I finally made the jump from my 4 year old Casio CDPS100 to this. I ordered the AP470 two days ago and I am waiting to meet the box of my next piano, which is indeed an insane deal to its price.
Thanks to my dad and grandpa for it ofc. I love playing piano and this will greatly improve my experience studying and using this piano for personal recitals or different events.
Good review too. Thanks for the video!
Just bought this! Thank you for sharing your review :)
Thank you so much 👍Jeremy See always in my preference for piano, keyboard
I own a similar one PX770, and I agree with all these points! Still a fun one to play and looks nice 👍. USB to PC has been really nice this summer in quarantine. Love the textured keys. Mine is holding up well I’m happy with it. I love your reviews and music! Great review and channel Jeremy! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! 😍
Are the keys Noisy?
Excelent review. Thank you!
Beautiful piano! very professional! i'm buy it
Omg you're the best! This is the video i've been waiting for so many time! Thank you!
Another great video. You always bring out points, details and perspectives well, and so well organized and presented.
I didnt check the links in the description, nor did I recall the price mentioned. As always, this can be the biggest determining factor to anyone, whether it is worth getting for that particular individual due to their unique perceptions, likes, ear, budget, how much they are willings to spend, and several other contributing factors, particularly for the format of this particular type of instrument.
Many of us older ones grew up with traditional upright acoustic pianos in this format, some with baby grand, or standard grand pianos.
It is always nice to have one of these if it is desired for those that want the traditional ambience and nostalgic coziness it provides.
But in this day and age, especially with advancement in technology, availability of space, budget, practicality and such, traditional pianis are not feasible for many. One is with often living in closer proximity to others, you csnnot play at all hours of the day or night without disturbing others, and such.
Secondly, besides additional cost for the console or grand piano, whether acoustic or electronic is not an endearing factor.
And the bulk, or weight, and where it has to go, such as up stairs, narrow passages and in transit can be damaged, or cause damage to other things. Not every moving crew, even those that claim to specialize in such is at the level of those that transport the uber expensive grand pisnos costing up to several thousands of dollars.
Some people have small places, or move often, live in hilly areas or not easily accessible as mentioned, so those other electronic digital pianos, even with the furniture stands available for some are much more practical, affordable, and easy to move, often without assistance from others. I think you get the point.
With that being said, back to this instrument review. I think this is great, but white is always my last choice of color for these keyboards.
Innovative features and design from a company that started with little digital wristwatches, and prehistoric tech early small electronic keyboards. I had a few, including a very early, very basic, i believe 3 octave one with very few tones, or only one. I don’t remember. Yet, in good condition, that vintage instrument may be worth a lot today. I now wear a recently acquired Casio G Shock type watch with reverse blackout display that matches my phone and styling preference I prefer over even the fancy smart watches and other much more expensive traditional watches that I like, but would rather have another keyboard, music/sound gear, or other tech device. Thanks, Casio.
I really liked the upper model of the digital Casio piano that came out a few years ago and an awesome price, and was seriously considering it over the Roland ones at the time. But as you reviewed back then, it was not perfect. I think thise were the first videos I saw and discovered you on RUclips.
Anyway, yes, this it nice, with innovative features, design, and great sounds and keys/action. But, all the companies have done well, even those very affordable ones you reviewed recently. The sound is subjective, but you can't lose with all the choices and price ranges that make having decent sounds, and weighted 88 keys affordable.
Like I mentioned previously, for the masses, they coukd be satisfied with a much less expensive portable like those you reviewed. But for those wanting the more traditional ferl and format, this is rrally nice. But I think you know where I am going with this.
To me, Casio has come keaps and bounds to be on the level of the other greats, Roland, Yamaha, Nord, Korg, Alesis, etc. Choose your weapon.
For ultimate sound of traditional acoustic electric pianos and other keyboard instruments, nothing comes close to the Spectrasonics Keyscapes software sweet. But that is subject to the controller keyboard, computer, and amplification, and more suited for those at advanced levels.
Yamaha has caught my attention in recent years to be consideration for purchases from the little Reface CP, to the PSR-E373 and niw DGX-670.
They have so many great and very affordable keyboards. And for the professional level instruments, are at the top tier with the others for sound realism and all the other factors. They made a home run in the early 1980's with the legendary DX7.
But IMHO, Roland is still my first preference, even for more money. Compared to this Casio, as great as it is, you recognuzed it's hard to compare to the Roland PH-4 action available in most of their FP series keyboards and the RD 88, which I have returned to as my most desired keyboard now. And like you stated, it may be even more preferable to many to Roland's top keyboard action in the flagship RD 2000 stage piano, FP-90, Fantom 8 flagship workstation, and many of their other 88 key synths, workstatiins and top tier console digital pianos like this Casio.
This may be just what someone may want, and be willing to acquire.
But it's all in the details, design, features, feel, appearance, ease of use, learning, UI, price and availability.
Right now, my Go:Keys will do the job. It's not perfect. The sounds are great, and so many different variation of pianos and other instruments, innovative features and such, but it has its drawbacks.
61 keys; but mostly no way to change octaves, patches and other settings on the fly while playing. But for what I need now, it is fine. It is a budget version of the Juno DS61 workstation. For that, I was looking at the Roland V Combo VR-09. That was what I was considering, but the Go:Keys was more affordable. But it was what I would get until the RD 88 came out, and much more for a few hundred dollars more. But the V Combo would still be my choice if I needed a gigging keyboard without 88 keys. The sounds of that and the RD 88 is much better. And tge latter is a good conpromise for me in lieu of the Keyscapes, since I am not as heavy into tweaking all the sounds at that level. I have my JD-Xi to do that, and the RD 88 has that capability, especially with the multi platform Zen Core sound engine. And fir acoustic and electric pianos, it's hard to beat Roland's Supernatural sound engine technology.
Amazing the wealth of experience you have, buddy! Thanks for sharing.
Seus vídeos são excelentes... sou do BRASIL... ainda bem que o RUclips permite a tradução.... Obrigado e parabéns!
estou feliz em ajudar
Nice review sir Jeremy :)
Superb Review!!!
Very nice, complete, and helpfully review. The Casio ap470 have interesting features for the piano lovers. The texture and key action are near a real but not so close. Thanks you Jeremy, for yours reviews.
Greetings from 🗿Chile 🇨🇱
Thanks for watching.
@@JeremySee can you please review WK 7600 from Casio and compare it with korg ek 50
Thanks for the great review! Did you like it more than the PX-870? I remember very favourable reviews regarding the PX coming from you, would you now say that the AP-470 is a better choice?
Sir I really appreciate your content and your helpful reviews sir does the CTX 700 lacking the pitch bend wheel becomes a deal breaker as compared to CTS 300 having a pitch bend wheel for a 'beginner' ?
Pls reply
With due respect
Tejas.
very helpful thank you
Good review and advice! Thanks Jeremy
Thank you for your support Frank.
Hi Jeremy..enjoy your videos. Have you done a comparison between Yamaha dgx670 and Casio PX780?
In your opinion which is better?
Hiii! Greetings from Philippines🇵🇭
Omgggg! thank you so much, Jeremy for the review! It helps me a lot!
I'm happy you found it useful.
Nice review
Hands down the best piano review I've seen to date. Thank you.
Hey, great review!
How does the action compare to the Corg D1 in your opinion? I know those are completely different instruments, but nonetheless :)
impressive review, and casio sound quality...
Yesterday went to bras basah complex popular bookstore saw this AP 470 selling $1099 but I been told by the sale person this $1099 is a displays set(black color) the original price is $1799, i have press every piano keys found that is is ok and i bought it. The sale person also help me to do some simple cleaning on the piano and wrap it up, the delivery only on next Wednesday the sale person told me. Actually I was thinking buying the Roland RP 501r 😅 but when I saw this AP470 feeling the design also quite nice and also the price is affordable 😆 🎹 🎹 🎹
Is this series digital piano same keybed as cdp series sir? This great for home piano but still using electric power, and cost a little space but have a great sound
Brilliant video. Thank you! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Can the USB port be used to play mp3 backing tracks, or it is for recording playback only?
hey I bought this today and keys are little up down if I check side view. Is it same way or something wrong with my unit
Sir can you make a video how you updated the firmware of cts 200 my version is still 1.02
HI, you think this is a good piano to star study? the action is credible? im betwen this and the LP380 from KORG (or C1 Air in the same price of the casio). What action is best?
Nice playing
Nice and warm sample of electric piano
Better than expected
Indeed!
Thanks for the review. 👍 The strings voices don't seem to sound good. Or am I mistaken? I love piano+strings layer.
My AP-470 has delivered this afternoon, when I press the keys of AP-470 feel abit different from P-45 😅 haha and the sound quality is very good compared to P-45 🎹 🔊 👍👍👍
Have you tried your hands on Roland RP102? I got an offer online at the same price, I went on to buy RP102. I wonder if I had made a mistake. Piano sound and its key feel weight most important to me.
Could you please tell me, is the sound good? And do the keys make a lot of noise when you wiggle/press on them?
Can i use it as a midi keyboard and connect to daw on my MacBook?
Hola amigo todavia recomiendas este modelo en 2024?
I love about how you decorated the piano and it comes in white so it looks more pretty.
Thank you for your kind words! 😊
Yeah the blue light from behind looks awesome
Do you think the casio celviano ap-270 has a big difference?
is it possible to use midi? (connect it to a pc and play as midi controller?)
Is the tuning a bit off on the piano sounds on the AP470???
Jeremy now u have 2 kinda similar looking console DPs...Ur white clavinova and now this one...Nd great video as always ❤️
😉 white is my favourite colour!
can you please review WK 7600 from Casio and compare it with korg ek 50
How would this compare to the Kawai KDP120?
Sir Which keyboard is sound sterio is good?Please tell me!
How is it compared to Korg G1 Air or C1 Air Action and sound?
I recently bought the Casio AP 470 to replace my Kawai ES110 because I don't love Kawai's action. Monumental mistake, I returned it after a few days.....
Casio AP 470 was more expensive and the action was indeed better, but the sound....oh boy the sound. It sounds like a pop piano, not one made to play classical pieces. That's the best way to describe it shortly.
The long version is that it sounds like a V shaped headphone, bassy and bright but the mids of the sound are dulled. Also has incredibly long digital sustain, which makes it sound muddy. And a ton of other problems, like the bass notes sound much louder than the rest.
Once I played Moonlight Sonata, Gymnopedie no 1, etc. on it, I figured instantly it sounded WRONG. All 6 piano variations are the same kind of bad, the sound cannot be fixed with the settings.
I know it's not oblivious in these youtube videos, because they always play those jazzy improvisations instead of reference pieces. I think that's exactly why they do it, every piano sounds decent to great like that 🤔.
In comparison, Kawai ES110 sound is extremely natural, like the recording of a great piano. The action is so-so, but at this prince point there is no better sound. Seems like I will have to keep it until I am ready to spend 2x more on a Kawai ES520 or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for your opinion, I was thinking of buying the ap 470, more for the action. I really wish they made professional classical pianists play the digital pianos to show that they are suited for classical repertoire. Not all that jazzy stuff......
hahaha the Kawaii ES110 has a very simple and horrendous sound, it looks like a toy.
@@tatianagalindo9855 Where’d you get that opinion from?
How would you rate Roland RP102 compared to Kawai ES110 and Casio AP470?
Are the sounds on AP-270 same as here?
Is it still worth it to buy this? Because in my country the price is half of the original price
Sir Roland is also good or not?Yamaha keyboard also i think good sound and sterio!
do you recommend that piano for beginners? I’m thinking about getting the Casio CDP-S100 or this piano. Can you help me pick?
Which one did you eventually buy?
Casio's engeneers did unbelievable for modest price...very good piano!
Due to my budget issues, I am planning to go for Casio AP 270 Celviano, but I read that it doesn't support MIDI connection to laptop/desktop ? Is it true ? :(
same issue brother, so did you bought it or some another one ??
Casio has really improved in recent years. I think they still have a way to go.
How about the other casio keyboards? I miss those vintage ones?
@@Bettybop378 In my opinion they alright if you're a little nostalgic, but some of the sound i.e piano sounds are horrible.
I think they have arrived. This is the middle of the line in this sector they have even more advance options in the upper price ranges.
hello, please help me, I have an ap 470, and I would like another piano for study and small stages, I'm in doubt between the korg D1, and the casio privia px s3100, which would be better in general? thanks!
Korg
Jeremy Sir Casio AP 470 vs Yamaha ydp 164. Which is better in terms of Piano Sound?
casio
@@tatianagalindo9855 What is better buy ap 470 or ap 650?
After playing both acoustic and digital Piano. I can say that he fluidity in sound of an acoustic is almost impossible to replicate in digital platform.
Just curious, which digital pianos? Not saying it's not true, otherwise the price difference would be meaningless, but there is such a wide range of sound quality in digital pianos that it's meaningless to compare as a whole.
For example, I briefly had this AP 470 in the video, before I immediately returned it because it sounded like a pop piano, not a classical one. Far too unnatural and edited sound. Right now I own Kawai ES110 and it sounds like the best recording of a grand piano you can listen to.
Almost. I wouldnsay Roland and Yamaha come the closest for physical instruments, but have you heard of the Spectrasonics Keyscapes software suite? Go listen to it on the RUclips videos.
It's true they are not the same, but I much prefer owning a good digital.
Is this better than PX-870?
Thank you. 👍♥️🙏
I appreciate you watching.
@@JeremySee Don't worry, Sifu, I'll be watching your videos always. 🤣💪💪💪💐❤
Is this piano for advanced players???
Hey , Mr.Jeremy can you please review Kurzweil brand ? I am considering the Ka-90 but I need your insight as an expert on the matter , Thank you .
Unfortunately, Kurzweil is not distributed where I live and Kurzweil marketing department has not got in touch with me.
@@JeremySee Ok thank you , no problem , I love your videos by the way .
Are the keys weighted
Is the audio from the default speakers of the piano? Hope you respond. Love from romania 🇷🇴
I’m pretty sure the sound was captured from the speakers and not through inline connections
this or ydp 164 ? where the sound and keys are more realistic. Or is ap 710 the best of all ?
Have you found an answer? I'm between the ydp and this
Any update?
I am looking at buying a Casio AP-500, they want $400. Is it worth it?
I have casio AP-460. Conclusion from me: buy other brand.
1. I had casio PX-150 before, sounded better than AP-460.
2. If I use VST, the AP-460 can't replicate a no sound key press(if you press key very slowly to the bottom, a piano should not produce any sound), which a far cheaper PX-150 can do.
3. After about 1,5years, keys become super noisy when going back up to its position. So noisy, I can't even concentrate if I don't use headphone.
4. Speaker most of the time doesn't work as if a headphone still plugged in.
Jerimy sir i want to buying how can we comunicate?
How about Casio AP 450?
Two things put me off at first glance, the not so good quality of the other sounds (not counting the pianos) and even worse, the keys that move horizontally.
I played the AP270 about two years ago in a store here in Peru, but I don't remember the keys being so loose. Hopefully Casio improves this.
I briefly owned AP 470 and I can say that the aciton is great and the loose problem is almost non-existent. For example, Roland's main PHA-4 action has far more side-to-side movement, I returned one because of that. I returned the AP 470 too, but not because of the action, but the sound is the worst of any piano I ever bought. So muddy and thin....
@@Leonhart_93
I am curious as to what you replaced the AP 470 with??? This was on my short list, but your comment makes me have pause.
Hallo guys what one could your recommend? This oder the Yamaha Arius YDP-144?
I don’t like the Yamaha digital pianos(acoustic Yahamahas are amazing!) so I would go with Casio
Yes yamaha better but take ydp 165
Triple sensor
Can you put psr 47 review
I have this piano
Spetacullar!!
Casio AP 470 vs Kawai CA 67, which one is better? Thanks in advance!
In my opinion, kawai CA67 is a best p/p digital piano. Stunning key action, beautiful warming and rich sound of kawai. Wooden and ivory keys also a advantage. You cannot go wrong with CA67.
@@thuctran7286 hahaha WTF ? CASIO Ap470 is best 💎
@@AS01SDNyou must be kidding 😂
@@AS01SDN are you crazy
I've bought this piano, and occasionally bought other Casios over the years, along with other members of my family. It's more of a situation whereby we've always bought Casio calculators and then always bought Casio pianos without actually looking at any other brand.
Probably Casio falls into that realm of "not great, not bad".
However, Casio uses some cheap-ass particleboard for almost all their pianos, and it's as bad as IKEA furniture for moving. Now for me it isn't a big deal since I have a very small wood shop, and this Casio piano is entirely modular whereby the top slides off the particleboard stand, but if you're not cutting your own wood you should probably stay away from any particle board piano.
Thanks for sharing. My sentiments on the particle board too. 😉
Do they use those cheap components on their grand hybrids like GP310, GP510?
Jeremy! Do you think Korg LP 380 is better than Casio ap 260?
Review mayga piano please!!!
i am thinking of buying casio ap 270, is it a good buy?
Which on is better AP-470 or PX 870 ?
I explained the difference in the video.
ROLAND piano.. hp 702 ,hp 704,hp 701,rp701,
where is the bluethooth buttons? gray buttons
My piano doesn't have any button like those that he showed in this video, and, my piano is the same, I don't get it ):
Bruh he has it in white colour what is ur instruments colour? Maybe it depends on that
For me personally, a product like this doesn't make much sense. A digital piano trying to look like an acoustic piano but not an acoustic piano. I would just buy a better sounding acoustic piano if that is the look I wanted. For the price, I could get a more capable stage piano with more features that takes up less space such as the Casio PX-560M. These machines seem to be about astetics but don't have the astetics of an upright. They look cheap compared to a real upright piano. I just don't get this segment of the market.
Personally, would just leap frog pianos in this segment and buy an upright acoustic piano. I would buy a real piano and a good stage piano but not what exists in between the two. This product is not for me. Surely people buy them but I'm left scratching my head as to why. They look cheap and have less functionality to a stage piano for more money.
Good review.
Because most people who have owned an upright acoustic piano have gradually but almost entirely transitioned to an upright digital OR a baby grand piano. Nowdays you can't even give away an upright acoustic although baby grands have become the de facto acoustic piano.
I think the extremely strong drive for people to replace their acoustics with digital doesn't come from piano players but the people living around them, as digital pianos have volume control or headsets so one can play as hard or as soft as one wants. Even the most accomplished concert pianist is absolutely dreadful to be around during practice.
I can explain, in addition to what the person above me already said.
I can totally afford an upright. Then why I won't buy one?
The weight, I will be totally unable to move it on my own.
The volume, my apartment doesn't allow it.
The inability to lower the sound volume or use headphones. It would be impossible to practice for long or at 11 AM.
Requires periodic tuning, which is not cheap. I would rather save those money and get a better piano.
Doesn't have several piano sounds variations. There are some pieces that sound better on a mellow piano and some that sound better on a brighter one.
You cannot record the sound instantly, you will need microphones for an acoustic.
....and several more, you get the idea.
Budget is the main reason, I wished to buy a silent acoustic but I can't afford it when it's used nor the shipping and regular tuning but surely Acoustics from a console like Charles Walter (I'd die to get one even used) Upto Kawai-300 or Yamaha U1
"Media Offline" ....so thats what I was playing and pausing the video for 5mins for now xD
To me Casio will always be "little brother" to Yamaha.
Hahahah, the stupidest comment of 2021. Casio has already surpassed Yamaha/Korg/Roland since it launched its line of hybrid pianos, which in terms of sensitivity and counterweight (action) is superior.
@@AS01SDNstill they don't have an escapement on their top GP-510 Bechstein Action 😤
@@AS01SDN
For hybrid piano . First brand starting is kawai
No home piano is worth the money! A portable with a stand is better. As electronics advance you have an obsolete piece of furniture.
Good point, I felt that when I needed to return the AP 470.
