Casio Privia PX-350M

Compact musical combine

The Casio PX-350M harmoniously combines the features of a high-end MIDI keyboard with an authentic-sounding digital piano.

The piano has a 2nd generation 3-sensor hammer action system with 88 weighted keys with a good response, allowing you to get a tactile sensation like on an acoustic instrument. The keyboard cover is made in an ivory effect with a relief effect, which eliminates unnecessary slipping when playing technical passages.

Oscillation of the hammer system of the lower register, much slower and heavier than the upper one. This makes it possible to perform academic works with fine technique and passages in the upper register, but the implementation of jazz compositions with overloaded bass harmonization can be difficult, as low overtones are felt to “block” the sound.

If you're planning on mastering a barrel house style that needs a sharply syncopated, percussive manner, tapping the keyboard, both on press and on release, is a frustrating moment.

An intelligent acoustic resonator (AIR technology) is integrated into the presented model. With its help, there is a transition between the stereo layers of samples. Thanks to USB connectors and line inputs, the digital piano connects to a computer or tablet, and can also be used as a MIDI connector. To create your own masterpieces, you can use the 128-voice polyphony and 250 built-in timbres.

Minor drawbacks include the “littered” sound of the built-in speakers in the bass register and the inability to adjust the frequencies, which is quite acceptable for a digital piano in this price category. You can correct the defect with the help of an external amplifier and speakers.

It is worth noting that when using headphones, the defect is not felt. The model will be an excellent solution for beginners, as well as, thanks to its compactness, for touring musicians.
