cover over speaker… is it mesh fabric, metal, or plastic? I hope it’s not easily rippable.
@@honey.badger it's fabric, but seems tightly enough woven. No rips in it after previous owner's young kids used it for a few years. I wouldn't worry about it.
I really love the synth, I want to replicate the PC98 sound. Thanks
I like your videos bro. I've considered buying one👌🤝
This is an affordable beautiful piano. I’m buying the bundle!
not to mention, it looks soooo good
Good video, Which keyboard stand you use in the video ?
Hello @Jeremy See, can you say me what is the best 2nd hand good beginner piano ( maximum 10 Years old ) ? If i had enough money i would buy the ROLAND FP-30 or Yamaha P-125 but... not possible.
i have eard about the P-95 ( older but better than the p-105 ) ? other suggests ? old Roland (like F-20 ?) or Korg (sp170 ? sp280 ? ) Thank you (i'm not interesting by the actual first price digital piano... because not as good as i need)
Ordered mine today and tomorrow it will come, your review did convince me. I did not want to make the economical jump to the roland fp30x as this is my first piano for learn so I believe I will be very happy already.
Great choice!
@@JeremySee Any tip of what learning software to start with? I am between flowkey, simply piano and pianote or playground sessions... so maaany options to choose from.
So what’s up after 2 years of use?
I'm thinking of buying the b2sp, I don't know much about it, but I think it sounds great for a beginners piano
So far, the best review for korg b2. It will be good if you can review the flagship, g air series. There is not a decent review for that e piano.
Thank you 💞😊💓 so much, so very helpful and encouraging!!! Bless you 😃😃😃
Bought this last week, its on its way. Played the violin when I was 18 but quit after that. Always had the urge to restart. I'm 35 now...and I just went to the academie to resubscribe. I just hope i'm smart enough to play with both hands and read notes fast enough....in different keys.
learn at your own pace, and dont stop 💪💪💪
Hey, so, if I'm starting to play, will I need to change the piano because of the number of polyphony? The 120, is it going to be enough for a beginner- intermediate guy?
Hi 👋 i m thinking to buy a b2sp but for the same price there is also a Korg lp 180. Any opinions? Thank you very much
question About interface, I just got it last week, its beautiful, I have the sp200 too. ok my question , is there any way that I can use an interface with this one Jeremy ?
Nice review, as always! May i also ask what's the difference between korg b2 and korg d1? Thanks in advance!
th-cam.com/video/bUyLvQV0eBE/w-d-xo.html
Sir,by comparing digital piano and keyboard, which should I learn? Which is more advanced?
Sir,if I learn to read digital piano,Can I read keyboard perfectly?
I just started and B2N is my first digital piano.
Is there a way where you can connect to a different speaker? If there is please let me know. Thank you Jeremy
I bought it yesterday. Great piano sound, but i noticed that some of the keys when pressed give a very annoying cracking/clicking sound. Does any of you owners have experienced something similar?
My daughter has a Yamaha YDP 144 at her mothers that she loves, I am thinking of getting a Korg B2 for her at my house, is the Korg noticeably any worse than the Yamaha?
I just bought this today Great piano 🎹
Good choice!
I bought a korg b2 today. So much for the money! And all sounds are good, not only the piano. Only drawback for me is no line out but i use the headphones jack to monitors. Sounds great. 😀
Great choice! Have fun. 😉
No line out? Sounds like the entry level Roland TD 1 drums which only have a headphone out. You've got to get a splitter if you want headphones and monitors.
9:05... What a voice.. I feel like I am in haven while listening this voice..
Can you tell me which cable I need to order to connect my iphone/ipad with the Korg B2 for use with the module?
Can you use the usb midi cable to connect to your iPad and hear it in the korg speakers?
Roland go piano 88 or korg B2N????
Which one is better?
Very tight bugdet.
are the buttons dull or a little glossy ? i search for an Korg (or Yamaha) with glossy black notes
would be happy if someone can help
Mr. See, how does this KORG B2 against the competition in this price bracket?. Thanks in advance!.
I am about to buy a digital piano... Will it be yamaha p125 or shall i go bit more budget and get korg b2. It sounds good. But i wonder if the keybed is as good in the korg as in the yamaha?
Jeremy, is the B2sp a better value than the Donner SE-1 that you reviewed?
Does the Yamaha P45 have the connectivity for a three pedal system?
Can you make a review of roland fp-10 pleaseee... Thanks :)
Just ordered mine today. The white B2 is beautiful 😍 in my eyes. Thank you Jeremy
Have fun!
Hi Jeremy, I have had two 61 key unweighted Casio boards, along with an old 61 key unweighted Yamaha. The 88 key weighted boards are tempting, but seem to have much more potential for problems (more moving parts) and some comments or reviews suggest this is true. So I’m thinking maybe an unweighted 88 key board might be less likely to have issues with keys (dead keys, noisy keys, etc). The Korg B2N seems like a good candidate, however so far I haven’t seen any demos or reviews of it (the B2N being the B2 but without hammer action). Is the B2N the unicorn it would appear to be? Thank you! :)
Same question, which one did you end up getting if you don't mind me asking?
wondering which one is better, korg sp170s or korg b2.
Hola amigo entre este piano y el casio pxs1100 cual dirias que tiene mejor calidad de sonido?
Jeremy, please help with the Transpose. It's like 100 times I've done but still not able to figure it out 😒
How about Korg C1? Did you ever get the chance to try it?
Thank you Jeremy, i ended up buying it because of your review :))))
Have fun!
Still sounds very Korg-y. There is a certain resonance with Korg piano patches that somehow does not sound well with classical pieces. They do very well with Jazz though. But it's a very signature Korg piano sound that sounds as if there is an electric piano overlaid on an acoustic. For digital pianos, I still rank Roland in the lead, followed by Yamaha and then Casio with their latest collaboration with Bechstein.
Wut models you suggest?
Great video! I did a day's worth of research and bought the B2N a month ago, I don't know much but for 319 € it feels like a steal.
Great choice!
@@JeremySee The 2-handed playing seems impossible at first. I can play the Slayer, Metallica and Gn'R riffs just fine on the guitar. This is a whole new thing to learn, you need two brains.
Can this piano be attached to the computer for streaming, etc.?
Would you recommend Korg B2 or Casio CDP-S160? I need to choose between it
Dear Jeremy
Will you please explain how the polyfoni works on the Korg B2, is it only the electric piano that uses the full 120 polyfoni or does also the the grand piano use 120 polyfoni?
Another question, if a student buys the Korg B2, is it possible for the student to purchase the trippel pedal in the future or do the student need to upgrade and buy the Korg B2 SP?
Thanks for all the great TH-cam videos!
You can buy a triple pedal from korg. Some Piano sounds use layering so 2 polyphonies per sound. And the Italian piano uses 3 per sound.
do the polyphony limits apply even in a daw environment?
Do you know if the B2N feels more like a semi-weighted / touch sensitive synth? I’m wondering about the B2N for playing fast organ passages a and slides.
Yes B2N feels almost like a regular synth keys.
@@JeremySee Does it compare with the Yamaha PSR 310 in terms of feel for the keys?
Salve, sono una ragazza italiana, io vorrei comprare questo piano ma non riesco a capire se i tasti sono ruvidi o lisci. Di che materiale sono fatti? Io preferirei che fossero ruvidi. Grazie per il video.
Bedankt
Jeremy! I’m about to buy a keyboard to my 9 yrs old son and I’m between Yamaha DHX 660 88 keys and the KORG EK-50 61 keys. He will start learning . Ty and your great in what you’re doing.
If you have the budget, DGX-660
Could I create a song like pop songs with korg B2? I mean recording anothers sounds together and create a song like a playback. Thanks :-)
can you do Korg B1 vs B2 video?
You didn't mention lack of layering and splitting - something standard on cheaper keyboards from Alesis and Donner. Does have much better sound (via headphones) though, and a better keyboard.
Recently bought the korg. Like it a lot, However I do not notice a lot of reverb (if any) without the use of the paddles. Even when changing the piano preset to reverb on. Do you notice something similar, of do you maybe have a solution?
Just bought mine. Wired through sound mixer, Amp and 2 monitors. Although how sound is perceived is so personal to each of us, I have transformed how the B2 sounds at least to me , making it more fuller, richer and can add reverb and use graphic equaliser to tailor the sound to personal taste. My musical friends now say how great the piano sounds are. I think the sound engine is far better than the keyboard speakers can reproduce. Which I bellieve Mr. J See would / has agreed with . Anyhow enjoy the B2 and just keep playing .
Great review, good info. I’m really down to either the B2 or Yamaha P45. After seeing today’s video on the Yamaha LCD screen issues, I’m extremely wary of Yamaha’s customer service, especially since in my little corner of Kansas, the nearest real music store is an hour away in Joplin, two hours to Wichita or Tulsa, or 3 hours to Kansas City. So I’m really limited to Mail order, the support and quality has to be on point. So right now I’m like 90% in the B2 camp, unless I see an offering from Roland that I like. The GO Piano is a good value, but lack of true weighted keys is a turn off, and the FP30x is above my budget. I’ll post up what I buy.
Why not FP10 then?
Very strange to hear that american has no 900 usd to buy for himself a good thing....unexpected info
@@illusionyx907 just mean he spending money on other things
I want that book!!! Where can I get it?
Are keys making some plasticy sound after few days of use?
Does it have weighted keys comparable to a grand piano?
Hi Jeremy, i'm looking for a good portable digital piano that is easy to move arround with it, i have dgx660 at home but there's no way i could take that with me to another place because it's super heavy, do you think this korg is a good choice? Budget isn't my problem tho
If budget isnt your problem, you can look Casio's... They are very slim!
Is this piano better than Artesia pa 88 h or pa 88 w?
Which one do you recommend? Korg b2 or PX-S1100?
Thanks Jeremy, I'll order it this moment 399€😉
Torn between this, the Yamaha P-125, and the Donner DEP-20. Every time I make up my mind I talk myself out of it.
So, after all that deliberation, I went and got the Kawai KDP70.
@@Redundant_underscore how is it
I have the same question as many people, is this digital piano with weighted keys or not, because I see that there is a general doubt and they show the b2 and the b2n as the same model and clearly they are not. Does the b2n have hammer action weighted keys or not? Be precise in your answers
Since your the expert and you've tried all of these pianos, which one is better? Korg b2, Roland fp10, Yamaha p45? Was looking for excellent loud sound quality
th-cam.com/video/lleYtou0kUs/w-d-xo.html
Will the surface of the keys affect playing fast passages that much though?
I really consider buying this digital piano.
I bought it half year ago, and it doesnt affect for me! And if you practice passages wil be better!
When not playing any notes I have a low level hissing noise from both speakers, anybody else? If I turn the volume up the loudness of the hissing (thankfully) doesn't increase, which is something! But the fact that it is there at all is annoying to me, i'd expect total silence when not playing a note.
Thanks Jeremy, this is very helpful. Would you review some APP for self leaning? The APP from korg doesn't look like something for beginner. Roland and Casio feels better.
th-cam.com/video/aUOj6kIcetc/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremySee OMG!! I didn't see that!! It looks great and you are amazing!! Thanks again and again!!
is it worth to buy Korg B2N ? i have a tight budget
Can't help fallin in love with you
Can it be connected with studio monitors
some people complain about white background noise accompanying the sounds in that piano. anyone could confirm that?
What is the name of the input that uses the sustain? pedal where you can get a replacement?
Korg sells replacement sustain pedal.
Does it really have a hissing sound? or white noise? I have been seeing comments about that and I am scared of buying a product that has problems in sounds, especially because I have a very tight budget I do not want to waste my money. Thanks for anyone that will reply.
Any idea if this is available in India?
Thanks a lot for your review! I am considering between Roland FP-10 and Korg B2, do you have any recommendation between them? I used to play piano when I was younger (for about 8 years) and just trying to practice again at home. If you have any other recommendation within that price range, it will be much appreciated! :)
Only thing I know which Im not even sure its true , but I heard the fp have more natural piano sound
I have the same Question
Korg B2.
Roland action is heavier
@@kennyng5866 Which key action is better?.
what would you recommend between the korg b2N and the Alesis Recital pro.
agent of chaos yeah I would love to know the answer for this, hope someone can provide an answer. I’m on a tight budget for a dp
