Product Description
The award winning grand piano sound in Privia has been dramatically improved. The new PX-350 utilizes more than three times the memory of the previous generation for a more natural piano tone. In addition, Casio’s new proprietary sound source "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) provides unmatched realism and detail. This engine provides seamless dynamics for a remarkably expressive and powerful performance. For further realism a new Damper Resonance simulator provides the rich sound of the strings when the sustain pedal is used.The new PX-350 also features a new redesigned 88 note Tri-sensor scaled hammer action keyboard. This new action features new simulated Ebony and Ivory textured keys for a incredible feel and it’s three sensors capture the dynamics of a performance with unparalleled speed and accuracy. To further enhance the experience, the action and the sound engine take into consideration the speed at which different sized hammers move inside acoustic grand relative to velocity the keys are pressed, this timing nuance provides the ultimate key to sound experience.The PX-350 has a total of 250 instrument tones built-in. Strings, organs, electric pianos, brass, drums, bass and more and with the PX-350’s registration capability you can store your favorite splits and layers for live performance use. The PX-350 also has 180 drum patterns with full auto accompaniment and a 17 track recorder for composing your own songs. Ready for the stage or studio, the PX-350 has 1/4" audio outputs so you can easily connect the PX-350 to recording and sound reinforcement equipment. The optional CS-67 puts the PX-350 at the proper height but can easily be removed so you can take the 25 pound digital piano to the gig. The optional SP-33 pedal system provides the same 3 pedal functionality as a grand piano.

Great piano sound and feel and playability
By kramster
Love this Casio PX-350, I had the PX-330 and liked it but this is a nice jump up in piano sound and feel. I have a few Yamaha keyboards and still play my old GEM pRP7s (yes 2 as like them and their size is nice). This Casio is my second favorite piano sound after software based Pianoteq. Hard to stop playing this thing and will ,prolly gig with it through one or 2 Bose Compacts. Built in speakers are a nice step up from the 330 as well. Run this through some nice studio monitors with a sub or headphones and wow... just get one one!
The other sounds are pretty good but just the piano alone makes this worth it. Also the lil built in rhythm accompaniment is fun too.

By dsd
I purchased this from another online site for a little cheaper and also purchased the cabinet and 3 pedal system, and some very good quality Sony headphones (MDR7506) to pair with it per a suggestion from the person I bought the piano from. The internal speakers sound much better than I expected considering their wattage...I'm extremely happy with the purchase!
If you are used to playing traditional pianos, I suggest the cabinet with the 3 pedal system. The right pedal in the 3 pedal system from what I understand offers a gradient instead of just on or off per the pedal that comes with the unit. I bought this because I wanted a very good piano sound (which this definitely has) and a bunch of other tones that I could use should I decide to play around with them. I think this one has 250 different sounds. Thus far I haven't left the grand piano sound that it defaults to though...it truly does sound excellent.
The key action feels good if you're used to playing an upgright like I was.
If you want a cabinet but want to be able to remove the piano to gig on the weekends or whatever all you have to do is unplug the wire for the pedal assembly (just plugs into the bottom of the keyboard) and remove 4 wingnuts to remove the piano. There is also a stabilization bar that goes across the bottom that you may have to remove depending on your stand, but it's just 2 screws. So 1 screwdriver and 2 minutes and it's ready to go.
I had one item requiring support and Casio promptly was able to resolve my issue.
I think this is the best digital piano for the buck at the moment. It sounds great, feels great and has tons of features.

Let me start with a disclaimer; I am not a piano player and I you might even say musically challenged. I do consider myself a proficient shopper and after a couple days lurking in various piano forums, I felt like I had a good handle on the best value in my price range.
One of the most important points of all the advice I read was that personal preference for sound and feel should be the primary consideration. I didn't feel this was a significant issue for me because I am buying this piano for my 9 year old son who just began taking lessons. I plan to try and learn as well and hopefully my six year old will eventually take an interest. For now, we have not developed a favorite sound or feel, so I read many comments and those that struck a cord :) with me swayed my decision.
In the sub $1000 range, the Yamaha and Casio models seemed to each have an equal number of devoted fans. I suppose if you consider that the Casio Px 150 and 350 are new this fall, the fact that they have so many positive comments says something about Casio's new models. I also considered that Casio's technology was next generation. For some this means it is untried and too risky, for us early adopters, not so much. One review that I trusted basically summed it up that the Casio Px-350's sounds, features and quality was unmatched at this price level providing the best value for under a grand.
After setting it up and letting my son practice his lessons, we are both extremely satisfied. My son says that it plays just like the "real" piano at his teacher's studio, and while I can definitely tell the difference, it is certainly good enough for us right now. As for the sound, it sounds like a great piano, good quality and plenty loud out of the on-board speakers. My son loves experimenting with all the other sounds it makes which makes us happy that he is enjoying his first experience with making music.
The toughest decision for us was whether or not to spend a couple hundred dollars more on the 350. The ability to record on a USB thumb drive in wav format and the MIDI out for the possibility that my children will want to perform with it pushed me toward the more expensive model. I am sure we would have been just as happy now with the 150, I just didn't want to deal with trying to sell this one and upgrading in a couple years.
Good luck on your search, if you go with the Casio Px 150 or 350 you won't be disappointed, unless it is defective which appears to be the case with another reviewer.
