Hi everyone, and welcome to another digital piano review here at Merriam Pianos. Today, we’ll be doing a full review of the Casio PX-S3000.

The PX-S3000 was released in the fall of 2019, and as the big brother to the PX-S1000 boasts a long list of impressive features, especially considering the price point.

Piano Sound:

Casio’s using their proprietary AiR sound source here, with 192 note polyphony and 16 watts of speaker power. Just like on the PX-S1000, there’s 3 different sound modes with different effects that you can play all of the piano patches through, which essentially creates 3 different piano playing experiences. The character or complexity of the tones, notably the grand piano concert patch, is very impressive. The dynamic range feels a little bit compressed for my taste, which may turn off more experienced players, but shouldn’t matter too much to beginners or intermediate players.

There’s a robust 700 on-board sounds here, which is one of the main upgrades over the 1000. There’s a huge variety of E. piano tones and various organs, most of which sound great. The various string patches are solid as well, some of which layer really nicely with the piano tones. Overall, really impressive samples across the various patches, some of which are excellent and would be perfect for a performance setting.

Piano Action:

The action Casio uses in the PX-S3000 is the Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard, which is not the same action that you’ll see on some of the older Casio Privia models. Interestingly, the action does not have a triple sensor like the Privia PX160, but rather has devolved in a sense with a double sensor action instead, which will likely reduce some accuracy in the output of MIDI information. Considering this, it’s likely that Casio didn’t build this instrument with folks who have extensive acoustic piano playing experience in mind, but rather as more of a gateway product for folks just getting into piano for the first time, who also have an eye for aesthetics.

The texture on the white keys is a definite improvement over past models, and feels much closer to ivory. The weighting feels very good, and despite the downgrade to a double sensor, this is still a solid action and enjoyable to play.

Piano Features:

A built in feature I found myself really enjoying is the auto accompaniment and various on-board rhythms. Both features are easy to use, and the rhythms sound pretty up to date with what you’ll be hearing on recordings of modern pop music on the radio. I can say confidently that these are some of the highest quality rhythm tracks I’ve ever heard in a keyboard, especially for the price range.

There’s also a basic built in recorder that can be stored on-board or saved to USB. All of the basics are covered too with a metronome, transpose, layer and split, among others. We’ve also got a pitch bend wheel here, as well as assignable knobs. These are quite easy to program, and offer quick and easy access to many of the features.

The PX-S3000 comes as a standard slab unit with a single switch pedal, but you can add a matching stand and triple pedal unit as upgrades if you’d like.

Conclusions:

This gets a big two thumbs up from me. It’s a pretty significant upgrade over the PX-S1000 for only an extra $200 - definitely worth the upgrade. If you’re an experienced player I’d recommend spending some time with the instrument before buying to make sure you’re okay with the action, but for anyone else, this instrument does not have any significant downsides.
