The Privia is the revolutionary digital piano that makes it possible
for just about anyone to experience 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 new PX-110 also incorporates a Bass Reflex System that
improves low frequency sounds.
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 layer and split.
In addition to grand piano tones, the Privia also includes strings,
pipe organ, and other tones. A Layer feature allows simultaneous play
of two tones, and a Split feature lets you split the keyboard between
two different tones.

Customer Reviews
Solid performance at a great value for a former piano player
As a kid I learned how to play on a real piano for 8 years. I
bought this keyboard three months ago wanting to play more and have
been very satisfied so far.
Pros:
1. The tri-element ZPI casio menions makes the keys pressure
sensitive so that when you play softly or loud it will sound that way.
2. Metronome comes in handy
3. Easy-to-use record button lets you playback what you just played during practice
4. Comes with a practice pianobook with 59 pieces including 3-4 of
the more popular Chopin, Schubert, Schumannn, Bach, Mozart, Debussy,
Beethoven pieces and some lighter ones like The Entertainer.
5. Overall great sound for this price range
Cons:
1. Having previously played mostly on a grand piano, the keys here
don't feel completely weighted, but it isn't difficult to adjust.
2. 10 tones (2 grand pianos, 2 electric pianos, 1 harpsichord, 1
vibraphone, 1 pipe organ, 1 percussion organ, 1 strings/violin, 1
acoustic bass) may be limited amount for some
Amazing Instrument
Casio has redeemed itself from the "lightup" keyboards that are
honestly nothing more than toys. Fearing the quality of this instrument
would be similar to their other models, I spent a lot of time
considering Yamaha's selection at music stores. While the sound was
great, the keys on many of their models within a price range of $600
weren't weighted and just didn't feel like an actual grand piano. Then
I came upon the Casio Privia PX-110. The keys were weighted properly
according to each register and the sound was simply amazing. I managed
to purchase this for approx. $400.00 online and have been using it for
well over a year now. The instrument is portable and offers a great
value and experience for pianists of all levels. While the 32 note
polyphony does have its limitations (i.e. laying your forearms across
the keys will result in only a few scattered notes) I highly doubt I
will need anything higher with music of traditional genres; since it
can keep up with prokofiev and rachmaninoff, I doubt there will be much
of a problem. The upgraded version of the PX-110 has very few
differences. One other key feature is the headphone outlet. For those
in cramped quarters, or the pianist who wishes to practice late in the
night without disturbing others, this feature is excellent; alongside
the recording option which allows you to playback your performances.
From my recollection, there were only a few more instrument sounds
available. Since most people shopping for an instrument like this want
a professional quality digital piano, I don't think the lack of a banjo
sound will affect the purchase decion. In essence, this instrument is
exactly what I was looking for. Something that's portable, sounds
great, touch sensitive, and capable of demanding pieces in the
classical repertoire. I highly recommend this digital piano.
Word to the wise, it is possible to damage the instrument
(obviously any instrument). I accidentally dropped the piano a while
back and almost the entire keyboard register was unhinged from the
hammers. The good thing about this instrument is that you can take it
apart and fix any mechanical problem quite easily. Granted, if issues
arise with regards to electronics, you might have some problems. Like
any musical instrument, the highest care should be taken with it at all
times. I hope to find a case for it soon if one exists.
Beautiful Instrument
I am a novice with pianos. The piano was bought for my son to
learn. His instructor was insistent on him having a real piano to learn
on. So we were looking for an economical alternative. The digital piano
was the perfect fit. The piano is light and it sounds really great. For
the price it cannot be beat. I would recommend it to anyone looking for
a piano but cannot afford an acoustic one. The key action is very
realistic. My son really enjoys playing on a real piano. A keyboard
just does not compare. The quality of construction is great. We ended
up having to get the custom stand for it. A regular generic stand just
would not work.
