    Wow even cheaper than the previous deal.

    Does anyone know how to connect this to an iPad and are there any good interactive games or learning apps?

    • watts on 11/12/2020 - 12:48

      You need the Apple lighting to USB adapter (the one with lighting in too so you can charge at same time)
      Plus a standard USB A cable (maybe comes with keyboard)

      We’ve been using simply piano app. Happy enough with it that I paid for the full version.

      • dajackal on 11/12/2020 - 13:31

        oh so i can't use the USB-A to lightning cable that came with the ipad?

        thanks for suggesting simply piano. looks good! do i need to connect via cable to be able to use the app?

        • watts on 11/12/2020 - 13:59
          +2

          No.

          Sorry. I should have said USB A to B (Eg. printer usb).

          If the keyboard has usb A it’ll be for a flash drive. Usb B is for the ‘midi’ connection that the apps use to detect keystrokes. You don’t need the wired connection for simply piano if the iPad mic can hear the keyboard, But it’s better with it.

          I think you can buy lighting to usb-b cables, but it won’t charge ipad. That simply piano app sucks the juice on mine, and prevent ipad standby even when not playing.

      • derweep on 11/12/2020 - 13:26

        Pay using gift cards(10% off) and using the voucher for $250. So total was $1098 after discount voucher. But kicking myself now as I was about to come in today to get it!

        • dajackal on 11/12/2020 - 21:49

          how'd you get 10% off?

          • Ehx on 13/12/2020 - 01:50

            @dajackal: Buy them from people. A lot of people want to exchange their gift card for cash instead of buying items, in turn you get usually a 7.5-10% discount.

    • Innately Incognito on 11/12/2020 - 13:06

      I’d give it a crack as I know TGG have done this for me in the past.

      Alternatively, if your credit card has price protection it might be worth giving that a shot too.

    • jimboner on 11/12/2020 - 13:10

  • congo on 11/12/2020 - 12:48

    How much does a real average piano cost (not grand piano)?
    Is there a difference in tone or learning from a students perspective?

    • participant123xyz on 11/12/2020 - 13:06
      +7

      Unfortunately this is one of those how long is a piece of string questions.

      You could go on Gumtree/Facebook and get one for free if desired as families try to get rid of the pianos the kids learned on when they move out, but who knows the quality.

      As long as the keys are weighted correctly the feel is quite similar. A decent new upright (eg Kawai etc) would start from about $5k.

      I personally prefer the sound of an acoustic piano, much fuller sound BUT and it is a big but, they are obviously a pain to move around, I recently paid $400 to have it moved up a flight of stairs when I moved house. Just the other day, I had to get a hammer fixed as the shank snapped - another $200. So I do understand why most go the electric piano route. That being said, the sound of a decent acoustic piano will almost always be better than an electric's little speakers (in my humble opinion).

      Whether the cost and lack of convenience is worth it is purely subjective.

        With an electric, you can always plug in headphones and practice in the middle of the night. Hard to do with an acoustic. I'd say get an electric for practice, then once you're good enough, get a grand and put it an open living space for performing.

        If you're interested in recording, I've always found it much easier with an electric. You can easily get pretty good quality recordings with just a basic audio interface.

          Thanks that is a good point regarding the headphones.

      • jace88 on 11/12/2020 - 16:38

        We recently gave away our piano. The shipping/logistics costs would've easily been a few hundred if you don't have a suitable ute/truck and mates to help physically move it, then you probably will need to spend at least another chunk of change to get it retuned (chances are it hasn't been played in a while).

        But yeah, nothing beats a real (well tuned) piano. Sure it's not as convenient, but real pianos have an 'impact' which these electronic ones don't.

      • askvictor on 11/12/2020 - 22:14
        +1

        You can also plug an electric piano into an amp to get a bigger sound if the inbuilt speakers aren't enough.

    • Bellboy55 on 11/12/2020 - 13:10

      If you mean an upright, they can range from a couple of $1000, right up to $20,000. But normally you can get decent second hand ones for pretty cheap. You just want to make sure they've been tuned regularly, otherwise it's gonna cost you a ton to get it retuned.

      While there is a slight difference tonally (depending on the upright), Casio keyboards such as these are still great for learning.

    • HappyXD on 11/12/2020 - 16:10

      We bought a Roland F140 recently and its great. Taking into account the size, the sounds really nice. They have their own unique design for the hammer action as it is with most other digital piano brands so I'd recommend just going into a store and try them out (we went to piano warehouse).

  • Jayze on 11/12/2020 - 12:53

    This price is good, however if you are looking for entry level models I would suggest Kawai KDP110 and Roland RP102, both of them are much better than this Casio model.

    For piano learning apps I would suggest simply piano (84 aud a year when there is a sale, you can further lower down the cost by paying with 15%-20% off iTunes card) and flow keys, the latter has a lifetime subscription for 260 usd when there is a sale(320 normally)

        Yeah. I was going to say this.. comment caught my eye as the other two models mentioned seem to be $1500+

        So the question becomes whether they’re 50% better for an entry level piano.

    • dajackal on 11/12/2020 - 13:33

        IMO It is. This could last you quite some time in your learning journey
        This was my first digital piano, kept it for 4 years before moving on

    • Hsinking on 11/12/2020 - 13:43

      To answer the comments above, Casio has the worst key action among the entry models, I would suggest you try these models in a store before pulling the trigger. JB has ap260 for 788 previously and it has exactly the same key action with this px770 model, that one is a better deal than this if still exists.

      Roland and Kawai are both instruments manufacturer and instruments manufacturer only, Casio is not.

      • Craze on 11/12/2020 - 13:53

        I think JB hifi replaced stocking PX770 with the AP260. My circle of friends don't recommend Casio either, but for the price difference I'm willing to take a chance as I'm planning to play leisurely…

      • botchie on 11/12/2020 - 14:05

        you seem to know your stuff - what would you recommend for a 9 year old? hes pretty good at piano and all so I want to upgrade him to something like this from his current crappy keyboard?

          If you don’t mind spending 4K on a DP then you can search Kawai ca79, if your budget is around 1k then maybe Kawai es110 or Roland fp30, es120 is coming soon btw.

      • lowey71 on 11/12/2020 - 15:59

    • congo on 11/12/2020 - 13:57

      As for the AP-260, I think you are referring to: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/392832
      The rrp of this is much lower than the PX770. Would the PX770 be worth the extra $150?

      • Hsinking on 11/12/2020 - 14:13

    • OzFrugie on 11/12/2020 - 20:53

      Hi mate,

      You seem to be knowledgeable about piano.
      What do you think about Kawai ES110, Roland F30, Yamaha P125, the models you mentioned and this Casio? How do they differ and most suitable for a kid who just starting to learn?

      • Hsinking on 11/12/2020 - 21:07

        Kawai kdp 110, you can bargain down 10% of the asked price.

        If this is above your budget, I will say pick any one of them you like, the thing is this is choosing an instrument and you must visit a store to try before you place an order.

        Personally I will choose one between Roland and Kawai.

        • OzFrugie on 11/12/2020 - 21:13

          Before all this, i was considering kawai es110 as rrp 999 and on special for 800.
          Whats the difference between es110 and kdp110? Seems a quite price difference.Sorry i know nothing much about piano..

          Interesting you didnt mention yamaha at all. P125 seems to have a more grand sound from some youtube reviews vs kawai es110, but I was thinking es110 more because cheaper when its on sale..

          • Hsinking on 11/12/2020 - 21:19
            +1

            @OzFrugie: KDP 110 has more powerful speakers, Kawai’s signature sound SK-EX and a better key action RHC II.

            Es110’s key action is on par with the ones used on Yamaha’s more expensive YDP range.

            Please do the rest of your homework yourself.

      • flame21 on 12/12/2020 - 10:51

        Kawai's "key actions" are more like a real piano than Casio at a similar price. The better key actions, they easier you can play a real piano in the future.

        And it's even better than Yamaha in the same price range - Yamaha is very tight a** to apply key actions technology into lower price E Pianos. And for some reason, in Australia, Yamaha's prices tend to be higher. Of course, if you buy the top range of Yamaha's e pianos, they are as good as Kawai's.

        I'm thinking about Kawai KDP110 but its price will never go down too much, always around $15xx :/

        if they lower down the KDP110 price, i.e. $400 off like this deal, I will buy one straight away!

  • DingoBlue on 11/12/2020 - 13:23

    Hmm. You can get a Roland or Kawai for this price.

    Casio has improved a lot from the 1980s but still leans toward the toy market than a professional instrument.

    Check out this guy "ThePianoforever" on Youtube. He reviews almost all decent digital and analog pianos. You will probably go down a youtube binge hole and watch every video like i did. Anyway the piano action is probably one of the most important components in digital pianos if you want to have a proper go. And like with all music instruments, buy the most expensive range you can afford. Roland, Kawai, Yamaha have amazing instruments with sounds sampled from the worlds best painos.

        Bench was even in a seperate box labelled pbbk and I didn't realise until I opened it, that it was a bench. I was looking up benches last night trying to find one to suit so I was pleasantly suprised. Wondering if I got lucky or of others got a bench too.

          I was told that it comes in 1 big box. Did you receive 2 boxes?

          • AndyRoo on 11/12/2020 - 20:21

            @Jayze: Yep. 1 big box for the piano and the little pbbk box. Didn't have box 2 of 2 on it or anything as if it was a completely seperate item. Either way they gave me bit and the small box is a bench.

              @AndyRoo: Well done for scoring the bench, think you can get it for about $150 so it's a steal if you had it with the DP!

            @Jayze: Google Casio pbbk and you can see the bench I got with it.

      Just picked up mine and its 1 box only, so not lucky to get the bench. Anyway I am happy with the price i paid around $850 after discounted gift cards.

    Have this piano and can vouch for it. Good compact size and decent enough if you are a beginning to learn, or even mid-tier.

    It seem like the coupon code doesn’t work anymore. I tried it this morning but it showed as expired, despite it should be valid from 30 Nov to 12 Dec.

    • Craze on 12/12/2020 - 11:57

      My coupon was valid till yesterday only?

    Same here. I tried the code but it doesn't work even though it says expires on 12th. Is there a way around it? I just bought $300 worth of JB gift cards :/

    • gambino on 12/12/2020 - 21:39

      unfortunately the coupon stated it was valid till Friday 11/12.

      • avicenn4 on 13/12/2020 - 03:45

        I asked yesterday but no-one responded.

  • Assclown on 21/12/2020 - 14:19

    Coupon expired
