That was Tom Brislin playing. Perhaps you've heard of him, he actually substituted for Rick Wakeman on tour for Yes...
... Needless to say, I look forward to hearing and seeing videos of your work very soon. This strikes me as rather rude. You make it sound like only those with serious performance cred are qualified to comment on Casio videos.

The good thing about Casio pianos is that you can try them for yourself, playing whatever style of music you like. I would expect that these new models will be in stores well before the Christmas rush. With manufacturers such as Kawai, you are very often totally reliant on videos/sound samples in making your purchasing decision.
Personally, I didn't mind Tom Brislin's improvisation, as it revealed the basic character of the new Privia. My initial reaction was reasonably positive, although I thought I still detected the rapid decay issue. I hope to get to play one in a few weeks, if my local GC deigns to carry one.

I think we should try to encourage Mike to say around on here. There will be issues that he can advise upon and perhaps even resolve and he could be a great resource for Casio owners. We all know how much we value Kawai James around here. All the manufacturers should have a PianoWorld envoy!

Dewster, You're right, I probably shouldn't have added that last comment and I'm sorry that I did. My apologies if that came across as rude.  I just found his post rather puzzling.  Never in my career have I seen the what a performer played criticized, followed up by the words hate and sick about the same performance of a product demonstration.  Regardless of Tom's history and talent,  wouldn't it have been more constructive to say what you'd want to hear rather the trash what was played? We've got some time before these new Privia begin shipping, so I'd be happy to take requests on what you want to hear. In the meantime, I have a lot of audio and some additional video from NAMM that I'll try to get posted as quickly as possible.Â

I think we should try to encourage Mike to say around on here. I hoped that would be the case after the XW launch, when Mike popped up on this forum after a long absence. Although I expect he's very busy, I too would like it if he could participate more widely (i.e not just at product launch times). Sorry to talk about you in the third person, Mike! Only a million miles off-topic, but if you like watching good improv and musicians having a great time with a well-known song, check out THIS.

Steve I agree. My fault I suppose, I tend to see an "argument from authority" around every tree.

Some do tend to let their hair down around here (guilty!) so if a comment seems overly harsh often it's just off-the-cuff and shouldn't be taken to heart. I don't want to put words in Slipperykeys mouth, but some of the negativity may be due to frustration with the "flurry of notes" phenomenon so common with DP demos and built-in demo songs. This prevents one from hearing what individual sustained notes sound like. (And I must confess that jazz noodling isn't exactly my cup of tea either.)

Mike, We enjoy having you post here on this forum. I think someone should commend you on the work you have been doing for Casio over the last three years. The knowledge and support you have given users on the XW-P1 has been phenominal. There's no other manufacturer that I can think of that provides tutorials, workshops, product info and product launches quite the way that Casio has been doing. I appreciate the knowledge and straight foward approach you bring. You are doing a great job.

I'm reading the forum all the time. Your feedback is critical for Casio's future. So I read it all, the good stuff as well as the criticisms not only here but on other forums. There honestly haven't been too many XW questions here on this forum and understand I have to watch some of the other high traffic XW threads such as the one on Harmony Central that has over 400 posts and almost 60,000 views. Don't worry about talking about Mike in the third person, Mike does it all the time.

Time flies when you're having fun!

Yes, synth stuff doesn't feature too prominently here, and I understand you must go where the interest lies. Just remember, though, Piano World is the Rolls-Royce of keyboard forums! I agree with everyone who's said that it's really good to have you contributing here, when you have the time and energy. Heck, we need an industry rep who's not totally besotted with red paint!!!

Can you ladies stop fighting so Mike can show us a picture of the PX-750 and the PX-850. I want more info on these before I pull the trigger on an F-120

Privia PX-750 Privia PX-850 Wow...very nice! I'm very much looking forward to seeing the spec sheets for the PX-750 and PX-850, and actually playing them. Looks like I'm going to put off buying a DP until these new Privias hit the streets! Any news about when they'll be available? Cheers, K.

The PX-150 and PX-350 should ship before the end of September here in the US. The PX-750 and PX-850 are targeted for October.
The PX-750 has a similar specification to the PX-150, the primary difference is the included stand with key cover.
The PX-850 is a different animal. In addition to the many physical differences in the cabinet, like the opening lid on top, the PX-850 has different capabilities of the AiR chip unlocked. Here is a quick run down:
18 Instrument Tones (5 are piano) 256 Note Polyphony Damper Resonance Hammer Response Sympathetic Resonance Lid simulation (This is separate from what the PX-850 cabinet will do) you can choose whether you ant the lid on the Grand Piano open, closed, half or removed. 1/4" Outputs USB to Device with Audio Recording

So the 850 is the only model with sympathetic string resonance? It seems a shame that it's not in any compact/portable model (i.e. the 350).
