Because of the lock down, I started taking piano lessons at age 50s with prior music knowledge from my childhood. I also purchased a brand new Kawai GL10 after I watched your videos. I’m very committed to learn and I practice 1-2 hours very day. I guess because of the lock down, I have learned things that I never thought I would learn in my life. Thanks for all your videos. Happy 4th 🎆.
That is awesome Amy!! I loved reading that message, and I wish you the very best with your new GL10. An amazing piano that I love recommending. I hope to hear from you again, and thanks for the comment. -Stu
Merriam Music Thanks! I will keep you updated. I completed my first month piano lesson, my goal is to play Chopin Nocturne Op 9 one day. I love Chopin music, I hope to reach this goal in three years, although it’s a difficult piece but I will push myself..
Wow, love the way you play piano, cool, composed, casual and to the beat. Watched many review of yours, every piano looks great in your hands. You probably have a MIDAS touch to change any sound to wonderful music. Although I have a piano, started watching all review just to see how an instrument sounds in your hands. I am certain, you not only inspire many but also make people aspire to play like you one day. Your viewers will be in a pleasant 'SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE' in a wonder HARMONY" you create. Let your Merriam Music & Channel multiple the joy in several OVERTONE.
Congratulations! That is amazing news to hear! Playing piano is one of the most rewarding activities you can do. Also, the PXS3000 is a fantastic digital piano! It has been replaced with the PXS3100, but you may still be able to track down a PXS3000 at a great price. All the best! :)
I wonder if this piano is short enough to slide into the key bed of an old grand piano. It would be nice if Roland, Casio, or Kawai would make an electric piano kit to specifically replace the action of old grands. The strings and cast iron plate could be removed, and speakers installed into the existing sound board. I can really see this Casio working very nicely at high-class venues. The pianos sound very exquisite with some of the additional sound enhancements.
I'm hesitating between this one and the Roland RD 88. I would want to know if the Roland RD 88 can play midi backing tracks with up to 16 multitimbral tracks.
Hi, thank you very much for the video Just a question: Is it possible to create your own auto accompaniment styles, including creating your own drum patterns on the Casio Privia PX-S3000?
If for advanced classical, I'd suggest either a different Casio with a more advanced action, like the PX-770 or something in that range, or for a similar price to the PX-S3000, I'd also recommend either a Kawai KDP70 or Roland RP102. I really enjoy the PX-S3000 for many reasons, but I think the accuracy of the action for high level classical might be a bit lacking. For beginner or hobbyist players, the Casio is awesome.
Casio's sound just doesn't do it for me. Doesn't compare to the likes of Kawai. But I'll at least say they've improved a bit from the early privias. The px 730 I had just softened the same tone or brightened it. There wasn't multiple piano samples.
It seems to me that it could partly be your computer speakers. It sounds lovely to me, and I play Pianoteq Pro, so I know what some of the best virtual pianos sound like.
I have one. I would say the action is not horrible but it is a compromise. It is improved greatly over the last Casio I owned, but the short scale of the keybed does lead to differences in weight as you move back on the key. I hardly notice it when I am playing but it is still there. Overall, given the price, features - and yes the flaws - I would buy it again.
@@PianoGabrielo No, but, honestly, why you would want that? Simply play songs on your phone and send audio signal to audio input of RD88. The same applies to PX-S3000.
@@alicaramba7680 Thanks for the answer. I want to make my own arrangements to accompany me, and if the RD 88 has 3000 good sounds I would like to use them.
@@PianoGabrielo Sadly, RD88 is limited in this regard, you can't use it as 16 track sound module for sequencing, playing midi files. Simply playing your songs from second device (phone, tablet, USB stick) seems to be the most logic way to go in this case.
Thanks for the demo. I hope you touch on the action in the full review, curious to see how you process it vs James @ThePianoForever (ua-cam.com/video/OB9tqkPKdeU/v-deo.html).
We definitely have, and the full review is coming shortly. I speak about it in some detail in the vid, but in short, I don't see it as being the hindrance that James does...it's not that he's wrong, I just think the complaint doesn't match the context of who the likely user is.
I prefer Yamaha. Casio and Roland piano samples sound hollow to my ear even though I understand they're "richer dynamically". Maybe their tuning is too clean and lacks some dissonance, can't put my finger on it. I've played piano professionally for 20 years so shouldn't be tone deaf.
There is definitely a weight difference between the black and white keys that isn't typically found, it's true. Whether or not it actually compromises the playing experience for a typical buyer of this instrument is quite another question. If this were $10,000 and claiming to be well-suited for high level classical, yes, it's simply not going to cut it. But what I found was that I was not bothered by it, and actually had to go out of my way to 'notice' it in a normal casual playing situation. Similar to the Yamaha P515, which has 80 gram key weight... which under most circumstances would be considered a MAJOR flaw...somehow manages to produce a balanced result when combined with it's musical response and speaker design. Us reviewers sometimes like to find things to nit-pick over...but for whatever it's worth, this one didn't bug me all that much.
@@MerriamPianos, Glad to hear that. I know from watch videos that there are many good players who don't seem to be bothered by it. I have hear there are other issues with these Casios. Mainly, I'm of the belief there is no way to save the set ups of patches.

Hey Amy. I'm looking to do the same at my mid 30s. Can I ask what you're practising with in terms of learning material?
Best piano reviews on UA-cam! Wonderful musician’s perspective !
Casio keys issue.flawed action
Between Stu and James (pianoforever) I know I get a very good review of all of these keyboards.
Good demo, and some great playing.

I've recently bought the casio privia pxs3100 and it's gorgeous.
Great job Stu! I decided to upgrade the PX S3100 over the 1100. Way more features for not much more money. Thanks for all your great videos!
That Everything happened to me is the loveliest version I've heard. Thank you!
I am 32 and decided to start learning piano/keyboard. Will be ordering this soon!

Got a P125 largely based on your review. Thanks. It's true to your review.
That very shiny black case is gonna show up fingerprints and scratches REALLY well.

Wow, great playing, Hugh. Love your arrangement of 'Everything Happens 2 Me'. Do you have an instructional channel/site ?
Hi, thank you very much for the video
Just a question:
Is it possible to create your own auto accompaniment styles, including creating your own drum patterns on the Casio Privia PX-S3000?
Hi, is this piano better than Kawai ES110? I appreciate your advice on this! Thanks!!
Beautiful overview, enjoyed ur playing too. Is this good for classical pieces? Or should I go with some other?
If for advanced classical, I'd suggest either a different Casio with a more advanced action, like the PX-770 or something in that range, or for a similar price to the PX-S3000, I'd also recommend either a Kawai KDP70 or Roland RP102.

Thanx
What do you think about the yamaha modx8
Hello! Is the Roland Juno DS88 a good instument?
This or Rd88?
Speakers and Amplifiers - Size : 16cm x 8cm（Oval）x 2, Speaker System : 2 speakers, Amplifiers : 8W + 8W
Does this keyboard have inbuilt speakers?
Yes, and they are good too!

It just sounds very "small" like the samples were recorded in a box.
It seems to me that it could partly be your computer speakers. It sounds lovely to me, and I play Pianoteq Pro, so I know what some of the best virtual pianos sound like.
@@JoeLinux2000 it's more a matter of preference, I like the long decay of kawai's sound sample. Casio sustain is really poor to my ears
I heard that action is horrible.....can't wait to hear about it in the full review

The action is absolutely fine.
I used to be interested in this model, but at last I purchased an RD-88 from Roland which I really appriciated and satisfied with.

Be warned of apparently quite a substantial design flaw here, as there is a significant weight difference between the black and white keys.

Why always playing abstrack music to introduce their product? That's so annoying
Can't them playing a classical music or popular song ?
