Thanks for your kind comment, my pleasure...

Merci mon ami!

It's either the Nefertiti or the close ideal Mk1. I boost the low and mid frequencies with the eq. One of the two but I don't remember now, sorry. Thanks for your comment :)

I guess it’s the Nefertiti 👍

@@1970piano I think you're right. It sounds alright for a 2011 keyboard, eh?

@@alpao74Yes, absolutely. I still have the Nord Stage 2 too…

Hi! It isn’t.

How is it going ? 🙂

@@W-HealthPianoExercises what a great instrument. Enjoy playing it everyday. Music is gift from God

Absolutely woukd make a huge difference to you. Kronos is the gift that keeps on giving. I’ve had one since 2012, and it’s still showing me new and useful things about it. Incredible sound too for the discerning ears of an engineer.

@@evolution227 how is the boot time and dealing with that couldn’t you just put in a newer solid state drive to make it faster?

@@Justin_collier No it’s about 1:45 or more depending upon what you designate it to autoload. The second ssd drive is to stream from, and provide more storage for exoo pi and ions, custom sounds or whatever files are relevant . You get used to it, and honestlly, the Kronos will have you so wrapped up in what it’s rREALLY capable of that you won’t be mucbothered by that much.

No it isn't. Except for the escapement which the GP-series does not have, the experience of playing these Casio Hybrids is 95% the touch of a grand piano. What people may not realize is that CASIO has done something quite remarkable with these pianos by using the SAME keyboard as you would get if you bought an actual Bechstein Grand Piano. Same wood, same covering of the keys, same length etc which to me makes the GP the very best in hybrid piano touch you can possibly get. Soundwise its not 100 % like a grand (I mean how could it be, right?) but what matters the most is the feel of the keys and here CASIO has reached perfection and a level far above what Kawai or Yamaha has ever done.

@@cookingconfessions @cookingconfessions hello, thanks for your reply. I'm currently playing regularly a casio GP310 in a library. I like it very much. Though the sound without headphone isn't very nice. But it's not correct partially what you're stating. It's not a real hybrid. Real Digital hybrid pianos have the same mechanic of an acoustic as the Yamaha avantgrand for example. And the 510 has not the same acoustic mechanic. This is not my opinion. You can verify it seeing the model of a piece of the mechanic of the Casio GP and any other real hybrid digital piano. The hybrid part is because of the real (but not wooden) hammers that they follow the same path motion of an acoustic grand piano, and the same Austrian spruce of the keys as the Bechstein, and very long keys (not as long as the grand piano. The gp is around 16cm, a grand is around 20-22cm). That said, the GP510 is still very nice action. For example I played and compared it the kawai novus 10, which is indeed a real hybrid digital piano, but although has a quite nice sound, the action didn't convince me, it's still spongy, and too light. And not very firm for that price. About the GP510, I'm not very confident that if you prepare an advanced classical music graduate diploma exam on it, without practising on acoustic grand p., you won't have any problems to perform it on the acoustic grand pianos at the recital diploma exam. Before you replied I wrote to the Casio, the Italian and the UK customer service. They all replied me that in order to be prepared you need to complement the practice on the acoustic pianos too. For example one of my concern is: yes I know it doesn't have any simulation of escarpment, and that's not bad. But it has a faster speed repetition than acoustic grand pianos. And I don't know if this might make it easier to play advanced classical music diploma répertoire on the Casio GP and more difficult to perform it on the acoustic grand pianos. I had full access to practice rooms with the best acoustic upright, baby and full magnificent acoustic grand pianos at the college). Now I wish to take an external advanced classical music diploma recital exam of only performance, not easy to pass. But I don't have access any longer to the practice rooms. And I'm upset because for neighbours, space and budget, I can't afford any acoustic of more expensive than the gp digital pianos. And the doubts didn't me allow to buy the GP510 yet. I could afford only few hours of practice to studios with good acoustic grand pianos. And if it's required many hours of that practice it's a problem. Also when practicing at the library on the GP310, I'm using the heaviest touch response, set at heavy 2, as was told that even that is lighter than most acoustic concert grand pianos. I don't know what to think and do 😔 Apologise for my long comment

When you choose a digital instrument you compromise - Plain and simple! There is no two ways about it. No digital piano in the world can 100% replicate the sound of a real acoustic grand. The feeling how ever can come pretty damm close. I have played on many grand pianos and also a few Steinway concert grand's and to me at least CASIO has done such an impressive job with the GPs. A partnership with Bechstein to me says it all. I only have the CASIO GP300 in my house and it has several flaws and weird quirks that I kind of wish CASIO had solved before pushing this product to market. I even understand from the reviews that the issue still persists in the 310 version where you still have the same hard to read and comically black and white poor pixel display. Hard to read labeling on the button pad and no way to hide buttons or nobs. The 510 can store sound settings, whereas the 310 can't which is a disgrace on Casio's part not to offer this on the all models. Compared to this Kawai has a full color touch screen on their CA series and Roland has best in class when it comes to elegantly hiding of the digital functionality. If you want a heavy touch, try the Yamaha CLP 785. I found this unbelievably heavy but the sound without and especially WITH headphones on Yamaha is next level. Its so impressive you can forget you are wearing them. Also keep in mind if you go for a true hybrid, those things requires maintenance at the same level as an acoustic instrument and which moment a silent piano would like the Yamaha U3 would be a better buy in my opinion. BUT all that being said I there is something magical about the GPs. They sound great both with and without headphones (Not as good as Yamaha, but still) You can tweak the sound. Adding opera hall, upping string resonance etc. But the touch and feel is so amazing to me and nearly (or just as good) as the true hybrids at 1/3 of the cost and far better than equally priced Kawai or Yamaha or Rolands.The missing escapement allows for even quicker repetition of notes, but for that to be even remotely relevant, you would be among the worlds best and most advanced pianists who would find themselves able to repeat notes quicker than a concert grand allows. When need a new piano at one moment I will get the GP510 or its updated version when that comes, but that is merely based on that I want the last bit of sound optimization and ability to store my setting plus it has a few more cool voices, but it also comes at a hefty premium over the 310. Good luck choosing your piano and your musical endevours. @@verymozart

@@cookingconfessions I wrote it in my comment, it's all about how much it impacts the performance of advanced classical music on acoustic grand pianos at the exam if studied on the GP510 only. It's not about if I want an heavy touch or not, it's about to find out which digital within my budget has the most suitable action touch for my needs of advanced exam. How much complemented practice on acoustic grand is required? I don't care too much about the sound, (that without the headphone is not very nice the one of the gp 510/310). I care about the action, the touch. In order not to have problems when playing the repertoire of the exam on the acoustic grand at the exam. Also, I wrote my concern, being the speed repetition faster than acoustic grand pianos, if that makes it easier to play it on the gp 510 and harder on the acoustic grand. You stated on your first comment that it doesn't. But I'm not sure about it. I wrote I can't afford real hybrid not more expensive digital. And that's why I'm upset. The clp 785 is not so heavier than the gp, it's more expensive. I played it, I didn't like it very much, it doesn't have hammers also. The heavier of the clp is 775, but I don't like it very much either. I don't know. As I said maybe there's not within my budget a suitable digital for my needs of the exam. Or maybe the solution is the CASIO GP510 in case it doesn't require a too long time of complemented practice on the acoustic. Because I could afford few hours for the studios, but not too many hours.. I don't know. For sure in my search I don't know anyone who prepared and passed that exam on the Casio GP 510 only

Yamaha, Roaland. You name it. They all sound terrible. If you care about it, use a VST.
