Here's my latest video unboxing and playing the Privia PX-S7000. I really enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, making music on this one. In fact I loved the keybed action so much that I decided to use it as a MIDI controller in my studio cuz it's slim and fits perfectly in front of my desk, with its own integrated, STURDY stand! And those additional piano sounds are gorgeous. Hamburg Grand is by far my favorite! Let me know which one you like in the comment section below!
Nicely done! I saw your post on PianoWorld and thought I would check it out. I unboxed the White model on my channel last week, what a workout. Harmonious Mustard is really an amazing color. Really nice video work and production as well. I look forward to checking more of your videos out. Stay Joyful! 😊
Awesome playing, and that crazy mustard color kind of grows on me, not sure if it would get old or now. I like the black, but this is really cool looking. Great job. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind comment :) I actually think it will never get old because it already gives me that vintage vibe as well as a modern sleek look.
The unboxing portion was very helpful. I just obtained one. Your playing is quite remarkable. Mine is not...but I compose....loooong story on my career, but irrelevant in this post. Keep up the good work.....
So I bought this a couple weeks ago in white and I feel I should’ve went with the black or yellow. But it’s ok. I love the keyboard itself. It’s expensive but it’s a piece of art that looks and plays great. It doesn’t feel like it’s a Casio.
The Yellow one is lovely but so is the white. I like the black finish as well, but it's a giant finger print magnet generally. Other colors are more forgiving.
I went to a Sam Ash recently to see their Roland and Kawai keyboards and saw this one in black. It looked so dang cool in person. Very sleek. It felt and sounded great too.
This is the greatest video ever. You have a great way with creating a nice final product. I'm only three minutes in! Cheers! ... 20 min in edit: Superb! ... Hi I'm back with another edit; watched the whole thing and wow. Thanks for some really nice music!
I'm so glad you're out there doing what you do, Leon. Hate to have just the voice of some snotty kid who would rather put weights on the keys than play the $#!+ out of the keyboard as you do. Thank you.
A couple months ago I was holiday in Poland and I entered a music shop where they had on display both PX-S6000 and PX-S7000, in this amazing mustard colour. Tried them and blown away! I had no idea that CASIO could make such great instruments! I thought they make only entry level cheap keyboards. Since then, it's my dream to buy one for my daughter who learns piano (who am I fooling? For me too! hehehe)
Leon, that is absolutely beautiful ... I just subscribed to your channel as I thoroughly enjoyed your playing and your demonstration of the Casio Privia PX-S7000. Are you playing it directly from its inbuilt speaker application system or you have used an external mixer and speakers? Also if I may ask, can you set more reverb such a concert hall, club, cathedral and so on from the front panel of the lovely PX-S7000. I am on the market to buy one and tossing between the Nord Piano 5 and this model! Thank you so ever kindly :) Jean-Claude from Melbourne, Australia.
@@LeonThomasian Hi Leon, thank you so much for your reply to my questions. I really enjoy your playing and your style is very rhythmic I love how you almost compose a phrase and build your composition around it! :) You must have used some audio interface in a DAW as it sounds brilliant. I have also viewed another video and you're playing I believe the same model, the Casio Privia PX-S7000 in Black which also looks amazing. I'm in between the two colours as my home is Mid-Century Modern in style as either would look great. Thanks a million for your brilliant playing as I always now check your channel. Do take great care and make music as it's the best therapy in the World ... :)
Hello @LeonThomasian…I just ordered this keyboard today! That first piece you play at 5:17 in this video, is absolutely beautiful, I assume you composed this? I am in my 50’s and just getting back to playing after close to 20 years, and would love this to be the first piece I learn. Have you notated it yet? and sell the sheet music?
8:00 not sure why in the video it seems it takes no effort to press the white or black key near the felt area... I tried it in a store to play Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement and with the thumb and little fingers on the black key and middle or ring finger needing to press on the white or black key near the felt area, it was very difficult to press down. It almost was unplayable... on the Casio GP series piano or the Roland FP-30X or FP-90X, there is no such issue
It is inevitable to feel that the keys can be heavier towards the top end when playing on a super slim keyboard like this cuz you don't get that advantage of a longer key pivot point. However, after a few runs, I found it was easy to adjust my playing to this keyboard without any issues.
@@LeonThomasian ok, if you are already skillful playing piano, I guess you'd have no problem, for example, move your fingers 1cm away from the felt. For me, I am an intermediate... so I hope I don't have to constantly remember to do these tricks
Great demo! Thank you. I tried the PX S7000, great action, good sounds, but the interface is horrific... I'm looking for a piano for my daughters (11y and 6y) and the design is perfect for my wife :) What is the name of the song at 11:22 (EP 059 Where is it)? Thanks in advance.
caro Leon, un professionista con tecnica simile alla tua e agilità, l' ho soltanto viste da Jordan Rudess! peccato che il 7000 costi troppo per ciò che da. soprattutto per il mobile. Non ho ancora chiara una cosa però. Il 6000 è la fotocopia del 7000 ma con il mobile ed accessori aggiunti?
Beautiful video, very nuce playing,👍can you tell us something about the noise keys? I own a privia pxs1000, which is a good instrument, but keys are noisy
Thank you! :) this has a much improved keybed which is very quiet I actually use it as a midi controller for that purpose, my wife has her office setup right next to me so when I’m playing the keys with headphones on, it doesn’t bother her at all
Ive been thinking about picking up this keyboard. My main reservation is the dual sensor. Im a classical pianist, and will mainly be playing classical repertoire. Do you ever feel that the action prevents you from playing ppp. Does the action work well for VST controller?
I've been playing this keyboard for almost 2 years now. In fact I sold my VPC1 and been using the S7000 as my main midi controller. This keyboard is a great compromise between a traditional midi controller that has no sound, and a top notch midi controller like the VPC1. It's narrow, and it first in tight spaces pretty well. My VPC1 did not. It's hard to say though. You really have to play it and experience the keybed for yourself.
You make this piano sound so good...I have owned a Privia PX-850 for 8 plus years and the piano sounds are very realistic and full...its hard to tell that it is not a real acoustic piano...I just received my new PX-S7000 and am so disappointed in the thinness and muffled overtones in ALL of the piano samplings (through the internal speakers)...The other samplings sound correct (organs, EP's, midi instruments) as do the demo songs (all 3 of them-even my $1000 PX-850 had 60 songs). I have tried all of the positions variations for sound and none of them improved this condition. It just does NOT sound like a real piano...not sure what the problem may be or if that is the way it is supposed to sound...If so, it is disappointing...
@@LeonThomasian ...the piano sits about 7" (at the top body of the piano) from the wall. This is exactly where my Privia PX-850 sat (and it sounded fantastic there). This is a converted second bedroom (about 13'x15') and the acoustics are pretty good...the speakers are trying too hard to create a stereo or surround sound and end up not sounding like an acoustic piano...it is definitely improved when I run 1/4" cables into my soundboard and listen through my Focal monitor speakers. Thanks for your response.
After seeing so many videos of this piano, i decided to go to a music store a few days ago to try it in order to have a better idea of how it sounds and how it feels, especially considering all the positive points these different videos mentioned about this instrument. If i've been very much enthusiastic about the look (i played the yellow and the black one and loved the black one color, unlike the yellow one), i must say i've been disappointed by the acoustic piano sounds, compared to the sound and the feel of a Zimmermann acoustic piano (made by Bechstein) which was in the store and which i tried at the same time. Of course, the price of the acoustic piano is almost 4 times more expensive than the Casio and it would be too nice to have a piano with exactly the same sound and feel of a Bechstein, but for the price of a Casio...😏 All this to say that when manufacturers claim they managed to reproduce the mechanic and the sound of a real grand or upright piano with a digital piano, it's simply not true.
Hi Andrea, thank you for your comment. Just curious, did you get the chance to check one of these in person? I found that it was made with great quality material and the glass panel felt real nice.

Hi Leon...how does it perform as a midi controller, please?🙂Wonderfully detailed video, very well considered...many thanks!
Wow I was expecting an unboxing but instead I had the pleasure of enjoying some heavenly music 5:26!! Thank you! Amazing skills 🙏
@MavimMusic It is just a beautiful piece of music…do you know what the composition is?
I think it's an original he wrote for the occasion
Yes, it's my own original composition. Thanks a lot.

It's a nice keyboard. I was just playing it right now. Too bad Sam Ash is gone!

Hi Jeff, thank you for your comment. Cheers!
What a digital piano!
WOW COMO TOCA DE BIEN EL PIANO PARECE ACARICIAR LAS TECLAS TREMENDO PIANISTA
Oh Bro, that is a great Piano. Good review!!!
I have a psx3100 and I'm crazy about the psx7000, in a mix of vintage and modern is so... such pretty...
Superb presentation, thank you.
Great composition ! Thanks !
Esse piano é lindo!!!! Parabéns!!!!

Have you watched this video? The S6000 and S7000 have the same exact keybed, so this would be applicable: ua-cam.com/video/5zCNtCTQh3o/v-deo.html

Would this keyboard last long term though? Great playing btw.
Future will tell, but I've had it for 2 years now and no issues at all so far.

Hey I only like Nord Grand and keys like the Kawai Mp11, like classical pianos.. is this kinda similar for practising serious music ?
I've practiced some prokofiev, chopin, liszt, etc. repertoire on it and it delivers
would you say this is a good first piano to learn on?
It totally is, especially if you’re in a situation where you can’t own an actual acoustic piano.
Q pasa si toco sin pedal del piano
you can still play the piano normally without the pedal, but you won't be able to sustain them when lifting your hands
how long does the battery last? I want to take this to the venue. Thank you
Hi sorry about the late response, it lasts about 4 hours, and I recommend when it's not being used, remove the batteries for them to last longer.
hi. name of the first song at 5:17 please ♥
They're all my own original music. Haven't given them a name yet.
Lucky You !

@@LeonThomasian Hello yes, i finally bought an Hoffmann upright piano, made by Bechsstein.
Кто тоже хочет такие большие руки..
This really is an annoying amount of plastic used, to pack up those parts. Come on Casio, couldn't this be done better in 2022?
For something this expensive I don't mind the plastic.
Environmentalist are the real problem for the environment.
