FrankFincher Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi! I'm planning on buying a Casio PX350, but the other day I ran into the Broadway BA1 on a site and it was rated highly, at least higher than the PX350. As far as I know, both pianos have very similar features. Unfortunately I can't find any other reviews on it. Does anyone have any experience with the Broadway BA1?

Synthoid Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Can't say I've ever heard of that one. I'd stick with the Casio. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBluesKeys Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Welcome to the forum Frank. Broadway appears to be a British company, probably not distributed in the US. There are some Brits on the forum, maybe one will comment. Casio Privia line has built a good reputation over the years here (I don't own either, and never played either). Comments: It seems that the two are for somewhat different markets. The Broadway B1 is in a traditional piano cabinet for home use and has internal amplification and speakers, and the Casio model is a "slab" piano designed to be placed on a stand and used with external amplification. This would be better for any portable or moving around use. When comparing prices, you also need to figure that you are going to need some form of stand and some type of audio amplification for the Casio (powered PA speakers are a favorite here, by such companies as Electro Voice, QSC, Yamaha, etc.) Howard Grand|Hamm SK1-73|Kurz PC2|PC2X|PC3|PC3X|PC361; QSC K10's HP DAW|Epi Les Paul & LP 5-str bass|iPad mini2 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Threadslayer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 ...the Casio model is a "slab" piano designed to be placed on a stand and used with external amplification. Actually, the PX-350 does have internal amplification and speakers. I have one in my office and am happy with it. Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankFincher Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'll probably go with the Casio then. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think you're very wise. The Broadway BA1 may be being sold through a UK-based retailer but I would be surprised if its origins were anything other than somewhere in China.
