I know of several VERY good piano players MORE than happy to gig with a Privia. 'They' don't care it has Casio on the front

It's a great sounding, inexpensive and lightweight stage piano.
Remember, once upon a time, having Yamaha on the front logo of your arranger meant it was a cheap and nasty POS... Now, it's cool

They didn't change the logo, and people started buying them. Know why? Because they started to be really good...

That's all it takes.
