The Casio PX-130 Privia digital piano was designed to do one thing: recreate the full, sophisticated sound of a grand piano in a lightweight digital package. With 88 full-sized and weighted keys, the Casio PX-130 offers a natural, responsive feel that classical pianists will love. If your priority is a fantastic grand piano sound for a competitive price, you've found your next instrument. And with the built-in metronome, plus the ability to record your performances for review, this is the perfect digital piano for students of all levels.
Grand Piano Sounds in Under 25 Pounds
To reproduce a grand piano in a portable package, Casio's proprietary Linear Morphing System combines four dynamic levels of stereo samples, resulting in the PX-130's realistic, expressive piano sounds. Plug in an optional piano-style sustain pedal, and Casio's Acoustic Resonance DSP system simulates the sound of open strings when the dampers are raised, adding another layer of realism. While some digital pianos have a damper function that merely mutes the notes, the Casio PX-130 Privia mimics what happens in a real piano: a shift in the a resonant characteristics of the modeled acoustic chamber. It's a subtle effect, yet it contributes tremendously to the organic sound of the PX-130 -- making it more satisfying to play, and listen to, than other digital pianos.
Casio's lavish grand piano sound, plus 15 more tones, are reproduced in full, detailed fidelity thanks to the PX-130's built-in twin 8-watt speakers. When you sit at the keyboard, you'll hear high notes from the right of center and bass notes from the left, just as you would on an acoustic piano.
Realistic Tri-Sensor Hammer-Action Keyboard
For authentic performances, the way an instrument feels is every bit as important as how it sounds. The PX-130 Privia digital piano features a full 88 keys' worth of Casio's new Tri-Sensor scaled hammer-action keyboard. A piano's mechanics consist of a complex system of levers, joints, hammers, and strings, and the Casio PX-130 Privia digital piano's keys recreate an acoustic piano's organic playing resistance for a satisfying feel. "Scaled" means that this resistance gets subtly heavier as you move towards the bass end of the keyboard -- just like on a real piano, where hammers hitting heavier-gauge strings result in heavier-feeling keys.
128-Note Polyphony: Hear Every Note
Polyphony determines how many notes your digital instrument can produce at one time. When you play a digital piano with limited polyphonic ability, you'll see why high polyphony matters: play more notes than the keyboard's processors can handle, and some notes will be cut off or not sound at all. To avoid this problem, the Casio PX-130 Privia digital piano is capable of 128-note polyphony. In other words, the Casio PX-130 Privia can produce more notes than there are keys on its keyboard, so inadvertently cut-off and muted sounds will never be a problem, even when playing along with yourself on the on-board sequencer. A real acoustic piano doesn't have polyphonic limitations, and for all practical intents and purposes, neither does the Casio PX-130 Privia digital piano.
The Privia Digital Piano as a Learning Tool
The PX-130 sports a few nifty features that make it an excellent instrument for instruction. In particular, the "Duet Mode" is an invaluable tool for students and teachers. By splitting the keyboard down the middle into two parallel halves, the Casio PX-130 allows two people to play on opposite sides of the piano in the same note-range. It's like having two pianos right next to each other! No duet partner? There's an on-board two-track sequencer, so you can record and play along with yourself. Transpose the keyboard an octave up or down for even more flexibility.
No student should be without a metronome, and the Casio PX-130 PX-130 digital piano has one on board. You can dial in the tempo of any piece of music you want to play, and solidify your sense of time as you practice. Don't just practice playing in time - 20 different rhythm patterns let you practice playing with "feel." Learn to play along with the built-in library of 50 classical and popular songs, or when the lesson is over, just kick back and enjoy some classy background music.
Optional CS-67 Stand: Support and Good Looks
For the complete Privia package, add the handsome CS-67 stand, made especially for the Casio PX-130. Not only does it look good in any setting, but the CS-67 is a far more stable stand than any X-style stand you'd get from a third-party manufacturer.
With all these advanced features, it's easy to see how the Casio PX-130 Privia digital piano would appeal to private instructors, piano students, home musicians or anyone else who loves the sound of the grand piano but doesn't have the spare concert hall to in which to store it.

The PX-130's built in 2 track recorder and metronome allows you to practice any tempo and later listen back to what you just played. The recording features can also be used to capture moments of creativity and remember song ideas. The optional SP32 pedal board simulates an acoustic grand piano by providing all three pedals - soft, sostenuto and damper.

About the CS67 Stand and Optional SP32 Pedalboard
Keyboardists know that one of the keys to quality practice and playing is comfort. Designed to fit both the PX-130 and PX330 keyboards, Casio's CS67 keyboard stand is just the tool to get your keyboard to the right height for playing. Don't just use any old desk or surface, the dark wood grain of the CS67 is a perfect compliment to the look of these keyboards. Novice players will have an easier time learning their scales and modes when your keyboard is set to an effective playing height.
The Casio SP-32 pedalboard adds those extra piano dynamics you want for your Privia Digital Piano. The 3 three pedal system adds an extended damper function in that it simulates a pedal that has been pressed down half way.
