A breathtaking stage piano with an impossibly low price that weighs only 23.6 pounds.

Casio Privia PX-3: Until now, if you wanted an awesome-sounding piano, that actually played like a piano, you had to haul around a 75-pound monster that cost almost two grand. No more! You can easily lift Casio s new PX-3 keyboard controller with one hand, pay for it with a weekend of gigging, and use its 250 high-end sounds on your next club date or scoring project.

You get dazzling vintage and cutting-edge EP s, authentic B-3 s with dial-in rotary effects and tons of MIDI control at a fraction of the cost and weight of any other stage piano.

Even though it s amazingly light and affordable, you don t have to compromise one note. The piano sound rivals keyboards costing (and weighing) three times as much. Casio s Ivory Touch, Tri-Sensor scaled hammer action actually recreates the nuances of playing a top-tier acoustic grand. This proprietary mechanism triggers four levels of stereo piano samples in Casio s award-winning Linear Morphing System. 128-note polyphony. Half-pedaling. Acoustic Resonance. And it s thrilling to play through tiny combo amps and stadium PA s.

But the piano is just the beginning: the PX-3 offers a full-complement of stage- and studio-ready sounds: Powerful brasses, winds, basses and synth leads with switch-on portamento, plus a composer s grab-bag of great-sounding, non-western instruments and percussion. Full editing. Sophisticated DSP.

And the MIDI control is all there as well: The PX-3 controls four internal and four external zones. So during the performance you can play up to four additional instruments or a digital workstation right from the keyboard via MIDI or USB. Plus, you can instantly edit every internal sound with a comprehensive menu of filters, envelopes and 64 insert effects like rotary speaker, auto-wah, phasers, choruses and overdrives.

There s so much more: SD card and USB storage. Internal velocity maps for instant touch control. Four bands of parametric EQ. But the bottom-line is this: 88-notes of scaled-hammer, real-life acoustic grand piano in a stunning, feather-light, impossibly priced keyboard.
