Summary: Privia px 310
Comment: This instrument is like a wood piano in its sound and its have a good hammer. However, the rhythms are very poor in the real sound and its do not has metronomo.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great piano for the price
Comment: I got this piano for my daughter to start lessons on. I have used it almost every day since Christmas. It has a piano style feel and great sound. Haven't used the computer options yet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Value
Comment: Having owned and played many different digital pianos over the years I can confidently say this is near the top in feel and sound for 88 key weighted action. Sure, you will get a lot more flexibility and function for 2 to 6 times the price but if you want something simple with good feel and basic sounds I doubt anything else comes close at this price.

Summary: Good features, but compare before buying.
Comment: I'm still pretty much a beginner and haven't touched anything better than an upright accoustic so I won't claim any expertise in evaluating the quality of the samples, but it sounds good to me the way I use it with the line output run into a mixer and listening on headphones. If I didn't need the extra connectivity I probably would have gone for the 110. I compared it mainly to a Yamaha P70 at the same price and while the Yamaha may have had a higher quality feel, this board had better features, better connectivity and maybe even better sound. I'm sure the sound is a matter of preference and I was only able to compare them through the built-in boom box speakers, which are the weak point of most 'stage pianos'.
My one real complaint about the Privia's is the lack of a felted board for the keys to stop against when you release them. Most piano's have that and it's a quality touch. The lack of it means the keys tend to bounce and rattle when you release them. A few have developed some side to side motion at the bottom as well, so there is more key noise from this board than from most others. If you use headphones or are actually playing it on stage through a sound system you probably won't notice, but if you have a microphone over the keyboard and try to sing while playing quietly it might be an issue.
One other thing to be aware of is that while the specs indicate 32 note polyphony, it is actually only 16 for the stereo piano voices, such as grand piano. I don't have the enough skill for that to be a limiting factor yet.

Summary: Excellent weighted keys, very poor interface, appears overpriced in hindsight
Comment: I'm an amateur musician, and I play mostly for enjoyment and occasionally with a band (once or twice a year). I purchased this keyboard mainly for its weighted keys and low price. The keys are a joy to use, and the weighting feels like the real thing. The keyboard comes with a large set of capabilities (for a list see the keyboard description) which is quite useful, and has MIDI in, out, and thru ports for you to export the music for later processing.
However, there are some serious shortcomings to this keyboard. The built-in speakers are very low quality... you will definitely want either an expensive set of headphones or an external speaker. The only screen on this keyboard is a three-digit number display, which is woefully inadequate for a keyboard of this quality... the keyboard has over two hundred voices, various DSP choices, and many more options which should require an entire screen to display. As it is, you control the various settings by holding down a "function" button and pressing the appropriate key ON THE KEYBOARD. Since there are very few labels, this requires memorization, which is completely absurd for an $800 keyboard.
All in all, unless you have the money to burn or can get this keyboard for a serious discount, I would not recommend this product.

The Privia is the revolutionary digital piano that makes it possible for just about anyone toexperience the joys of playing the piano. Stylish, compact, and priced for affordability, the Privia provides authentic piano sound and feel in your room or just about anywhere else. The PX-310 also includes a Bass Reflex System which will allow you to reproduce low frequency sounds as well as a dedicated tweeter to produce the diverse range of added tones and accompaniments. Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard for authentic grand piano feel Lower notes play relatively heavier than higher notes, just like the keys on a grand piano. Selectable touch sensitivity even lets you configure the keyboard for a light touch that makes it possible for your fingers to really fly when they need to. Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI Sound Source A Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI sound source includes separate waveforms for strong key pressure, medium key pressure and light key pressure, which accentuates the differences between the sounds produced by each. Multiple stereo-samples are also taken of tones produced by an acoustic grand, from the low range to the high range. Notes remain natural sounding and realistic from the moment a key is pressed until the note decays, providing you with sound quality that is virtually identical to that of an acoustic grand piano. 32-note polyphony helps to ensure you never lose notes due to damper pedal operation. High-quality, versatile tone, with laye...
