The LP-350 Lifestyle digital piano is a modern, slimline piano that will enhance your home—not only with its deeply expressive sound, but also with its beautiful appearance. Designed to visually complement nearly any living space, it is less than 11 inches deep,making it both space-saving and efficient. When not in use, the soft-closing keyboard cover leaves a smooth, flat top with absolutely no protruding hinges, allowing the LP-350 to become part of your room's decor. Don't be fooled by its skinny profile, however, the LP-350 is equipped to provide a robust and accurate piano performance, complete with a grand-touch action keyboard, three pedals, and a powerful speaker system which delivers its rich piano sound. The piano sound of the LP-350 was meticulously sampled—in stereo—directly from a concert grand piano to ensure a lavishly resonant tone.

The LP-350 extends beyond piano to include a rich variety of sounds—thirty in all—including Vibraphone, Marimba, Acoustic Guitar, multiple Jazz Organs, Church Organs, and more. In addition, the Layer mode allows two sounds to be played simultaneously with the balance between the two sounds also being adjustable. The LP-350 has been designed with Korg's finest piano touch and feel, using their RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) technology. Just as on a traditional grand piano, the keyboard provides a heavier playing touch in the lower register, becoming progressively lighter towards the upper keys. Refinements designed for capturing rapidly repeated strikes ensure that the your expressive abilities will not be impaired even during fast passages. Three levels of touch sensitivity are available using the Key Touch Control function, allowing you to customize the dynamic response to your own playing style.
