Are the high keys, all the way to the right, are they supposed to be heavily quiet? Compared to the bass side. The bass seems so much louder. Is that a keyboard problem or how the piano just is???
@Jiu jeatsu Casio, 88-Key Digital Piano CDP-S150
Hello Jeremy See. Have you tried kawai digital pianos??
The amazon link goes to Roland...
3:37 could you tell me what song this is please?
We can never thank you enough for your work.
This is gold for low-budget beginners dreaming about becoming rockstars :)
I just got a yamaha p-45. Its pretty solid. Its nice looking, weighted, 88 keys and its simple to use. Feels pretty good so far.
how much does it cost ?
Fuller, go easy on the Pepsi.
Is it battery or wall plug-in?
My opinion, the p45 is not worth the price point. Korg B2 is a much better option, there's also a Roland around the same price point that is really good, but the p45 is not one I would go for.
I think casio makes better electric piano than yamaha
Definitely a great Christmas gift for the beginners out there, the future of our music world!
And as always, Jeremy's videos never disappoint!
❤️
This video is over a year old and I am kind of late to comment but thank you for this review. It seems like an ideal candidate for my shopping list looking for my first digital piano. Enough realism and feel if I ever decide to transfer over to a traditional piano and not too many features to overpay for and distract me as a beginner.
Where do u buy them? I cannot find it anywhere!
@@taim12321I found it on Amazon and am looking up reviews now
Loved the howl's moving castle theme piano cover
Same
Same, i wasn't expecting it!
I guess the most important point of the gram weight experiment is to ensure that that weights on the black and white keys are the same. In my opinion this is a basic requirement that applies to any velocity sensitive keyboard actions, including the semi-weighted ones. Any keyboard that fails to meet this requirement is a fundamentally flawed product.
it's a very important thing I think . If the keys are not the same weight you also learn to play wrongly .It actually messes up your technique from the start .
Young Geng: You have a point, but it's not quite that simple either. And actually, I think you're mainly referring to other Casio products, which have been the subject of hot online debate in recent times.
Where you place the weight matters. On keyboards with full length sticks, the key response is fairly even across the the whole exposed part of each stick, and so the testing weight is simply placed on the front end. Perhaps that's not an ideal test for any piano keyboard, but it's always been done that way I believe.
But on the newer, shorter keysticks this is not an appropriate test. Where do you struggle the most to play short black keys? It's the centre or back of the exposed part of the stick, with your long third and fourth fingers - fingers which are typically less agile too. Sadly, that's where the toughest resistence is on a typical slimline action and some customers like myself have been discouraged from purchasing the most slimline pianos because of this issue. Slimline pianos can never deliver the best actions (not so long as the keys pivot) so it makes sense to measure and adjust the resistence at that most awkward point I just mentioned. It seems that recently, Casio took a bold step and measured/adjusted the resistance (on certain models) from the point I have mentioned. Whether Casio got it right, I don't know, but it's an issue of clever prioritising that a certain young reviewer totally failed to appreciate. That's why we've had all this heated debate on RUclips.
A far more important issue is whether the keys are weighted at all. For many students, a sprung action is just not good enough. If Jeremy says that a sprung action is OK or better for some young fingers, then I daresay he's right, since he teaches much more than I do, but we know that there are many students who need better actions. On that subject, we should remember that there are still a lot of dreadful cheap/free uprights around with feeble sound and terrible actions. They have been overtaken by digital technology delivering instruments with better sound and action at less than a third of the original upright piano price. Few of those uprights are built now, thank heavens. Upright manufacturers are now focusing on the higher end, and selling plenty too, I'm glad to say.
@@Zoco101 Thanks for the informative replay. While I agree with you that any short pivot action is essentially a compromise, I still believe that the more reasonable design is to ensure the weight to be the same at the front part of the white and black keys. When I play the black keys, I usually try to press on the front part when possible, so I use the back part of the black keys way less often. Hence I believe it is better to calibrate the weight for the normal case rather than the unusual case. As for difficulty of pressing the keys, the actions of these digital pianos are already much lighter than those on acoustic ones, so I never find them hard to press.
As for weighted vs semi-weighted keys, I think it is not necessarily true that one is better than another. From my limited experience in playing keyboard, weighted actions provide better velocity control so it is better suited for sounds that require precise dynamics control like piano. Semi-weighted keys make it easy to play fast so it is best for sounds like synth lead.
Jeremy see
@@Zoco101 But it still is something that should be properly addressed in a video about a keyboard, shouldn't it? In my opinion the slimline action is flawed if it means that the downweights differ massively on the same key, depending on where you push it. After all, you would have to readjust how much you push down every time you play a key in a different place.
This is an excellent digital piano with all the features, design, quality, and affordable, exactly what you stated for those you mentioned. Casio & Yamaha make great, affordable keyboards with different features for various needs.
And all the other keyboards linked in your video description are also great for their various intended uses.
If I needed a main keyboard, with 88 keys and such, and was on a budget, this would be great. But I am not a beginning or formally trained piano student, and don't have much room for it, don't need the weighted action at this time, but could use the range of at least a 76 key keyboard.
But, my Roland Go:Keys serves the purpose of what I wanted and needed it for, the the Casio CT-S1 I plan to get soon fits my other needs and wants at this time.
I can always use the church Casio CDP-S350 at church during off times if I need it. Casio has a nice slim profikle design for most of their keyboards, and this one has the options clearly printed on it to negate the need for an LCD display others could really use.
This digital piano is great to have the real USB interface connector, instead of the standard USB-A or worse, micro USB connector interface.
The Roland RD 88 is almost as slim in design, albeit over twice the price, but it has all the features anyone could want.
Just the mere fact that there are so many choices available to cater to our specific needs, desires, and budget is great.
I'm still amazed at what they can do for the price compared to what has been available the last 40 years.
From the $100 Yamaha PSS-A50, the Reface CP, YC, DX & CS, Casio CT-S1, My Roland Go:Keys and JD-Xi, the RD 88 and V Combo VR-09B and all the others. Especially the 61 to 88 key versions to cover the main acoustic piano, electric piano and other popular voices and features at affordable prices and levels for difference needs.
I applaud all those responsible for conceiving, designing, creating and manufacturing all of these instruments.
I stated long ago how advancement of portable electronic keyboard impacted our music subculture to facilitate learning enjoy playing and all the technical advancements and advantages over solely heavy, traditional accoustic instruments.
Not if only we could absorb and be infused with divine musical giftings.
But I guess that's why God created great music and piano teachers.
Great insight! Loving your inputs.
Great review. Just what I was looking for. Excellent demo. Awesome editing and no jibber jabber or RUclips jokiness. Subbed!
Piano, Pipe Organ and Harpsicords tones still are ahead in authenticity compared to Yamaha's Piagerro, for example, not mentioning fully weighted keyboard pianos. I would buy Casio long time ago if I did not hear how Yamaha's pianos, organs and harpsicords sound - full, realistic, authentic, causing goose bumps with every key pressed.
You cannot hook me to your video by playing this song at the beginning! This is illegal!
Great video.
As people become more experienced in there playing it might be appropriate to include Stage Piano reviews like the Casio PX-5S Privia PRO Digital Stage Piano. Runs on batteries hex layers of 256 polyphony. Around 1000.00.
Solid advice from a very knowledgeable, experienced musician and teacher. Thanks Jeremy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got mine last week. I am in love!
I played this at guitar center and I loved the default piano sound more so than the DGX670. Batteries and 88 keys I am going to buy one for my second apartment.
2:14 I could feel myself ascending
Guys, I have to be honest. I don't want to ruin anyone's opinion, but as a Casio digital piano owner, it worths definitely the price. Trust me. I owned a Yamaha PSR-E363 and its sound was way more beautiful instead of my Casio CDP-230R that I own right now. It's only 1-2-3 hundred more pounds which might sound a lot in the beginning, but sometimes I just don't want to play the piano because its poor and plasticy sound... I play the piano and I also play on synth, my Casio can't handle both of them at a "friendly" price.
hello jeremy....what are the differences this cpd-s160 and cpd-s150?
Thanks for uploading this video. I just bought this one last week and have been searching for videos of this model all over but could only find ones for the 100 & 150 series.
Hi Jeremy I`m an avid follower of your channel and piano enthusiast. I had a question. If Casio developed it`s Privia PX-S1100 that appears to be superior to the CDP-160, why hasn`t it replaced it? Is it because the CDP-160 is geared towards a more budget friendly market? I currently own a Yamaha P-45 and at come point will like to upgrade to a Casio. Cheers and please keep making more awesome review videos!
I was really happy to see you playing Howl's Moving Castle!
I enjoyed it also :)
Just bought this on black friday for 350$ pretty solid keyboard but the only bad thing I found about it is that the headphone output is very noisy. My sensitive headphones pickup a lot of hiss.
Might want to check if that's a manufacturing error. They may fix that for you.
Hey jeremy thank you so much for the reviews and honest opinion.
got the cts1 and it is really one of the best synth action keyboard i've tried at this price level.
One recommendation for your videos , your gate release is too sharp and your audio is getting really cuty , you can turn the release a bit higher for more natural sound
Thanks for yet another great keyboard review! Did you ever get around to making any tutorial videos for the Medeli AKX10, which I have recently purchased? I struggle to find tutorials in English for this keyboard, which I think has great features and potential.
Beginner question. Best one to begin with: Casio CDP-S160 or Roland FP10? My uncle has both and offered me one. He says Casio is "easier" to begin but Roland is better overall. He mentions the weight of the keys. I can't tell. Is the weight of Casio's key so soft I would prefer it over the Roland? The specs of Roland are amazing. I wish I could keep them both. Haha
which one did you choose ??
I see CDP-S150 models everywhere, but not the CDP S-160. Is there a difference between these models? Is it a regional difference?
I've the same question.
I sent a email to Casio, here's what they said about the differences. 1. Piano sound improvement. The CDP-S160 has a more natural and expressive piano tone than the S150
2. Compatibility with the CD-470P stand- This matching wooden stand is similar to the currently available CS-46, but it also includes a crossbar with three pedals fixed in place as they would be on a traditional acoustic grand. This gives it greater appeal to classical and jazz players who need that pedal functionality and would like the immediate familiarity of the pedals right where they expect them.
Haha, I like the reference to that guy who whipped out the gram weights. I thought that was a little over the top too! Nice review.
😉
Thanks! Bought the casio px-s1000! Nice review!
Great choice. Have fun!
u didnt mention the brand and model of this keyboard the whole review..?
Pretty sure its the Casio CDP-S150.
It's the NEW CDP-S160
The CDP-S160 isn't available in the USA/EU/AU yet. Title & description will update when it's launched in the west.
Hi amazing video, you kept it simple and short but you still managed to have everything I needed to know in the video. Just one quick question, when u say it comes with 88-full size hammer action keys, does this mean u can play different dynamics (pianississimo, pianissimo, piano, mp, mf, f, ff, fff)?
how does this compare to the p45 for beginners? Which would you recommend
playing howls moving castle theme (i think) in the begining is all it takes to get me interested.
Hi Jeremy 😄 may I know where to buy the three pedals that you showed in this video? I have a keyboard my sustain pedal keeps on sliding. I also want to practice having the three pedals just like acoustic piano though I only have digital. Hope for your response 😄
Great information... Just subbed... Would explore your channel in great detail
What are the differences between CDP S150 and CDP S160?
I was waiting for the part where you say what piano this is but I couldn’t find it? I might just be being dumb, what was the model?
Casio CDP-S160. It will be available soon.
Why does the amazon link go to a CDP s150? Also, what is the difference between the 150 and the 160? I can't seem to find this version for sale anywhere?
I emailed Casio and they said the main differences are... 1. Piano sound improvement. The CDP-S160 has a more natural and expressive piano tone than the S150
2. Compatibility with the CD-470P stand- This matching wooden stand is similar to the currently available CS-46, but it also includes a crossbar with three pedals fixed in place as they would be on a traditional acoustic grand.

Can someone please tell me what’s the song he plays in the beginning of the video?
merry go round of life from Howl's Moving Castle
:) classic banger
The perfect piano is either hybrid or acoustic. Even expensive models can't keep up with more demanding music for so many reasons... I think digital is ok for the first one or two years, but then you gotta get yourself the real action keys.
Thanks for the video Jeremy!
0:00 Yo wich song youre playing? It sounds so nice bit its diffrent to the "classical" Merry go round sound...
Which have a better key action? P45 or CDP-S160? Also Jeremy, I think it would be a good idea to make a video comparing digital pianos
Hi is this much of an upgrade from the cdp s150?. The specs look exactly the same.
I got a rockjam 88 key down from 260 to 130 and it is vey good so far
I am a pretty new player and owned a very old yamaha keyboard that broke. Then I got a Yamaha E463 after watching your videos! I always play with "fixed" touch sensitivity because on both my keyboards, regardless of whether I use soft, medium or hard sensitivity, I produce almost no sound at all unless I press down super hard. Is there some setting I missed or am I really just doing it wrong?
Thanks for the review, which external amplifier is recommended for this keyboard ?
Hi, Jeremy. Would you recommend this over the Roland FP-10? If so, why? Thanks. :)
Hi Jeremy, have you tried the Clifton 88 key digital piano? I am thinking of buying one, Great video on this 88 key keyboard :)
I love your videos quality
I really enjoy your videos
I like it. Thanks for the review.
Hi Jeremy, what are ur thoughts on the casio wk6600? It's ridiculously cheap for being touch sensitive with sustain port and 76 keys. Should I buy it or not?
Do you have any idea when Casio cdp s160 be available in the US and what will be the cost of it? Plus how is it different from Casio px s1100rd?
Muchas gracias maestro ha sido muy interesante
Pls do review kurzweil kp110. Thank you
Okay, Im missing something here, which keyboard did you use in the video? Your links show various keyboards. Thanks
I can’t find this model anywhere online or even a music store near me, does anyone know where I can purchase one?
How powerful the sound is? Is it suitable for vocalising over it or is it too wimpy?
Could it perhaps be outputted to an outside amplifier if the built-in audio is not powerful enough?
Hi Jeremy, could u pls do a video on ctx700/800 functions like polyphony... bc it would be useful for beginners like me.
Great video! So does that USB port allow to use this keyboard as a MIDI controller, to play with VST instruments on a DAW?
Yes, absolutely
What are some recommendations for an advanced player that really just needs a keyboard for the headphone jack so they don't disturb everybody when they're practicing? (Cheapest possible "decent" recommendations pls)
Thank you for this.
Thats what I want.
easy to see voices - I have a Yamaha and it has 800 voices
That is ridiculous
I only want twenty or thirty and just one touch whilst playing on the fly
Hey Jeremy, do you think this newer cdp-s160 would be able to keep up with the older px-s1000?
Sir what is the model name of this piano?
Its the Casio CDP-S150
It's the NEW CDP-S160
@@JeremySee Thank you very much for your quick response
@@JeremySee can you add this to the description please cos the links don't show it.
@@JeremySee does it have the same action as the PXS 1,000/PXS 3,000?🎹🎶
Great video, but one thing, but who makes with the instrument, and what is its name?
Brand is at 4:31 model in description
I bought the kawai mp11se its quite expensive but its very nice
Casio link takes me to the CDP-S150 not the 160. Maybe the 160 is not available in the USA?
160 isn't in the USA yet. 😉
I just wanted to know is this the s150 or s160, the link sends me to the 150 but your description says 160. i just wanted to know, ty.
It's S160. Available in Asia now and will reach USA/Europe soon.
Do the keys come with all 127 velocity layers and sensitivity?
If so, I'd say even pros can use this in conjunction with professional sounding VSTIs.
Why they don't include the mod wheel to their keyboards is beyond me though.
Thanx, Maestro
Hi Jeremy what is the brand name of this keyboard?
Is there any way to add anymore grand piano tones to this keyboard with the free Casio app?
Does the keys of this piano make those plastic noise which is very much evident in keyboards like Yamaha psr e363 ??
Yamaha p125 is the most complete keyboard and economic for pianists overall or the Yamaha p115
Not sure if you're a Casio sales representative or not, but glancing over the fact that the black and white keys have different downweights is a bit dishonest, isn't it?
It might not be important for beginners, but it is certainly worth mentioning properly and not in some snarky comment. After all, every acoustic and most digital pianos have similar downweights on black and white keys and it feels odd, if it is not the case.
3:37 could you tell me what song this is please?
Sorry to say u did not mention the maker and model no of the keyboard in this video.
What acoustic piano would you recommend for my 7 year old daughter?
i have CDP s110 and i think that sustain effect of the Grand piano voice Is very weak : ( ...i could play an entire piece without ever taking my foot off the pedal : / Is It normal?
I wonder how this compare, soundwise, with the CT-S1? Does it has the Aix chip technology?

Thq BRO 💗💢👍👍
Ive notice weighted 63 keys are realy hard to find, only the old roland rd64 i think, its a shame, if you want something you can carry but still has the feel of a weightd keyboard!
Are you aware of any high quality keyboards or digital pianos that will show you the chord that you are playing on the LCD screen?
Is the Roland fp10 better then this? I'm looking to buy a keyboard and I don't know if I should get this or Roland fp 10.
I can't find this model in the UK.... Does it have a different model number?
Hello and have a good year. I have a problem with my Casio CT-S300 keyboard. When I connect the headphone jack it doesn't sound good. However when I slightly pull it out it makes a good connection. What is the root of this problem and how could I solve it? Is just my keyboard problematic? Thank you.
Hey, what is the name of the Song you played at the beginning.
What was he play at 2:13? That sounded niceeeee
would you recommend this or the alesis grand?
I'm confused. I don't think the model name is ever stated in the video! The description says Casio CDP-S160 but all the links go to CDP-S150.... help!
It's the S160 which may not have reached your shores.
Should I get this, Roland fp10 or fp30?
Please do a detailed review of the behringer um 2
Which one is the one in the video ?
hello, greetings from poland. i have one question, is there any keyboard in casio or casiotone line which allows to import user tone/voice/sounds like sf2 or sfz format? (so far as i know some yamaha psr's support that feature)
thanks 👏🏼🎹👍🏻
I got fp10 and the speakers aren't very good, any recommendations for external speakers I could buy?
So jeremy, I guess the new strategy is not to tell anybody to make and model number, this way they both listen longer and clink your affiliate link?
I'm not chiding you, I get it that you've got to make a couple of bucks or it isn't even worth making these videos anymore.
I will always appreciate your service.
Was also pointing out to friends that owner's manuals these days are almost completely useless other than reference because they're in 14 different languages, all bad.
Most people are going to RUclips for answers.

@@JeremySee Thanks for replying to these comments, I was wondering why the link only showed me the CDP-s150 instead of the one shown in the video. I just thought to give thanks since a couple months ago I was considering one of your earlier piano recommendations early 2021. But simply didn’t have a job to get one; now that I do, I can finally test out a couple of songs I’ve been wanting to transcribe from a couple of my favorite games during my time in quarantine. Of course given when the piano is out for purchase of course. Thanks and just in case; Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Cheers :P
