This review is from: Casio PX-110 Privia Digital PianoAs a kid I learned how to play on a real piano for 8 years. I bought this keyboard three months ago wanting to play more and have been very satisfied so far. Pros:1. The tri-element ZPI casio menions makes the keys pressure sensitive so that when you play softly or loud it will sound that way.2. Metronome comes in handy3. Easy-to-use record button lets you playback what you just played during practice4. Comes with a practice pianobook with 59 pieces including 3-4 of the more popular Chopin, Schubert, Schumannn, Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Beethoven pieces and some lighter ones like The Entertainer.5. Overall great sound for this price rangeCons:1. Having previously played mostly on a grand piano, the keys here don't feel completely weighted, but it isn't difficult to adjust. 2. 10 tones (2 grand pianos, 2 electric pianos, 1 harpsichord, 1 vibraphone, 1 pipe organ, 1 percussion organ, 1 strings/violin, 1 acoustic bass) may be limited amount for some...
This review is from: Casio PX-110 Privia Digital PianoCasio has redeemed itself from the "lightup" keyboards that are honestly nothing more than toys. Fearing the quality of this instrument would be similar to their other models, I spent a lot of time considering Yamaha's selection at music stores. While the sound was great, the keys on many of their models within a price range of $600 weren't weighted and just didn't feel like an actual grand piano. Then I came upon the Casio Privia PX-110. The keys were weighted properly according to each register and the sound was simply amazing. I managed to purchase this for approx. $400.00 online and have been using it for well over a year now. The instrument is portable and offers a great value and experience for pianists of all levels. While the 32 note polyphony does have its limitations (i.e. laying your forearms across the keys will result in only a few scattered notes) I highly doubt I will need anything higher with music of traditional genres; since it can keep up with prokofiev and rachmaninoff, I doubt there will be much of a problem. The upgraded version of the PX-110 has very few differences. One other key feature is the headphone outlet. For those in cramped quarters, or the pianist who wishes to practice late in the night without disturbing others, this feature is excellent; alongside the recording option which allows you to playback your performances. From my recollection, there were only a few more instrument sounds available. Since most people shopping for an instrument like this want a professional quality digital piano, I don't think the lack of a banjo sound will affect the purchase decion. In essence, this instrument is exactly what I was looking for. Something that's portable, sounds great, touch sensitive, and capable of demanding pieces in the classical repertoire. I highly recommend this digital piano.Word to the wise, it is possible to damage the instrument (obviously any instrument). I accidentally dropped the piano a while back and almost the entire keyboard register was unhinged from the hammers. The good thing about this instrument is that you can take it apart and fix any mechanical problem quite easily. Granted, if issues arise with regards to electronics, you might have some problems. Like any musical instrument, the highest care should be taken with it at all times. I hope to find a case for it soon if one exists....
This review is from: Casio PX-110 Privia Digital PianoI am a novice with pianos. The piano was bought for my son to learn. His instructor was insistent on him having a real piano to learn on. So we were looking for an economical alternative. The digital piano was the perfect fit. The piano is light and it sounds really great. For the price it cannot be beat. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a piano but cannot afford an acoustic one. The key action is very realistic. My son really enjoys playing on a real piano. A keyboard just does not compare. The quality of construction is great. We ended up having to get the custom stand for it. A regular generic stand just would not work....
