#Casio #Privia #PX770
Welcome, and thanks for being here for another video at the Merriam Pianos CZcams channel. Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into the Casio Privia PX-770 home digital piano.
The PX-770 has all of the hallmarks of a home digital piano with an 88 note, touch sensitive weighted keyboard, beautiful cabinet and integrated triple pedal system.
If this is the first time to the Merriam Pianos channel, please subscribe, we’d really appreciate the support!
Sound Engine:
The PX-770 uses a lot of the same technology you’ll find in other parts of the Casio line, For starters, there’s 128 note polyphony which is more than enough for solo piano playing. There’s a solid 16 watt double speaker system, powered by Casio’s AiR tone generator. The AiR tone generator has been very successful for Casio, firmly establishing them as a viable mid-range competitor to the ‘Big 3’ of Kawai, Roland and Yamaha.
There’s 19 on-board sounds here, including various acoustic piano, E pianos and various other tones. The acoustic piano tones are really satisfying, whereas some of the other tones do leave something to be desired. That being said, anyone looking for a digital piano to be primarily used on the acoustic piano settings should be happy with this.
Piano Action:
The action found in PX-770 is one of the highlights of the instrument. Casio’s refers to the action as 88-key, Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II, with simulated ebony and ivory keys. This action is a huge improvement over what Casio has put out in the past, even the most recent generation.
The texture is a bit exaggerated on the white keys but feels good overall, whereas the texture on the black keys feels very close to a real acoustic piano. This is an action I’d be perfectly comfortable playing for hours on end without issue.
Features:
The Concert Play feature found here is definitely worth highlighting. Concert Play allows you to play along with or just listen to preloaded tracks of famous classical works, with full symphony. There’s also a fairly large library of preloaded piano works.
There’s of course also a metronome, transpose, split and the ability to adjust the touch curve. The case is really sleek and doesn’t take up too much, with a lean, modern look.
Conclusions:
Overall, Casio has done a really good job here with the PX-770. It competes well with the offerings from the ‘Big 3’ and really serves as a viable alternative, for a slightly lower cost.

Omg. just as I tried looking for your review on the PX-770 a while ago, you actually uploaded this video recently. Thank you so much!! :D
Came for a quick listen, stayed for the excellent overview - best, honest piano review!
Fantastic review but please change the camera angle, we need to see your hands!
this review was very helpful, thanks a lot! :)
I prefer when you film the pianos sideways so we can see your magic hands! ;)
I posted it in another video of your, but I guess it is true to this video to,
Wow, love the way you play piano, cool, composed, casual and to the beat. Watched many review of yours, every piano looks great in your hands. You probably have a MIDAS touch to change any sound to wonderful music. Although I have a piano, started watching all review just to see how an instrument sounds in your hands. I am certain, you not only inspire many but also make people aspire to play like you one day. Your viewers will be in a pleasant 'SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE' in a wonder HARMONY" you create. Let your Merriam Music & Channel multiple the joy in several OVERTONE.
just bought mine today...awesome piano...with very nice design and sound
Great review, Stu Harrison! You really do give the best reviews! I just bought the PX-770 based on your review and doing some other research on this digital keyboard. Thanks for your in-depth reviews and your outstanding musical talents!
Can I ask you a couple questions? I'm thinking of buying one if these, how have you found it, are you pleased with the sound? Is there anything you don't like? Thanks in advance!
Hi, do you still have the keyboard and do you like it?
Great review! I am interested in this particular instrument. Thank you. But you didn't mention the pedals...
Dear Merriam: *Touch and key action* is the most important thing for a pianist.
The sounds and volume can easily be enhanced and refined.
Question: Do the keys clunk when depressed against the pad?
I think you're the best player doing keyboard reviews. What is your piano training learning background? TY
Hey Charles, thanks so much for that! I started as a classical Suzuki piano student when I was 3, and went through RCM Conservatory until about 15 and got my performance diploma, then I was a choir accompanist and a church organist for 5 years, then off to Jazz Performance Degree at U of T, and from there a mix of jazz, R&B, classical, and musical theatre work in live performance, touring, and studio work. Cheers!
@@MerriamPianos, you are clearly a very outstanding pianist. Without any question your style is totally pro . It's great for piano reviews as on\e can tell if any given instrument is suitable for professional playing or not. It's nice that you are generally positive about all the instruments you play. The market is becoming loaded with instruments that are all quite good. I would take any of these pianos over the spinets of yesteryear.
@@MerriamPianos So, I'm counting there about 35 years of constant playing and learning on you 😱 !!!! That's great hope. If I start now playing, I may be as good at age 70. 🙄 Better I get starting. 🤔. But seriusly. Big fan of your playing. Where can we hear more of your music? Greetings from Argentina.
I have this specific model. It outputs far better sound than what you're ever going to hear through the onboard speakers. I have mine going through a 200 watt receiver/amp by using a splitter cable going from the headphone jack and going out to stereo speakers that are on tray tables in front of the piano lying on their back and pointed toward the ceiling - two sets of speakers actually - one larger set for the bass and midrange, one set that's oriented toward the treble end. Besides having much greater ability to cover the acoustic spectrum than the onboard speakers, having them in front and pointed upward is more akin to how a real grand piano produces sound. Sort of a poor man's NX3 Avant Grand. I would say my method above is better than hearing it through headphones - obviously what you're hearing in this demo is off the headphone jack and though very clear it sounds kind of dry and emphasizes the artificiality, there's no ambient "room" mixing of the sound as with how you hear a real piano. It would be great if it had an actual dedicated line level output to do this. Just be aware that no digital piano no matter the cost, no matter how well the samples were recorded can truly mimic the live ambient sound of an acoustic piano.
Can you connect headphones to this model ?
How would you compare this model to the PX stage series? How does the action feel, or what about the keys? Does the stage series have the ambient warmth the console privias have?
Sir, i tried to play this and it feels good, but i was wondering how does the action feel compared to KAWAI ES110's.
Hi! Can you tell me, don’t the keys make specific plastic sounds during your playing?
how does the keyboard action of this px770 compares to yamaha p-125?
Thank you Edward Norton for the great review.
Yeah. He's not only a great fighter, also a great pianist and reviewer.
9:39 13:41 19:02 Oops, typos there. It should be always PX-770, not PXS-770.
Please add review of Casio px 870
Please, differenece betwin casio privia px770 and px160? Thanks.
thank youuuuu
Wow, it got me when I saw that "je te veux" in concert mode
Timestamp?
14:34
This was much more than an excellent review, it was a mini-concert incorporated into your review! I am very impressed with your skills on the piano!
I was hoping for a harpsichord function. There are plenty of functions to keep me entertained.
Thank you again for your review! I’m just beginning my research. If you have demonstrated any other pianos for CZcams, can you please provide a link.
Hi Susan! Thank you for tuning in and for your very kind compliments! If you check out our channel, we actually have hundreds of video reviews and demos for you to explore. :)
How are you recording the Audio from the piano?
How are the Keys balanced. I
Grand piano
Please explain how to get the Metronome to click, rather than ding.
Can I use this with an external speaker?
I own a PX700 and the key-action is very convincing.
Can you connect headphones?
i've never played on a real piano, but now i bought this model and the black keys feels heavier than the white ones, is that normal?
@@miguelfernandez5583 i know it is 5 months later, but yes, that's how it should be.
It is amazing how efortlessly you present even the cheapest instruments! Thank you! Question: PX-770 or PX-S110 or YDP-145 for home use? It is going to be my 8-yearsold daughter learning piano and my (from time to time) escape item (altuogh I am a guitarist). Iwoudl appreciate your support on this, however I know you are not able to answer all the questions :)
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Thanks for tuning in! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the video. The PX770 presents an excellent cost-to-value ratio and is a good bet if you're looking for a console style piano. The PXS1100 is a very different offering. If portability is a requirement, that would be a great fit. Thanks and all the best!
Hi! Great review! Perhaps one follow-up question: isn't 16W total output a bit too little for this instrument? Thanks!
Thank you kindly! Not really to be honest. Many entry level digital pianos have speaker systems within the 12W to 18W range. The next model up from the PX770, the PX870, has a far more powerful 40W speaker though. :)
Fantastic review. I had almost decided on Roland RP102, but now I am confused. Can you please do a comparison for both? Which is better for learning classical music?
what did you decide? i cant choose either
Same
Cuál es mejor Priva px-770 o px s1000?
Why do none of these digital pianos seemingly have an upright sound set? Why only multiple Grand piano sounds?
Is the Px-870 next?
I was looking at the korg lp380 and then I came across that one. Wonder which one would play better as just a regular old fashion grand piano. No fancy connectivity or recording capabilities.
It really comes down to a matter of preference, but I would personally give the edge to the Casio PX770. It has a solid touch and a really great, authentic-sounding piano voice. :)
Thanks for the review, how would you compare the Casio PX 770 against FP-30?
I ask because they cost more or less the same in UK
wonder the same, im between those two as well....cant decide...
which one did you buy?
@@totylee which one did you buy?
@@dettrock8951 I wondered the same, I tried both extensively side by side. The FP30 is a slightly better unit but it has no stand or pedals, you obviously end up paying for the stand (quality one) on the Casio. The piano sound is more convincing on the FP30 and you have a bit more settings. The feel is really similar and good on both it's actually hard to make a difference between the 2, buying an aftermarket stand and set of pedal for the FP30 will make it less attractive imo. If you want something to play at home and look tidy and good get the Casio. I bought the Casio for this reason. You can't go wrong either way.
Great presentation, I bought this for my 9 yr old daughter and it’s great but her little cousin played with it and it’s now an octave higher. How do we change the octave back ?
Thank you kindly! Getting things reverted back to default shouldn't be too difficult. If you reference the user manual, looking for "transposition" or, even easier, "factory reset" instructions and follow the steps. From there you will be able to revert things back to the way the piano arrived. :)
I wonder, does it sounds like a grand piano? Is it worth the price?
no digital piano sounds like a grand...
Vc ouve o som de um upright acústico e vem ver do digital...é igual suco...um de frutas comparado com um de pacote... totalmente diferente
Escapement is meaningless on a digital piano. I'm guessing that it has a PX-150 action, but possibly improved. It sounds OK on my computer, I prefer the sound of the PX-S300 with certain of it's sound enhancements. This piano sound seems very generic digital, however, the play along feature is super.
In a former life you would have been a jazz pianist. With a an every evening job. Today you make a casio presentation video. What is better?
sir, if roland fp-10(with stand and no triple pedal) and the px-770 are at same price in my country which one will be a good option for home piano playing and
MIDI music production....?
is pha-4 slightly or significantly better than 770bk..?
Which one do you recommend.?
BTW i'm from India and your videos are awesome and so much helpful.
Thankyou.
Casio sound terrible
@@user-xy8ec9nw3u Hmm, I bought it though...
It is my first full size digital piano(previously owned a toy one) and it didn't disappoint me in any way.
for good sounds, i use vst's. Omnisphere Keyscape..:)
@@sirgemahender6148
I just laugh. I have a Yamaha, but maybe I'll try the Cazio in the future
I am interested in PX770 as an upgrade to PX350. Is the action very different?
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! While I have not spent a ton of time on the PX350, the PX770 has a wonderful and impressive touch for its price point!
@@MerriamPianos Thanks! Indeed. I am seriously considering it.
hi iam torn between casio px770 and roland rp-102 so what do you think is better ? :
Hi! Brent here! At the end of the day, the decision comes down to personal preference. The PX770 and RP102 are both wonderful pianos that pack a lot of value! With that said, personally, I favour the RP102 mainly because of its PHA4 action, which provides a wonderful touch. My recommendation would be to test these pianos out at a showroom to see which option you resonate with. Thanks and hope this helps! :)
@@MerriamPianos thanks. ill try both of them and see which one i like more
Excellent sound! How did you recorded? With the headphone output direct into the audio interface? I was never able to get the stereo sound like this
Yes, that is correct! We typically take the direct line out feed of a digital piano to ensure that we are capturing and representing the sound of each piano's tone engine as transparently as possible. :)
Why would 128 notes in polyphony ever be needed when there are only 88 keys on a piano??
music.stackexchange.com/questions/15789/why-digital-piano-has-more-polyphony-voices-than-there-are-keys-on-the-keyboard
Or for example, 14:53.
When you hit a key, there are multiple layers of sampled piano sound that is being triggered. Its not like 1 polyphony for 1 key. Hence the more the better
Not to mention there are several layers of those 88 keys going on more complex pieces :)
Hello, please, does it also transpose the key?
Hi Ivana! Yes! The PX770 does have the ability to transpose up and down by 12 semitones. You can also octave shift by two octaves in either direction. :)
@@MerriamPianos Hi, Stu, thank you for your reply and for each and every wonderful review, they are very helpful indeed. I am in Slovakia, presently searching for a digital piano for myself, for home use. I used to be really good at playing the piano, won several competitions in my University days but then I got married and spent 11 years without a piano. Now I have decided It's finally time to invest in me a little bit, I have 700 € to spend but looking for a piano where I could enjoy Chopin, Debusy, and similar pieces... At first, I thought of FP30X, but without a stand and without anything, because of the money, OR, this one PX 770 with a triple pedal system and a stand and a neat cover to hide the keyboard. I haven't had the chance to compare these two and a friend of mine says that I should choose something better.... I am Sooooooo confused, I am desperate WHICH piano to choose. I would like to buy the cheapest best piano 😅 could you help? Walk in my shoes? 😍😇
Casio privia px 770 or yamaha p-125?
770
p-125 has the old GHS action
770 is better
Idk why other casio's has 198 notes in polyphony,... Who would play that?
There is no dynamic sound. The piano is forte and piano!
It’s Vltava
Or is it the Moldau? ;)
Budget 🤡
It's relative. This is an affordable digital piano if we are talking about actual pianos that sound and feel good. You can buy garbage keyboards for $200-400 but they are not the same thing.
