Hopefully not. I really enjoyed that theme music.

Thank you. This project was a lot of fun.

Thank you. Much appreciated. We'll need to get some more music out soon.

Hi. I don't have my Yamaha anymore and don't recall what the sustain pedal was that I used with it. It wasn't the one that originally shipped with it when it was new though. I took a quick look on the web at the manual and it mentioned an FC3 foot pedal as an optional replacement pedal. My guess is it shouldn't be too difficult to find something that would work with it.

I'm glad you found this helpful. I was frustrated when I was looking because I couldn't find a local shop that had my top 3 available so I couldn't do a side by side comparison. When the Kawai finally became available for me to try, I couldn't even remember what the other played or sounded like. I bought it because what I did remember is that the others didn't make me want to walk out of the store with them, and this one did. For me that was more than enough. Also, this does have recording capability. I've played with it a little bit, but I don't have much of a use for it because it isn't the primary method I use for recording in general.

A lot of work, but also a lot of fun.

Thanks for giving a listen.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm not sure I can give you a good answer. I gave mine away to a friend. They came out in 2003, so they are pretty old. I would try somewhere between $250 and $300 depending on the condition, and what it comes with. Does it include an expression pedal? Does it have the sheet music mount? Mine didn't, and I wish it did when I got mine used. Does it come with a stand, or will you have to buy one? Those are the things I would think about. I would also think about whether you could get something that is more current for the same money.

How are you liking the FP-60X. I have a FP-90 and sometimes I love the sound and sometimes it's just a bit off. It may be that I'm inexperienced

@@BUJU2007 I agree with you, sometimes I wonder why it sounds good and clear, sometimes sounds muffled. Maybe after pressing different presets the ambient and the Key Touch setting changed without I realized. The default Key Touch = 50 is too muffled and I like to change it to 17 to sound more like acoustic piano. The middle C also sounds weird (echo of poking something like pvc pipe :)). The pedal is a bit poking to bare feet, they should make it more round shape not rectangle. What I like is I can record in the whole play with midi format and I can replay through audio out for recording the final version. I like the Bluetooth audio & midi feature but the BT midi isn't quite reliable.

You had the same issue I ran into when I was first looking at the ES920. Nobody had them. I wasn't going to spend that kind of money without trying it out first. I'm glad I waited though.

Between the two in this video I prefer the Kawai to the Yamaha. For my preferences I find the action to have a better feel, and it is easier to play dynamically. It also has a more contemporary piano sample that sounds better to my ears. I have another video comparing the Kawai to my grand piano. When I initially got it, I felt like the experience between them was similar enough, although not exactly the same. Over time, I've come to the conclusion they are not as close as I thought, and I do prefer the grand piano over the Kawai. But the Kawai is great for playing live outside of my house.

In this video I am comparing a brand new Kawai to a really old Yamaha, so the Kawai easily wins for the action. I wasn't able to do a comparison to something newer, like the Yamaha 515. I did play a 515 last year, and the action was good on it, but I don't remember it feeling as good to me as the Kawai when I tried it before taking it home.

P515 has heavier keys, that's for sure. Which is best depends of your exceptations

I agree that an instrument can sound very different through the speakers compared to headphones or through a PA, or digital interface. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 600s, and I think the Kawai sounds fantastic through them. I also think it sounds real good through my interface. I actually had a hard time getting a good sound out of the Yamaha through my interface though. I couldn't get the EQ quite right and it always sounded like a toy. But it is a very old piano. I know a newer Yamaha would be better than my old one, but I am extremely happy with my Kawai.

Thanks for checking out the video. Hopefully you find more content you like.

I'll plan to work on that this weekend. I'll have to do something different though, as I'll be recording the piano with a pair of mics. Personally, I think the speaker sound of the ES920 is real good. It may depend on what you are used to. It is certainly better than the Yamaha P-60, but that unit is from 2003 I think. It sounds better in the room than it does in this video though because I captured the sound with my phone. When I upload next, I'll run both the ES920 and the Baldwin through my board and capture the audio from that. It should translate better.

I got a ES7 and can't say for the 920 but the sound of the speaker is FANTASTIC. Sure with high-quality headphones it's even better, but only marginally so

I have recorded with them. A few days ago. I uploaded the video, but I didn't make it public because I wasn't sure about my intro before I demo the sound. Here is the link though: ruclips.net/video/7DlBBstnSq8/видео.html

Given that I couldn't be in two places at once, I couldn't refine the sound very much during capture, but I was very happy with what I got under those circumstances. I think it will sound even better once I get somebody to assist.
