Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
Sounds as good as a piano and one can play it softly if others are doing other things in the house. Can compose when others are sleeping. Infinite capabilities when used with Logic Pro. Keys feel like a real piano and always in tune. Mozart would be proud.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
I use this 25 pound piano to play out on at Jazz sessions and solo gigs. I find the touch of the keys responsive and as real to the acoustic piano as the sounds it recreates. I have trouble seeing the writting on the control pannel casio should make a set of over lays to rectify this over sight.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
I'm a professional musician looking for a better than decent digital piano. This was a steal for the price. Incredible how many bells and whistle come on this keyboard. Highly recommend this model.
One suggestion: I should have ordered the stand with it. I had a casio double braced stand but it does not go low enough with a regular stool. I tried another stand but it was as little wobbly. Finally, I bit the bullet and bought the recommended Casio stand (with legs). It's the way to go if you are looking for something for home/ studio use.

Purchased this for 589. I prefer the sound of this to Yamaha. The weighted keys feel right. I am enjoying the record function. I like the honkytonk piano setting.

This is a great practice, learning and composing keyboard. Lightweight and compact, easy to program and with decent weighted keys. the internal speakers are good and loud. The pedal included is not great, but ok for damping. get a proper pedal for the sustain input though.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
So far I've got great things to say about this piano. The key feel is great, the sound is really nice, and all the extra sounds are an added benefit (although, I'm not likely to use most of them). It was a great value, arrived on time, and is nice and compact as I'm a city apartment-dweller. Only downside I've found so far is that it takes a little time to boot up. Not too long - maybe 15 seconds, but I'm admittedly of the impatient, digital-age, now generation.

The quality of this keyboard is amazing. There are many functions that allow the user to be versatile. Compare other keyboards and you will see that this keyboard is well worth more than what you pay. The price is even more stunning. B&H had the best price [...]. I am completely satisfied with my order.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
This is my second Privia. I bought my first one when they first came out. My, what a difference a few years make. This one (PX-330) is much improved over the earlier model. It is nearly as good as my Roland FP5 at almost half the weight and cost. Needless to say, my Roland stays home. The Privia does the gigs.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
This digital piano sounds great and the weighted keys feel excellent; it is a noticeable improvement over previous PX-320. Built-in speakers are useful and adequately loud. Sounds excellent through the headphones. Has seperate 1/4 inch stereo jacks for outboard keyboard amp. as well as 2 headphone jacks. If you don't need the MIDI features and only need the piano, consider PX-130 for lot less money. I compared KORG SP-250, Yamaha P-85, M Audio Pro Keys 88 before buying Casio. They are all good keyboards and worthy of consideration. My preferences were:
Sound -
1) Casio
2) M Audio
3) Yamaha
4) Korg
Key feel -
1) Casio
2) Yamaha
3) Korg / M Audio tie.

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
Sounds great with either headphones or hooked up to a keyboard amp. Built-in speakers are only moderately loud but it is useful and will do in a pinch if you don't want to lug around a seperate keyboard amp/speaker. Like other Casio stuff, it has lots of features, some very useful, some not so. If you mostly want piano features, consider PX-130 for less money but personally, I paid extra for PX-330 because of other features. PX-330 is a noticeable improvement over previous PX-320; I really like the weighted hammer action keys. I also looked at Yamaha P-85, Korg SP-250; M Audio Pro keys 88. all are good keyboards at a great price. You really can't go wrong with any one of them. My preferences were: Sound >>
1)Casio PX-330
2)M-Audio Pro Keys 88
3)Yamaha P-85

Comments about Casio Privia PX-330 88-Key Digital Piano:
I have a Kawai grand but I cannot be pounding the keys at all hours when the rest of the family is asleep. I bought this so I can play and practice with headphones without awaking others. I love this piano; plays great and sounds simply terrific; it is a noticeable improvement over PX-320, the previous model. Scaled hammer action keys with Tri-Sensor touch gives it a realistic piano feel and 128 note polyphony allows for more natural reverb sound. As with all Casio instruments, it has a ton of other fun features, some very useful, some not so. It also has a built-in speakers, not very powerful but versatile and good enough if you are just practicing; there are 1/4" stereo jacks for hooking it up to a keyboard amp. for more serious application. It is relatively light compared to more expensive models from Korg, Kurzweil, and Roland, but it is well-built and a lot cheaper. In my opinion, the sound quality holds up well against more expensive competition, but probably won't hold up for traveling gigs - you'll need to pony up for more heavy duty pro model. Only thing that needs improvement is the length of reverb when sustain pedal is pressed. I also loked at Yamaha P85, CP-33, Korg SP-250,Kurzweil SP2x, M-Audio Pro Keys88, but for my needs, PX-330 had the best combination of sound and piano key feel for the money. You really can't go wrong with any of the models mentioned above - all good stuff. People put down Casio unfairly because they are not a dedicated musical instrument manufacturer but their products serve the intended market very well and their products hold up well in general. My son is eyeing this unit to take with him as he will be attending collge next year. I told him to start saving his pennies.
