Casio PX-S3100 BK Privia

The Casio PX-S3100 BK Privia features a full 88 keys with graded hammer action, closely resembling the keyboard of a grand piano: The fine-grained surface of the keys helps a pianist keep everything under control, even when their fingers aren't perfectly dry. Sound-wise, the Privia has a truly gigantic range of tones - 700, to be precise - including authentic-sounding grands, organs, harpsichords, and strings, as well as wind and percussion instruments. The 310 presets include settings for colouration, rhythm, and chord progressions, and they can all be loaded at the touch of a button. The memory banks also provide space for 96 custom presets, with split and layer functions available to distribute these sounds across the keyboard for uniquely expressive performances. This wealth of sound can be refined using 14 different reverb and 12 chorus algorithms. Meanwhile, the internal MIDI recorder can be used to capture up to five songs, each composed of up to three tracks.

The Japanese company Casio was founded in 1946 and initially became famous for its electronic calculators and wristwatches. The company released its first electronic musical instrument back in 1980, since which several decades of experience have poured into the production of keyboards, synthesizers, and digital pianos, including classics such as the CZ synth series and the digital pianos of the Celviano and Privia series. Casio's core corporate philosophy is to contribute to society through its creative products.
