Behringer Piano at Costco, anyone know anything about it?

[Twingle]

We've been planning on getting a digital piano for awhile, and when I was at Costco today that had a Behringer digital piano with bench for $499.99.

Didn't know if anyone knew anything about this piano or brand?

Any information would be appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I can't remember if this is the one I tried or not. I think it is. The had the Casio and one other so I'd assume it's the same one at all Costco stores. I actually preferred the Casio for several reasons. First, I think it had a little better tone and second, it has weighted keys. If the Behringer is the one I'm thinking of, it didn't have the weighted keys. If you play them both as softly as you can, the Casio will let you play almost silently, but the other one has pretty much the same volume if you play it with a soft touch. The both increase in volume if you play with a harder touch, but it's really nice to be able to play softly also. More natural feel and sound.

I can't speak to the Behringer, but I've been doing lots of research lately on digital pianos (dd7 needs a fullsize keyboard in a couple months for her lessons). I've decided on the Casio Privia PX320--which runs about $699. There is a model one step down from that one that is the PX120. It is around $499, which may be the one the other poster mentioned. The main difference between the 120 and 320 is the 320 has a 1/4" line out to hook out to an amplifier or something else without using adapters. Also, the 320 has some extra features (extra rhythmns, etc). Both however have 128 note polyphony and both have great reviews. Pianoworld.com forums have lots of information on these latest casios.

Both of you, thanks so much for the replies! I'm off to research more, and to check out pianoworld.com.

Thanks again!

Actually, the Casio that I liked was around $699 or $799 at Costco so I'm guessing that was the one. I really liked it! I was nervous that it was a casio (that just conjures up images of cheap products) but it really did have the best feel and sound. I'm glad you posted on this as I've been debating for awhile now!
