Who sells `em? Every dealer I`ve been in lately, has none but the Big Three plus one or two more. Never Casio . . today, in Penrith, the Piano Lady said "It`s not a brand we stock" with maybe a trace of disdain in her voice.

I`ll try Blackpool and Preston next . . . !

Blackpool and Preston?

You must live near me.

Rimmers Music group stock CASIO they have shops in Bolton, southport and Leyland.

In Manchester Chase has them too.

But Dawsons, Forsyths and a load of other companies don't. Old reputations die hard I suppose my dad never bought Ford after a lemon in the 1970s.


TBH

I've played the PX850 back to back vs Roland, the 155 and Kawai and the casio has an uncanny valley sound.

I used that a short while ago; it threw up Amazon! This time, I have a choice. Blackpool, Preston or Bolton . . . a day out at any rate!
Essbrace, I shall look out for this uncanny valley sound . . .I`ll feel cheated if it`s not there; indeed, I`ll embarrass my missus and ask the shop assistant for it . . .
