I’ve had this piano since I was 17 or 18 and I am 29 now. Still plays beautifully. It been through two states and countless moves. Love this piano!

[@dannyneumann4547]

I bought one a year ago on Craiglist used for like $300. I could theoretically upgrade now but it would mean paying thousands of dollars for a piano that's only 10% better.

[@musicman8938]

I have this piano and it's been 10 years already!

[@ulisescortaza3143]

Do you think the piano sounds are good? And can you use it as a midi controller?

[@musicman8938]

@@ulisescortaza3143 Yes I do think the piano sounds are good. I love it but I do want an upgrade.

[@Ephesians2.89]

i'm just about dying to get a piano and when my mom said i could get one this year i started crying lol. i can't really explain it but being able to play such amazing music is a dream. i just can't wait to get this :)

[@guyvh]

Just got this keyboard last Sunday. I loved the look when I saw it in the store and the feel was excellent too. The best value for money DP, hands down.

[@DanielMartinez-nw1pn]

Ive had the px310 for 18 years now. It's still in a good state

[@KelleyFamilyBR]

I have a friend who is an incredible pianist but he does not have money. His talent has been recognized by a local couple with lots of money. They offered to buy him any electronic piano he would like. He could have purchased something far more expensive but he got this Privea because he says it sounds great, it feels great, and it doesn't weigh much.

[@kjun13]

I bought one of these as I was just beginning to play piano for about $600 brand new. I got a foot pedal and mounted to the wall in my bedroom, I've always loved playing it. A year later I can play seven complex medleys, worth every single penny but I will be upgrading to a Kawai CN33 soon.

[@idleminds1]

nice one casio! im astonished how casio improved from their kiddie orriented keyboard to professional sounding keyboard!

[@danimoosakhan]

i love digital piano because it makes all kinds of sound .

[@emanuelsuperford]

I love the slick look of it.... and the sound of it.... I want one...

[@infiltrator7777]

I'm so happy with mine! Got the 130 a few days ago and can't wait to be able to play as well as this guy! Was gonna get the Korg 170 but this does so much more!

[@chengyanslc]

+1. I bought one 5 weeks ago and it is my all-time best buy..

[@torque302]

Key replacement on Casio Privia PX-555R accomplished. Difficult. If interested, suggested procedure: 1. Turn keyboard upside down, so that bottom faces up. Photo &/or diagram for memory reference. Photo sides and top if desired. 2. 7 rows of screw fasteners, about 50 screws in all. Note metal bar. 3. Sugg'n: label cups 1 - 7 each separate row. Place removed Phillips screws in cups. 4. Kbd chassis snaps apart slowly. Careful with electronics. 5. Keys carefully pry hinge fulcrum. Replace.

[@bentleyshoe]

I just got one and I woke up at 4:00 a.m. to play it because I was so excited.

[@igorok851]

Wonderful piano !!!

[@casiomusicgear]

@Virtuon777 No post-processing was done. Actually because our video camera only had inputs for the wireless mic I was using - we had to record the piano separately to a computer. A TC Electronic Konnekt 24D was used. Later we synced the audio that we recorded with the video.

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 And that was my point. In this video, the sound was not from the keyboard. It was CHANGED with an audio interface. What part of that didn't you understand?

[@iTsAznThunder]

Getting this Christmas as a present :] So excited. Great piano for the price.

[@BecomingSilhouettes]

I just got one, im not lying when i say its awesum, its better than most weighted key keyboards ive looked at, definately my fav ever :3

[@Darklocke1]

great video! I'm excited to get these piano at our store! Privia Piano's are my first choice for portable digital piano's! My casio rep told me last month that Sam Ash Music stores (mystore) will be receiving the px-130 end of august/beginning sept. :)

[@MaxMcNeal99]

He made it. Ive been telling him to put all of his songs (I believe about 40-50 total some are just updated songs) on Itunes so look out for that he might put them on. There is a Mike Martin on itunes already (guitar player) so..

[@parsifalrx]

bravo! i'm buying Casio PX-130. the price is perfect. i hope it's durable.

[@Mtnfew]

@ThisIsDream Yes, this is possible. I use this exact piano to do play and record midi music with Sony ACID music studio 8.

[@JaimeVives]

I bought a PX-330 and I'm really happy with it, good piano sound and touch. In my opinion better than YAMAHA Regards

[@DJNEMBRO]

hurray for Casio!!!!!!!!!!

[@IXIBankaiIXI]

@mxh91 Because if you look in the video, you see a cable coming from the left side of the PX-130. That is where the headphones jack is, so he probably connected an amp or some kind of speaker to it to make it louder. Also, he could have used a different program to record the sound so it isn't hindered by the recording of the video, and then sync'd the sound with the video so the sound quality remains. The amp is more likely though since you can see the cable haha.

[@JaimeVives]

I just bought a PRIVIA PX-330 really good. Regards fron Spain.

[@kurumi2402]

I HAVE ORDER THIS EL PIANO! AND I LOVE IT, I THINK ITS COMMING ON FRIDAY :D

[@ophereon]

@allieplaysmusic It is Chopin's "Etude op.10 no.5" or "Black Keys Etude" as it is sometimes known.

[@vito_keys]

This is the first Privia to actually have the good quality sound

[@pajon82]

I've just picked my px-130 up at the delivery company. Otherwise I would have to wait until monday to get it delivered. I'm right now at work, and the piano is in my car. At the moment, the hours feels like days. I wanna go home and play, now!!! =)

[@Sherpaful]

I love that riff thing he does at 2:52

[@DriftDeeper]

+Sherpaful me too what is it

[@Joe22c]

As a new grad student who is finally making a decent amount of money (not rich but enough for rent, food, recreation, etc.) via scholarships, TA'ing and being a research assistant, I am looking forward to buying a digital piano for my apartment. After watching this video, all I can think is: "I WANT IT - I WANT IT- I WANT IT!"

[@ThePianoguy89]

I have this keyboard and I love it! This is a great product!

[@casiomusicgear]

@AwesomeMan2696 You can connect a PX-130 to a sound system. It has an 1/8th inch stereo headphone jack like an iPod or MP3 player. The next model in the series, the PX-330 has 1/4" audio outputs which may be more convenient to connect to a sound system.

[@infiltrator7777]

It's just so cool. My friend and I just listened to song #49 my favorite and 01-23. So fun!

[@JapViking]

I would go with the 130 because it has a new and improved keyboard and grand piano sound. I believe the felt they put on the new models stop that clicking noise too? the 130 only has 16 tones and the 320 has like 200, but all those sounds arnt necessary to me. all i care about is a good feel and nice piano sound.

[@PSXfiles]

I'd like to know too. Sounds gorgeous with the strings.

[@casiomusicgear]

@ThisIsDream Yes, just plug it into your computer using USB, no drivers are needed. You'll need some type of MIDI recording software.

[@forteguy]

hey ,mike noticed your comment saying that the songs were improvised. the song at 1:00-1:12 is real if i'm not mistaken that is caude debussy's arebesque #1.

[@casiomusicgear]

@Virtuon777 No EQ or processing was used. You may want to try one of the other Touch Response Settings.

[@yopeople70]

I just got one from the guitar center. If you go on their web site, there is a cut-out and you can get it for $300

[@Rishro29]

Im getting one of these in about 2 weeks!

[@cameronmstahl]

@millyvlogs to transpose hold the function button press the last F on the left side to go down a half step and F# to go up hope it helps to fix the temperment issue pressing the second to last C and C# on the left side at the same time while holding the function buttion should help fix it.

[@joruPT]

Im thinking of buying this piano, but they only sell it with one pedal.. can you do the effect at 2:13 with only 1 pedal? Or you dont need any pedals to make that effect?

[@casiomusicgear]

@mxh91 It was recorded directly to a computer from the headphone out to a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D audio interface. No processing was done.

[@abustosp]

Wow... awesome instrument. Sounds Very good.

[@casiomusicgear]

@knausspiano I think you'll find the action of the Privia is superb, but don't take my word for it - try it for yourself.

[@boobsax]

btw I have the 320. I just read the Keyboard mag review on the 330. It sounds like it has some nice improvements , especially with navigation and touch.

[@KingOfShadows1500]

@mxh91 no!! but the keyboards are all the same, so what changes the sound is probably the interface!

[@LalCungbik]

❤ i love it

[@infiltrator7777]

I have one and I dream about it! I love it!

[@casiomusicgear]

@SilverAgNO3 That is an original piece of music by Mike Martin

[@Zepherus2]

@joruPT you can buy an optional 3 pedal system

[@bertersfd]

@crgbrtn4 yes it does, you can connect it to your pc, and record all you want to play around with in music editing software

[@kRiSiS112]

@mxh91 you're right, here. I bought the PX-130 based on this video and while I've been happy with it for its price, it doesn't sound as good as in this video. Still, for around 500 bucks, it's not a bad buy for someone who's starting to get serious about piano. (I started on a Casio LK-40 ^o^)

[@casiomusicgear]

@IXIBankaiIXI It was recorded directly to a computer from the headphone out to a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D audio interface. No processing was done.

[@novatocreek]

maybe he's using them to line out to the audio for this video....it doesn't sound like it's just miked off the room....sounds too clean. The PX330 has seperate line-outs but with the 130 you'd have to use the headphone jacks btw.

[@GassyCoke]

i'm also between those two!! i think i like a LITTLE more the Yamaha P-85, sounds more natural to me.

[@casiomusicgear]

@OrquestaSonDelPuerto - That is a part of a song I wrote (Mike Martin).

[@casiomusicgear]

@Hannibp Yes you can connect speakers to the headphone output.

[@casiomusicgear]

@mxh91 No processing was done. We used the headphone output of the PX-130 and recorded it to a computer using a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D audio interface. There is no fraud.

[@idleminds1]

@MrJackanthony i would recommend you getting a casio privia than yamaha or roland considering its price range. honestly i am a casio hater because they have this reputation of kiddie orriented keyboard but after watching this vid, i am really astonished how casio produced excellent piano sound. but of course i would still get a roland if budget is not a deal.

[@SilverSprings1997]

@lemonrind I couldn't stop laughing picturing the guy doing just that. I think they should release your version!

[@ringodingo6945]

geez mike you look so young

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 So you say the audio interface is what changing the quality and sound of the keyboard and that it's not the natural sound itself? And you are telling me it's not false?

[@simon12332]

@Zormo777 Its useful because then the two people can play in the same octaves.

[@boobsax]

Hi Mike I have another Question. Is there a list somewhere of the factory registration banks? Like; Bank 3 #1 Wam Pop with sax sound.

[@dayglo98]

@electrodude9 the sound is amplified since you can see the microphone plugs being hooked to whatever..But I did try one at BestBuy today and it sounded really great by itself

[@KingOfShadows1500]

@mxh91 why? you can use either a microphone or a USB/XLR/MIDI/line out-line in cable to record a keyboard and i don't see anything wrong with the 1st option! either way, i don't know what that guy in the video used and i have no idea what mxh91 used, but it's obviously not the same thing! otherwise, it would sound the same! so the dude does not really have a reason for thinking this ad is tricked, since it worked for so many other people! the one he bought is probably defective or something.....

[@fafan111]

For all the people asking: All the songs are improv created for this demo!

[@pickzkickz]

@bbadmike Thanks, I hope can stick with it and learn to play, unlike in high school when I goofed around! lol

[@casiomusicgear]

@Warhiji The PX-130 has major improvements in the piano action, piano sound, speaker system and more over the PX-130.

[@merrygeanslee]

i want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KingOfShadows1500]

@mxh91 audio interfaces can change the quality a little bit but not that much!

[@FreedomChannelBA]

Your dad seems like a cool dude!

[@soilsminor4715]

does this have 1/4" line out. or only headphone outputs like many other Casios?

[@polaris911]

i want one sooo bad!

[@casiomusicgear]

Thanks everyone for the comments. Regarding the names of songs that I played - those were all things that were improvised on the spot for the purpose of the video.

[@JayrezalJorgy]

@TheCreativEnt theres a youtube show that shows a guy putting random objects such as iPhone, marbles, Bic lighters, glowstick and more into a blender.. and blends it.

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 He uses an audio interface to achieve the clear sound. Why did you even say microphone in your first post?

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 You are changing the subject. I never said anything about auto-tuning anything. So now you want to talk about reverb? Casio PX-130 has 4 built-in reverbs. Using an external hardware to manipulate the digital piano's true sound/effect is still considered changing the overall quality of the piano sound itself. What more do you want to argue about? You have change nothing by replying back.

[@razrv3lc]

I love mine!

[@KingOfShadows1500]

@mxh91 plus, you can always try it in the store and return it back in the next 30 days if you're not satisfied!! so I don't thing lying is a good trick in business!

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 You said it yourself buddy. I'll quote. "will sound different! it's not the keyboard itself!" Are you saying that the sound is not the native sound?

[@cinem8ic]

The 130 is SO much better than the 110. I have the 130 at home and the 110 in the studio and the 110 keys are louder and have a much sloppier feel to them. I am only missing a dedicated transpose button (you can transpose up/down via key command), but then again...maybe I should just learn to play.

[@stephanebenfeito1420]

Are you conncted to external speakers or is the sound from the piano ?

[@mxh91]

@casiokeyboards What software did you use to record the audio of PX-130?

[@authmaax]

amazing

[@allieplaysmusic]

What's the background song at 3:35??? My former teacher played this once at a recital and I would love to remember what it is.

[@MrKatolz]

bought mine 3 days ago, should receives it next week =D

[@casiomusicgear]

@m04gigdeadmoroz You would have to recording the audio output to a device such as your computer to get an MP3.

[@casiomusicgear]

@fafan111 - Correct, They're all songs of mine (Mike Martin).

[@user-dv8us8re4c]

Does someone know if you can remove the piano from the frame So that you can put the piano on a X form piano stand?

[@b0unce805]

Yes you can

[@bobcatt2294]

Unfortunately, the PX 130 series has noticeable key-down and key release noise where as the PX770 does not. The question is, can you retrofit the keybed with softer materials to help damper the noise?

[@pickzkickz]

Just got back from my local Best Buy with the bundle...$499!!!! Man, I have to wait till Christmas to open it though!! lol

[@BrandonProductions1]

Why don't they put one of these piano voices in their new workstations?

[@goczangabor24]

this might be a stupid question... but does this include speakers or you have connect it to an amp and to speakers?

[@guitarraveboy]

Well this time let's hope they fixed the noisy keys issue most Privia owners are plagued by, They lost tons of customers to Roland and Yamaha because they failed to address this design flaw.

[@mxh91]

@KingOfShadows1500 The fact that you said it will sound different and that it's not from the keyboard itself makes the sound artificial. What are you trying to prove there?
