“The best service I have ever had via the internet”

“I just thought I had to write and congratulate your company on the best service I have ever had via an internet order.

Having ordered the piano(PX 330 and the additional bundle) on 6th March, the items were delivered to my door the very next day.

The only one small problem was the 3 pedal bar was not delivered, however a phone call to Asana at UK Pianos was swiftly returned with the fact that they were out of stock but would back fill the order next week.

I would thoroughly recommend UK Pianos to anyone and have done so already to my daughters piano teacher, who will spread the word. Well done UK pianos keep up the great work.”

The new Casio PX330 digital piano features a new Linear Morphing AIF Sound Source based on detailed analysis of the acoustics of a grand piano. It realistically reproduces the fine nuances of everything from lilting pianissimos to powerful fortissimos. With the PX330 digital piano, you can experience the joy of having complete musical expressiveness at your fingertips.

The damper pedal adds acoustic resonance, which is similar to that produced by the vibration of strings in a grand piano. The result is richer, more acoustically natural sound.

True and smooth grand piano level key action is reproduced using the actual weight of the hammer, without relying on springs. A new keyboard structure dramatically improves the playability of successive notes, for touch that is even closer to that of a grand piano than ever before. In addition, low notes play heavier and higher notes play lighter, just like an acoustic grand. The result is everything you could possibly ever want in a quality keyboard plus much more.

With the PX330, you can download songs to a computer and then transfer up to 10 of them to digital piano memory and expand the number of songs available. You also can use an SD memory card to store song data and recordings of your performances. A USB port is provided for easy connection to a computer.

Casio PX330 Reviews

Casio Privia-330 It is Fantastic, the best thing that I have ever bought in my life so far and I am 49.

I used to play the piano when I was young, I am nearly fifty now, I was forced to take lessons by my mum and dad for years, I did it and I did as well as a lad can do to please his parents but I did not really enjoy it, half an hours practice every day, music lessens every Saturday afternoon.
Later in life about 18 years ago I brought a Yamaha keyboard and tinkled about a bit until I got fed-up.

Now later in life, I recently had the opportunity of being able to play a very expensive Rolland Grand Piano when on holliday in Spain.

It was amazing, not the Roland but the experience of playing what felt like a real piano again. Anyone who has played a proper old piano would understand this now compared to an electric keyboard but I had not had the experience untill then.

I played every day and I re- learnt my cords and I think that I re-learnt a very large lesson in life, gosh Piano playing and any instument playing is so theraputic. I can sail away into another World when playing very simple made up tunes or things that I recognise.

When I returned from holiday my wife badgered me to go to a music shop to look at modern pianos.
I evetually gave in on a rainy day and tried a few, at first I was thinking of a Rolland or a Yamaha, money did not matter within reason but I wanted the keyboard to feel right and to encourage me to play again.
I tried a Casio 720 which is an old model but I liked the feel and the sound. I was very suprised as I did not expect my intrest to be in a Casio piano.
I did not buy at that moment because I was still researching exactly what I wanted but I had made up my mind that a Casio was very good and would satisfy my needs, it sounded as good as the £13000 Roland that I had played on holiday and this only cost £600.
We took the leaflet home and I studied the different models and I began to understand more about the weighted keys and the recordings of the best grand pianos being used to create the sounds that come frome these keyboard or pianos.
I eventualy chose a newer but lower numbered model called the Privia PX-330 purely because I am into the most modern computers and stuff and this was the most modern computer friendly model but with the same weighed keyboard, I read all the reviews and every review was calling it’s praises, it was modern, small but full keyboard, sounded just like the best grand piano in the World.

It has took me fourty or so years to realise that my mum and dad struggled with seven kids and no support but paid for all of us to go to piano lessons and they made use all practice piano every day. Kids these days would divorse their parent before putting upwith what we had to do and that was after all the jobs.

But after all this time I have now realised that my parents gave me the most special gift in the World, the basic ability to play a proper piano with weighted keys as pianos were in them days. Most of those are smashed up now because the were too heavy and a nuisence in a modern house.

Moving forward 40 years from then and a smaller but very astute Company called Casio, I used their calculators at school. They have studied pianos in what I think is a better way than Rolland or Yamaha, Casio are an underdog in the music business.

But I, as a tryer of new technology with my past experience and current experience of my new found tallent would deffinately reccomend a Casio Privia 330.

It really feels like a real old piano, it sounds like the best Grand piano in the Worlld which may be true,
I will finish by saying that I very rarely do reviews like this but I am SO SO SO SO SO pleased with my Casio Piano.
Well Done Casio
