Jeremy please reply..which keyboards keypad is more durable and quiet..korg ek 50, casio ct-s500, korg liano, casio ct-s400 vs ct-s1, yamaha np 35, yamaha psr-e473, yamaha ew425. What is your personal opinion?
Any non weighted should be relatively quiet, besides a soft springing sound of the key being springed back up after depression. @@zekaidenmuzikziyafeti7066
At least in Europe it's now a chance to grab the previous models, they are so much cheaper. The 76 key NP-32 is about 70 euros cheaper than the 61 key NP-15. The 61 key model NP-12 is about 170 euros only. But I understand if someone really wants to have the latest. It seems the new models have actual improvements. However I can not see the point for the NP-35. Price is similar to P125, P121 which have real weighted keyboards.
Maybe some piano teachers and beginners go by the method of learning on a relatively less hard touch leyboard/digital piano for a year or so, and then get a fully weighted keys digital piano later as an upgrade. I'm totally not sure too though, this was just a random thought that popped into my mind now.
Yamaha must consider and redesign the piaggero series by repositioning the speakers 🔊 on top or at the back so that the piaggero series will have a shorter length and could easily be placed across its length at the back row sit or the car boot.
Mr. Jeremy See, you are a saviour. Whether it's luck or faith, but you helped me through every piano/keyboard purchase I made, and just when I was looking for an upgrade to my Yamaha PSR E-W310 to a digital piano, I came across your video today. I appreciate your presence on RUclips, and the great insightful, and tastefully delivered reviews and comparisons that in my opinion are unmatched by any other content creator in this area. Many thanks for the awesome content, and wish you more progress and prosperity.
This 76 key model is hardly smaller than a full 88 key bed. The two speakers at the ends adds unnecessary width for no good reason. The NP-35 has a total width of 126 cm, while the 88 key Korg Liano is at 128.2 cm.
its been a while, I got my hands on a casio ctk1150 keyboard and I am impressed with it despite having sounds from the early 2000s when compared to my 17 year old ctk495
I've always had my eyes on the Piaggero 32 when I was in the 200-300 range before the Liano came out. The new Piaggero looks intriguing, but I'm happy with my DGX 660. Great vid Jeremy.
@@hemjoo Yes, it should sound much better with a CFiiiS sample. The action is still very weak for pianistic pianists and the speakers at either end is a silly thing, making it less portable.
My choice was a Keystation88 semi-weighted M-Audio masterkeyboard with no sounds. I hook it to a Roland SD50 or a miniEngine Midiplus and it's equally portable. I specifically went for a masterkeyboard because I like to play outdoors in the garden and it's light to move around with no sound module or speakers and usb powered.
In my opinion yes if you are a beginner playing on weighted keys can be hard, but eventually after playing on them for a wile you get use to it. In my opinion it's beter to start on a weighted keyboard than having to adjust your technique later because you have become use to non weighted keys🎹🎶
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a digital piano which such realistic sound, especially at this price point. This will definitely be on my Christmas list.
Hi Jeremy. I had to go to another site to get view of the entire keyboard. I would prefer if the configuration was extended on the lower notes so that you had Low A to High E, instead of Low C to High G, since I use the low notes more that the extreme high notes, however I do not know of any manufacturer that takes this into consideration. Thank you for your continuing work on these reviews.
Hi, i have the opportunity to get a used yamaha p45 for 300 euro with the stand inclusive, the seller said its 3 years old and in good condition I have never played before but i want to learn so i cant really test it because i have no comparism Would you recommend me to buy it?
On the other hand, you could get a used Roland A90-EX, a good one can be had for almost nothing these days, and they have an incredibly nice hammer action keyboard. The EX (with the VE-RD1 board) has 30-odd piano sounds (as well as others). The non-expanded one is a fine midi controller and all you need is a computer or MIDI module to make the sound... but you've got that superb hammer action. I've not yet found a keyboard (especially an inexpensive one) that can hold a candle to the A90's keyboard action.
Well, the Debussy certainly sounds good on it. But, I am curious, what is the action like? Most consumer keyboards have horrible action, which really SUCKS for beginning students as young fingers must be trained, must be exercised, must gain strength for advanced performances. But, you kind of explained that in your presentation.
As always Jeremy you give us the benefit your knowledge and expertise. A great review. Time for me to blow the dust off my beginner piano books, they're 50 years old. A bit younger than me!
@@JeremySee. Even though this supports half pedaling it suffers from that same old Piagerro (and other models) problem of the key being harder to press down at the top of the key vs the bottom. The Korg Liano doesn’t have this problem so all in all I think it’s the better option. Grest video as always though
I know someone who has an 88 key weighted "portable" piano. It was super heavy. In its carrying case I could barely lift it. Perhaps it is just me but the strings on these type of devices don't sound that much like the sring instruments they are meant to emulate.
Jeremy can you please tell me if Technics SX-KN 1500 is a nice keyboard to buy and can you please reveiw it in your next video or just tell me about it by replying this comment Thanks
The CT S1 doesn’t have weighted keys. I have a 61 key version that is super light for travel so I can practice, arrange, and compose. But I wouldn’t recommend learning piano on it.
No mention of the Yamaha DGXs? They’re great. I just moved my DGX-640 into the living room to get my 6 year old started. Great samples, MIDI. Have the matching bench and off brand 3 sustain pedals. It’s have so you’re right on the target about portability….but it would foot the bill for a great jazz combo.
I've had a similar Yamaha for about 10 years. It has weighted keys, and can do many sounds. It can also play music from MIDI files. It was about $700. But the pedal is kind of lame. The more expensive ones have three pedals attached.
It's great to see the DGX-670 on this list. I played a number of keyboards at my local music store and it is A VERY, VERY NICE ALL-IN-ONE keyboard. The feel is absolutely amazing. I've gotta get me one of these. While some weighted keys are weighted too much, like a very stiff, hard to play piano, this keyboard was comfortable to play, like a well-engineered piano. Thank you for the review here! Some say you won't use the 88 keys, yet if you really play, you WILL need those extra keys. Have you looked at the keyboards on Temu? Yamaha's flagship keyboard is more like a mobile sound studio, which is a lot of overkill. I like the DGX-670 for an overall playable keyboard.
So I'm contemplating between Yamaha Piaggero NP 15 and Casiotone CT S1, I'm mostly just looking for good classic piano sound, and the quality of keys, what would you recommend?
Through headphones, Yamaha Piaggero NP 15's default piano sound ("Piano 1") sounds a little better compared to the Casio CT-S1's default piano sound ("Stage Piano"), but though the speakers, the Casio's default piano sound might sound better with its Surround button turned on, compared to the Yamaha's default piano sound, but I haven't had a chance to try it in a piano/keyboard store yet. If you have a chance, I suggest you try exactly these 2 comparisons in theshop. Also, the Yamaha's keys might feel slightly more like a real piano's keys, compared to the Casio's synth-style key action/touch feel, but I saw a few pro pianists compare the keys/touch/action of the Casio CT-S1 keyboard and one of the Yamaha Piaggero NP digital pianos, and they like the Casio's keys/touch/action/feel more because it gives more precise control over the dynamics (ex. less likely to jump out random loud notes on the Casio CT-S1, compared to the Yamaha Piaggero NP series). Copy&Paste this video title into your RUclips search bar to see a video of one of the pro (jazz) pianists opinion about the key action/touch/feel/etc and some other aspects: CASIO CT-S1 vs YAMAHA NP-35】いろいろ比較してみました♪ (It has English subtitles, and he can speak English, and he is cool to answer some of your possible questions in his comment section.)
I bought a Yamaha Portable with fantastic Grand Hammer Design. It is basically the front end of a baby-grand. It is not light and has several piano sounds. I connect it to my computer, and it becomes a MIDI trigger for my vast selection of sounds. In Fairlight, it becomes an analogue synth. Best choice for me.
It's always interesting to see stuff for beginners. I have a psr 510 from the mid 90's (bought it in 94 when the store called "BEST" was going out of business in the pacific northwest, specifically in Gresham, Oregon) for about 500) -- It still works so after all these years I'm not going to let that purchase go to waste and start learning on it. Anyways your reviews seem pretty good even if I never intend to buy anything.
🌟 Haha 😅 Eu também tenho 1 Psr 510 comprado + ou - em 1994. Mas o meu deu alguns defeitos, teclas falhando etc (apesar que ainda liga) e eu fui evoluindo nos instrumentos.. Adquiri 1 PSR 2100, e 1 Piano Privia PX560 que é oq uso atualmente! 🙂😊😎
Jeremy, you do a great job on these videos but the new Yamaha Piaggiero NP-35 is running $389 everywhere, not $300. You still need to think about the Casio CT-S1 for that price range, no?
Yeah, maybe he got wrong data from Yamaha about price points. Aah, but the Casio CT-S1 only has 61 keys, but nice Electric Piano sounds. The CT-S1 is another thing I bought that I don't use much. I much prefer the Casio CT-S300 with the carrying handle for my basic daily banging out inversions and voicings and licks in (hopefully) many keys. The world needs more keyboards with carrying handles as well custom-fit music desks like the CT-S300. HINT: Tell Yamaha and others about handles!
I have different Yamaha keyboard with 76 semi-weighted keys which I play regularly, but I still prefer CT-S1 keyboard feel. On CT-S1 you get many beautiful electric piano and organ sounds. However on CT-S1 you may feel limited if you wanted to set up basic piano + strings or piano + pad or natural sounding principal organ. If that's the case, then Yamaha will be better for you.
Do you prefer the piano or liano? Why? I am a professional pianist, but I want to start recording and producing film scores. Do you have any recommendations to buy?
I don't have the money for it right now, but I'm interested in learning piano sometime in the near future. I know a little bit (how to form basic chords and how to make a major scale), but I have very little practice in it. I learned these things from a fundamentals of music theory class from years back and I tried them on a cheap keyboard my mom had. I do play other instruments, so I'm not new to playing music, but I want to expand to piano because 1) I love the way it sounds and 2) keyboards can play all sorts of sounds, especially if you use them for a midi input. I have all these melodies in my head that use piano and other instruments, so I want to learn piano in order to play what's in my head. This keyboard looks like a good fit for me when I get the money. It's not super expensive and it sounds amazing! Also, this review was so well done! You were very thorough and I liked that you played the different sounds the keyboard could make throughout the video. The different sounds are so good for this price range (in my opinion). The keyboard my mom has is decent, but a lot of the sounds aren't great and even the good ones don't sound nearly as good as this keyboard.
The Casio CT S1 sounds amazing. I liked the feel of its keys better and I got the 61 key for the lightest weight possible. I don’t like the speakers on the ends of this Yamaha, it limits where you can put it. But portability was my main factor. I already have a Roland FP digital piano with weighted keys at home but it’s too heavy for travel.
My biggest problem with owning a Yamaha P515 is that it doesn't sound like a piano, it just sounds piano'ish , so I cannot imagine this being any better sitting at the bottom. They all sound great on these videos but not when you are sitting in front of them. It doesn't matter on stage if they sound piano'ish because of all the other noise, but they do not have the piano down pat yet, maybe in another 50 years. lol
i got my first keyboard from my uncle it's an yamaha f50 everyone said that it's not a good begginer keyboard but i didn't pay for it neither did i know how to play so i learned on this keyboard and bought a new midi later down the line doesn't matter which gear u buy but ur skills ☺
I just scored a SUZUKI yes SUZUKI Sp-8 digital work station!!!! I can not too plug it in and hear it in action 🎉🎉🎉 I can't even find not one single video on that specific model Jeremy 😮
Jeremy I always liked the sound of the harpsichord, but never found an occasion or gig or situation were it was needed and an absolute must. I dont know whether it's just me, but I can't really see the point of having the voice on modern keyboards?
Hi there! Love your videos! I watch them all the time. I am a beginner and have the Casio CTX700. I want to use my windows computer to hook up thru the usb. What programs do you recommend for windows to learn. I would love to take your course but I am in dialysis and funds are tight right now. Lee the videos coming. You are so knowledgeable and appreciate you!!!!
I had one. It's not a piano but a keyboard since there is not heavy keys. The pro are it's very light et small. The sound is decent. You can find many true piano for a little extra money with better touch.
Thank you so much for your review! I was looking for a beginner piano but more relevant and not to expensive. And one I can work with on the PC. Like you said the perfect balance between all.
Does it have any key resistance? I have a Casio keyboard with touch 'response' but no action - so it's very lightweight and very off-putting when you are suddenly presented with a real piano.
Unrelated, but, Is there any specific reason why Casio keyboards almost always sound cheap? I’ve been using an old Yamaha psr-170, and it still sounds better than most Casio keyboards I’ve tried. Is Yamaha just built like that?
I’m a beginner looking to learn the keyboard as a regular hobby. A bit confused as this is my first time buying a keyboard. But I’m looking to buy something that would last me for a long long time and not just during the initial phase. Something that has good quality sound and fulfills the criteria of being the best in the range. Should I go for Yamaha PSR-E373 or Casio CT-X870IN? Casiotone CT-S1 is for +$25, or should I go for any other keyboard staying in this range? Please do let me know.
@@Persun_McPersonson by that I mean the quality should be good. I’m looking to learn it as a side hobby along with my hectic study routine. So something that I can still use after 2-3 years. As someone who’s just looking to start out, I have zero idea about the sounds that the keys can make, etc. Things that may be a bit of annoyance when I start understanding the keybord a bit more. I hope that makes sense.
Hi JeremySee, Idk if you still remember me, but I'm so glad to see your channel growing. I have a request, So I want a few tips or a tutorial on how to make your chords sound gospel.
Hi Jeremy, I've watched several of your videos and had settled on buying the Korg B2, mainly due to the features you explained. Unfortunately to get the full potential of the keyboard the Korg app is important, here's the rub luckily I caught it first, the app is only available on Apple. So an affordable keyboard now has a hidden cost of several hundred pounds, more than the cost of the keyboard. Please explain this extra cost in future videos. Thanks for all your work....
Hi Jeremy, I am seriously considering purchasing your full course for learning to play keyboards but I have one question that I really can't find an answer to: I own a YAMAHA Reface CP and I REALLY would like to learn to play on that (Yes I know its probably better to have a 61 key keyboard etc) but do you think I can learn chords, finger positioning etc on a key-bed that is the size of the Reface CP? Thanks a lot!
Nice one, but for portability I would go with Casio CT-S1 instead. This one is a bit too long with the speakers on both sides, way too long to move around for small kids!!! Actually the length of this keyboard is the same as if you would have 88 keys keyboard.... With Casio CT-S1 we can put it on our kitchen table and our kids can play along while I am preparing dinner for everyone!
I am Very new and beginner to piano with zero knowledge. I play acoustic guitar on beginner level. I was planning to buy Casio CT S1, after this video now am confused. Jeremy can you suggest me pls Which will be best?
Hey mate, I am planning to get my 4 year old her first piano so she can start taking lessons. Will greatly appreciate your view if Yamaha p-105 will be good for the purpose? Much appreciated! Thank you.
Hi, Jeremy. It's been a long time and I hope you're doing well. Maybe I'm out of order, but I have a question to ask and I want the answer only from you. CASIO PRIVIA PX 560 - Is it still worth to buy today. Has the version been upgraded for the rythms, voices and sound. I'd like very much to have your opinion. Many Thanks. JPGJAZZ.
Hi Jeremy! Okay I used to play the piano (I owned a Yamaha P45 once, like ten years ago). I haven’t been playing the piano since, but this year I want to get a piano in my room. I’m kind of torn between the Yamaha Piaggero or should I get the P45 again? I’m looking for a keyboard that’s suitable for hobby playing and also perhaps practising, since I haven’t played in a long time. Would love to hear some words from you! 🙏🏼
This sounds nicer than my $1500 Korg Krome (but maybe that's my speaker? it does sound better when I use headphones.. but I'm afraid to use headphones now since over the years (it's 10 years old) some of the keys randomly play at max velocity volume. )
I was really starting to get excited, but that piano is not available in my country (Mexico). Will it be worth paying $150 dollars (plus $389 worth piano, for a total of $589) for shipping, or would it be better to buy the donner dep 20 ($450)? (donner is available here in Mexico)
Hi Jeremy. I need a keyboard to practice during traveling. Will be away from home for 3-4 months multiple times in the next few years (not related to music performance) and as I can't bring my digital piano, I need something to practice on in my free time. What would you choose between NP-35 and Korg Liano? Seems like they are almost the same lenght (as Yamaha has speakers on the side), similar weight and price.
Jeremy please reply..which keyboards keypad is more durable and quiet..korg ek 50, casio ct-s500, korg liano, casio ct-s400 vs ct-s1, yamaha np 35, yamaha psr-e473, yamaha ew425. What is your personal opinion?........
Do I buy this instead or Arturia Keylab MK3 61 instead? I want to primarily do music production And the review is too general. How the capability of MIDI compared to midi keyboard?
Hi!! I'd like to purchase a digital piano. It can't be above $330 because i just can't afford it. I'm an intermediate piano player and until now i've been plaing a yamaha PSRE353. I would like a 88 key, better polyphony and sound quality, weighted key piano. Right now I am thinking about the KORG Liano. What do you think about it? Is it great quality? And are the keys loud?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Might as well get 88 keys if you can have something so wide.
Yes. Yamaha has been making this mistake since 2007 (when the Yamaha NP-30 was launched).
If you put the speakers underneath it blocks the sound. What’s the solution?
Adding total with for no good reason... kind of like the extra keys on either side of an 88 key action 😅
Put the speaker over/above the keys, like the Casio CT-S1 speakers seems to be a good solution.

I’m torn between this and the Casio CT-S1. Is there one you recommend between those two?
The CT S1 doesn’t have weighted keys. I have a 61 key version that is super light for travel so I can practice, arrange, and compose. But I wouldn’t recommend learning piano on it.
*i can't stop following you!*

No mention of the Yamaha DGXs? They’re great. I just moved my DGX-640 into the living room to get my 6 year old started. Great samples, MIDI. Have the matching bench and off brand 3 sustain pedals. It’s have so you’re right on the target about portability….but it would foot the bill for a great jazz combo.
I've had a similar Yamaha for about 10 years. It has weighted keys, and can do many sounds. It can also play music from MIDI files. It was about $700. But the pedal is kind of lame. The more expensive ones have three pedals attached.
I just got a Roland RP30 on sale for around 700. It has three pedals and it seems well built.
It's great to see the DGX-670 on this list. I played a number of keyboards at my local music store and it is A VERY, VERY NICE ALL-IN-ONE keyboard. The feel is absolutely amazing. I've gotta get me one of these. While some weighted keys are weighted too much, like a very stiff, hard to play piano, this keyboard was comfortable to play, like a well-engineered piano. Thank you for the review here! Some say you won't use the 88 keys, yet if you really play, you WILL need those extra keys.
Have you looked at the keyboards on Temu?
Yamaha's flagship keyboard is more like a mobile sound studio, which is a lot of overkill. I like the DGX-670 for an overall playable keyboard.
So I'm contemplating between Yamaha Piaggero NP 15 and Casiotone CT S1, I'm mostly just looking for good classic piano sound, and the quality of keys, what would you recommend?
Through headphones,
Yamaha Piaggero NP 15's default piano sound ("Piano 1") sounds a little better
compared to the Casio CT-S1's default piano sound ("Stage Piano"),
but though the speakers,
the Casio's default piano sound might sound better with its Surround button turned on,
compared to the Yamaha's default piano sound,
but I haven't had a chance to try it in a piano/keyboard store yet.
If you have a chance, I suggest you try exactly these 2 comparisons in theshop.
Also,
the Yamaha's keys might feel slightly more like a real piano's keys,
compared to the Casio's synth-style key action/touch feel,
but I saw a few pro pianists compare the keys/touch/action of the Casio CT-S1 keyboard and one of the Yamaha Piaggero NP digital pianos,
and they like the Casio's keys/touch/action/feel more
because it gives more precise control over the dynamics (ex. less likely to jump out random loud notes on the Casio CT-S1, compared to the Yamaha Piaggero NP series).

CASIO CT-S1 vs YAMAHA NP-35】いろいろ比較してみました♪
(It has English subtitles, and he can speak English, and he is cool to answer some of your possible questions in his comment section.)
I bought a Yamaha Portable with fantastic Grand Hammer Design. It is basically the front end of a baby-grand. It is not light and has several piano sounds. I connect it to my computer, and it becomes a MIDI trigger for my vast selection of sounds. In Fairlight, it becomes an analogue synth. Best choice for me.
Please review Technics SX-KN 1500 keyboard
As a classical trained pianist, it is super hard to choose digital piano for home practice……
Which one to buy? Yamaha P-145 B or Kawai ES-120 B?? I am a beginner and I want learn, I also don't want to be upgrading at least for 5 years.
always a great knowledge vídeo! Thanks Jeremy!
It's always interesting to see stuff for beginners. I have a psr 510 from the mid 90's (bought it in 94 when the store called "BEST" was going out of business in the pacific northwest, specifically in Gresham, Oregon) for about 500) -- It still works so after all these years I'm not going to let that purchase go to waste and start learning on it. Anyways your reviews seem pretty good even if I never intend to buy anything.
yamah sx 700 ... wow the new ace ones
🌟 Haha 😅 Eu também tenho 1 Psr 510 comprado + ou - em 1994. Mas o meu deu alguns defeitos, teclas falhando etc (apesar que ainda liga) e eu fui evoluindo nos instrumentos.. Adquiri 1 PSR 2100, e 1 Piano Privia PX560 que é oq uso atualmente! 🙂😊😎
Jeremy, you do a great job on these videos but the new Yamaha Piaggiero NP-35 is running $389 everywhere, not $300. You still need to think about the Casio CT-S1 for that price range, no?
Yeah, maybe he got wrong data from Yamaha about price points. Aah, but the Casio CT-S1 only has 61 keys, but nice Electric Piano sounds. The CT-S1 is another thing I bought that I don't use much. I much prefer the Casio CT-S300 with the carrying handle for my basic daily banging out inversions and voicings and licks in (hopefully) many keys. The world needs more keyboards with carrying handles as well custom-fit music desks like the CT-S300. HINT: Tell Yamaha and others about handles!
I believe this has better key action than the CT-S1.
@@micahslobcrud5958the casio ct s1 has a handle!
I have different Yamaha keyboard with 76 semi-weighted keys which I play regularly, but I still prefer CT-S1 keyboard feel. On CT-S1 you get many beautiful electric piano and organ sounds. However on CT-S1 you may feel limited if you wanted to set up basic piano + strings or piano + pad or natural sounding principal organ. If that's the case, then Yamaha will be better for you.
Do you prefer the piano or liano? Why?
I am a professional pianist, but I want to start recording and producing film scores. Do you have any recommendations to buy?
Thank you Jeremy, always enjoyed and learnt much fr yr videos. And yes thanks for playing Howl s moving castle , love it
Let it not be left unsaid that you play the piano beautifully Jeremy. Thanks for the video.
I don't have the money for it right now, but I'm interested in learning piano sometime in the near future. I know a little bit (how to form basic chords and how to make a major scale), but I have very little practice in it. I learned these things from a fundamentals of music theory class from years back and I tried them on a cheap keyboard my mom had. I do play other instruments, so I'm not new to playing music, but I want to expand to piano because 1) I love the way it sounds and 2) keyboards can play all sorts of sounds, especially if you use them for a midi input. I have all these melodies in my head that use piano and other instruments, so I want to learn piano in order to play what's in my head.
This keyboard looks like a good fit for me when I get the money. It's not super expensive and it sounds amazing! Also, this review was so well done! You were very thorough and I liked that you played the different sounds the keyboard could make throughout the video. The different sounds are so good for this price range (in my opinion). The keyboard my mom has is decent, but a lot of the sounds aren't great and even the good ones don't sound nearly as good as this keyboard.
Please you are always teaching us about types of keyboard
How about comparing it to Casio CT-S1? I played NP15 in the store and the sounds are really good. I wonder if the Casio can keep up.
The Casio CT S1 sounds amazing. I liked the feel of its keys better and I got the 61 key for the lightest weight possible. I don’t like the speakers on the ends of this Yamaha, it limits where you can put it. But portability was my main factor. I already have a Roland FP digital piano with weighted keys at home but it’s too heavy for travel.
Hi Jeremy this Piano its a dream i have piagero NP 12 Yamaha best qalitty
My biggest problem with owning a Yamaha P515 is that it doesn't sound like a piano, it just sounds piano'ish , so I cannot imagine this being any better sitting at the bottom. They all sound great on these videos but not when you are sitting in front of them.
It doesn't matter on stage if they sound piano'ish because of all the other noise, but they do not have the piano down pat yet, maybe in another 50 years. lol
Have you tried the Casio CT-S1 with its Surround button turned on?
i got my first keyboard from my uncle it's an yamaha f50 everyone said that it's not a good begginer keyboard but i didn't pay for it neither did i know how to play so i learned on this keyboard and bought a new midi later down the line doesn't matter which gear u buy but ur skills ☺
I just scored a SUZUKI yes SUZUKI Sp-8 digital work station!!!! I can not too plug it in and hear it in action 🎉🎉🎉 I can't even find not one single video on that specific model Jeremy 😮
Jeremy I always liked the sound of the harpsichord, but never found an occasion or gig or situation were it was needed and an absolute must. I dont know whether it's just me, but I can't really see the point of having the voice on modern keyboards?
I purchased the piaggero NP-12 as my first. I’m so happy with it, I’ve tried connecting it to amps, and whatnot but the sound is not the same!!!
Hi there! Love your videos! I watch them all the time. I am a beginner and have the Casio CTX700. I want to use my windows computer to hook up thru the usb. What programs do you recommend for windows to learn. I would love to take your course but I am in dialysis and funds are tight right now. Lee the videos coming. You are so knowledgeable and appreciate you!!!!
Hello Jeremy, thanks for there video. Do you recommend this one or the Korg Liano?
wondering that as well... any info?
I had one. It's not a piano but a keyboard since there is not heavy keys. The pro are it's very light et small. The sound is decent. You can find many true piano for a little extra money with better touch.
Thank you so much for your review! I was looking for a beginner piano but more relevant and not to expensive. And one I can work with on the PC. Like you said the perfect balance between all.
Does it have any key resistance? I have a Casio keyboard with touch 'response' but no action - so it's very lightweight and very off-putting when you are suddenly presented with a real piano.
You need to check out the PSR-225! This keyboard is the starting of the PSR-E4 series.
Unrelated, but, Is there any specific reason why Casio keyboards almost always sound cheap? I’ve been using an old Yamaha psr-170, and it still sounds better than most Casio keyboards I’ve tried. Is Yamaha just built like that?
I’m a beginner looking to learn the keyboard as a regular hobby.
A bit confused as this is my first time buying a keyboard. But I’m looking to buy something that would last me for a long long time and not just during the initial phase. Something that has good quality sound and fulfills the criteria of being the best in the range.
Should I go for Yamaha PSR-E373 or Casio CT-X870IN? Casiotone CT-S1 is for +$25, or should I go for any other keyboard staying in this range? Please do let me know.
@@Persun_McPersonson by that I mean the quality should be good. I’m looking to learn it as a side hobby along with my hectic study routine. So something that I can still use after 2-3 years. As someone who’s just looking to start out, I have zero idea about the sounds that the keys can make, etc. Things that may be a bit of annoyance when I start understanding the keybord a bit more.
I hope that makes sense.
@@Ur_gamergurl thank you. I’ll definitely check it out.
Hi JeremySee, Idk if you still remember me, but I'm so glad to see your channel growing. I have a request, So I want a few tips or a tutorial on how to make your chords sound gospel.
CT-S1 Vs NP-35 who will win?
Hi Jeremy, I've watched several of your videos and had settled on buying the Korg B2, mainly due to the features you explained. Unfortunately to get the full potential of the keyboard the Korg app is important, here's the rub luckily I caught it first, the app is only available on Apple. So an affordable keyboard now has a hidden cost of several hundred pounds, more than the cost of the keyboard. Please explain this extra cost in future videos. Thanks for all your work....
between NP-35 & P-45 B WHICH ONE IS BETTER IN OVERALL. YOUR SUGGESTION IS VALUABLE AS I'M GONNA BUY ONE BETWEEN THE TWO.
I can't wait to see what I can do with this plugged into my focusrite scarret into logic X pro!
Hi Jeremy, I am seriously considering purchasing your full course for learning to play keyboards but I have one question that I really can't find an answer to: I own a YAMAHA Reface CP and I REALLY would like to learn to play on that (Yes I know its probably better to have a 61 key keyboard etc) but do you think I can learn chords, finger positioning etc on a key-bed that is the size of the Reface CP? Thanks a lot!
You definitely can, but you'll quickly get frustrated with its size if you go on to learning to play pieces and learning to read sheet music.
Just for chords it's good enough as a starting point.
Nice one, but for portability I would go with Casio CT-S1 instead. This one is a bit too long with the speakers on both sides, way too long to move around for small kids!!! Actually the length of this keyboard is the same as if you would have 88 keys keyboard.... With Casio CT-S1 we can put it on our kitchen table and our kids can play along while I am preparing dinner for everyone!
Yup if 61 keys are enough CT-S1 works great.
I am glad I have the N2, but this new is intriguing!
What is the connection to jammers like? Are the keys counter sunk and heavier like a real piano as opposed to clacky?
I am Very new and beginner to piano with zero knowledge. I play acoustic guitar on beginner level. I was planning to buy Casio CT S1, after this video now am confused. Jeremy can you suggest me pls Which will be best?
Which is better for beginner Yamaha psrA350 or Roland ex30??
Hey mate, I am planning to get my 4 year old her first piano so she can start taking lessons. Will greatly appreciate your view if Yamaha p-105 will be good for the purpose? Much appreciated! Thank you.
Ok, now I’m confused, as a completed beginner would you get this or a EZ-300?
Yamaha NP 15 or Casio Ct S1?
Hi, Jeremy. It's been a long time and I hope you're doing well. Maybe I'm out of order, but I have a question to ask and I want the answer only from you.
CASIO PRIVIA PX 560 - Is it still worth to buy today. Has the version been upgraded for the rythms, voices and sound.
I'd like very much to have your opinion. Many Thanks. JPGJAZZ.
Hi Jeremy! Okay I used to play the piano (I owned a Yamaha P45 once, like ten years ago). I haven’t been playing the piano since, but this year I want to get a piano in my room. I’m kind of torn between the Yamaha Piaggero or should I get the P45 again? I’m looking for a keyboard that’s suitable for hobby playing and also perhaps practising, since I haven’t played in a long time. Would love to hear some words from you! 🙏🏼
Sounds good. Thank you Jeremy. André from SA
Wonder why they knocked it down to 76 key and not 88
Please test the eletric piano Gewa PP-3, it´s a entry level piano with very good specs!!!
I enjoyed it. Great to have in any home 😎
Excellent job ❤
I’ve been a Yamaha keyboard customer for over twenty years. 👍🏽
This sounds nicer than my $1500 Korg Krome (but maybe that's my speaker? it does sound better when I use headphones.. but I'm afraid to use headphones now since over the years (it's 10 years old) some of the keys randomly play at max velocity volume. )
Sir is this better than Ct s1? Which one you'd recommened?
I was really starting to get excited, but that piano is not available in my country (Mexico). Will it be worth paying $150 dollars (plus $389 worth piano, for a total of $589) for shipping, or would it be better to buy the donner dep 20 ($450)? (donner is available here in Mexico)
Hi Jeremy. I need a keyboard to practice during traveling. Will be away from home for 3-4 months multiple times in the next few years (not related to music performance) and as I can't bring my digital piano, I need something to practice on in my free time. What would you choose between NP-35 and Korg Liano? Seems like they are almost the same lenght (as Yamaha has speakers on the side), similar weight and price.
Jeremy please reply..which keyboards keypad is more durable and quiet..korg ek 50, casio ct-s500, korg liano, casio ct-s400 vs ct-s1, yamaha np 35, yamaha psr-e473, yamaha ew425. What is your personal opinion?........
So can you recommend this for beginners who wanted to learn an Johannus Organ or an ordinary Organ?
Is it recommended for beginners?
How do you feel about the np15?
Do I buy this instead or Arturia Keylab MK3 61 instead?
I want to primarily do music production
And the review is too general. How the capability of MIDI compared to midi keyboard?
Hi!! I'd like to purchase a digital piano. It can't be above $330 because i just can't afford it. I'm an intermediate piano player and until now i've been plaing a yamaha PSRE353. I would like a 88 key, better polyphony and sound quality, weighted key piano. Right now I am thinking about the KORG Liano. What do you think about it? Is it great quality? And are the keys loud?
The DX e.piano on the NP32 is the Cool! Galaxy e.piano compared to the one on the NP35 which is Sweet DX
Thanks for sharing!
Is it good for beginners music production?
Is that a smart choice to go from Roland Go:Piano to NP35? Just looking for a better sound keyboard. I mostly playing pop songs and sing.
how it sounds and feel this keyboard, comparing to Roland FP-10/ 35 ?
@Jeremy See if we take Yamaha PSR E373 and Yamaha PSR I 300, which one you will suggest..
What about Yamaha PSR 420... do you think it is a quality piano?
Please make a review of the Roland E-X10
Do you feel like the Grand Piano Sound is better than on the EW-310?
According to your experience, what is the best 5 octave keyboard for just playing the piano?
Would you kindly made a video on Yamaha PSR e473 vs Piaggero NP-35 , with all the pros and cons. Can both of them produce music?
I have 2 piagierros and they are the BEST piano sounds.
