Īlso called 'Piano-Lodeon' or 'Piano Lodeon' Korg’s M1 workstation was released in 1988 and became the biggest selling synthesizer at that period.PianoLodeon Toy Player Piano - Information I've collected CLOSED UNTIL -CLICK HERE. Korg is known for its innovation and is credited with developing the transpose function, the addition of effects on synthesisers as well as the sample + synthesis sound. Korg began to focus on organs with relative success until in 1973 the company shifted into the niche synthesizer market with the release of the Mini Korg which is still in production today. The name Donca Matic came from the sound the machine made. Korg was founded as Keio Electronic Laboratories in Japan in 1962 and its first product was an electro mechanical rhythm machine the Donca Matic DA-20 in 1963. Musos Corner is proud to be an authorised retailer and service agent for Korg audio equipment. The body makes extensive use of wood for a solid feel when touched, giving it a sense of quality and sophistication that elevates the instrument above the category of toy piano, thus making it ideally suit the decor of any room. The cute design is essentially a miniaturized upright piano, with a fallboard just like on a real piano, and a miniature 25-note keyboard made by KORG for ease of playing. With an emphasis on safety and durability, moving parts have been reduced to the minimum and the volume has also been adjusted to a modest level that will be appropriate for a child's ears. The tinyPIANO lets you play the deep, rich tones of a sampled grand piano with the stable pitch that you expect from a digital piano. A truly valuable present for our children must be of a quality that will satisfy the adult who chooses the gift. KORG believes that the way to foster a true sense of value is to be in contact with true quality from the very beginning.

The KORG tinyPIANO is a digital piano made by a musical instrument manufacturer renowned for professional pianos for the children who carry the future. If the instrument has correct pitch and accurate tone, a child who plays with the instrument will look forward to better instruments as they grow older. Just because something is called a toy piano, doesn't mean it has to sound like a toy. If it's an instrument, the sound of that instrument continues to reverberate in our hearts and minds even when we become adults.
