See above, everything is well detailed.
For the price, it is rare to find a rich configuration.

UTILIZATION

Touch is admirable. Not too hard (as some right or clavinova pianos) or too soft. He can play the classic easily. The "Hammer scale" (keys severe acute heavier than keys) does not look bad. The piano is really compact and yet we believed to play an acoustic grand. The quality of the keys is quite good for the price. They make very little noise, which is also a good point.
The number of buttons on the console has been reduced significantly compared to the px110, giving it more sober (I think). Adjustments are made through the piano keys. It's pretty convenient, but for some functions, you better have the manual in a tablet. The latter is very clear when with him. We find easily what you search.
I have not used the midi channels. We may regret the lack of USB port.

SOUNDS

Eleven sounds only. It's really a piano to play the "piano" (it is not really optimized for the organ or other). The piano sounds are excellent, and brightness settings for reverb and other permetttent to adjust the sound according to his tastes. other sounds such as violins are average.
In terms of speakers ... Heum ... They are a bit light (2x8W). It is a portable keyboard, so it helps out well. Intensive use sounds are a little confusing, especially when you mount the volume. However, they do not saturate (crackle, clipping). One can say thank you to the 128-voice polyphony ..
on the other hand, when you plug the piano on a real amp with speakers, the sounds give chills. It's pretty impressive, you'd really a grand piano.

OVERALL OPINION

It is now two months I use it extensively and it shows no sign of weakness. I'm still as much fun to practice and this, day after day.
For the price, I have not found better. Casio has really worked hard and even exceeds some yet more expensive Yamaha. For tat really otpimal, it is better to acquire the CS65 stand and pedals optional SP30 (total = € 120) and a good amp. Piano with these options and provides stunning looks very similar sensations of a real acoustic. It can be used as piano study, very convenient when not much room at home. Purists will certainly find things to complain about, but finding a piano that has made such a compact is an achievement unmatched. If it again, I will not hesitate to buy it again. I takes only 8 / 10 because I am very objective, I am not to sell my piano, but to give an opinion.
