Privia is the name of one of Casio's digital piano lines. They have 4-layer stereo grand piano tone which provides articulated dynamics using Casio's Linear Morphing sound technology and up to 256 notes of polyphony, depending on model. All Privias feature a "graded hammer keyboard action" which simulates the action on an acoustic grand. They have piano sounds and effects comparable to its competitors like Yamaha, Roland, and Kawai.
History
The Privia was launched by Casio in 2003, as a new-concept digital piano, with 88 keys, realistic tone and action, and at affordable prices. The first Privia was the model PX-100. It was able to be played on a table or optional stand, and was equipped with a digital sound source created by independent sampling of hard and soft grand piano tones.[3]
