General
The Casio Privia PX-760BN is a good-looking brown digital piano that convinces both in sound and in feel. It’s always surprising how much quality and how many features Casio manages to pack into one instrument, which is relatively budget-friendly to boot. The PX-760BN's Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II consists of 88 comfortable ebony and ivory-like keys with a grand piano-style hammer response, and its Acoustic and intelligent Resonator (AiR) sound generator produces realistic piano tones. That's not all, however. This Casio features a number of interesting digital extras, such as Concert Play, which allows you to play ten piano pieces from sheet music with full orchestral backing. The piano comes with a stand, three pedals and a sheet music stand.
PX-760BN: more than just a piano
Casio knows like no other that variety is the spice of life, and has equipped the PX-760 with a number of instrument sounds to choose from. Besides several grand pianos, you can opt for various pianos, electric pianos, organs and strings. It's even possible to apply some reverb or chorus for extra flavour. Would you like to record and play back your own performance? The PX-760BN is fitted with a built-in recorder that lets you do so. Connect this Privia model to your computer by means of a USB cable, and you're able to store note information using MIDI software of your choosing. Once you're done playing, slide the digital piano's retractable lid over the keyboard to keeps it safe from dust and moisture.
Sound and playing experience
To precisely register the force of your key strokes, the PX-760BN is equipped with a tri-sensor mechanism. Quick repeats are accurately reproduced, and this Casio is even capable of simulating the tiny differences in timing that occur due to different playing styles and keys. The lower keys feel much heavier than the higher ones, just like those of a real grand piano. To make the sound really authentic, factors like attack, sustain and decay have been taken into account, and you can clearly hear the difference in timbre between softly played passages and more vehement parts. Damper Resonance, finally, convincingly mimics the rich resonance you hear when you press down a sustain pedal.
