## Casio Privia PX S1000 Digital Piano The Casio Privia px S1000 digital piano is a revolutionary instrument that sets new standards for grand piano sound and feel in an incredibly compact package. Already renowned for their authentic sound, Casio's latest model takes it to the next level with its impossibly small footprint. Measuring 43 percent smaller than previous generation Privia instruments, the PX S1000 is literally half the size of other digital pianos on the market, making it a game-changer for musicians who demand portability without sacrificing sound quality. This remarkable instrument boasts a beautiful unibody case with a glossy top panel that evokes a traditional grand piano, but in a footprint barely larger than the keys themselves. Today we're taking a closer look at the Casio Privia PX S1000 on its own merit, without any optional matching accessories. There's also an available three-pedal unit that gives you all three pedals found on a grand piano in a portable format with rubber feet that stick to any surface - hardwood, carpet, or otherwise. A carrying bag is available to hold both the piano and the optional three-pedal unit, making it easy to take your music on the go. ## Interface of PX S1000 When you glance at the top panel, all you see is a power button and a volume knob. But when you turn it on, the rest of the controls reveal themselves, giving you access to every function of the PX S1000 through touch-sensitive controls. When you're done using it, simply power off and they fade to black, leaving a smooth clean top panel. ## Keys and Keybed The superior touch of the PX S1000 is thanks to its fully weighted 88-key grand piano hammer action keyboard. Casio's proprietary key scaling system recreates the weighting and other characteristics of each of the 88 keys individually. The key surfaces are textured with simulated ebony and ivory finishes, so you can play confidently and comfortably in any climate. ## Sound The PX S1000 has a world-class stunning stereo grand piano sound that rivals the real thing. This grand piano sound boasts sympathetic string resonance, damper resonance - you can even hear the damper rising off the strings when you press the damper pedal. You can adjust all these settings using the top panel controls. ## Chordana App Your favorite device - Android, iPhone, iPod, or whatever you have - can be used with the free Chordana play for piano app to adjust everything that's in the PX S1000 digital piano. What is string resonance? It's a little example of sympathetic string resonance that exposes the complex harmonic relationships between vibrating strings. I'm going to hold down a C major chord, but not play it hard enough to hear it, then I'm going to play a C an octave below. You can still hear that chord ringing! Now I'm going to hold that same chord again and play a note that's not as closely harmonically related - we don't hear the chord; we only hear it when we play a note with a distinct harmonic relationship to the ones that are held. ## Features and Modes You can layer sounds together very easily. You can also split the keyboard so you have bass in the lower octaves and other sounds up top. The PX S1000 is perfect for any level of musician - from a student to a professional. There's some built-in tools that will help you get the most out of your practice, such as a metronome and a built-in two-track recorder. So you can record left-hand parts and then right-hand parts or record to different instruments and play them back. In addition, when you download the free Chordana play for piano app, there's plenty of lesson content built-in that'll help improve your playing skills. Piano teachers will really appreciate duet mode - it splits the keyboard into two equal pitch ranges so I have two middle C's. ## Speakers The PX S1000 has a beautiful powerful stereo speaker system with ports on the front that you can barely see, leaving a nice clean look and very nicely designed grille on the back for the larger speakers. It sounds perfect up against a wall on a desk on a table on a stand wherever you put the Casio Privia PX S1000 - it's gonna sound great! For quiet practice, there are two headphone jacks right on the front panel so you can take lessons quietly or practice quietly by yourself. The PX S1000 also features Bluetooth audio, so you can connect your favorite device to its beautiful speaker system.
