dont forget to be realistic - you will need to put in some work whatever method you follow for becoming a pianist I've been researching into how to play piano and found an awesome resource at Denelle piano lesson (google it if you're interested)
Hi Sam, I can’t thank you enough for this. Thinking of going back to music again after many years stuck behind a desk. This helps a lot as I can’t really talk to family or friends about this sort of thing in detail. Maybe you could do an updated video and perhaps one on guitars? 😁🤟💯
Just bought the FP 10. Extraordinary good keyfeeling and a solid, slick look too. Sounds great with good headphones and is compact. With the wooden stand it looks even more like its supposed to be standing in the room all the time.
@@Ray-ws6rk Its nice. Simple. Im not using a lot of options, just trying to learn with a normal piano mode and it feels good so far! Would recommend but im not an expert, just played on a real Piano a few times in my school.
@@Lenny-zn8hn I'm also looking forward to the FP-10. I just wanted you ask. You CAN connect it to an external speaker via aux right? Edit: Yes you can :)
I own both pianos: Roland FP-10 and Casio CDP-S100. The sound of a (compact, stage and upright) digital piano really is a matter of taste, and also depends on the settings of the individual piano and used speakers and/or headphones. Yamaha is like an upright piano, Roland is more warm and full and Casio sounds like a grand piano with an open ceiling. Also consider the number of polyphonies (Yamaha and Casio have 64, Roland has 96 polyphones). All models sound better with a good headphone or profetional external speakerss than the built-in speakers. With the further development of the virtual pianos up to the physically modeled pianos, the sound engine within the compact digital pianos is not really interesting and does not represent the first criterion for me. You can simply connect your stage piano to a tablet or computer and launsch a physical modeled virtual piano engine, and you get the best sound out there, with infinite possibilities for tuning right through to the length of the strings. The most important thing in a piano is the KEYBOARD. On all three keyboards of the named models, the keyboard of Casio is by far the best with well-scaled dynamics and pleasing surface texture (Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II). In summary, a sound engine can be substituted for a better one, but you can not replace a bad keyboard.
When will the evolution take us to just a keyboard for action/feel? It is one thing if there is actual synthesizing ciruitry, but if just voices, it seems the buyer gets locked into one set of voices. Just buy the Spectrasonics Keyscape voices once and for all. Speakers in these units seem redundant - remove the expense, complication. Just make the vst available for DAWs. Maybe there is a problem with copyright, unbridled copying of the voices that way, IDK.
Hi, very interesting and I'd need some more details pls. I'm technically pretty disadvantaged, so to speak... I'm debating along the Casio CDP-S350, Roland FP-30, Casio PX-360 and Casio CDP-230R. There are 2 things I'm interested in: 1) sound range - I only play classical and I'd like to have a wide range of piano, harpsichord and pipe organ sounds. Can't give a damn about anything else. 2) keyboard - the more realistic feel the better. It should be weighted and graded, naturally. Also the Roland FP has this features, the resonance of harmonically related notes, not just the sound of the key you press, not sure if it's a software or hardware thing. So, I wondered about the same thing you just said above, namely could I just buy sounds I need above the ones the piano comes with? Is this possible? How does this work pls?
I’m of the same mindset, key feel is the top priority, but then the Bluetooth on the Roland is such an attractive perk the Casio doesn’t have. Is the key feel of the Casio so much better than the Roland that it’s worth missing out on Bluetooth? I can’t imagine it being so. Roland app looks much better than Casio app as well.
My mouth hit the floor when I saw that Korg was just 310 pounds (390 dollars).. feels like 20 years ago something with quality like this would set you back double or triple that
@@untenableposition I felt exactly the same as you perhaps about ten years ago when I first heard the Korg SP170. I bought one and it lasted all of about a few years until the keys started rattling like hell and then a few notes failed completely. OK so the price of these keyboards have plummeted but I suspect so has the quality !!
Korg B1 -> 4:56 Yamaha NP12 -> 8:08 Yamaha P45 -> 11:09 Roland:Go -> 14:40 Roland :FP10 -> 19:06 Casio S100-> 22:06 In my countery korg isnt an option so i need compare yamaha p45 vs roland f10, i belive that roland's bass characteristic like the sound coming from a string, it is like including sharp harmonics but yamaha's bass characteristic like including litte reverb and pure bass sounds, i didnt hear any sharpy harmonics. Of course it is up to you but i am trying to compare which sound is more realistic.
@@aminuolawale1843 it's been amazing for the most part. Keys are smooth and not too rigid. Nice a tiny doesn't take up much room. Great sound out of the built in speakers. Just wish it had more instrument options but other than that great purchase. Let me know If you get it! I wish you well
@@maximum94 Thanks very much! I'm just starting to learn, so I probably don't have too high standards about keyboards. Looking forward to receiving it.
personally i recommend the gear 4 music DP-6 as it looks and sounds great although it doesnt have many settings for the voice that you can change but i use it and its great
Hi Raido, we've just set up our DP-6 and have found that all the notes right of middle c are accompanied by a loud (overpowering) knocking noise on both the headphones and the speakers. You can only hear the knocking noise when in the grand piano and bright piano voice- all the others are fine. Is that normal?
@@birgittouweneel421 hello! ive never had that happen to me, maybe a problem with the headphones? they could be plugged in wrong or loose, or maybe be broken? i dont really know but thats never happened to me using it.
Very helpful. I want to get a keyboard for a young pianist in my family; now at college with very little dorm space, and no access to practice room. Good affordable keyboard, even smaller, option?
This was really cool, thanks so much. I've gone round and round in endless loops looking for the best keyboard for my budget. The Roland FP10 will do it. Thanks!
It was worth to mention also the NP-32 which is a bigger brother of NP-12 Piaggero version of Yamaha. It has double power speakers + graded action + of course 76 keys instead of 61
I think the speakers on the device are just not as good. I compared that at guitar center and when i raised the casio to a relatively louder setting than the others it began to sound “fuller” and didn’t sound as “thin” but with headphones it sounds just as good.
I read that the keys of the YAMAHA NP12 are a bit narrow respect to a real Piano keys and someone advise against this keyboard for this reason. Is it true? In the web the informations are in conflict. Thanks
@Man Yogurt I think he's asking about key width, not length. And I've often heard the keys are slightly narrow on the NP12 & NP32 as well, so every octave is slightly compressed. I've no idea though as I've not tried one myself, but if it's true I would avoid them just because of this.
@@AdrianoGomesJr The cpd 135 is a fine instrument, I prefer the CPD S100 though as it has textured keys which are very very similar to the feel of a real piano especially the action is really good., personally I also like the sound a bit more.
@MiggyBaboy YT No just the opposite; I prefer the more smoother mellow sounding of the classical grand piano. Brighter piano sound is usually for pop music. There is no right or wrong here. Just really what individual prefers.
@MiggyBaboy YT 1:29 FP10 , 2:20 Yamaha P45. It is important to understand I am *not* saying FP10 is bad, in the contrary I totally agree it is a great beginners' piano and it sounds great. The recorded piano sounds is just my personal preference as the Yamaha "Grand Piano" sounds more like the classical piano, while the bright/metallic piano sounds are more for pop music (being very picky here).
@MiggyBaboy YT Yes I did. Specifically FP10 and P45. I really love both of them. For the default normal concert grand piano sounds, I personally prefers the P45.
I'm still desperatly searching for a new digital piano as my old one broke in january this year. I bought it for 10 euro's, it has 54 keys and it was a used keyboard. It doesnt turn on anymore. I can't play the piano while I only have 150 euro's to spend. But thats not nearly enough to even get simple 88 key. I've been searching for good 88 key keyboards for months now
@@hulkmanmelkman8216 it may be an idea if only just for now to buy a second hand model... my sister bought a yamaha digital piano second hand and got 5 years out of it! She just sold it to a beginner as she bought a new piano... i have seen many excellent offers over the years... worth a look on ebay...gumtree...or used piano shops...
As a beginner, you should definitely get an 88 key. I've had a RockJam 561 for a year now and I hate that it only has 61 keys. A lot of the stuff that I want to start playing doesn't translate well with a 61 keys machine. I'm also starting to notice it twangs, and not having a sustain pedal sucks.
Very good review - it would be helpful to lay out what the wattage output is on the various models, This can greatly affect the sound and ability to fill the room. I think I saw the Korg having 2x 15 watt output?
who wants to carry around this kind of stuff to gigs with a stand a sustain pedal and amplifiers.They are great for just at home,no wonder everyone and most venues are filled with guitarists.37keys are enough to match the human voice and support a band.
Just dusted off my old Yamaha keyboard, but have a Tech question for you. I have a Yamaha Keyboard with 6.35mm headphone Jack (which I could convert to 3.5mms Jack using lead) and a tablet with 3.5mm jack, I would like to listen to keyboard tutorials from RUclips whilst also hearing the keyboard via the same headphones. I don't know what I need! Any advice appreciated. DAC, splitter, mixer????
This video is useful and informative enough for me who is thinking of aquiring digital piano for my children to learn and ofcourse for myself to play. Btw, this guy sound like the guy from Just One More Watch Channel.
Hi ! thank you so much for this excellent video. I'm shopping for a keyboard with weighted keys, with an action that feels as closely as possible like an acoustic piano action. I have been already advised to go to a shop and try one for myself but i am very willing to rely instead on an advice from a professional player of both digital and acoustic piano like you. Sounds quality is not that important, action quality is as I need it to practice. To conclude i would be very interested to know which one you like the best action wise. Thank you sincerely. Kind regards, gino
Can I ask how people should learn play on keyboard ... like is it learning the keys or just practising ? Thanks for the answer and your videos are lit, nice job 😀👍👍👍👍
I would get a book from Alfred or another lesson book series if you are self learning. Alternate between the book for technique and theory and get some song books at your skill level so you can learn songs that aren't too old.
I was exactly in your position, but Casio makes calculators and Yamaha makes beautiful sounding keyboards. The video I would watch if I were you would be the Yamaha vs Casio s100 sound quality blind test video, it sums up how much better the Yamaha is. The rich and warm sound, compared to the much more artificial Casio. It has definitely changed my opinion.
@@charliesalter3744 Unfortunately, the P-45 (or at least the one I got) sounded a bit muffled, at least the wife thought so. So I think the Casio is louder and clearer, but who knows, cuz the wife now says the Casio sounds a bit tinny. Hmm.
Great job! And all along I thought you were a guitar guy. You are a very talented keyboard player as well! Excellent review. I'd like to see more reviews like these. Maybe the Yamaha P-515, the newer Casio Privia Line S-3000. I'd also be interested in what you would recommend.
Hi, I am wondering if anyone can compare the quality of touch between Korg B2 and Kurtzweil KA-90. I prefer the Kurtzweil for its higher overall options, but the sound of the Korg B2 amazes me. I'm interested to know if anyone has tried both. Thank you. I edit: I need it to study intermediate level classical repertoire.
I have only tried the Kurzweil KA90 and it feels good although the keys are plastic, if you are practicing piano and from what I see you want more demand I suggest buying a more expensive model, but there are also options such as the Roland FP30, Kawai ES110, Casio PX S1000 (The Roland and Casio have synthetic ivory finish)
@@ayrtoninchejanampa6874 Ok, thank you for your answer. My question was because I live far from the good stores and I cannot test the models that are available, I can only watch RUclips videos to get an idea of the sound. The feeling when playing is important, but I am only a modest amateur, although I want to seriously study the piano repertoire. I think the Kurzweil will be my choice for the first 88 keys, but first I have a lot to study. Regards.
I cant decide between the Roland fp10 vs the KORG B1? I also wanna try doing synthesis too if it’s works :). Sustain is great too and I live in the Philippines. which should I pick ?
I'd go the Roland for sure, but if you're gonna go Korg, get the D1, not the B1. No built in speakers (so you have to use an external amp), but the keybed is lightyears better (on the D1 than the B1). Me personally still prefer the Roland PHA4 (on the FP-10, FP-30 ...).
buy pianos under $200.00 with weighted keys or semi-weighted that have 88 keys speakers don't matter that much you can buy a good pair separately and sounds don't matter that much either if you can hook up your usb to ipad or laptop or iphone that has applications with large sound banks
My Piano has 61 keys and I am in love with him! I refer to my piano as a him because I gave him a special name. After all, Elton John gives his pianos names so I can I name my piano? And I love him so much my piano is so good to me I love him! The piano it's such a beautiful soothing sounding instrument.
Perhaps you might add the Alesisi Recital and Pro. Looks good on paper. Has proper output jacks and keyboard split which is unusual in theis price range. Great video btw.
I own one. It has been great for the couple months I've used it for. But on the regular recital, the one I own, it doesn't have weighted keys and its volume is not the best. If I were to recommend one it would be the Yamaha p125.
I don't mean to show off but after two years of practice I can play twinkle twinkle little star with only two mistakes.
Wow!
No way
Not meaning to show off, but I practice 25 hours per day

can not replace a bad keyboard.

A thumbs-up for putting the list at the beginning.
This was so well made and informative. Great video
Very good review - it would be helpful to lay out what the wattage output is on the various models, This can greatly affect the sound and ability to fill the room. I think I saw the Korg having 2x 15 watt output?
I know I'm a little late but thanks a lot for this video mate the exact video i was looking for
who wants to carry around this kind of stuff to gigs with a stand a sustain pedal and amplifiers.They are great for just at home,no wonder everyone and most venues are filled with guitarists.37keys are enough to match the human voice and support a band.
I do
Just dusted off my old Yamaha keyboard, but have a Tech question for you. I have a Yamaha Keyboard with 6.35mm headphone Jack (which I could convert to 3.5mms Jack using lead) and a tablet with 3.5mm jack, I would like to listen to keyboard tutorials from RUclips whilst also hearing the keyboard via the same headphones. I don't know what I need! Any advice appreciated. DAC, splitter, mixer????
They are all sounds good.
Thank you very much... You helped me to choose! Yamaha is good for prise and look tu me as beginer!
I cant decide between the korg b1 als the yamaha p 45 i want some cinda Soft sound but crisp Too
I love the glowie purple thing in the background, what is it?
I think it's just a light
LED, probably
Sam is a fantastic sales advisor. I hope you pay him the bug bucks.
Love that Ben Folds
You've got your philosophy
I'm wondering what's the song he was playing on 11:30. Anyone can answer me? Thanks a tonne!
Can you give us the order of preferences between all this pianos ?
Helpful video, thanks
This video is useful and informative enough for me who is thinking of aquiring digital piano for my children to learn and ofcourse for myself to play. Btw, this guy sound like the guy from Just One More Watch Channel.
I'd give this very informative video a thousand likes if I could. Can someone help name the song played on the Roland FP10?
It's Let it be from the Beatles :)
@@nicokunz Thanks man!
Ordered the FP30 over the FP10 as a complete beginner. Just felt the additional features were worth getting the FP30 over the FP10 even as a beginner.
Eleqtrique what’s that?
have you experienced any clicking noises of the keys?
Hi ! thank you so much for this excellent video. I'm shopping for a keyboard with weighted keys, with an action that feels as closely as possible like an acoustic piano action. I have been already advised to go to a shop and try one for myself but i am very willing to rely instead on an advice from a professional player of both digital and acoustic piano like you. Sounds quality is not that important, action quality is as I need it to practice. To conclude i would be very interested to know which one you like the best action wise. Thank you sincerely. Kind regards, gino
gino most people on videos and forums say that the roland has the best key feel from what i've found
Yamaha with the GH action. Avoid their GHS action.
Super! Thanks a lot!!
Thanks mate you rock!!
Great video thank you 🙏🏻:)
thank you!!
Can I ask how people should learn play on keyboard ... like is it learning the keys or just practising ? Thanks for the answer and your videos are lit, nice job 😀👍👍👍👍
I would get a book from Alfred or another lesson book series if you are self learning. Alternate between the book for technique and theory and get some song books at your skill level so you can learn songs that aren't too old.
@@BUJU2007 ok thank you 👌😊😊😊
Which is better: Yamaha p45 or CASIO S100?
Nikhil Deshpande p45 is the way to go in my opinion
I was exactly in your position, but Casio makes calculators and Yamaha makes beautiful sounding keyboards. The video I would watch if I were you would be the Yamaha vs Casio s100 sound quality blind test video, it sums up how much better the Yamaha is. The rich and warm sound, compared to the much more artificial Casio. It has definitely changed my opinion.
@@charliesalter3744 Unfortunately, the P-45 (or at least the one I got) sounded a bit muffled, at least the wife thought so. So I think the Casio is louder and clearer, but who knows, cuz the wife now says the Casio sounds a bit tinny. Hmm.
vccranker, don’t you know a woman can never be satisfied? 😜
@@johannwilder1437 Right? ROTFL : - )
Great job! And all along I thought you were a guitar guy. You are a very talented keyboard player as well! Excellent review. I'd like to see more reviews like these. Maybe the Yamaha P-515, the newer Casio Privia Line S-3000. I'd also be interested in what you would recommend.
12:55 A "not dipshit function" definitely need one them if ur a beginner
Lol, he actually said an octave shift function
Hi, I am wondering if anyone can compare the quality of touch between Korg B2 and Kurtzweil KA-90. I prefer the Kurtzweil for its higher overall options, but the sound of the Korg B2 amazes me. I'm interested to know if anyone has tried both. Thank you. I edit: I need it to study intermediate level classical repertoire.
I have only tried the Kurzweil KA90 and it feels good although the keys are plastic, if you are practicing piano and from what I see you want more demand I suggest buying a more expensive model, but there are also options such as the Roland FP30, Kawai ES110, Casio PX S1000 (The Roland and Casio have synthetic ivory finish)
@@ayrtoninchejanampa6874 Ok, thank you for your answer. My question was because I live far from the good stores and I cannot test the models that are available, I can only watch RUclips videos to get an idea of the sound. The feeling when playing is important, but I am only a modest amateur, although I want to seriously study the piano repertoire. I think the Kurzweil will be my choice for the first 88 keys, but first I have a lot to study. Regards.
These were still out of my budget so I settled for a Casio CTX-800
How is it working out for you? Would you recommend the keyboard?
CTX 700 & 800
I cant decide between the Roland fp10 vs the KORG B1? I also wanna try doing synthesis too if it’s works :). Sustain is great too and I live in the Philippines. which should I pick ?
Revere why the KORG b1? why not the roland fp10
I'd go the Roland for sure, but if you're gonna go Korg, get the D1, not the B1. No built in speakers (so you have to use an external amp), but the keybed is lightyears better (on the D1 than the B1). Me personally still prefer the Roland PHA4 (on the FP-10, FP-30 ...).
14:51 is that virtual insanity? Love this variation! 😍
I loved the Yamaha P45
Great vid, thx
buy pianos under $200.00 with weighted keys or semi-weighted that have 88 keys speakers don't matter that much you can buy a good pair separately and sounds don't matter that much either if you can hook up your usb to ipad or laptop or iphone that has applications with large sound banks

My Piano has 61 keys and I am in love with him! I refer to my piano as a him because I gave him a special name. After all, Elton John gives his pianos names so I can I name my piano? And I love him so much my piano is so good to me I love him! The piano it's such a beautiful soothing sounding instrument.
Like for the tie
Perhaps you might add the Alesisi Recital and Pro. Looks good on paper. Has proper output jacks and keyboard split which is unusual in theis price range. Great video btw.
I own one. It has been great for the couple months I've used it for. But on the regular recital, the one I own, it doesn't have weighted keys and its volume is not the best. If I were to recommend one it would be the Yamaha p125.
Bend folds. Subscribed.
Yamaha do a silent acoustic stringed piano
The question is, which is the best one of these? (Except the 66key ones, duh.)
Nice one, thanks! ;-)
which one is better? the CASIO CDP-S100 or the Yamaha P-45?
They are similar and it depends a lot on your tastes in terms of sounds and keys (Personally, I once tried the Casio and it had very noisy keys)
Sneaking "heart and soul" into the video is the piano equivalent of playing stairway... Well played, good sir 😂
