Bedankt voor deze review,zo kun je de piano tenminste in het echt horen.
Je speelt trouwens erg mooi zo hoort een recensie te zijn top.
Ik heb de Casio gp510 nu zelf en ben erg tevreden over deze aankoop
This was a great review and wonderful playing!!
Very good review, played amazingly! It made clear to see and listen the nuances of this piano.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing performance you reallly did! I was impressed by the Berlin sound with a really nice cover of the Mendelssohn piece.
This is definitely the best video to show up the quality of this DP which I missed to choose against the Kawai CA-79 but , I thinks , is pretty near the best choice. hands claps. Thanks. ThM
We often have people play the CA-79 and the GP-510, going back and forth. Some will choose one or the other, but yes, very relevant to compare the two.
Great video. Thanks for showing the mic'd up sound rather than the tired internal sounds! Also thanks for demoing the dynamics. I think I liked the Berlin the best. I'm not sure how it is in person, but the middle range of the other two voices sounds unconvincing.
Thanks for watching! Each of these grand piano voices has 3 main preset voicings - default, mellow and bright. I played all three on the default voicing in this video, and in my opinion I like the default Berlin the best as well with the Hamburg as a close second. However, setting the Vienna and Hamburg to "bright" really livens up the sound and makes these two grands sound many times better and more authentic than the default voicing in my opinion. Perhaps I'll show these differences in a future video :) -Max
I love casio pianos.
The GP-510 is a fantastic hybrid. Glad you like them too!
Very beautiful
I like the hambourg😁
Could you please do a review in Casio Ap470
I have bought this piano and I'd like to see how would you comment on that 👍🏻
Thanks! I'll probably be making a Casio AP470 review in the near future!
@@familypianoco perfect 👌🏻
I'd like to see it😊😊
Hey Max! Out of Kawai CA79 and Casio GP510, which one's action you liked more?
Hi Azulian! For me, I preferred the Kawai CA79's action - it's highly realistic, very smooth, lightweight but easily controllable and very expressive. The keytop feel is luxurious as well and overall suits my playing style the best of any digital piano I've tried so far which is why I chose to buy it myself - I've had no regrets! I also love the sound quality (both for piano voices and other instruments - strings and organ voices tend to be most important to me and I think Kawai does them excellently), touchscreen interface, and overall aesthetic. I'm definitely a bit biased though as I regularly practice on Kawai acoustics as well so there's more familiarity for me there. They're both very top-notch digital pianos and I can appreciate the GP510 as well! Depending on your personal preferences and playing style, you might enjoy the GP510 more - the action certainly has a certain springy, energetic feel that is quite satisfying and I've seen some really fantastic piano players choose the GP510 over the CA79/99. Hopefully you can find an opportunity to try them out yourself back to back! -Max
@@familypianoco Thanks Max! It was very helpful.
Are you going to compare it with kawai ca99? :) I wonder which action feels more like acoustic grand. I Bet sound is a bit better at kawai, but the keyboard itself looks really interesting.
As soon as we can get our hands on another CA99, that sounds like a fun demo to shoot. :)
I'm sure that I shall prefer all three of these piano samples to the Kawai SK-EX, but the CA99 may have other advantages.
Many viewers would not agree with me, but one thing is admiring Kawai's SK-EX samples from afar, or playing pretty music on them yourself, and another would be putting one in a heated battle with a CFX or Steinway D sample. The low mids sing clearly on Yamahas and Steinways.
I have just read a post from a disappointed Kawai customer who didn't realise how muddy the SK-EX samples can get. But there are many happy Kawai customers too: What works for you, works for you. Myself, I'm particularly delighted with the Yamaha and Steinway samples I've heard and played. Yamaha does need to improve its plastic actions though.
And Casio has made a clever move aligning itself with Germanic pianos. Bechstein actions are renowned, and Bechsteins sound lovely too.
Update: I tried a CA99 recently and I was a bit underwhelmed. I thought the action would be fantastic, but it was rather light, and so like the cheaper plastic actions.
Casio is obviously superior in sound with its 6 speakers and hybrid keys.
@@Zoco101 indeed. I have a Kawai GL10 I got brand new a year ago. Love it. Went in to buy a Kawai K500 upright and ended up getting the GL10 baby grand after playing them back to back for an hour. Love the action and tone. Got a great deal. 10k out the door for the brand new Kawai GL10 with tax and delivery included. I also have a Yamaha P515 for taking around if needed (I RARELY use it and never actually had to take out),I recently went to purchase a KawaiCA99 at a huge discount from a Kawai dealer and they also had a CasioGP510 and I much preferred the action on it. Felt almost as good as my Kawai GL10 baby grand so I ended up getting the CasioGP510 instead (also at a huge discount)! It was delivered today an hour ago and I am happy now with the Kawai GL10, CasioGP510, and Yamaha P515. What started it all was the Kawai ES520 I got Christmas 2021. I loved that so much I had to get a real Kawai piano and that’s what led me to the Kawai GL10. Then I sold the Kawai ES520 for a Yamaha P515 and now I just added CasioGP510 to the collection. Ideally in the near future I would like to upgrade my Kawai GL10 to a Kawai GL30 or Kawai GX1 Classic Grand but we just moved to a medium apartment and short on money.
Before all of these pianos I had a Charles R Walter upright and a Yamaha P255. Also got into the guitar world and got a Cordoba C9 and a Taylor 414R. I just need to find a good instructor for the guitar as I haven’t been playing the guitars and need motivation and guidance. But believe me when I say the CasioGP510 is better than the Kawai CA99 and this is coming from a true Kawai lover. The action on the CasioGP510 is out of this 🌍 good
Between this one and clp745 from Yamaha, with one do you think it have a "better",clear piano sound?
And Gp310
The action, sound.
GP-510 is the upgraded version of the GP-310. Uses the same action, but has more features and upgraded speakers.
Now to be perfectly honest, I don't believe any of us have played that specific Yamaha model. But I'm inclined to think the GP-510 would win again. It's newer, has a technically-superior action, and is just realllllyyyyy well-engineered. A more fair comparison would be the Yamaha NU1X.
--Drew, 👪🎹
How is this action compared to the kawai's grand feel III ? thank you!
Hard to explain feel over text, and it's very subjective of course. I prefer the GFIII, and I feel it's more realistic. This isn't super unexpected given it's newer and Kawai makes acoustic pianos where Casio doesn't. That said, I know people who like the bounce and balance of the Casio GP Series. You can fine tune the settings on both pianos to better match your liking too!
@@familypianocobut the Kawai GF3 action is much lighter, right? So, how can it be more realistic being lighter?
Max, I need your advice! Here in Brazil the clp-775 , ca-79 and gp-510 cost the same amount. Which one do you think is a better option to study classical piano?
Max personally chose a Kawai CA-79 for his home, which is what he plays on for hours every day and is very happy with!
@@familypianoco I appreciated your kind reply!
Which would be more suitable for highly advanced classical playing between this Casio GP510 and the Kawai CA701? Also, is it a problem that the 510 doesn't simulate escarpment?
Hi Giulia, they both have a very good but different-feeling action feel. For your purposes of advanced level classical playing, I personally prefer Kawai's Grand Feel III. I'd say about 90% of classical pianists who I have shown both digital pianos to in person prefer the Kawai Grand Feel III touch and also feel the sound quality to be more realistic and satisfying. The sound quality being better on the Kawai CA701 has been a common consensus of the vast majority of customers I've worked with. Ultimately it does come down to personal preference and I've tended to see a divide where jazz players have slightly preferred the Casio, its action seems to work very well for big chord leaps and has a great energetic feeling to it. And yes, I'd say no simulating escapement on the GP510 is not so ideal for very advanced classical playing - it's not a huge deal breaker alone, but it's a little bit of realism that the Casio GP-510 does not do and for your purposes, realism of touch is going to be a huge deal. Hope this helps -Max
@@familypianoco hello, thanks for replying. I have to say that today in two showrooms, I tried the CA 701/901, the old CA99 (the only one left to sell), and the Casio GP510. I'm very very disappointed of the Kawai lightness. Although the sound is nice,.warm, of fullness and nicer than what you hear on RUclips videos; the action is really, incredibly light. Too much lighter than the average acoustic grand pianos. The 99 is a bit less lighter than the 701/901, and even the sound is much better than the successors, but still light. The Casio GP510: the sound is not bad at all, better and nicer than I thought, less nice than the Kawai, but the action/weight is heavier than the Kawai, and seems more realistic, nearer to an acoustic. The GP510 has a very good responsiveness also. But it's made with the polished one only, so it costs around £500/400 more. You state it's up the preferences, but the light weight, and lighter than the acoustic ones, is a fact. It's hard to believe that the Kawai lightness is not going to affect the performance on the acoustic grand pianos that there are at the exam such as the LCTL Trinity College diploma recital exam. I'm so upset and disappointed by the extreme lightness of the Grand Feel 3 of the the Kawai CA 701/901. Really it seems a toy not a piano, and the repetition of the notes I thought was better either. (I also tried the Kawai novus, utterly light too. At that price, I believe it's unacceptable. I'm so upset because I can't afford more expensive than these 😭🥺
(I hope you'll read this and maybe express an expert opinion on my feedback)
@@verymozart
Casio gp 310 have the same action and sound system as the gp 510. The difference is the color and the setting. The Casio gp is cheaper.
@@verymozart
The Casio gp 310 is cheaper.
Hi, I'm considering buying this hybrid piano, and I'm wondering if I could use headphones when playing it, so I wouldn't bother my neighbors. Please let me know if you could. Thank you so much!
Hello there! You sure can! In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a current digital piano you CAN'T use headphones for, it's a standard feature these days. :)
@@familypianoco thank you so much for this info!!

Hello again! I'm sorry these digitals did not live up to your expectations - I really like them but each and every one of us pianists are unique with our own preferences and I definitely don't want anyone to get an instrument they don't like the touch of - that wouldn't be to anyone's benefit. In terms of not liking the Kawai Novus' action - its Millenium III action is almost exactly like the acoustic K-series' Millenium action with the only real difference being carbon fiber simulated hammer heads instead of felt and not hitting actual strings which makes for a rather slight touch difference. The nice thing is that a technician can actually adjust the action according to player's preferences just as they can on an acoustic upright. The touch of the Novus is almost exactly the same as the K-series uprights, so I would go as far as to suggest you likely wouldn't enjoy those on average either.
I'd say close to 80-90% of the pianists I've worked with in person have preferred the touch of the Kawai CA701/901 over the Casio GP-510 which unfortunately means you seem to be in the minority for touch preferences (unfortunate for you as piano brands from a business standpoint understandably try to produce an action feel that the most amount of pianists will enjoy - large amounts of consumer testing goes into their decision making processes on this). I like both but am definitely biased in favor of the Kawai's on account of putting so many practice hours on my own. I've tried both back to back many times and definitely see what you mean about the weighting, it is objectively firmer than the Kawai's which makes sense given the design of the action having a simulated hammer. Essentially, until a digital piano basically has a full grand style action, there will be touch differences from actual acoustic grands.
However, for your purposes, needing to study for your exams, needing a digital/silent component, and having a strong preference/requirement for a heavy key-weighting and budget constraints, it's definitely a tough situation. A few suggestions: The Casio GP-310 has the same exact action as the GP-510 and is less expensive, I'd look into that. Another option that might be within your budget range could be finding a used upright piano with a silent system on it - even though it's an upright vs. a grand piano, having a full acoustic action with real hammers and a technician adjustable action could get you even closer where you'd like to be in terms of touch. You can also look into other digital piano brands whose products I'm much less familiar with. At the end of the day, I like to help people find pianos that work best for them and make them happy and I hope you're able to find something that works best for you! -Max
@@familypianoco thank for your reply! I can only repeat that the first time I touched the Casio GP510 was impressed from how it felt to my fingers an action more near to an acoustic grand piano (half coda), not even an acoustic upright (I can't take an acoustic anyway). What confuses me is that I can't understand why some dealers/reviewers keep advising to take the Kawai instead of the GP510. Preferences are subjective, but the weight of the action with a firmer touch than the Kawai is a fact not an opinion. So I don't get which is the reason why the GP 510 shouldn't be suitable for studying and passing the exam, or why it would be less suitable than the Kawai. Honestly I don't get it. And I don't see that the problem is how many buyers prefer which model. The issue is the same, which digital between Kawai and Casio is the most suitable for the exam? I'm not a fan of an heavy or light touch, I just need to know which would be more suitable. And you wrote it : it's a requirement, not a preference. (The 310 I know is cheaper and has the same action, but I can say the sound is not the same, is somehow weaker than the 310. Also if I'm not wrong you can't save the settings on the 310. So if is the Casio I will go for the 510). About the sound of 510 seemed better the sound on RUclips videos than in person. But I suppose that might depend on the settings also. Again, I don't get what for you would be wrong with the 510 in order to study and pass the exam. I can't see the Kawai to better for this need. Except the 99 that is slightly less light than the others above mentioned models, they are extremely of a light touch. I couldn't played the Novus NVs5 because there wasn't. But anyway I would afford the price.
(PS about the buyers preferences, I read I read in different piano forums that many recognise the action of the Casio GP 510 to be definetly to be superior than the GF3 of the Kawai And many express the issue of the lightness of the Kawai CA 79/701/99/901. I found by accident a RUclips video where the predecessor Casio GP500 was used in a concert at the Berliner Philharmoniker and it was actually a great result . I can share the link of the video if You like. ..)
I love this piano, I own it but I really don't understand what's up with the "full length" piano keys marketing. They're not as long as an acoustic piano keystick
Thanks for your comment! I broke out the action models to get to the bottom of this and the GP-510's keysticks are the exact same length as an acoustic *upright* piano's keysticks, but a few inches shorter than a traditional grand piano's keysticks. However, the action mechanisms are more analogous in design to a grand piano's action than an upright piano's action. I agree, they should be more exact with their phrasing. -Max
It's a litttle cheaper than a Roland LX-708, and decidedly cheaper than a Yamaha NU-1X. Seems to perform better than those pianos too (very impressive in this demo) but which piano will last the longest? How good are the cabinets?
Hard question to answer. Honestly, only time will tell. The manufacturers all stand by the pianos for at least 5 years, judging by the warranties. Roland gets 10 which might say something. But I think they're all well-built and made by reputable companies, and I can also say the engineering on the GP-510 is quite special in my opinion. --Drew, 👪🎹
