Casio Privia Piano Model PX-870

The Casio Privia model PX-870 is small and light, yet will fill a room with concert grand sound! It features Casio’s patented Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action which offers authentic grand piano feel in a piano that fits anywhere. The keyboard is not only touch sensitive, but you can set the level progressively lighter or heavier.

You get not only 88 keys, but also 3 pedals which offer true sustain, soft pedal and sostenuto. The sustain pedal supports half-pedal function for truly expressive playing. The keys have the feel of traditional ivory texture. There are also 19 different tones to choose from including 5 grand pianos, electric pianos, organs, strings, harpsichord vibraphone and bass. While some instruments offer more sounds, all the sounds on this Casio are first rate.

There are physical models that create the sound of the lid, the key release as well as hammer response. For example, you can hear the difference in sound of the lid open or closed. You can also layer 2 sounds such as piano with strings. You can also split the keyboard playing one sound on each side of the keyboard such as bass with your left hand while playing the piano part in your right hand. If you are sitting at the bench helping a student, you can also split the keyboard into 2 equal pianos playing the same notes – a great convenience so you don’t have to keep getting up and down from the bench to demonstrate playing!

You can have your piano play for you 60 included songs which you can play along if you wish. In Concert Play you can play along with an entire orchestra! This is a great way to learn how to play with other musicians in the comfort of your own home! You can also record yourself and save to a USB drive to share online. You can also connect to any computer or iPad to work with many popular music software programs.

The 40 watt, 4 speaker Sound Projection System creates a soundstage like an acoustic piano. It also sounds amazingly good at lower playback levels. All around, this piano offers amazing quality for an instrument in this price range. You can play almost anywhere and we include a free pair of headphones so you can also play anytime!
