Danorganman Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Posted this in the other forum but realized it'd be better here Hey, I'm looking to buy a digital piano sometime soon. Thing is, whenever I look up these sorta keyboards online I can never find them playing the type of compositions i'd like to hear out of them. Beethoven, Chopin...etc It's usually jazz/modern type music, and that's not my sorta style. So I was wondering if anyone could potentially record a Beethoven piece ( one of his darker ones) on the 850 to get an idea of the type of sound it can produce.Thanks for the help. ( also any opinions on the keyboard, i always like hearing thoughts) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is at least on PX-850 owner there. yeah it's kinda weird how few responses i've gotten. I'd think there'd be more 850 owners on a casio forum. hahaThanks for the advice, i'll give it a try. Mike Martin may help me when he has time but I'll give it a shot anyways.

Null Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I dunno if you've seen this review already or not, and while it's more Scott Joplin/Boogie Woogie and Ray Charles than Bach/Beethoven/Chopin still it's a very thorough review with good sound quality. It may help you in your decision. EDIT::: AHA! I may have found exactly what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kind of surprised as well. We are working hard to get the word out about the forums so hopefully we will see more and more users. I know after Mike posted a link on the Casio Music Gear FB page we had A LOT of new users sign up - so we are making headway. I have a 5S and I'm pretty sure the samples and AiR stuff is the same as on the 850 - just the processing is different. I will ask Mike.... if there's a way to make the 5S identiical to the 850 I will be happy to make you some examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear samples of that regardless, know any Beethoven? Not Fur elise though...something a bit more moody, maybe more dynamic too.It's not even that It has to be the 850, I just can't seem to find these groups of keyboards playing the big compositions I loved to listen to growing up. So, if you can somehow help in that regard with your keyboard that'd be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just about every sonata so if you name few you would like I can make some recordings for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danorganman Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just want to thank everyone who helped. I ended up getting a Casio Privia PX-850. It looks beautiful, feels beautiful ( them keys!!), and sounds close to a real grand piano.Needless to say I'm very happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
