(More customer reviews)I got the Casio PX-120 because it was the least expensive digital piano that met my requirements -- it's a full keyboard, has a very life-like piano feel, will allow you to practice with headphones, and -- with 128 note polyphony -- does not suffer from drop-outs in complex playing contexts. The keyboard instruments (two grand pianos, two electric pianos, a harpsichord, and a pipe organ) and the vibraphone are all pleasing to my ears. My worry with this and its Casio and Yamaha cognates were that a depressingly large number of people seem to report defective products in this price-range. It appears that M Williams was saddled with one of the bad ones -- there appears to be a tendency for the speakers to be defective in this model (although I have not seen anyone else report having problems with the headphone jacks.) Since everything that I researched that was within a couple hundred dollars of this unit also had a fair number of reports of failures out of the box, I decided to take a chance on this one.
So far, so good. I am delighted with the sound quality and the feel of the instrument. It would be nice if there were more attention to QC during manufacture of this class of digital piano, but it does appear to be a bit of a crap shoot. So, if you decide to get one of these pianos, you may well want to make sure that the dealer is reputable and will swap it out without giving you a problem if you get a bad one. If you get a good one, it is a real treasure at a very attractive price point.
