It's just to start off with and hopefully keep me through until I purchase an up right or grand piano.

Its compact so its definitely fitting my space requirement and it also has weighted keys so it fits the correct feeling of a piano.

Please point out any flaws you think this might have or recommend another piano I should look into.

Casio PX-130 is generally considered a good DP (digital piano) for it's price. But beware, I've read that the keys of most Casio DPs are of poor quality, start loosening up and making rebound noise after about 6 months of playing.

Regarding sound, I usually like the piano sound of Yamahas better. There are a few discussions about the PX130 on Pianoworld.com:

http://www.google.is/search?as_q=PX130&hl=is&num=100&btnG=Google+leit&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&cr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pianoworld.com%2F&as_rights=

Have you seen or heard the Yamaha DGX-630? It has less polyphony (notes you can play simultaneously) 64 compared to the PX-130's 128, key action not as heavily weighted, but you have more sounds and the learning pack.

The keys of my casio are terrible quality!!! It wasnt even 6 months before a B key started feeling loose. Then 2 months later the same happoned with the B key one octave down! Also, sometimes the keys will just sort of, cancel a note, sounds horrible. Avoid :p Wish I had Smile
