Casio Pianos - How Does it Compare with the Big Piano Brands?

Casio Pianos are changing the rules of the game with perfect blend of quality and affordability. The competition better watch out!


Casio Pianos, Casio Digital Piano


Known primarily for its music keyboard, Casio has introduced some great digital pianos over the last few years that have made people sit up and take notice.

Though they carry a wide range of models, beginners who are keen to learn to play the piano but do not want to spend a lot, will find some of the Casio piano models simply irresistible.

In the sub $1500 category at least, Casio is doing to the digital piano segment what Samsung has done to the Television market.

You ignore them at your own peril!

Do not be tempted to pass on the Casio digital pianos, just because you have some impression about the Casio brand of keyboard instruments.



Casio Pianos – Popular Series

PX series: Privia Digital Pianos
Portable stage pianos from Casio! The Privia digital pianos look great and their sound quality is much superior.

Casio WK 76 Key Piano Keyboards
Have been playing the keyboards all this while? Looking for good keyboard with 76 synth action keys? If yes, then have a look at the WK series keyboards.

Not exactly a piano, but the WK series music keyboards have fairly advanced features and 76 keys that gives you the flexibility to play piano pieces as well.


Does Everybody Like It?

If you are a parent looking for a piano for your child, or if you are an adult beginner, or if you have played keyboards before and looking to supplement it with a good piano, then you will definitely like what is being offered here.

Bear in mind that almost all the Casio pianos fall in the sub $1500 category, so it may not feel and look as sophisticated as some of the more expensive offerings from Roland, Yamaha or Kawai.

More than the sound, it will be things like the key touch and pedals, that some of the more accomplished players may still not be totally convinced with.

But even if you are a connoisseur and try out some of the top Casio piano models, I am sure you will appreciate what is offered, especially when you look at the price tag.

Most of them do end up buying the Casio Privia piano, in addition to their primary piano at home, so that they can use it while on the go.


Conclusion

Casio pianos - Privia and the Celviano, have their own distinctive sound and have improved a lot in the sound and overall design department. The sound samples used in a Casio piano is far superior and the high quality built-in speakers and amplifiers further add to the quality of the sound produced by these pianos.

These pianos have a far improved keyboard touch & feel, and the top ones have graded hammer action keyboards. Here the keys are heavier on the left side and gets gradually lighter as you move to the higher registers. This is how the keys on an acoustic grand piano feel.

A Casio piano can be a perfect piano for a beginner who wants to learn to play the piano but does not want to spend a lot. Even experienced piano players can consider owning one of the top models, or buy one as an additional piano-keyboard. Casio Pianos cost comparatively cheaper without compromising on the looks, sound and the keyboards touch.
