Want to express something. .....

I am a long term member of the keyboard corner forum. I have been a korg snob for most of my life ( though, for piano sounds, I do lust after the Nord and Yamaha lines , not so much Roland )

My main weighted board for the last 6 years has alway been a korg ( started with a sp200 and progressed to a m50 88 ), I still have and adore the sp200 which I believe is korgs own RH2 key bed.

Now for a second let me rant about my m50 88, that's an RH3 key bed. This is the only keyboard that I have ever DESTROYED because of its action. I know that there are many documented case of the RH3 key bed failure but believe me this was chronic .... Anyways I digress!....

I frequent these forums quite a lot, some might call me a lurker but I am a gigging musician like most of you, and I constantly search for ways to make my gigging life easier. I obviously had to retire my m50 88. I ' secretly' bought a privia px5s. I cannot begin to explain how much of a paradigm shift this was for me because I honestly had a casio bias. I simply believed the good folk at the keyboard corner and particularly and his approachable nature and honestly, he seemed like a nice guy.

Now .... When I played this keyboard I first thought the sound were luscious but in all honesty I thought what's the action like? The I found the parameters to adjust the action/ touch response.......

POSSIBLE BLASPHEMY COMMIN......

sweet Jesus, such a keyboard.

Multi programmable sliders out the wazoo

Price. I live I Ireland and got mine for 850 euro. In Ireland we drink this with family on 1 night out. Bad I know!!!!

Best key bed and keyboard I have felt in years

Tweakable to the Nth degree

Lightweight - I guess around .....11 kg

Runs on batteries

Sounds Awesome. - I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. I still use a korg m50 73 which has that terrible action but it's mine and apart from the drop outs ( I may upgrade to a Kronos soon ) I will still use. - midid to my px5s for the time being.

In conclusion.

If anyone is tempted by this keyboard go and try it you will not be disappointed.

Regards.

Sorry for double post. Can't seem to delete from my iPad,

 

I took care of the duplicate post.   :) 

Ditto on everything you said. A year ago at this time, if you would have told me I would soon have 2 new Casio professional keyboards I would have thought you were crazy. What a difference one year can make. As amazing as these boards are, the patient and generous support we get from Mike, Jared and the rest of the Casio team when we're in trouble is priceless. I support companies that support their customers.
