Casio PX310
Designed with the gigging/studio musician in mind!The Privia is the revolutionary digital piano that makes it possible for just about anyone to experience the joys of playing the piano. Improved sound  quality and  touch compared to the PX300 Stylish, compact, and priced for affordability, the Privia provides authentic piano sound and feel in your room or just about anywhere else. The PX 310 also includes a Bass Reflex System which will allow you to reproduce low frequency sounds as well as a dedicated tweeter to produce the diverse range of added tones and accompaniments. Power Supply and Sustain Pedal Included!

A Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI sound source includes seperate waveforms for strong key pressure, medium key pressure and light key pressure, which accentuates the differences between the sounds produced by each. Multiple stereo-samples are also taken of tones produced by an acoustic grand, from the low range to the high range. Notes remain natural sounding and realistic from the moment a key is pressed until the note decays, providing you with sound quality that is virtually identical to that of an acoustic grand piano. 64-note polyphony helps to ensure you never lose notes due to damper pedial operation. In addition to grand piano tones, the Privia also includes strings, pipe organ, and other tones. A Layer feature allows simultaneous play of two tones, and a Split feature lets you split the keyboard between two different tones.

I needed a piano sounding keyboard for our band - I played various keyboards and found this one to my liking (in my price range). So far the guys in my band have given their thumbs up as to the tone sound of this keyboard. The weighted keys feel better on this keyboard than on more expensive keyboards. So far so good!
