Casio Pianos & Organs

I paid ~ 699.00 from Musician's Buy. Shipping was included. For a gigging/teaching/recording pianist, nothing comes close to the "feel" of the Casio PS20. It's by far the best action of any digital piano up to $1500. And, yes, I've played them all. On board speakers are perfect for even small live performances. MIDI, 64-polyphony, and great effects (Chorus/Reverb) and tunability!! Can transpose on the fly and record a song in real time too. Love it. Don't care about a lot of sounds, but Casio could have tossed in a few more, i.e. strings, bass, etc. It's heavy, but the real hammer-action and "true" piano feel are worth the weight. Excellent build quality. Nice aluminum panel. Easy to operate. Nice controls, nobs, etc. If you are looking to purchase a digi-piano, look no further than Casio's PS20. Some of my Roland and Korg friends now have "digital piano envy", especially when they see the price.....hmmm. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

This Casio Privia PX- 3bk is great for the money. I’ve always had Roland and Yamaha but Casio has out done themselves. I recommend this piano for the quality of sound and the light weight. I like the fact that it is half the price of the rest. Thank you Stuart for your help and professional attitude. The rhythms in the auto accompaniment section are - "close to perfect", the 16 track recorder is sheer genius the display is very dim though so if you are using for live gigging on stage it will bring about some issues for you. UTILIZATION I easily hooked it up to my computer recording software - the directions in the manual are easy to understand. I got it specifically for the purpose of using it with my computer and because it has built in speakers that face out toward the people and toward me. It can also be hooked into a PA system or a just a free standing speaker with a 1/4" cable - so easy! Even has a stand for music. Plus to make this board even better its only 25lbs. SOUNDS Sounds great, and has a very real feel to it. You couldn't ask for more out of a an affordable keyboard. OVERALL OPINION This is a really amazing deal. I looked constantly for a mid-range priced keyboard (meaning I was desperately hoping I could find something decent for under 1k). I was hoping to spend around 600 tops. The quality and sound of this blew me away immediately so I bought it after seeing it for less than 15 minutes. It took me an hour to check out all 250 sounds and they are all incredible. The weighted keys are perfect for adding dynamics easily to your playing. If you play them soft they are surprisingly very quiet and if you pound them, they sound like you're pounding a piano. I can't say enough good things about this. I'm so glad that I found this. It really is a steal.
