Comments about Casio Privia PX-3 88-Key Digital Stage Piano:
I took the PX 3 to a gig. I bought a Gator gig bag for it (considerably better than Casio's own gig bag.) I put it in the back of my pickup truck and drove for 50 miles. When I arrived for the gig, the entire lower octave and about 5 more keys had all somehow collapsed. I was very disappointed and had to revert to my old board. As for the action, very nice, when it's not broken. As for the sound. The piano sounds almost like an old video game in the midrange. I've heard better. I really wanted to write a good review, but so far, I'm just disappointed. In the meantime, Casio is looking for a repair person for my keyboard who doesn't live 2 hours away. I hope they get back to me before the day is out. YRMV.
