KORG has announced the second Poetry digital piano — the Poetry Magnifique — to sit alongside the Poetry which launched in January last year.
It shares many of the same specifications as the Poetry but has a slightly different construction and more connection options. It also has a more powerful speaker system.
As before, it features two stunning piano sounds: the 1843 PLAYEL which was Chopin’s piano of choice — tuned to 430Hz — plus the contemporary Italian Fazioli concert grand.
