About this model

A stage slab: no cabinet, no stand, no built-in pedals. You are buying the key bed and the sounds, and it was £428 new at Thomann UK in October 2026.

UK stock is thin and imported ones, mostly from Japan, ask more once VAT is added, so compare like with like. Check every key on its own, because on a slab the action is most of the value.

What to check before you buy

Every key, checking for clicks, double-triggers and uneven weight
Sustain pedal socket
Headphone out (both sides)
Speakers not rattling
Music rest present

Questions people ask about this model

What is a Korg D1, exactly?

An 88-key stage slab: no cabinet, no stand and no built-in pedals. You are paying for the key bed and the sounds, and a new one was £428 at Thomann UK in October 2026.

Why do some Korg D1 listings cost much more?

UK stock is thin, and a lot of what is listed here is imported, mostly from Japan. Imports ask more once VAT and shipping are added, so compare like with like.

What should I check on a used Korg D1?

Every key on its own, pressed at both ends and in the middle. On a slab the action is most of the value, so a sticky key is a repair, not a bargain.

Selling one on

Yamaha P-45/P-125, Roland FP-10/30, Casio Privia sell within days - parents and students buy constantly. Console pianos with furniture stands are slow (nobody wants to move them).

Collection only; 88-key units are 12-20kg and awkward. Include stand and pedal if you can.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Korg D1 in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
