Casio PX-150 vs. Yamaha P105 - A Duel to the Death
Posted by Austin Bazaar on 1st Dec 2014
Have you been looking for a digital piano that looks AND sounds great? Does the frustration make you want to go all Bruce Lee on someone? We've decided to make it easier on you and compare two of the best pianos in their class... So let the battle begin!
Here's the smackdown, Mortal Kombat style:
Round 1:
In the left corner we have the Casio Privia PX-150 weighing in at 24.25 lbs. The 88-key PX-150 digital piano meets the demanding requirements of instructors across the world (first uppercut!) Instrument tones such as strings, organs, electric pianos and bass play great across the Casio PX-150. You also have the ability to play along with your instructor or a friend (a little double trouble action) using Duet mode. This splits the keyboard into two equal ranges to get through those tough passages.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.. Casio decided to blow your mind (Praying mantis into a flying kick, POW!)
The scaled hammer action and wood grain in the PX-150's piano keys creates an unmatched realism and organic touch that will make even the most demanding player feel right at home. The two features that make the Casio PX-150 stand out, in our opinion, are the built-in two track recorder and the class compliant USB MIDI out, which allows you to use the piano as a controller for the Apple iPad using Apple's camera connection kit.

Round 2:
In the right corner weighing in at 25.8 lbs we have the Yamaha P105B digital piano. Yamaha did not disappoint when they designed the Yamaha P105, with sampling technology that gives this keyboard that realistic piano sound everyone wants - at a surprisingly low price. Players will also enjoy the included sounds: 2 Grand Piano types, 4 Electric Piano types, Jazz Organ, Rock Organ, Pipe Organ, Vibraphone, Harpsichord, Strings, Wood Bass and Electric Bass.
BUT THEY DIDN'T STOP THERE. (internal brain combustion!)
The Yamaha P105 digital piano also offers a built-in duet partner mode, a versatile USB MIDI port for synth software and other MIDI hosts, and an 88-note Graded Hammer weighted keyboard - giving you that real life grand piano experience. Last but not least, the P105 offers the 128-Note Polyphony to ensure that every note gets heard; even when using the split mode and dual voice with drum patterns.

Both the PX-150 and P105 feature optional furniture stand and 3-pedal system upgrades. In case you want the looks of your digital piano to reflect the swankiness of your skills.
This is Sparta! (Austin Bazaaaar!)
