Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as weel as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment wether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The Casio PX-870 is the flagship model in Casio's Privia range of digital pianos. As with all of the Privia models, the PX870 is a compact digital piano designed for those with limited space or as an instrument that would work well in a child's bedroom.

Thanks to the award-winning AiR Sound Source, the PX-870 delivers a stunning grand piano sound. The new four-layer stereo grand piano tone comes alive with realistic damper resonance, simulating the entire body of the instrument, not just the strings. In addition to this there are key action sounds, key off simulation, adjustable hammer response, and a lid simulator with four positions.

You can further enhance the sound with the Hall Simulator. This process recreates the ambience and character of four famous concert halls, allowing you to listen to your performances in these unique environments.

It may be slim and compact, but the PX-870 produces a wonderful rich piano sound thanks to the new Sound Projection speaker system. The speaker system (a 2-way, 4 speaker design) faces both forward and back providing a similar sound character to that of a traditional upright piano.

The keybed is Casio's Weighted Tri-Sensor II Scaled Hammer Action keyboard, designed to deliver the real feel of an acoustic piano. In addition, the keys have been given an ebony/ivory feel, making for more premium and refined touch.

You can also connect the PX-870 to your smartphone or tablet (a USB cable or the Apple camera connection kit is required) with the Chordana Play Piano app (for iOS and Android). This app will allow you to select different sounds, record your performances and even read musical scores in PDF format.

Other appointments include Headphone mode, which delivers a realistic sound for those quiet practice moments, whilst Concert Play, delivers real orchestral recordings of favourite pieces which you can play along to with the included score.

As a home piano, the Casio PX-870 really excels, delivering a rich and rewarding playing experience in a compact and slim design. Additional extras will also make the learning process even more enjoyable.
