Casio PX-800

The Casio PX-800 is a digital piano featuring 88 weighted hammer-action keys, 128-note polyphony, 162 built-in tones, and real-time recording, and a song library with 60 built-in songs and space for 10 user songs.

Designed for elegance, the PX-800 comes with a custom wood stand and damper/soft sostenuto pedals that almost make the entire unit look like a real piano. The keys are touch-sensitive, though some say they’re a bit heavy. But signature is the 128-note polyphone, which allows stereo sampled piano voices to sound realistic. The two-way, 40w speaker system helps too, though there are stereo line inputs for connecting to a PA system. However, the light plastic bar that supports the food pedal is flimsy. Plus the key covers are not made out of quality wood, which takes away from the unit’s elegance.
