4.0 out of 5 stars great value, June 21, 2008

This review is from: Casio PX200 Privia Digital Piano with Hammer Action (Electronics)

I'm a semi-pro jazz pianist. I own an old Balwin baby grand and a top end Roland rd700sx keyboard. I bought the Casio as a practice keyboard at my summer home. I couldn't be more pleased with it. The action is very heavy (a good quality) - heavier that either of my other pianos, but not as much as your average Steinway grand. But the action is also very responsive and quite a pleasure to play. The primary piano sound is balanced and nice to listen to (the others not so).
The tone is no where as beautiful or as expressive (wide dynamic range) as my Roland, but the Roland cost 4 times as much!.

It is very useful for practicing and the built-in speakers are loud enough to play in a party setting. I've used it for gigs with a stereo amp and it's very adequate - and weighs 27 lbs. I've seen it selling for less at other online musical instrument sites so check around.

All in all a very nice keyboard and well worth the cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice digital piano, heavy keys make noise, November 7, 2008

I bought this piano on Music123, which offers a better deal than Amazon here. I also got a stand that connects to the sides of the piano, so that makes it better since I don't have to find a table for it or anything.

The piano sounds good and clear. I feel like when I make mistakes on this piano, it is more obvious that on a real piano. But I like it anyway. The best thing is being able to adjust the volume and also use earphones. This way, I don't have to worry about being too loud and disturbing the neighbors (or my roommate) when I play.

It certainly is different from playing a real piano. But it is convenient that it's much smaller, so it's great for a college student like me who does not have much space in the apartment room.

The keys are weighted, so it doesn't feel flimsy like a keyboard or anything. The only problem with this piano is that you can actually here the physical sound of the weighted keys being played--which is kind of loud sometimes, especially if the volume is on low. It's not really a problem when the sound is up to the same level as a real piano, and certainly is not audible when you are using earphones. However, that is the reason why I don't give it 5 stars. Otherwise, I really like this digital piano. (FYI, it's the first piano/digital piano I got, so I may not be able to compare much).

this is a nice piano. it has a really nice, full sound to it. i bought it so that i could practice on it instead of my console. it is very similar in nature. the keys on this one are a little heavier than my console. it is more than loud enough. i couldnt outsing it in a million years. i typically never go over 40-45% on the volume. i have read reviews about needing an amp for this piano, but it isnt necassary. it is ideal for practice and i like the piano tones(i never mess with the others).
