I'm interested in getting hands on a PX-560 to pay and hear it first hand. I see a lot to like about the keyboard, but I've been completely stymied in my attempts to actually find one. I live in Pinehurst NC (28374), and the closest stores selling Casio keyboards are Guitar Center and Sam Goody, both in Raleigh, NC. This is an hour and a half from my home, which I', more than willing to drive to see and play one, but these stores do not stock this keyboard in the store. They are willing to order me one to buy, but have not offered to get one into their store for me to demo. I taught Music for thirty years in public schools and currently own a Yamaha Clavinova CVP and a Yamaha PSR Arranger. I played both of these instruments in a store before I purchased them, for the obvious reasons of getting the feel of the keyboard, and assessing the quality of the sounds. I'm also interested in the quality of the built in speakers, to determine if they would be adequate for the particular use I envision for this keyboard. I don't feel that expecting to be able to actually sit down at the keyboard and play it is asking too much! I've contacted several other stores in Durham, and Fayetteville and was told that they also did not have a PX-560 in the store for demo purposes. Can anyone tell me where I'd have to travel to to actually see and play one? The Casio website hand no actual video/audio of the instrument on it either. I've found a number of videos on Youtube, but that's not the same as sitting at the keyboard and actually playing and hearing it live.
I have to say that I have found the other completing keyboard manufacturer's websites to be much more helpful in that they include actual media of their instruments being played. Casio has printed descriptions and a list of specs, but not much else!
Can anyone out there tell me where I can actually find a PX_560? I do not know anyone personally that owns one.
