This review is from: Casio PX-800 Privia Digital Piano with Weighted Scaled Hammer Action KeysCasio PX800 Privia Digital Piano with Weighted Scaled Hammer Action KeysMy wife and I own a large Steinway grand piano and a small harpsichord in our living room. We bought this digital piano as a replacement of our old MIDI keyboard and for nighttime practice. Casio PX800 has an excellent speaker set and a realistic keyboard. Although its tuning isn't perfect (like any acoustic piano and harpsichord), it produces a great sound. As a piano with a full size keyboard and three pedals, its footprint is surprisingly, and pleasantly, small.Its USB-MIDI functionality is also fantastic and extremely easy to use. Thanks to ferland.francois, this Casio keyboard is now Mac compatible. (Casio supports Windows only.)Not only does this piano function as a great stand-alone musical instrument with an ample set of features and realistic touch, but also it works as an excellent input device for Apple's GarageBand....
This review is from: Casio PX-800 Privia Digital Piano with Weighted Scaled Hammer Action KeysI got the PX800 this summer and it is absolutely perfect for me! I am a music major with an emphasis in piano and I needed something small enough to practice on that would fit in my apartment and that felt and sounded as close to a real piano as I could possibly get. After much searching online and comparing many different models and brands, I finally found the PX800 and ordered it. The shipping only took a couple of weeks, and the set up wasn't too hard. (It is a good idea to have two people put it together.) I am amazed at how much it sounds like a real piano! The speakers have a wonderful clean sound (although the sound comes from under the piano instead of the top). The keys are weighted and very touch-sensitive, allowing you to achieve the softest and loudest sounds as you play. The three pedals work just like the pedals on a normal piano, and although they are plastic they feel quite sturdy. As for the features, there are a variety of different instrument sounds, including organ, electric piano, harpsichord, and strings, that are easily programmable by pushing a button on the side and then pressing a key that corresponds with each sound. There is also a built in metronome, a wonderful feature for a piano major like me as I am learning my music. And one of the most practical features, in my opinion, is the VOLUME CONTROL! (That way I can practice late at night without bothering the neighbors!) And there are many more features, including a slot to insert a memory card and transfer it to your computer. It also adds a nice decorative touch to any room. I was a little concerned at how orange the wood looked in the picture and that it might clash with the dark wood furnishings that I already had, but it looks very nice! Also, I love the key cover that slides down to protect the keys!All in all, this is a fabulous digital piano (for a great price) and one that I cannot say enough good things about! Perfect to fit in small spaces where a real piano can't! I am very happy with the decision that I made when I chose this piano! You won't be disappointed!!!...
This review is from: Casio PX-800 Privia Digital Piano with Weighted Scaled Hammer Action KeysI had been eying the PX-320, but I have no need to move it around and I really wanted something that was nicer looking in the house, without seeing all the cables etc. I prefer this to the 320 because of the 3 pedals, which work quite nicely, and ascetics of it. I had actually gone into the store thinking I was going to buy the Yamaha YDP-213, because of the console look, but saw the PX-800 and after playing both the choice was clear. I prefer the action of keys, sound, and speakers all above the Yamaha - and I like the look better. Plus because this is a newer model it has 128 polyphony, SD card, USB connections, and all the things I wanted in the 320. For me this was the perfect digital piano to have in the house, and it was easy to assemble, took about 1/2 hour by myself. I highly recommend it!...
