88 Weighted and graded keys
Gives the feel of an acoustic piano

AIF Sound Source
The tri-element AIF sound source embodies the very best of Casio waveform technology to take digital piano sound quality as close to that of an acoustic concert grand piano as possible. High-precision stereo sampling of a grand piano combines with a special filter for sounds that reverberate with amazing reality

128 Note Polyphony
The Privia PX-320 is capable of producing up to 128 note simultaneously allowing notes to reverberate naturally without being cut off during high-speed passages and intensive damper pedal operations.

Two Piano Setting Keys
Piano sound tailored to your own taste: The piano setting key switches to grand piano sound at the touch of a button. Two settings are available: "classic" for a soft, discreet sound and "modern" with a more lighter, brighter character.

1/4 in. Stereo LINE IN / OUT
The Stereo LINE IN / OUT (L/mono, R) of your digital piano provides a connection for full sound experiences. e.g. to your PA-system or studio equipment.

High-quality DSP Effects
The PX320 digitally reproduces the high-quality sound of a top concert grand piano complete with first-class reverb effects. The simulation of the resonating strings that is provided by the "Acoustic Resonance" effect rounds the sound experience off perfectly.

Panel-Lock
With the Panel-Lock function, the control panel is protected from unintentional moves while playing and to protect settings.

Powerful Speaker System
The powerful 2-way system with four speakers and 2 x 8 watts of output power ensures a targeted sound delivery.

3 Pedals
With the optional SP30, the PX320 has up to three pedals with half-damper effect. This "half-damper" effect simulates a "half-pedaled" damper pedal.

Two headphone connections are available zZounds is an authorized dealer of Casio products.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "BEST BANG-FOR-YOUR-BUCK digital piano in its price range...you won't believe it actually came from a Casio product."

Sound: There are 2 "main" grand piano patches in the PX-320: The "MODERN GRAND PIANO" (which has a slightly brighter sound, "non-muddy" full bass sound on the lower register and "sparkly" sound on the higher registers) and a "CLASSIC GRAND PIANO" (which has a softer, more gentle and tempered sound but still has a rich, deep bass sound on lower registers and "delicate" sound on the higher registers). Personally, I use the MODERN GRAND PIANO patch for pop, dance and rock music during gigs since it has more "kick" into it. The CLASSIC GRAND patch I use for playing classical music when I'm at home and for certain ballads/love songs that our band may play during gigs that don't require a powerful or bright sound but a "mellow"/"soft" one. You can fully appreciate the excellent decay and resonance of each note played when using headphones or when connected to loud speakers. There are many other variation piano sounds in the PX-320 (some located in the Various Tone section and some in the GM section). To mention a few, it has L.A. piano, Mellow piano) There are decent EP sounds (60's EP, Dyno-EP and 2 others I can't recall at the moment) and some decent, if not good, useable organ patches as well. The brass ensemble patches are fine (the saxophone patch could use more samples and improvement but they can still be fairly useable on certain songs). Feature: The most useful feature in the Privia PX-320 is the registration memory. Given only a simple 3-digit LCD display, patch numbers for individual tones may be difficult to memorize. However, with the registration memory, you can store any favorite instrument tone (layered, or non-layered) as well as many other keyboard settings (keyboard split-point, brightness settings for the piano, reverb/chorus effects, rhythm accompaniment style, tempo settings etc.) The next useful feature is the LINE-OUT ports (L & R) which is handy for connecting the PX-320 to loudspeakers (e.g. PA system, monitor speakers, keyboard amps, or even a simple Stereo Hi-Fi Component system with AUX-IN). This is important for gig musicians who regularly hook up their gears to loudspeakers during performances. Another useful feature is the 2-track recorder feature which is good for recording music ideas/arrangements or simple keyboard/piano performances when you feel like recording on-the-spot MINUS the need for the PC and recording softwares. And I certainly appreciate the 16-channel multitimbral General MIDI compatibility of the PX-320. Sending and receiving MIDI is I wish the PX-320 had a pitch-bend wheel (useful for guitar patches). A larger LCD display (colored or monochrome) would be very much appreciated although during live stage performances or gigs in clubs where lights in the stage are "dim", the red 3-digit LCD display is more than sufficient to be seen by the keyboardist clearly...based on my experience. I wish there was a brass slide patch, however, which is often used by real brass players to add "style" to their playing. But the lack of brass slide is only a minor matter, as you could always have this by connecting the PX-320 to a good sound module and/or VSTi-equipped laptop which you can easily bring along with you during gigs. I also wish the PX-320 had a "bass guitar slide" patch that can be handy when making home recordings, arrangements or even during live performances (on a keyboard-split mode) when you lack a bass guitarist who can do those "slides" and add flavor to the song your playing/arranging. Ease of Use: The interface is simple. There are several dedicated function buttons and instrument tone buttons on the control panel. To access other tones (there are 202 built-in instrument tones), you need to press the "Various Tones/GM tones" button while pressing the "YES/NO" button to scroll up or down the instrument patch list. This may be a bit disconcerting at first, since you see only the instrument number and not the instrument name (you may have to memorize the patch number of your favorite instrument tones). Changing/shifting from one instrument tone to the another is handled EASILY with the use of the registration memory. Recalling your favorite instrument patches also is made easy using the registration memory features (there are 96 registration memory banks which you could use to store various keyboard settings I've mentioned above/earlier. Quality: I've only had the PX-320 for 4 months but I've been using it in gigs with my band 3 days after it arrived (I still had to familiarize myself with features and function buttons prior to using it in gigs for a "trouble-free" use during live performance of course)... It has been reliable and rock-steady so far. and I haven't experienced any problem with it yet. It seemed to be holding out quite well so far considering I've been moving it around and using it in gigs. The keybed seem to be handling several hours of practice everyday...so far no problems in this regard. I've probably be extra careful when carrying it around so as to avoid bumping the side panels of the PX-320 since these are made of plastic and can be dented or broken if hit hard on corners or walls. Value: It's worth the $700-$800 price its currently being sold at in different stores (depending on whether it is packaged with/without C65 wooden stand and pedals). This is simply one of the best digital pianos with good "price-to-features" ratio. Manufacturer Support: I've e-mailed Casio customer support when I was inquiring about the PX-320 twice and response came in within 24 hours from the time I sent the e-mails. I've e-mailed them again recently giving them some "feedback" on how they could improve the functionality of their digital pianos and they have been more than receptive and even encouraged me to send them suggestions as to features or how they could improve their products in the future. Response came in within 24 hours again. (In that e-mail, I also gave a negative feedback of Casio's older PX-575R/PX-410R digital piano which lacked good polyphony and dedicated LINE-OUT ports which didn't make it "gig-friendly" or multi-track instrument-friendly. THANKFULLY, the PX-320 has 128-note polyphony and dedicated LINE-OUT ports!) I'm yet to experience problem with the PX-320, and so I couldn't fully assess their after-sales customer support...for this, I'm holding out on giving them a perfect score. The Wow Factor: The PX-320 is not bulky...which is actually good for gig-musicians having to carry it out on gigs. The external design is rather "minimalistic" and simple. The 3-digit LCD display may be disconcerting for others...but when I'm carrying it around, at least, I wouldn't have to worry about bumping and breaking a larger, touch-screen LCD displays that more expensive digital pianos have. Overall: I'd probably supplement it with a good sound module to add better strings, some brass instruments (particularly saxophone patches)

Style of Music: Pop and fusions (pop-rock, pop-jazz), contemporary jazz, rock, some alternative music selections that make use of keyboard sound

Sound: Much, much, much better than you can imagine. I remember the sounds of casio keyboards of 90´s, yack!! Like a toy!. But, NOW, Totally different, at least in this Digital Piano. Besides, it is very nice, useful and impressive the rest of sounds on board. Feature: For me, the most important Feature is.... THE TOUCH!!!. I have played many digital and acoustic Pianos like Yamaha, Korg, Kurzweil(this last brand, I think is the best emulator of an acoustic touch. Well, this casio is the same touch for the half of price!!). ONE NOTE: REMEMBER THAT THE TOUCH IS VERY SUBJETIVE FEATURE. IF YOU ARE HABITED TO HARD OR HEAVY TOUCH, THIS IS IT. Besides, the polyphony is 128!!, What more can you request?!!!. The other brands (even the biggers) gives you 32 or 64. Only in the top models(plus $1000) you can expect 128. If you are a guy who play a lot in Gigs or who play in your studio, it is EXCELLENT in every situation. Because moreover you have many sounds on board that they sound AMAZING!! Ease of Use: Without difficulty. Quality: Like I told you above, I can imagine how is that Casio has evolved!! Value: Well, this is the part where CASIO wins (for a lot) at the rest of brands (I only talk about on DIGITAL PIANOS). Manufacturer Support: I didn´t need them. The Wow Factor: The only thing that I would wish in this keyboard is "the pitch bending" and "the modulation wheel". Overall: Well, in Summary: you have an amazing touch, excellent piano sound, many useful inputs and outputs, 90% of rest of sounds are very good and a very good price whereas ZZounds keep the price of $599.

Style of Music: Classical, Jazz, LatinJazz, and more Latin styles
