CasioPrivia PX-870 Digital Piano - Walnut Bundle with Furniture Bench, Headphones, Instructional Book, Online Lessons, Austin Bazaar Instructional DVD, and Polishing Cloth

Everyone needs to know that this seller will email you multiple times to make sure you are happy and know how to contact them!I had to have help assembling. It took two people about an hour. Keep in mind we are ages 75 and 65.It is a beautiful piano. I love it!At first not so much. The left hand bass keys sounded muffled/muddied. I am new to playing piano. I played piano accordion so my left hand is weaker. After playing around with various settings, I found that setting keyboard touch to light...level 1... problem was solved. It made it easier for my left hand to press down the keys. To my surprise it also changed the tone and gave me a nice clear note. The muffled/muddied sound was gone.I've only had this assembled for 4 days. It has so many settings and things to explore... amazing.Thank you Austin Bazaar!

I visited my family overseas and I found they had gotten a second hand acoustic upright piano. I enjoyed playing it so much since I missed my old keyboard back home.Taking into consideration that my keyboard was an old Yamaha psr e403 that I got when I was 10 (15 years ago) it was definitely time for an upgrade.I am an ocasional intermediate player so getting an acoustic piano that started at $5,000 was a no no. I decided to go with a digital piano, my budget was anything below $2,000.After almost a week of research and comparisons, I narrowed my search down to the Casio AP-470 and the Casio PX-870. The major difference between both of those was the wooden stand, the ap-470 had a “taller” section above the keys resembling a more upright piano look. And also that it had 2 grand piano tones instead of one.Everything else was virtually the same. From keys to speakers. For a price difference of $500, I decided to go with the PX-870.Shipping was quick. Box was heavy (including the bench).I am taking this to my home in other country, shipping it directly to my hometown or purchasing it there was much much more expensive than taking it back with me via oversized package on my airline.I decided to open it to check everything I ordered was there and that the piano actually worked, because once I am home I will not be able to send it back lol.Everything came as described, I decided to take the piano portion out without the stand and plug it into the power so I could play it and see how it felt and sounded.I must say the keys feel the same as the acoustic piano my family has. The weight and scale are fantastic. Sound is amazing and the wooden touch is impecable.This piano is worth all the money it costs. You’re getting, in my opinion, the best digital piano under $2,000.Tips for shipping it overseas with an airline:When taking this piano back home I decided to do it with my airline as extra baggage. The shipping costs you’ll pay will be: oversized fee and extra weight fee. Most airlines allow up to 70 pounds on extra baggage, after 70 you have to pay. Since I cannot make the box smaller I focused on the weight.What I did was to remove the extra box that comes with the piano in the furniture bench version. That box is almost 10 pounds.I left in the box only the piano, the pedal piece and the back covers. Anything else I fixed it in my regular baggage.I wrapped everything inside the box with bubble wrap and managed to make it weight 68 pounds.Make sure to put enough bubble wrap to avoid anything from breaking.If you have the extra +$200 to pay for overweight and the additional oversize, ship it as it is.I will be uploading some pictures once I assemble it at my home.

I love this Casio Piano. I bought one a little over a year ago and now I have bought a second one for a second home I have. With the weighted keys, it is just like playing a “real” piano and the sound quality will is excellent. Another nice thing is that I can turn down the volume or use headphones if I want to make sure not to disturb the neighbors in nearby apartments.

I got this piano as an upgrade from my previous "beginner" level digital piano as my skills improved and my desire for something with weighted keys increased. Say hello to the PX-870. This thing is wonderful for the price, as the key-action is great, the speakers are great, the audio samples are great, the controls are convenient and non-intusive, the thing looks great, even the music stand is solid!So, why rate this a four? Well, good luck assembling it. The 870 includes hard-to-find, poorly translated assembly instructions for the stand, hidden inside of one of two massive "road map" style quote-on-quote "quick start guides," on the fourth page! Also the included headphones broke immediately out of the box. But knowing it's a bundle deal meant mostly for the piano bench, I wasn't exactly expecting hi-fi, so you get what you get.Overall, I really am happy with the Px-870, and will enjoy using it for many years to come. Assembly was difficult but possible with two sets of hands, and I have other headphones.

I am not a pianist but did a lot of research, primarily in two areas, 1, key action and 2, sound synthesis, and in both areas PX-870 is leaps and bounds ahead of any other well known brand (ie. Yamaha, Roland and Kawai) for the price. I am not a good judge of key action but my son's piano teacher says that its darn close to a grand piano action and better than any under 5k uprights. As for sound, its brilliant. If one have the opportunity, listen to the built in midi samples. They sound rich, complex and real (as real as it gets with speakers instead of strings). Sympathetic string resonance, damper resonance, key action sounds and a 40W 4 speaker system. The only thing I could compare it to is CLP635. CLP636 looks like a proper musical instrument and PX-870 does not. Don't get me wrong, it looks stunning but no where close to how a Yamaha looks. Having said that I can as well save up the remaining $2.7K and pay to good tutor for my kid's education, which is what I need the piano for anyway. As a side effect there is no distracting screen, which gives the instrument a very neat appearance. I would have preferred no labels as well since you can do all the customization you need via the IOS or Android app, and there are a lot of features one can geek out with. Minor gripe, I would have loved if the piano could retain the settings and not reset every time it is turned on (or may be I have overlooked some setting to do so) because the built in Jazz piano sound is like an espresso shot, would love to have it as default. Finally Austin Bazaar was amazing and got my anxious kids super happy when they saw the box in under 2 days in front of the door.
