CASIO PRIVIA PX-S1000

Casio’s weighted actions are generally nicely balanced. This particular model has plenty for beginners and more experienced players, including 18 high-quality sounds onboard. It’s fairly light, has a scaled hammer action keyboard (acoustic pianos feel heavier at the low end and lighter at the top), split and layer functionality, two front-mounted headphone sockets, Bluetooth, metronome and 60 built-in practice exercises. $979, casio-intl.com/asia/en
