Where it sits
Its price class holds 36 digital pianos between €215 and €780 (EU street prices) – the Korg B2 sits in the lower third there. The Korg Liano L1 from the same brand sits around €58 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Donner DDP-80 and Thomann DP-28 Plus.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- Real NH hammer action – serious piano learning possible
- 12 very decent sounds instead of a sound flood
- USB audio+MIDI for learning apps
Against it
- No Bluetooth
- Few extras – deliberately reduced (no display)
- Discontinued – the B2+ successor (EU approx. €430–480) is in our spec-sheet catalog
