Customer Feedback-
"Casio PX800 has an excellent speaker set and a realistic keyboard. Although its tuning isn't perfect (like any acoustic piano and harpsichord), it produces a great sound. As a piano with a full size keyboard and three pedals, its footprint is surprisingly, and pleasantly, small. Its USB-MIDI functionality is also fantastic and extremely easy to use. Thanks to ferland.francois, this Casio keyboard is now Mac compatible." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I bought this digital piano to replace an older model after extensive searching on the internet. I must say, so far I have not been disappointed. I have only used the piano on the grand piano setting, but the sound quality is outstanding and it feels and plays almost exactly like an acoustic piano. I have been playing piano for 20 years, and love how it sounds." - Actual User Review -Amazon.com "IF THE PRIVIA PX-800 HAD THE NAME 'YAMAHA' OR 'ROLAND' INSTEAD OF CASIO, PEOPLE WOULD BE SNAPPING IT UP." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com "This is a very nice option for people with tight spaces and tight budgets. It feels and sounds like a real piano." - Actual User Review - Dealtime.com |
