Adult beginner here but I figured by getting a top quality (not an entry level) instrument that was COMPLETE in all respects and sounds great, I'd be more inclined to keep at it. It allows me to practice using earphones while simultaneously listening to my laptop (thru same earphones) online lessons. This way I'm the only one hearing anything and my wife doesn't think there's a drunk monkey loose running down the keyboard. Seller was great. Got to me ahead of schedule with every nut, bolt and washer included. Please note: The bench seat is shipped separately. Mine got delivered about 2 hrs after the main package.

I bought the PX-S7000 two weeks ago as an upgrade to my PX-S1100, and I regret nothing. Both are fantastic digital pianos, and I recommend the s1100 to anyone who wants a top-notch instrument for under a thousand dollars. But if you have a little more cash on hand, then it is definitely worth splurging for the S7000.Here are the main reasons I upgraded.KEY ACTIONThe action of the S1100 was fine, but at times I would get sloppy while playing fast passages. I knew the problem wasn’t with me since I could play those same passages perfectly on my acoustic piano.That isn’t the issue with my PX-S7000. It feels just like my acoustic. In fact, it feels better. Now it’s the other way around: there are songs I can play perfectly on it that I struggle with on my acoustic. I don’t know how they did it. The keys still have a short pivot length like the S1100, but they feel completely different.Perhaps it’s the integration of wood. The keys feel solid—not heavy, but solid. They’re not light and springy like the S1100. They are also much quieter. With the volume at medium level, I can’t hear the keys at all (by contrast, with the volume at full level on the S1100, I could still hear the keys—it drove me nuts!)I am at peace now. When I make a mistake or struggle with a song, I know it’s because of my skill level and not because the action is holding me back.TONESThe S1100 and S3100 have phenomenal tones. The default grand piano on each is excellent. But the S7000 is in another league. The 3 default grands are so beautiful. And there are dozens of other pianos and e-pianos and organs and hundreds of other instruments I’ll probably never use—but they all sound amazing. If nothing else, buy it just for those three grand pianos.SPEAKERSIn this price range, there are a lot of pianos with bigger and better speakers. But the four speakers are definitely an upgrade from previous Privia models. The sound is full and crisp and lovely. It’s as loud and full as my acoustic upright. It can’t compete, though, with a grand piano. But I have no complaints. For jamming at home or playing songs for my family, the speakers are fantastic. (There are times when I forget I am playing a digital piano—that never happened with my S1100.)STYLE AND BUILD QUALITYThe S7000 is gorgeous! It matches the furniture in our home and looks like it belongs there. I liked my red S1100, but it gave off a dorm-room vibe with the black metal stand and wires strewn about.The stand that the S7000 comes with is ridiculously stable. It doesn’t budge a millimeter when playing. The integrated pedals are also excellent. They are longer than the triple-pedal unit on my S1100, and I never have to worry about them sliding around. The “soft” pedal is also more responsive.CONCLUSIONThis piano does a bit of everything, and it does it well. The key action is phenomenal, the tones are gorgeous, the piano is stylish and solid and beautiful. There’s a lot more to it than what I have reviewed, such as MIDI controls and connectivity and customization. So be sure to read other reviews if those are your priorities. I simply wanted a beautiful piano that felt and sounded as good as an acoustic. Casio nailed it with the PX-S7000.

The mustard is just outstanding. The grey cover is a work of art too. Man I wish I could get one!!
