The Privia is the revolutionary digital piano that makes it possible for just about anyone toexperience the joys of playing the piano. Stylish, compact, and priced for affordability, the Privia provides authentic piano sound and feel in your room or just about anywhere else. The PX-310 also includes a Bass Reflex System which will allow you to reproduce low frequency sounds as well as a dedicated tweeter to produce the diverse range of added tones and accompaniments. Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard for authentic grand piano feel Lower notes play relatively heavier than higher notes, just like the keys on a grand piano. Selectable touch sensitivity even lets you configure the keyboard for a light touch that makes it possible for your fingers to really fly when they need to. Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI Sound Source A Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI sound source includes separate waveforms for strong key pressure, medium 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. 32-note polyphony helps to ensure you never lose notes due to damper pedal operation. High-quality, versatile tone, with laye...

Customer Rating: Summary: Great for an electronic piano... finally I can play! Comment: This little, lightweight piano is the answer to my dreams, since I can't carry my beloved baby grand with me, and finally gave in and bought my very first electronic, digital piano... along with my now beloved Mac laptop preloaded with GarageBand! I can record everything with the click of a button and go back in later and write whole orchestrations, "just like the big boys." It's really amazing. Simply another world that anyone can enter, for such a small admission price. Heaven, anyone?
These instruments (yes, the laptop is also an "instrument" that you must learn how to play) have changed everything for me. Especiallly now that there is a 3-pedal setup you can also add: the CasioR Half-Damper Pedal for Casio PX110 PX310 Digital Pianos, also sold on Amazon.
The three pedal system for the electronic piano is FANTASTIC. Finally, it's just like playing a "real" acoustic piano, with the soft, medium and sustain pedals going just the way we are used to them. At last! I can stop grieving for my beautiful baby grand and play this wonderful lightweight portable Casio piano with all the pedals, just as they should be. I can't recommend this enough. Plus it strengthens the piano stand. It's just about perfect. I really couldn't ask for more. I keep my Mac laptop at the ready, recording straight into GarageBand. Yayy!!! After all these years, I can finally play anywhere, anytime. Thank you, Casio! Customer Rating: Summary: Privia px 310 Comment: This instrument is like a wood piano in its sound and its have a good hammer. However, the rhythms are very poor in the real sound and its do not has metronomo. Customer Rating: Summary: Great piano for the price Comment: I got this piano for my daughter to start lessons on. I have used it almost every day since Christmas. It has a piano style feel and great sound. Haven't used the computer options yet. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Value Comment: Having owned and played many different digital pianos over the years I can confidently say this is near the top in feel and sound for 88 key weighted action. Sure, you will get a lot more flexibility and function for 2 to 6 times the price but if you want something simple with good feel and basic sounds I doubt anything else comes close at this price. Customer Rating: Summary: Good features, but compare before buying. Comment: I'm still pretty much a beginner and haven't touched anything better than an upright accoustic so I won't claim any expertise in evaluating the quality of the samples, but it sounds good to me the way I use it with the line output run into a mixer and listening on headphones. If I didn't need the extra connectivity I probably would have gone for the 110. I compared it mainly to a Yamaha P70 at the same price and while the Yamaha may have had a higher quality feel, this board had better features, better connectivity and maybe even better sound. I'm sure the sound is a matter of preference and I was only able to compare them through the built-in boom box speakers, which are the weak point of most 'stage pianos'.
My one real complaint about the Privia's is the lack of a felted board for the keys to stop against when you release them. Most piano's have that and it's a quality touch. The lack of it means the keys tend to bounce and rattle when you release them. A few have developed some side to side motion at the bottom as well, so there is more key noise from this board than from most others. If you use headphones or are actually playing it on stage through a sound system you probably won't notice, but if you have a microphone over the keyboard and try to sing while playing quietly it might be an issue.
One other thing to be aware of is that while the specs indicate 32 note polyphony, it is actually only 16 for the stereo piano voices, such as grand piano. I don't have the enough skill for that to be a limiting factor yet.
