Casio is well known for producing some amazing portable and furniture cabinet digital pianos for many decades which are called the Privia and Celviano series of digital pianos.
They include the Casio has been giving people in the music community a “big bang for the buck” when it comes to lots of high quality features in a digital piano at a low price as compared to their competition. I have played all of their pianos from the last many years and they always impress me with how good they are for such a low price. Casio is certainly not the only good digital piano company out there but they do a great job at being innovative with their digital pianos just like they are with all the other products they make.
In this review I will be primarily focusing on the Casio furniture cabinet models but will also briefly discuss the portable models.

Casio GP-510 Grand Hybrid digital piano – REVIEW
$7499 store price
The Casio GP-510 Grand Hybrid digital piano in polished ebony cabinet finish replaces the previous GP-500 and there have been a few notable improvements to to the new model including a better internal speaker system, an upgraded piano sound chip, upgraded dynamic tonal and volume response, and improved sustain and decay time.
The other features of this new model stay the same as in the older model which include the 256 note polyphony chip, 35 instrument sound library, ability to split & layer sounds, MIDI and wav file recording and playback, and a variety of other functions and features. The “star of this show” however is the wood key action movement. Casio teamed up with the famous Bechstein grand piano company in Germany which has been producing high end concert grand pianos for centuries and the Bechstein company designed and implemented this special wood grand piano type key action in the GP-510.
The key action also is connected to unique proprietary resin hammers that physically move up and down like real grand piano hammers to give counter-balance to the keys. There are no strings in this piano so the hammers do not actually touch or hit anything…but they do move and give the key action a more realistic “feel.” A lot of advanced pianists have commented on how much they like this key action since it was also in the former GP-500 and many people have played and own that model.
So Casio used that same key action in this newer GP-510 but improved the “piano sound” portion substantially of this model as I mentioned earlier. It is also important to note that the GP-510 is not available in any other finish or color other than polished ebony, but it does look very elegant in that shiny black finish. We believe this GP-510 can definitely go up against the higher priced Yamaha, Kawai, and Roland home digital pianos in the same price range.
This model is fairly new so should be out in its current form through at least 2022 and probably well beyond. If you want more info on this model then let us know and we can direct you to a more detailed review that we have.
Casio GP-310 Grand Hybrid digital piano – REVIEW
$4999 store price
The newer GP-310 Grand Hybrid digital piano in matte black or matte white finish replaces the prior GP-300. This model also has the same upgrades as the GP-510 does with better sound and more dynamic tonal range than the previous model and noticeably better pedaling sustain response, etc.
The differences between the GP-310 and the GP-510 is the piano sound on the GP-310 is not quite as realistic as the GP-510 because the GP-510 has more organic content in the sound chip, the GP-310 does not have any scene (registration) memories, there are a few other features lacking on the GP-310 that are on the GP-510, and the GP-310 cabinet is not available in a polished ebony finish.
With other brands of digital pianos they do offer a polished ebony cabinet version for all almost all their models which typically is about $600 to $800 more so we would have liked to see that option with the newer GP-310. However you’ll need to spend a lot more money on the GP-510 to get that upgraded finish. This model is fairly new so should be out in it’s current form through 2022 and well beyond.
We feel this piano with its grand hybrid all wood key action with 16″ extra long white wooden keys and moving hammers along with black all wooden keys is especially competitive with the $4000 to $5000 models from Yamaha, Kawai, and Roland and in a few ways this Casio model offers even more piano playing authenticity for the money. If you want more info on these new GP models then please let us know and we can help you and also direct you to an even more detailed review of them that we have done on our other site.

Casio PX-870 digital piano – REVIEW
$1199 internet discount price | available in matte black, walnut brown, matte white – Now discontinued
The PX-870 is part of the “Privia” series of Casio digital pianos and is currently the top model in that lineup. The PX-870 digital piano is very compact in terms of its size with a depth of only 12″ out from the wall so it’s designed to fit into some smaller, tighter spaces and it only weighs about 75 lbs so its lightweight as well.
The stereo piano sound it produces for its smaller size and lower price range is really very impressive coming in with 40 watts of total power going through 4 speakers along with a piano top speaker projection ports. Compare that with most other top digital pianos in this price range that have just 12 watts to 16 watts of power going through 2 speakers and having no sound projection ports and its easy to see why Casio comes way out on top in terms of a bigger, fuller piano sound for the under $1200 price range.
The PX-870 also has things that few, if any other digital pianos in this price range have which include a 256-note polyphony power stereo piano sound chip, 19 higher quality instrument sounds, a 2-track MIDI recorder, a 1-track audio wav file recorder with USB flashdrive storage and playback, sound layer/mix and split capabilities, and “concert play” with live audio recordings of symphony concert orchestras that you can play along with and also control that orchestra tempo and muting parts.
The upgraded key action in this model has a realistic “feel” to the key action that we have not experienced on other digital pianos in this price range and it provides a very fast moving, smooth key movement that isn’t too light or springy and also not too heavy and fatiguing. In other words, the key action, the dynamic piano tonal range, and pedaling are all impressive for a model in this price range and the piano looks good to with a 3/4 length privacy panel in back of the piano, a sliding key cover, and easy to access control panel.
Beyond all that, the PX-870 can be controlled by the proprietary app that Casio has designed for iOS and Android tablets called “Casio Music Space” so that you can access all the piano functions and features from your color touch screen on your tablet or mobile phone. The app even has some interactive musical games and sheet music to make using and playing the PX-870 even more enjoyable than it already is.
For the $1199 price we think this furniture cabinet piano finishes in 1st place among the competition in terms of offering the “biggest bang for the buck” with regard to a satisfying piano playing experience in this price range. Although the PX-870 has been out for awhile it is still very popular and will likely be out for the rest of 2024 and likely into 2025. Want to know even more details about the PX-870, then please ask us.
Casio Portable Digital Pianos
Casio PX-S7000 Digital Piano
Casio has a new portable line of digital pianos called the PX-S series. The PX-S models start with the PX-S1100 at $699 internet price followed by the very popular PX-S3100 at $999, PX-S5000 at $1099, PX-S6000 at $1999, and finally the top PX-S7000 portable model at $2999 price also with a limited edition retro mustard cabinet color. The PX-S1100 is available in black, white, and red, the PX-S3100 in black only, the PX-S5000 in black only, the PX-S6000 is a special custom black with wood-grain trim, and finally the PX-S7000 in either white, black, or the custom retro mustard color.
These digital pianos are designed to be lightweight and portable or you can attach them to proprietary Casio furniture stands that make them more stable on those stands and also looks more attractive with those special stands. The top-of-the-line PX-S7000 by default comes with a “mid century” retro stand than is incredibly sturdy and functional and give that PX-S7000 a more contemporary appearance while the style takes you back to the mid 1950’s and 60’s.
The reason that you would want one of these PX-S portable pianos, especially because of it’s smaller size and weight, is because you want to move it around often, store it away from time to time, or you just have a small space to put one in. Another reason to want one of these pianos is because you really like the features and functions in them which the Casio traditional cabinet models don’t have.
Another reason for wanting one of these PX-S models is because of their key action, particularly when it comes to the newest PX-S models including PX-S5000, 6000, and 7000. The key actions in those 3 models are the same and are proprietary “hybrid” key actions that are designed and constructed with real spruce wood combined with sturdy resin.
This newly designed key action gives these 3 PX-S models a more lifelike key movement and key balance that the other models don’t have. The key action in the PX-S5000, 6000, and 7000, is even better and more realistic in certain ways than the more traditional Casio PX cabinet models. So just because these new portable models are smaller does not mean they are not less capable.
The PX-S6000 and PX-S7000 are the most impressive of the 3 new models and the PX-S7000 at $2499 seems to be the most popular model between $2000 to $3000 and this is due to a lot of different factors.
