The newly developed Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard makes the slim 232-mm depth possible and also makes possible playing a great sounding keyboard in any size space. AiR Sound Source design reproduces the individual response characteristics of each of the 88 keys as well as the natural tone of a grand piano with string and damper resonance. Adding to the elegant look is a control panel with illuminated touch sensor controls that disappear from view when powered off. (I saw this working and it does look very cool!)

The PX-S1000/S3000 models also offer Bluetooth® audio playback for playing along with your favorite songs streamed from your phone, computer or tablet. The PX-S1000 includes 18 Tones with 192 notes of polyphony and layer/split/duet functionality. The PX-S3000 has 700 Tones plus 200 accompaniment rhythms, derived from Casio's acclaimed CT-X series instruments.

Both models feature recording capabilities, optional battery power (for playing outside etc.), integration with the Chordana Play Piano app, and a music rest designed to hold iOS/Android devices. There are two headphone jacks for silent playing, along with 1/4-inch L/R outputs that connect to any amplifier, mixer or PA system.

As a perfect easy-to-play and beautiful instrument that'll fit anywhere in your home or apartment, the Casio Privia PX-S1000 and PX-S3000 offer an easy way to have great sound at an affordable price.

The PX-S1000 sells $899.99MSRP and the PX-S3000 sells for $1,199.99MSRP.
