Keyboard's Great, Would Like Better AC Converter
I love this digital piano. Unlike my electronic keyboard, when I play the Privia it feels and sounds just like a real piano. It has other tones, of course, including a beautiful strings section sound. But if you want to play a piano, expressing yourself in each note, then this is an excellent way to go.

My only complaint is the power converter. You're supposed to unplug it when the piano is off. It apparently draws power from your AC even when the piano itself is turned off. And that's a nuisance. So I've got the converter plugged into a power panel that has an on-off switch. That seems to do the trick.

Best value available.
I'm not raving about this instrument--there are a lot of others I'd rather own.

But you can't get those, complete with furniture-grade stand, for $500 like you can this one--if your a member of everyone's favorite warehouse club based in Kirkland, WA.

Key action is decent, if a little light. Doesn't take long to accustom yourself to it. Samples are quite good, for such a cheap piece. Not long ago, you couldn't get piano sound this good from the $6000 Kurzweils, Rolands and Yamahas. Now everybody's got a new, improved piano sample, and they just keep getting bigger and better.

If you've been waiting for quality and price to converge at a point where it just makes sense to not go without a piano anymore, this might be your ticket. Any player will tell you you really need a real piano if you're really going to play. But as a low-budget piano alternative that doubles as a really fancy MIDI controller for your computerized composition needs, this thing is state of the art.

Of course, with something this small, if you really want the full range of the excellent piano sounds in its chip, you'll have to plug it into something a bit more substantial than its little bitty speakers. But for their size, these speakers don't do too bad. The sounds are stereo, giving a nice depth of field and providing a really good background with decent PA equipment. Much better than any of us had a right to expect from a $500 piece of gear in years gone by.

Mine is quite new, so I can't make any pronouncements as to longevity yet. But since it's sitting where it's likely to stay, this piano is likely to outlast those that get used for gigs.

Before this Privia line came out, I couldn't imagine using anything that said 'Casio' for performance. But if I were still gigging, I'd consider getting a road case for the PX-100 and putting it on my rack as one of the primary controllers--and I might even use its piano sample.

I'll say it once more: for $500 including a very nice stand, you can't go wrong. Use your favorite aftermarket pedal, though. The mouse that comes with this thing is a bit difficult.

Love it!
Just bought myself a Christmas present and this is it. I've played the piano since I was seven. A "real" piano is space- and cost-prohibitive for me right now but this is as close as you can get to the real thing and it's great! Since I'm a piano-playing purist, all the bells and whistles on this baby are new to me so I'm having fun discovering all the extra features. But the feel and sound are fantastic. I also bought the wooden stand for it, and it looks like a nice piece of furniture. Putting it together was easy (I did it by myself despite the directions to have two people put it together). Now if they could package this with a piano bench I would be really, really happy. And here's a hint...you can save some $ by buying this on the online store of a well-known warehouse store (yes, that one). You'll have to pay shipping but you'll still come out ahead.

BUYER BEWARE
I bought this item & the transpose function didn't work - might be a problem w/ the product - I know someone else who has the same problem.So, I sent it in for repair per their instructions.But, Casio repair service is the worst I've ever seen. They're even worse than Best Buy & that's pretty bad. They rec'd my item for warranty work on 11/23/04. At first I was told the turnaround for the repair was 5-10 business days. Then I was told that starts from the log date. THEN, I was told that it's 10-15 business days from the log date!!! They didn't even get around to logging it in until 12/7/04!!! They had the product 9 business days prior to even logging it in!!! I may never see my product again. So beware, if you purchase something from them, I hope you never have to have it repaired!

One of the best
I am obsessed with this keyboard. Why? Because it's the first one that I've seen and played so far that has PERFECT weighting on the keys, beautiful sound, and a GREAT price. This keyboard has been on my wishlist for a while now, ever since I first saw it at Sam's. I just want to reiterate how well Casio has done with this keyboard - While there are a limited range of tones available on the PX-100, there are plenty of features for someone who is like me - If you want the feel of a real piano with the weight of an electronic keyboard, this is the keyboard you want to look at. I just couldn't help but fall in love with the keys on this baby, I've played on keyboards with weighted keys before, but this one just takes the cake - The keys are weighted propertly, they spring back like they should, and the weight is ranged just right - the lower keys are just the slightest bit heavier than the higher end. This thing is a DREAM to play! Featuring midi input/output ports, two headphone jacks, pedal port and everything I've talked about so far, this keyboard is definitely something to look at if you want the warmth and feel of a real piano at the price and portability of an electronic keyboard. I highly reccomend this keyboard! ... Read more

Attention Pros: Huge Bang-for-the-Buck!
As a professional pianist/organist for nearly a half-century, I can tell you this: Casio has floored me with this keyboard!One usually associates the name "Casio" with entry-level toys.Not so the Privia series; these 'boards are the real deal.While all the available sounds are more than acceptable, the acoustic pianos are particularly fine.But the real stunners are the electric pianos; from the "60's" Wurlitzer-like patch to an authentic Rhodes and a very serviceable Yamaha DX/TX "digital" piano, I could scarcely believe my ears -- especially at this price!Loads of extras come with the Privia (especially the 400R), including usable effects and a decent split/layer setup.So far, the only downside (for me, anyway) is the number of steps necessary to convert the 'board to an external controller (I regularly use the piano to control the lower manual of a full Hammond setup); it would be nice to be able to set up a patch that could be accessed via one or two buttons, similar to a Roland, Kurweil or Yamaha piano/controller.

With the holidays fast approaching, the Privia is going to get a real workout.This is the true test of a keyboard -- how it holds up to all that schlepping ("The road is a hard mistress!").Guess we'll have to wait and see... ... Read more

The professional-level sound and keyboard touch give you all the quality you'd expect from a full concert grand.

A spring-less hammer system that is similar to the one used by grand pianos provides a keyboard touch that is naturally firm.

AMAZING DEAL FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS!
I just recently got my Williams Etude, and I love it. It's comfortable, has a variety of features, and has a lovely sound.

For reference, I am a classically trained pianist. I am 24 years old, and have been playing since I was 5.

The only complaint I have is that the keys aren't as touch sensitive as I would have preferred, but this feature is adjustable. Although, if you are playing a piece that jumps from pp to ff, you might have a problem executing that for it to sound the way it's written.

But all in all, this piano is an outstanding deal! ... Read more

excellent value, can't do better for this price
I did quite a bit of research before finally buying this keyboard.

It has better key-feel than all similarly priced models I tried and better than many higher priced models.

I ended up with the 300 specifically because I like its streamline look, and it's all black/gray/white, no wood finish, which I like.

Instead of buying the furniture stand made for it, I have it on a cheap X frame stand which is adequate and makes it easy to move.Since the keyboard itself is less than 30 lbs, seemed a shame to lock it into a furniture type stand.

Bottom line: highly recommended.

Casio Privia PX-300 Digital Piano
I own this item and have to say that the quality and value are on the up and up. The best sound is the default grand piano: very responsive, very realistic. Now, there are better piano sounds out there, but to get them you'll have to pay at least twice to three times as much. And, even then you may only get a slightly better quality sound over this unit. Really, for this price range the Casio is the way to go!

If I could change anything, it would be the speakers; they need to be a little bigger/louder. The sustain foot-pedal should also be a bit more substantial. As for the things I like, the stereo line outs are helpful so you can plug into an external amp. The headphone jack is good to keep from bothering others. The ability to transpose the piano into different keys is great! Visual appeal of the unit is very good: futuristic and streamlined, but not ostentatious.

For the beginner/intermediate looking for a decent piano in both sound and feel, and for the pro looking for an easily transportable practice (and perhaps even gigging) unit, this is it. No other full size piano to date is so mobile. Casio really put a lot of effort into this instrument and it shows. ... Read more

Product Description

A stereo-sampled dual-element ZPI sound source includes separate waveforms for strong key pressure and light key pressure, which accentuates the differences between the sounds produced by each. Multiple stereo samples are also taken of tones produced by an acoustic grand, from the low range to the high range. Notes remain natural sounding and realistic from the moment a key is pressed until the note decays, providing you with sound quality that is virtually identical to that of an acoustic grand piano.The keyboard is designed for a heavier feel in the lower range and a lighter feel in the high range, for a touch that is just like that of an acoustic piano. The keyboard does not use springs, and its action is provided by hammer weight for a truly authentic piano feel.The CELVIANO's Music Library includes a choice of 50 tunes for lessons and listening enjoyment.

Product Description

The Nord Electro 2 is the next big step in the development of the Nord Electro series of stage keyboards. Among the features of the Electro 2 you'll find the new Mega Clavinet sound which offers all the filter and pick-up variations of the original Clavinet D6! This means that you'll be able to access no less than 60 + 4 different Clavinet D6 sounds in the Electro 2!Thanks to the remade piano sample playback engine, the polyphony for the piano sounds is now greatly enhanced. The new piano sample playback engine also made it possible for Nord to digitally model the sounds you get when you release keys on a piano instrument. For example, the Clavinet and the Wurlitzer have very characteristic key release sounds. In Nord Electro 2 this is very faithfully modeled. The new sample playback engine also allows for playback of stereo pianos. In the new factory sound library Clavia has included a great new Acoustic Grand piano - in stereo. The Electro 2 also features great new vintage-style effects in the Effects section. Nord has also beefed up the Overdrive distortion to sound more like an overdriven tube amplifier.Nord Electro 2 fully supports USB download of Nord Electro piano samples. Now you will be able to download new piano instrument samples using Nord's specially developed Electro Tool sample dump program for Mac and PC! Additional piano sounds are available on the CD-R that comes with the Nord Electro 2 and also for download at www.clavia.se - free of charge! More... ... Read more

Absolutely great keyboard
I've been using this fine keyboard for over a year. Your audience may notice little more than the cool red color, but if you have any experience with instruments that emulate electro-mechanical keyboards and organs, you will realize right away that this is a truly fantastic product. The semi-weighted keyboard action is excellent. The controls are very easy to understand and use. I find the number of knobs to be a good compromise to satisfy both players who prefer to just call up presets, and players who like to modulate their sounds constantly. The "virtual drawbar" concept is very elegantly implemented -- it's a snap to adjust sounds, and the presets provided cover a good gamut of organ tones, from very mellow and smooth to highly modulated, ultra-beefy shrieks. The other instruments (grand piano, Yamaha C3 electric grand, Fender Rhodes, clav, and Wurlitzer electric piano) are super authentic. The unit looks good, and is rather light for its size. Also, Nord makes a padded gig bag for this keyboard which is really, really nice, with straps that let you wear the keyboard on your back -- very handy when you've also got to lug an amp and a keyboard stand! For keyboard players that are "purists" in the sense of only playing traditional keyboard sounds, this is the perfect gigging keyboard. ... Read more
