Casio Privia PX-330 Digital Piano Review – Good for stage performing and Midi use?

by JazB
(Brussels, Belgium)

Hi,

I wanted your views on the Casio Privia PX-330?

I am looking for a digital piano that will be good for stage performance as well as has got midi capability so that I can trigger synth sounds through it.

Another reason I am looking for an 88 key piano is so that I can use it for solo performance as well.

How would the other boarders here rate the px330 in terms of its sound quality, portability, and reliability?

Are there other alternatives that I could look at?
An 88-key midi controller with hammer action would also be acceptable to me, though I haven’t seen any...Is there a good product here?

Eager to hear your valuable comments/recommendations that would suit me. I would go ahead with the Casio Privia PX 330 if nothing else comes up my way.

Thanks
- JazB

Casio Privia px330 digital piano review
by: Harry

I agree that the Casio PX-330 digital piano is good, but then only for the given price. It could be better but then it would cost more.

I also have a Yamaha Baby Grand piano, but then the Casio keys do not compare with it. IMHO, the Casio keys feel harder to press and do not have the dynamic range of the real pianos.

On the positive side, the Casio px330 feels much better compared to the boards in this price range and has good volume/pressure sensitivity.

Other features are similar to what you find in most DPs. Overall, the Casio px330 digital piano is an economical and quality substitute for an acoustic piano.

If you are looking for a basic version of this keyboard instrument (budget constraint), without the additional patches, but with similar construction and piano sounds, then you may consider the Casio Privia PX-130 as well.

Casio Privia PX-330 is a Better Choice
by: Music Maker

I would say that the Casio privia PX-330 is one of the better digital pianos in it's price range. You won?t get all these features in any other brand for this price.

Besides, the alternatives mentioned before (except the Yamaha ypg) do not have accompaniments, if that is of any concern to you.

Casio Privia PX-330 Alternatives for Stage performance and Midi use
by: Anonymous

Yamaha P95, Korg SP250, and Yamaha YPG 635 are good alternatives to the Casio privia px-330.

Have you explored them?

If triggering synth sounds is your main criteria, you could even do that using a lower privia model like the PX-130.

But if you want more of synth sounds and other controller type features, are you sure you want a digital piano and not a synthesizer or a workstation?
