I was at Sam Ash looking at pianos last week. I ended up playing the Yamaha and the.......Casio Privia PX860.

They're both great pianos, but the Yamaha is HEAVY and more COSTLY. It also has a very sweet, mellow sound that I'm wondering if you'd get tired of it fast.

The Casio on the other hand won in all areas hands down. I'm also a professional pianist. It was a dream to play. Every generation of Casio pianos is noticeably better the the one before it.

And get this. The sound was strong, powerful. I looked down to see what they were playing it through and there was nothing there on the floor. I was playing with the internal speakers on. Well, you could hear that piano out in the parking lot.

I'm not saying it's the best piano on the market, but, for the money, it's a winner in my book.

I'm glad this MZ-X got posted here. I'm so impressed with the 860 that I might just wait to hear it before I purchase anything.
