Everywhere on the PX-350 spec pages it says "options SP-33 three pedal" but the current model number is SP-32 ... so there's a new attachment for the CS-67 stand, then? (Ah, and then I see CS-67 on one page, and CS-67P on another ... but I think that's the same thing.)

The new models use the same CS-67 stand. Not sure where the P came from. The SP-33 pedal is new and different than the SP-32

Can we get any details on how the action compares on the 350 vs 330? I spent a lot of time looking at the 330 and Yamahas with GHS/GH today. Did Casio reduce key bounce? Move pivot point back? Keys lighter or heavier or about the same?

If you squint, you can see the PX-150 behind me.

Is it that lightweight DPs have an effect on the way the keys feel. The Yamaha GH3/GH keys feel more secure and don't move sideways. There is a wobbly effect in the PX330 keys as well as in the Yamaha GHS key action.

Yeah the P155 keys do, but it also adds keyboard size plus 15 pounds over the P95 (and PX330). I guess we have to wait 2 months to hear end-user reports about 330 vs 350 keys.

I hope a little bit earlier...at least from insiders / beta testers / exhibit visitors.

I will be probably upgrading from the PX 330 to the PX 350.

Mike, would it be possible to use the SP 32 with the PX-350?

Thanks, that's just about the time I'll have the money for it. Hope it's gonna be a nice DP.

Hi everyone,

I just found this release from Japan. Looks like, as expected really, Casio is releasing new Celvianos as well. (At least in Japan for now)

I've been lurking this forum for a while now looking for my first DP. Can't wait to hear reviews of these new Casio's once they're out.

This is great news....thanks for posting it!

Cheers,

K.

I would like to know more specifics on what has been done to improve the action also. In an earlier post Mike said the action had been improved over the previous models, but could not say what specifically had been done. He also said side to side motion had been reduced. This was a common complaint on the Privia PX-x30 models with keys rubbing against adjacent keys and wobbling. From the sounds of his post the key texture that has been added to all models was also improved. I am looking forward to playing these new models when they come out to see how much better they are. Mike, any chance of getting info from Tokyo on what they did to improve the action?

it's kind of interesting to know from an academic viewpoint, but when you get down to it, all that really matters is getting your own fingers on it!

This question, and if not, SP-32 goes for $50 street pricing -- will SP-33 retail for the same?

I expect a price bump in the wholesale so probably a bump to the street price, too. We'll see where it levels off.

Gah! Casio is killing me! All the new Celviano's are up on the Japanese site.

No trace of them in North America or Europe though.

Do a little research here and you'll see the early mentions of PX-135 in Japan...and that model never made it to the US. 10 months later, it's the PX-150!

If I had to guess, I'd hope these models make it hear in 6-7 months at the very earliest. And no doubt with a price increase similar to the new Privias. Make your decisions accordingly.
