about digital piano Privia
on: January 15, 2009, 12:48:05 AM
 I really want to buy a Casio Privia and the Px 320 is the my choice.
 Everything was all right until i see this video on youtube :

I still hear a lot of people saying that privia´s pianos are awesome, but i´m scared about this keys noise. If someone have a experience about this please share with me.
thank you!

Looks as if they've got that horribly wrong. Clearly the keys are too massive and the damping of their return is wrong. I'd avoid that like the plague.

I have an even cheaper and outdated casio and the key return and response is not as bad as that one. The noice from  the keys is there but I wouldnt know what the key noice from a acoustic would be without sound.....

From any piano in good condition the key noise is very little. But after all half the point of a keyboard is that you can play it without making noise, so it's considerably more important than with a real piano that mechanical noise is minimised.

dear seijurouhiko:
well, i did play in some privia keyboards and didn't like any of them. imho, there is no possible comparison between that and a yamaha, or a roland, or a korg.
of course, many people have privia and are happy with that... 8)

Key noise is marginal in comparison though. Not likely a neighbour would complain about someone slamming a keyboard if it´s muted.

Hi,
I have this piano at home and I don't have a problem with this "noise". Yes you can hear it but if you have headphones or if you have it loud you won't even notice this noise. I like it and it's not so expensive, I can at least practise more. Maybe Yamaha is better but there are more types of this digital piano  - I have PX - 100 version, "the worst one" and Iam satisfied.
