I love this digi and will be playing it for years to come even after I get a newer one. Very satisfied with purchase!

Sound
Superior sound unplugged. Could compete with higher end pianos such as Roland or Yamaha. Sounds very rich and warm. However if you plug it in, sound quality drops a bit, but even then still sounds very good.

Features
This keyboard has a total of 10 sounds. 2 piano sounds, 2 electric piano sounds, pipe organ, harpsicord, very nice strings, vibraphone, and 2 other bass sounds which aren't default. Kinda strange that they didn't add that as default sounds.It also has a split feature to combine 2 sounds. The speakers are nice, but kinda soft. External speakers would be are a nice addition. There is no output jack save for the two 1/8 headphone jacks which need an adapter to plug into a regular 1/4 inch instrument cable. Has a cool recording feature, and an awesome library of built in pieces ranging from Beethoven to Mozart to "Happy Birthday"!

Ease of Use
This is the slimmest digital piano I've ever seen! It can be carried around easily without being bulky. Surprisingly, a slim hard case(which I own) would be too big for it! I have to pack it with towels to keep it from moving around. Your best bet for a case is probably the custom made privia gig bag. Weighing in at about 28 lbs. it is also VERY light for a digital piano.

Quality
Made read more from sturdy plastic but not as tough as gig stage pianos. Just don't bang it around while moving it.

Value
Best piano for the price!

The Wow Factor
The newer privias are taking the stage right now. This model has been discontinued but in NO way does that mean this piano is not worth your money! It has many of the features and basically same sound of the newer ones and is a great buy for the price!
