DALLAS—The Dallas Songwriters Assoc. today announced a new partnership with Casio America Inc., that delivers a Casio PX-350 Privia piano, with an MSRP of $1,099, to the grand prizewinner of the 23rd Dallas Songwriters Annual Song Contest.
Casio calls the PX-350 "a grand revolution" with new keyboard action and a powerful new sound engine. It has more than three times the memory, giving it a more natural piano tone. A proprietary sound source, "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator), provides unmatched realism and detail. The redesigned 88-note Tri-sensor scaled hammer action keyboard features simulated ebony and ivory textured keys for an incredible feel.
The PX-350 has 180 drum patterns with full auto accompaniment and a 17-track recorder for composing your own songs. Ready for the stage or studio, the PX-350 has ¼" audio outputs so you can easily connect the PX-350 to recording and sound reinforcement equipment.
