Review: Casio Privia PX-S3100
In the fall of 2019, I reviewed the Casio Privia PX-S3000, a digital piano that impressed me in many ways. Now comes its successor, the Privia PX-S3100. It looks the same, offers the same controls layout, and does the seemingly impossible by packing everything into the same 25-pound form.
Review: Kawai ES920
Flagship Slab on a Diet
The Kawai ES920 packs a lot of power, performance, and functionality into a portable digital slab piano significantly lighter than its competitors, and with the sacrifice of relatively few features.
Review: Korg G1B Air Digital Piano
The G1B Air is Korg’s latest entry in what we might call the category of “lifestyle” digital pianos. Such instruments prioritize the core piano virtues of acoustic-piano sound and keyboard feel in an aesthetically pleasing package that can be tucked into a small apartment and still leave room for your work-at-home desk.
Review: Dexibell Vivo S9 Stage Piano
Since its launch in 2013, Italian upstart Dexibell has become almost a household name in digital pianos for the home and stage. The Vivo S9, clearly aimed at gigging pros, is the only Dexibell instrument to combine in a single keyboard every feature found in the company’s wide product line.
Review: Nord Grand
Keyboard geeks tend to think of Nord keyboards either as some of the finest in the world—or as pricey badges of hipster credibility whose standout feature is their red color. I surprised myself by falling in love with the Nord Grand.
Review: Casio Privia PX-S3000
Every once in a while, an instrument comes along that can be called revolutionary. One way that can happen is that it rewrites the rules for what you can and should expect for the price, and raises competitors’ eyebrows in the bargain. The Casio Privia PX-S3000 is such an instrument.
Review: Yamaha Clavinova
CSP-170 and CSP-150
The Clavinova CSP series boasts two marquee features: cascading Stream Lights above the keys that guide your fingers to teach you songs and exercises; and the ability to analyze chords in ordinary stereo audio files, then display them as notes on a staff or as jazz-style chord charts.
