Product Description

The PX-800, releasing in March, is another brand new addition to the Privia line. The PX-800 is equipped with the new revolutionary tri-element AIF sound source (Acoustic and Intelligent Filtering system). Its 128-note polyphony allows notes to reverberate naturally without being cut off during high-speed passages, affording a more natural sound. The PX-800 carries a large 40 watt (20w per side) sound system to effectively recreate the sound of a Grand Piano. A custom wood stand and 3-pedal unit is included, giving the PX-800 a unique European design and elegant appearance.

J. Douglas Said: Sounds great. Looks nice. Son loves it. ( Nov. 10th 2009 )
This is all that we hoped. The sound quality and the look and feel are excellent. A few days ago I saw a Yamaha in a similar setup (case design was similar to the PX-800) for 499 but when looking closer at the display I could see that it was not near the quality of this Casio. The keys on that Yamaha seemed like a much lower priced keyboard. This Casio, on the other hand, has keys that feel very much like a traditional piano. No regrets about paying almost double for this unit compared to the Yamaha at the club store - I would do it again.
Eric Yu Said: PX800, a really good one! ( Oct. 3rd 2009 )
Bought this piano for about 3 months as a second piano for my son to practice. My son has been using Yamaha U1 for many years. This PX800 produces great sound like a real piano. When my son playing piano in the living room, we can't tell which piano he's playing, the real one, or the digital one? In fact, my boy likes to play PX800 a lot more, as the digital piano can produce many other interesting and beautiful sounds beside piano tune, it makes piano practice more fun.
M. Pagels Said: Casio PX800 ( Sep. 24th 2009 )
Received the PX800 a couple of days ago. The packaging was pretty battered and basically fell apart on its own, the piano parts were fine though. Contrary to other reviewers I did have some troubel putting it together. I am usuallt pretty handy with tools and don't have problems setting up Ikea furniture but somehow it took me ages to install the pedal bar - the screws for the corner protectors were rather fiddely. Up front I would like to state that this digital piano is good for the price I paid and the purpose it is for (not professional, just for fun). However, I don't like the keys. The plastic just doesn't feel right and is sticky. Also the weighted hammer action is not as dynamic as I expected. When you decrease the volume a bit you hear the keys clatter quite a lot which is very irritating. Also the sustain padel squeaks and as it is all plastic (give me a break) I don't know if I can use a drop of oil. We have a rather soft carpet in the room where the PX800 stands and it is really unstable - I will have to buy something to put under it. Again: for the price this digital piano is good and it should not be compared to an upright or even a grand. Given the same amount of money I would buy it again (but to be honest - next time I will just spend more...).
Barry Said: Exactly what I had hoped for! ( Aug. 21st 2009 )
Not a lot to add to what has already been said about this fine product, but I did want the chance to add to the numerous 5-star ratings it has already received. I am not a concert pianist and am certainly not qualified to say whether this instrument is good enough to be used in performance. However, I am a vocalist and have played my share of acoustic pianos over the years, and this is exactly what I was hoping it would be. To my semi-trained hears and hands, it sounds and feels just like a real piano. In fact, it actually sounds much better than many of the (admittedly poorly maintained) acoustic pianos I have played over the years. In addition to the piano-like feel and sound mentioned above, some other nice things include: * The instrument is quite sturdy despite having a relatively small footprint. It really looks and feels like a quality piece of furniture. Yes, the crossbar holding the pedals is a little flimsy, but since the pedals rest on the ground this is not at all noticeable once the unit is assembled. * The other keyboard tones sound just as nice as the main grand piano sound. I especially like the harpsichord and pipe organ, since it allows me to play different styles of music. A Bach prelude and fugue just sounds better on a harpsichord. * I love being able to record and play back the music I play, especially since I can play another part while listening to the playback. * The prerecorded songs are all uniformly excellent, and I like the fact that (a) the sheet music for all songs is included and (b) you can play along while listening. Overall, I am looking forward to years of enjoyment from this piano, and I'm hoping my young son will be able to use it for piano lessons when he is older.
RF Said: Pleasantly surprised ( Aug. 10th 2009 )
We purchased the PX-800 a few weeks ago and we are very happy with our decision. Out of the box, everything was as expected and the assembly was not too bad. The sound on this piano is very good. There are better sounding digital pianos, but for the money it really must be heard. The feel of the keys is slighty heavy but realistic compared to an acoustic piano. The features on this piano are all well thought out and easy to use - the manual is quite straight forward. The built in metronome, 2-track recording and multiple sounds in particular are nice features. It does all sorts of interfacing with a computer (SD card, USB) but we haven't explored this yet. The appearance was surprising good. During assembly we couldn't get over the quality and sturdiness of most components. The sliding keyboard cover feels a little flimsy so some care is likely wise. Very Happy!
