Switching to the Kawai CN301 wasn't really a wise choice. I still highly appreciate the CLP 775 for its ability to express dynamic nuances when playing the piano. The CN301 does not perform as well as the CLP 775 in this regard, although the keys on the CN301 feel lighter, allowing me to play a bit faster. However, the speakers on the CLP 775 are clearly excellent across the entire range of sound, from low to mid to high frequencies.
@@TamTran.PianoAlone Thanks for your reply. I am thinking of buying a clp775, but I am afraid the keys are heavy. Do you recommend buying it? Or is there something better?
@@mazica_art2630 "I haven't tested the 875 yet because it's not available in Vietnam, but I have tried the 885. The keys feel quite light, probably because I'm used to the heavier keys on my Nu1X. In my opinion, if you prefer the feel of an upright piano, you should go for the 775. But if you're after the touch of a grand piano, you might want to try the 785 or 885. If I had to choose again, I’d swap my Kawai CN301 for the new 875. I’m pretty sure Yamaha has made the keys on the 875 lighter than the 775, but still managed to keep that upright feel (not as light as the 785 or 885). As for the speakers, there’s really no difference between the 775 and 785, and if you don't care much about the design, they’re pretty much the same. It's best if you go to a store and test both the 775 and 785 (or the 875 and 885 if they have the new models). Play a few slow and fast pieces to really feel the difference, and spend at least an hour with the piano to get a good sense of the keys. Then you can make your decision."
@@TamTran.PianoAlone I tried 775 and 875 for a sufficient amount of time. And I am waiting for 875 to be available. What made you switch from 775 to kawai? It may be the same problem as me, after using it for at least a year you may feel tired in your hand because of the heavy keys. This does not appear during the test in the store. Some people prefer lighter keys. You continue using it for a longer period and it is more enjoyable. Is this true?
@@mazica_art2630 I completely agree with you. The 775 keys felt amazing when I tried them in the store. However, when I got it home and started practicing, I realized the keys became heavier, and I couldn't move my fingers as flexibly. Another reason I switched to Kawai is that I already have two Yamaha pianos at home with the same CFX sound. I wanted a piano with a different sound, so I chose to switch from the 775 to Kawai. But it seems that wasn't the wisest decision, at least not until now. You've decided to go with the 875, and I think that's a good choice (even though I haven't tried it). Based on what I know about Yamaha's CLP series, the later models tend to have refreshed keys and reduce the heaviness compared to previous versions. For example, the 675 I tried had very heavy keys, and then the 775 was slightly lighter than the 675 (but still generally quite heavy).
I like your performance. Good job.
Yup, thank you very much !
Nice playing. What do you think of the clp775? Is it great or have you tried better ones?
