Scaled Hammer Action
88 touch-dynamic weighted keys based on concert piano keyboards make for an authentic playing feel, responding to all your playing nuance like an acoustic piano.

20 Piano Rhythms
The PX-120 has 20 piano rhythms, including drum sounds to provide you some accompaniment to play along with.

60 Songs
The PX-120 comes with a built-in Music Library of 60 built-in tunes. You can turn off the left hand part or right hand part of a song and play along on the piano, which makes for a great learning tool.

MIDI-In/Out
Use the MIDI in/out to control other MIDI instruments, or with external sequencers, computers, etc.

Lightweight

Two Piano Setting Keys
The piano setting key switches to grand piano sound at the touch of a button. Two settings are available: "classic" for a soft, discreet sound and "modern" with a more lighter, brighter character.

Duet Function
The new duet functions allows teachers and pupils to play parallel to each other. The PX-120 can be divided into two keyboard areas, which can be transposed individually.

Panel-Lock
The control panel is protected from unintentional moves while playing and to protect settings.

Powerful Speaker System

Wonderful budget digital piano if you get a good one
 
Review Date: June 23, 2008
Reviewer: A Reader,
I got the Casio PX-120 because it was the least expensive digital piano that met my requirements -- it's a full keyboard, has a very life-like piano feel, will allow you to practice with headphones, and -- with 128 note polyphony -- does not suffer from drop-outs in complex playing contexts. The keyboard instruments (two grand pianos, two electric pianos, a harpsichord, and a pipe organ) and the vibraphone are all pleasing to my ears. My worry with this and its Casio and Yamaha cognates were that a depressingly large number of people seem to report defective products in this price-range. It appears that M Williams was saddled with one of the bad ones -- there appears to be a tendency for the speakers to be defective in this model (although I have not seen anyone else report having problems with the headphone jacks.) Since everything that I researched that was within a couple hundred dollars of this unit also had a fair number of reports of failures out of the box, I decided to take a chance on this one.

So far, so good. I am delighted with the sound quality and the feel of the instrument. It would be nice if there were more attention to QC during manufacture of this class of digital piano, but it does appear to be a bit of a crap shoot. So, if you decide to get one of these pianos, you may well want to make sure that the dealer is reputable and will swap it out without giving you a problem if you get a bad one. If you get a good one, it is a real treasure at a very attractive price point.

Unbelievably high quality for the price point
 
Review Date: January 3, 2009
Reviewer: T. Herscovitch, Los Angeles, CA
As a university music student, my main use for this instrument is for practicing with headphones for long periods of time. My goal was to find the instrument within my budget that would most accurately reproduce the feel of an acoustic piano, as practicing for hours on non-weighted keys was really hurting my finger development and subsequent transitions to the real thing.

After reading a few reviews, I decided to roll the dice and try the PX-120... and I was not disappointed. The action is firm and realistic, and doesn't feel cheap or only semi-weighted. These keys are heavy and feel just like a real acoustic piano. The keyboard itself is amazingly slim, but not flimsy or annoyingly small.

My only small gripe is the quality of the built-in speakers, something I knew was going to be the biggest drawback of this particular keyboard. When practicing with headphones (or, I assume, some sort of external amplifier), the tones are actually quite good and some of the best I've heard. Unfortunately, the speakers don't seem to do a very good job of conveying this, as the tone (especially around the middle of the keyboard) sounds a bit flat or muddled. However, it's not distractingly bad if you're not too concerned about this, and as I said it is absolutely no reflection on the quality of the patches themselves.

Short version: This instrument can't be beat for the price, feels just like an acoustic piano, and is extremely well made, though the one feature they obviously cheaped out on is the on-board speakers.

Highly recommended! Five stars.
