Today, we’ll be comparing two of the most popular mid-range home digital pianos with the Kawai KDP-120 and Casio PX-870. The KDP-120 is the brand new update to the hugely popular KDP-110, while the PX-870 is the top model of Casio’s famed Privia line of home digital pianos. These are both great pianos that compare extremely well, so we’re excited to compare them for you here.

Background These two pianos line up across a multitude of specs points so well, it’s harder to identify a better race between any instruments in this category. Both offer class-leading speaker outputs, class-leading tone generators, triple sensor actions, attractive cabinets, and are priced very closely. Now let’s dive a little deeper into each piano. Sound Engine The KDP-120 is using Kawai’s Harmonic Imaging (HI) sound engine, which is an 88-key individually sampled sound engine built off of their SK-EX concert grand. It features 192 notes of polyphony, and 13 sound-related parameters like damper resonance and voicing (all of which can be edited via the Virtual Technician feature.) There are 15 onboard tones, which consist of a nice mix of acoustic pianos, electric pianos, harpsichord, and more. The dual speaker system is driven by 40 watts of speaker power. The default SK-EX grand piano is warm and filled with layers of harmonic complexity, especially in the mid-range and lower mid-range. There’s no discernable sample step, which is a huge plus, and an issue that plagues even the top modeling-based engines. The PX-870 uses Casio’s AiR Sound Source, and is also a sampled tone engine, recorded at 4 velocity layers. They don’t disclose which piano they sampled for the engine, but we suspect it to be a New York Steinway Model D. The polyphony is even beefier here at 256 notes, and this engine is also incorporating parameters like damper resonance and string resonance. The PX-870 has 19 onboard tones, and also boasts 40 watts of speaker power driving 4 speakers. The tenor range on the PX-870 is especially rich, whereas the top and bottom are a little bit overactive with some of the resonance. Interestingly, it seems as though each instrument stretches the tuning a little bit differently, which is likely the result of how the sampled acoustic piano was tuned on the day it was recorded. Piano Action Both pianos use actions with triple sensor detection, and neither uses escapement. That said, these actions actually feel and behave differently. One big difference has to do with the key stick length; the KDP-120’s RHCII action uses a longer key stick, which definitely makes it feel different from the PX-870’s Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II, with the PX-870 feeling slightly heavier. For modern or contemporary music, we tend to prefer the PX-870’s action, whereas, for finesse playing where maximum control is needed, we think the 120 is a little bit better. The key texture on the 870’s action is a little bit more exaggerated, whereas the 120s is a microtexture. Both sets of keytops feel great on the fingers. Ultimately, both are satisfying actions that compare quite well. Other Features Let’s discuss the speakers. Both instruments have rated power outputs of 40 watts, but while the 120 uses a dual speaker setup, the 870 is using 4 speakers. What are the differences? The 870 a more prominent treble, and extra clarity. The 120 is not as clear or defined but feels warmer and deeper in the mid and bass registers. In terms of finish options, both instruments are available in Black and White, while the KDP-120 is also available in Rosewood. Summary To sum it up, both of these instruments sit right at the top of the category and compete very well against one another. Both have a great sound engine, action, speakers, and feature set. We would strongly recommend either of these pianos over an old, beat-up acoustic piano. Thanks for watching!
