Get to know them!





Casio's Privia digital pianos are renowned for their authentic playability and lifelike sound. Now, the PX-S1100 represents a fresh new design to the Privia series, bringing smart technology into your musical life. With its sleek glossy panel and unibody chassis, the PX-S1100 evokes a high-end acoustic grand, with a svelte modern design that's not much larger than the keys themselves. The touch sensor controls are revealed only after the power button is pressed and are easy to see in any lighting. They fade away when powered off, leaving only a clean, seamless top panel. And thanks to Casio's newly designed, fully weighted Smart Scaled Hammer Action keyboard, the PX-S1100 provides uncompromising piano touch with a proprietary key scaling system that reproduces the characteristics of each of the 88 notes, while ebony and ivory key textures ensure confident, comfortable playing.

How to Choose the Best Digital Piano or Keyboard for Your Sound


Grand piano and beyond





The PX-S1100 is loaded with 18 onboard Tones, including a gorgeous stereo grand piano. String resonance brings out the harmonic bloom between vibrating strings, while damper resonance adds natural richness and depth. When you play the PX-S1100, you hear the mechanical sounds of dampers rising, as well as keys being pressed and returning to their original position. For even greater detail, hammer response and key-off simulation react naturally to your playing dynamics. You'll also find lifelike reed electric pianos, organs, strings, vibraphone, harpsichord, and more.





Onboard speaker system and Bluetooth





Integrated Bluetooth audio lets you connect your devices wirelessly to the PX-S1100, allowing you to play your music through its powerful stereo speaker system. The onboard amplification system projects crystal-clear sound toward both the pianist and the audience, and it's engineered to sound accurate whether the instrument is placed against a wall, on a table, or in an open performance space. The speakers project toward the player from stealth ports just above the keys, and toward the audience from rear-facing drivers behind an elegantly designed grill. Two headphone jacks allow for quiet practice, duo performances, and teacher-student interaction.





Compact and lightweight





Privia pianos have become popular with Sweetwater's gigging keyboardists because they deliver authentic grand piano sound and feel in a compact package. Casio has managed to make the PX-S1100 the world's slimmest digital piano without compromising performance. The PX-S1100 will look amazing in any room in your home. Plus, when it's time to play out, you'll really appreciate its light weight (under 25 pounds) and optional AA battery power.





Connect and create





Customize your PX-S1100 by downloading the free Chordana Play for Piano app. Change instrument settings, control the MIDI recorder, and develop your technique while learning your favorite MIDI songs with an intuitive piano roll that grades your playing. View PDF scores and use Casio's optional SP-34 3-pedal unit (or third-party Bluetooth pedals) to turn pages while playing. The integrated audio player gives you independent control over pitch and tempo, and can remove melodies or vocals from your audio files.
