Casio Privia PX-3



This is the performance Priva keyboard we’ve all been waiting for. The PX-3 is a pro-level digital stage piano and controller – with all the sounds and MIDI capabilities a serious player needs for studio work and gigging. At an impossible 23.8 pounds, the PX-3 offers full-sound editing, must-have effects like a dial-in rotary speaker for B-3’s, assignable MIDI controls, and pianos that sound and feel like a great acoustic grand and are a joy to play. All this at a significantly lower price than most comparable instruments.
