Model Overview
The essence of the KORG G1B Air WA lies in the authentic experience it offers – the closest feel yet to performing on a true concert grand, something previously hard to achieve with digital instruments.
Attention to detail is evident throughout: its three-sensor keyboard system translates every aspect of your dynamics, from the softest pianissimo to a brilliant fortissimo. Each note sounds vivid and natural, retaining the tonal character of the selected piano.
Its sound engine is based on advanced multi-sampling technology, ensuring lifelike expression and depth. On-board reverb and hall simulation effects add a sense of acoustic space, so instead of a “flat” tone you experience a full three-dimensional performance environment.
Another highlight is the built-in four-speaker audio system. Designed to project sound as if radiating directly from the body of the instrument, it recreates the feel of a traditional acoustic piano. Whether playing at home or in smaller venues, you’ll enjoy a concert-like presence without needing external amplification.
Bluetooth connectivity is a welcome addition, letting you stream your favourite tracks directly through the instrument’s speakers and play along with them. It also opens up educational and creative possibilities — use backing tracks, explore learning apps, or practise by ear with greater freedom.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re a beginner pianist, a composer, or a teacher, the KORG G1B Air WA is designed to adapt to your needs. Those just starting out will benefit from its authentic keyboard feel and learn proper technique right away. Self-taught players will find inspiration in its expressive sound and ergonomic layout. Meanwhile, professionals and composers will appreciate its studio readiness and rehearsal flexibility, thanks to the range of tonal colours it delivers for arranging and performance.
Its modern connectivity makes it a strong choice for producers too: simply connect via USB to use it as a full MIDI controller within your DAW, opening a world of virtual instruments. For session musicians, it’s equally practical: the slim body is compact enough to transport between venues, yet its sound quality rivals that of a full acoustic grand.
