Even though the sound quality may not be as "perfect" as a $2000-$3000 digital piano, for the price it is absolutely astounding. The digital piano feels just like a real piano and I'm very impressed with the difference in tones as you press the key harder or softer. The instruments take on a whole different dimension when you just add more pressure. The saxophone will take on a more full gurthy sound if pressed hard, and will be sweet and soft if pressed lightly. The 60's electric piano sound can be perfectly matched up with the sound that was used in Riders on the Storm by The Doors (very excited when I found this sound). All-in-all, for the price, you will not get a better digital piano experience. Casio, with this product will keep me coming back for more.

Sound
The sound quality is very good with this digital piano, beats anything in the price range. The sound on the grand piano for example has a different tone when you hit the keys hard to resemble the hard action of a piano, and when you play the keys softer, the sound and tone is soft and sweet. Even though the sound is still a little electronic when played through a $6000 Mackie system, after everything is equalized it sounds great.

Features
It has more features than the average pianist will ever need. The limitation of features comes in when you're trying to get some synthesized effects out of it. Though it is a digital piano, not a synthesizer.… read more I'm overall very pleased with the features that are offered on this digital piano, and it worked out very well in the studio recordings I did with it. The best feature is the realism of the "hammer-action" I believe. It feels exactly like my Yamaha piano that was purchased 10 years ago.

Ease of Use
The digital piano is very easy to use if you're not getting into too many complicated things. Many of the different settings the keyboard has involve using a function key and a corresponding key on the digital piano which is not labeled. The book that comes with the digital piano has a very clear listing of what each function is on the digital piano and is very easy to understand. If you know what you want, just get used to which key offers your desired outcome and you're all set. A little more user friendly would've been nice, but you can't complain about the price.

Quality
This digital piano has a wonderful feel and is very lightweight with an innovative slim yet sturdy design. The key action is very well engineered and feels great. Though the shell is made of plastic, it all seems very solid from my experience so far. I had a previous casio product made less solid out of plastic as well, and it fell down a flight of stairs. It still works perfectly fine, and I'm assuming the construction of this more expensive digital piano is only of higher quality.

Value
This digital piano is, as I said earlier the best for the price. Casio has really done well with their Privia series rivaling Yamaha in quality in my opinion, but for basically half of the price.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to deal with the company regarding the Privia PX-310, but I have dealt with Casio regarding my past keyboard, and they were very helpful, very friendly, and quickly solved my problem.

The Wow Factor
The digital piano is very aesthetically pleasing as it has smooth lines, is very slim and compact while still offering a full 88-key keyboard with wonderfully weighted keys.
