Have Korg always made keyboards?

Korg began in 1962 and initially manufactured primitive drum machines. After a few years manufacturing keyboard organs and finding the market had become saturated, Korg decided to expand into the relatively new synthesizer market.

Where does the name Korg come from?

Korg combines the last initial of each of its founders Tsutomu Katoh and Tadashi Osanai, "KO", with the beginning word "Organ", to make the name KORG.
