The Korg SV-2 is a fantastic stage piano, especially for gigging musicians needing a solid electric piano, organ, and piano voice selection. It nails the vintage vibe with that tube drive, and the keyboard action is a genuine step up from cheaper models—a great balance of pro features and portability.
