Demo of Casio PX-130 - Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Just listen. http://www.pianoworks.com/manufacturer/Casio.asp There's some pedal noise in the recording because there is plastic wrapped around the nickel pedals, so I'll probably redo this at some point. The Casio PX-130 sounds and feels really good. With even better speakers, you could really rock & roll on this digital piano.

Hello, m a semi-professional pianist and i will be appearing for classical grade 6-8 exams. Since I'm low on budget i searched for a hammer action digital piano and close in on the P95 and PX-130.... What do you think I should buy?? I may need to use it for performances also... Since I already have a Korg M50 and also carry my MAC Laptop with LOGIC PRO installed in it, m not at all worried about the sound quality as I will use the MIDI to play the sounds from my Korg M50. now tell me what to do.

@dododeltaRgw7 Both are good and we sell both models. The PX-130 feels a little heavier than the P95 which I prefer. Just as many people prefer the P95 when side by side. However, I could also tell you that the PX-135 has been released in Japan and is probably due out here early next year. Keep in mind that the PX-130 has USB, but no MIDI plugs and the P95 has MIDI, but no USB if that is a factor for you.

P95 or PX130?

[PianoWorksAtlanta]

@Fallschirmjaeger963 The PX-130 has better specs in almost every area than the P95. Both have a good piano sound, similar action (I think the PX-130 is slightly firmer). I'd pick the PX-130 unless you really preferred the sound of the P95. Good luck in your search!

All i need to know is can the px-130 be played through an external amp? or hooked up to a church's sound system?

[PianoWorksAtlanta]

@ipodlover15 You can plug into an external amp through the headphone jacks. It does not have dedicated audio in/out though. For that, you would need the PX-330 or the PX-3. We regularly plug a PX-130 into a keyboard amp with excellent results.

I tried out the P85 and the PX130, and I must say that the PX130 is made better. Sound quality is about the same. I have my own jazz trio, and the PX130 really gets the job done.

@pinafranchino Tone & touch between the 2 models are definitely left to preference, however the PX-130 is certainly comparable there. In terms of features, the PX-130 is ahead with better polyphony (128 vs 64), USB connectivity (vs just MIDI), 16 tones vs just 10. Also, the Casio comes with pedal and it is usually sold separately on the Yamaha, making the real price difference even greater! I'm also pretty sure the Casio PX-130 weighs less than the Yamaha P-95 making it more portable, too.

what are the 16 tones?



[dododeltaRgw7]

@PianoWorksAtlanta Thanx a lot... I wud then prefer the P95 cause I need the MIDI... for sequencer controlling, I already have a KORG M50 which is gr8 instrument for both professionals and semiprofessionals like me...

@mdinka The primary acoustic piano samples are the same in all Privia models. Other models will have additional piano & other tones not available in the PX-130. The SQ (sound quality?) is dependent on the speaker or headphone quality. An investment in high-quality headphones will get you the most out our the PX-130.
