Versatile enough for home, church, school or on stage.

Realism, Expression and Dynamics
The grand piano sounds in the PX-130 delivers an unprecedented level of realism and expression. Four dynamic layers of stereo piano samples are integrated with Casio's proprietary Linear Morphing System, resulting in a grand piano sound with seamless transitions and a superior dynamic range. For added realism, the PX-130 simulates the sound of the open strings when the dampers are raised by the pedal using Acoustic Resonance DSP. The PX-130 also has 128-note polyphony, enough horsepower for the most demanding musical passages and the ability to layer sounds and use the damper pedal without worry of dropped notes. The result is a grand piano experience that is unmatched at any price.

Expressive Touch
The Privia PX-130 features a new Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard. Casio's superior engineering has resulted in an authentic piano touch that captures every detail and nuance of your performance. This scaled hammer action provides the weight, feel and resistance without sacrificing the portability of the instrument.

Education Features
In addition to the superior keyboard action and piano sound, the PX-130 is the perfect instrument for music education. Featuring Casio's Duet mode, the keyboard can be split into two equal ranges, allowing student and teacher to play at the keyboard simultaneously. The PX-130's built-in 2 track recorder and metronome allows you to practice any tempo and later listen back to what you just played. The recording features can also be used to capture moments of creativity and remember song ideas. The optional SP-32 pedal board simulates an acoustic grand piano by providing all three pedals - soft, sostenuto and damper.

Connect and Create
It's easy to connect the PX-130 to your computer with its built in USB MIDI interface. The PX-130's 88-note weighted scaled hammer action keyboard makes it an ideal controller keyboard for using with music software applications. The USB connection also allows you to move songs to and from the computer into PX-130's flash ROM, allowing to you save songs you've created.

Versatility, Portability and Design
Whether you're at home, church, school or on stage, the PX-130 was designed to tackle it all, making it a valuable investment. With its light weight, you can easily take the PX-130 from home, to the classroom or even to the gig and back with no worries. It connects easily to your computer via USB, and its Duet mode is perfect for student and teacher practice. The technology in the Casio PX-130 allows you to do it all.

Plenty of Variety
Choose from 16 built in tones, and combine if desired--layered or split. Further define your sounds with four digital reverbs, four choruses, along with a brilliance and acoustic resonance setting.

Two Headphone Connections
The PX-130 features two headphone connections, ideal for the duet function.

Powerful Speaker System
The PX-130 features built-in speakers, with 2 x 8 Watts of output power, to fill a room with sound.

Accessorize
With the optional SP-32 three-pedal unit, add damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals to the PX-130.

Optional Custom Wood Stand
The CS-67 custom wood stand is available for adding a bit of elegance and holding your PX-130 at ideal level.

Review & Description

This dynamic new line of 44-key Baby Grand and Upright Pianos, launched to coincide with Schoenhut's 135th anniversary, features True Piano Sound ... without the use of electronics. The mid-sized piano is less intimidating for small children who want to learn to play the piano. This line is not intended to replace Schoenhut's vintage models that feature chime-like tones, such as those originally developed by Albert Schoenhut in 1872. Rather, the introduction is in response to requests from customers for a "new" sound. Piano teachers comment again and again on the importance of a child being able to reach the pedals. A perfect size for children, especially age five and up. Available in black, white or red. NOTE:---Air Express Shipping is NOT available Read more

Review & Description

This soft, fabric-covered keyboard is alive with color, lights, sounds, and friendly animal faces. Its three settings allow newborns, infants, and toddlers to enjoy this magical, musical toy as they develop strength and dexterity. Use the easy-attach straps to mount the Kick and Play Piano to your infant's crib. The soft piano keys respond to your baby's natural kicking motion or light touch with dancing star-shaped lights and a medley of 10 different songs. The soothing sounds of familiar tunes make it a perfect bedtime companion, too. Automatic shut-off ensures long battery life and a peaceful rest after play. As your baby grows, adjust the piano to the second setting for animal sounds, drumbeats, and musical verses. Or, set it on the floor and switch to the third setting so your child can play it like a real piano with musical chords. The colorful fabric cover slips off easily and is machine washable (music to parents' ears). Requires three AA batteries, not included. --Melissa Wilson Read more

Review & Description

Concert Grand Piano - Mahogany, by Schoenhut

31x28x8
Inspired by the beauty of a full-size concert grand, Schoenhut Piano Company offers this exquisite miniature replica. Complete with opening top to release the lovely chime-like tones, this smaller version is designed for a child with serious musical aspirations.

Each piano in the series is custom built from solid maple and half inch multi-ply birch, stained in mahogany or painted in your choice of white or black, with the interior hand finished to match the selected exterior. The hinge is designed to raise and lower gradually, so as not to slam down on little fingers.

Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart will also work on adult keyboards, since keys on Schoenhut toy pianos are of corresponding width. This teaches children proper 'finger stretch' from the very beginning. The accompanying Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes. This Learning System has been specially designed to build a child's confidence and develop basic playing skills.

Chromatically tuned, the sound is produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods (versus the conventional taut wires used in full-sized models).

Materials: Maple, Birch and Hardboard
Age range: Three and up
Dimensions: 21.5 in. H x 24 in. W x 27 in. D
Bench: 9.25 in. H x 14 in. W x 6 in. D
