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.

"I looked everywhere for the best price on a guitar tuner I wanted. No matter where I looked, zZounds had the best price and the lowest shipping every time. On top of that, I received the tuner just 2 days later! There's no going back, I'm a zZounds addict. " - customer on August 20, 2010
Overall:
I live in an apartment in a part of a college town with actual citizens around, so I can't make a lot of noise. When I lived in the student parts of town, I always just found a piano in the want ads and got some guys to drag it into my house. It always seemed like a good strategy - until I finally ponied up the cash and got the Privia 110.
It is amazing. As far as touch, the difference between playing this and playing a real piano is basically negligible - in fact, I now often find family pianos to be slightly clunky or indelicate after playing the Privia - plus it sounds a heck of a lot better than the old jalopies I'm used to playing on.
Basically, having this in my apartment has multiplied my happiness by a number I can't measure. It's great. I can play any time day or night and it's like having a grand piano in the house that only I can hear. I love it, and I'd recommend it to anyone in a situation with limited space or soundproofing issues.

"Great for the road."
Overall:
This is a great piano for the money. It feels good and is responsive. I have this as a backup to my Alesis and Yamaha when I cant take those and dont need all of the extra sounds. It is lightweight, and like I say, the best deal for the money. Great for road work.
