Wow 😮 I love the Yamaha psrw425 !!!!! How much is it ????
Also your skills suck 😭😭😭 but only because I can't play like that 🫵😁😁😁
Hey Jeremy! I have a question: Would you recommend the use of external speakers to add power and sound quality to the Casio CT-S200 and CT-S300? And If so, which speakers would you recommend? Thanks!
I'm stuck between the Yamaha PSR e373 and casiotone
@jeremy see is there any problem with psr e 463?

Thanks for the break down.
also do for the songs he is playing
The CT-S300 is bad now
The video is time stamped anyway, wtf you do that for lol. Lost faith in humanity?
My hero
Update for 2024: Don’t buy the CT-S300 anymore. The price is now inflated to $240. Instead, get a CT-X700 for $199, with the better AiX sound engine. The CT-S300 is now officially a bad keyboard for what it costs and how it sounds.
Is it better than the Yamaha PSR-E373 ? Both cost 220 euros for me
@@nikhilnitc Pretty similar, I would go for X700 myself
@@nikhilnitcwent for the 373 because of features like usb
Hi thank you for this I was about to buy the CT-S300. However looking at the CTX700, does it take a lot of space? I only have a limited space at home so it's storage will be different from where I can practice playing it if ever I buy it
@@lankyimnida595It’s compact, but not as light as something like the CT-S1, which only weighs 3 kilos. I’m in the same situation at home, and went for the CT-S1 with lightweight stand so I can just stand it up and out of the way when I’m not playing it.
I’ve had my DGX-670 for 2 yrs. I never get tired of playing it. I’m 73 and have been playing for 66 yrs.
I have one too .
insanely impressive my good sir.
Amazing collections of reviews. You can't go wrong listening to Jeremy's review. With Jeremy's recommendations, I picked up a Yamaha PSR-EW310 for it's portability, and great sounds. Still having fun!
Glad you like them!
@@JeremySee excelente video. Me encantaría que hicieras una review del Studiologic Numa Compact 2 seria genial! Saludos desde Venezuela
Hi Jeremy! I still appreciate the help you gave me a few years ago on the Roland FP-10. I don’t kiss it goodnight every night now, but I do Pat it when I walk by it. This piano has helped me in my healing from mental health challenges. If I get upset, I can play my piano and feel better. I still need to take lessons, but have learned enough to please myself, which is important. Now I’m looking for a portable 61 key to take outside, so this review helped a lot. Thank you for all that you do to help us, both new players and accomplished ones. Your kindness is invaluable. ❤
I'm happy to help. ♥️
i'm looking to get a keyboard for the same exact reason! i have Complex PTSD from all the bad stuff that happened to me as a child. i'm hoping to learn how to play piano again and sticking with it this time & helping myself heal, keep up the good work!!
Thanks very much for this "wrap up" video, Jeremy. The list in the description has a few glitches. It mixes up the description of the Alesis 88-key instrument, nor the Yamaha 76-key EZ300 (PSR-E383) next in the list.
Based on your reviews, I bought a Yamaha PSR-E373 and love it.
Excellent comparative review! I agree with your choices and if I could choose only one of the keyboards in these examples, I would also choose the DGX-670 for many good reasons but especially for the mic input. I love singing and playing and that one would be perfect. I didn't know it had such a great speaker system until i saw this video! My PSR-E473 is kind of a budget version, but it has met the need. I really wish I had gone for the 76 key PSR-EW425 but that was a $120 difference (something I would have felt at the time). In my little world the DGX-670 is the stuff of dreams ...🥰👍
Great to hear you share your experience Shelly. Hope all is well.
I've been taking care of mom. She's in the last stage of her life. I've taken my CT-S1000V because it's small. She likes to hear me play. Music is a great outlet for us all, right?
A great overview of keyboards, Jeremy, with meticulous spot on details that hit the nail on the head to address practically every want, need, or budget. Despite that, you still have, and will probably have many more people asking which is the right keyboard to choose, when you address everything in all your videos, especially in this one.
I have commented in detail several times about this, and another key factor is availability, especially in certain areas of the world, where distribution, marketing and servicing is not optimal, or the production numbers simply cannot keep up with the demand, like for the Uber popular Roland FP-10, as well as most of the FP series, though the others are much more pricey.
The Casio CT-S300 was great for when it came out for everything you said it is. Although the sounds are not the best, they are more than decent for the price, especially several years later. And the built in handle makes it the ideal for the take everywhere you go just to have a keyboard to play with battery power and practice wherever you go, and not take another more expensive keyboard out l, except for gigs and other purposes.
I would go into detail about most of the other keyboards, as you stated those points clearly, and I have commented about them in the individual review videos for those specific instruments..
Each has their unique perks, pros and cons, but you must take into consideration their respective price points.
Yamaha has always been great for putting cutting edge sounds and features in keyboards and each competitive price point, but Casio tends to be more portable and compact and easier to use with its simpler user interface.
All the other keyboard manufacturers have great instrument offerings with their own spin on sound, features, format and other perks, like connectivity and bonus software and such. That makes it more difficult to choose, though one must evaluate their needs, wants, and budgets, but also decide if they want something they will later upgrade, or wait and get a better one that they will keep longer.
As you get to the last few keyboards, it gets more pricey and discriminating, with better action, sound, build quality, and a myriad of features and capabilities. They each address a specific niche in the keyboard market, like the Yamaha DGX-670 as the best all around weighted action arranger with lots of other treasures, the Kawaii ES120 for all the various nuances and adjustability to minute details for a serious, formally trained pianist for sound and tactile feel. The Arturia is an incredible controller for a professional production setup with comparable other high level gear and software, and that Yamaha at the end, as a great digital version of a traditional console type home piano with all the perks of a digital I have mentioned in the past. However, the Casio PX series are also great.
I really like several of them, that I would have considered buying. But like everything else, I believe I made the best choices for myself, and highly scrutinized my choices for specific reasons, with a lot of research and evaluation.
Albeit a mini key instrument, my Yamaha PSS-A50 is a power house for an even more portable $100 keyboard with the ability to do so many things. Masataka Kono is the master of that Mini Keys and demonstrates what it can do marvelously in all his videos.
My CT-S1 is unmatched at its price point for spot on bread and butter sounds, features, compact portability and clean design. It's my number one recommended keyboard for beginners, aspiring keyboardists, and even advanced players to relax and play with away from their more expensive rigs, and just to have a decent set of keys to take on the go, or travel with.
My Roland Go:Keys is incredible, though more expensive than the CT-S1, it is similar yet more diverse. They both have great sound tones, but the Go:Keys has much more of them, 128 note polyphony, and built in BT connectivity, and it's Sampled Phrase Loop feature is an alternative approach BYO the auto arranger, with much more variation and sounds more authentic, compared to the stigma ambiance that arrangers get, though sometimes you want that vintage type sound and feel for effect. It is a great production keyboard for the price paired with a computer, etc.
My Roland JD-Xi is much more pricey, and in a while other category as an Analog digital synth, vocorder and 4 thack backing. It can go deep into sound and versatility. Yohan Kim uses it often and exemplifies its capabilities.
Other than the Yamaha Reface CP, there's not much other keyboards I can think of in the under $1000 range.
With that said, my previous band for the buck keyboards entering the professional level are all Roland keyboards. Each is incredible in its own way.
The V Combo VR-09B is a jack of all trades performance and production 61 keyboard for gigging and bread and butter sounds, and a phrase loop sampler feature.
The RD 88 is a great kid brother to the Flagship RD2000 at about have the price, lighter and more compact fir portability and has the Zen Core sound capabilities.
Likewise, the Fantom 0 Series is a more affordable and compact version of the heavier and bulky flagship workstation series without many features not everyone needs.
I like all of those three, but more recently, I was considering opting for the RD 88 at $1200.00 as my go to keyboard when I want to get a serious 88 weighted key flagship for my setup or church. But Roland blew away the competition with their latest blockbuster keyboard.
Drum 🥁 roll....
The FP-E50!
At $999.99 Under $1000 Roland has their renown 88 weighted action keyboard, 1081 on board Supernatural and Zen Core sounds with more Zen Core expansion and an arranger with future expansion styles.
It's like having the best of the Yamaha DGX-670, Roland RD 88 and Fantom 0 Series on one keyboard under $1000!
And the arranger functions has features that automatically adjust to your playing the more complex you play to sound like a real band, and a whole lot more.
I thought the RD 88 was the ideal dream keyboard for the price with 88 keys, like I mentioned previously, but this makes it hard to beat for the price or even for much more. Also with a microphone input with effects.
I never have been more excited about a new keyboard than now. I don't need it now, but I definitely am glad I waited and I tend to get this in a few months. Ideally two later. To keep one at church, and one at home.
There's never been a better time to get a new keyboard with all the choices and price points for whatever you need. And you're the one that makes the videos to watch to help decide.
Amazing analysis as always buddy! FP-E50 looks like it's gonna be a fantastic addition to your music making arsenal. 😍
@@JeremySee I'm glad I didn't get the RD 88 or the Fantom 0 Series. They are both great, but this is even better, got a price less than the FP-60X, or the RD 88 that I would have chosen over the FP-60X.
It's been out for about a month. I didn't know about it, but just came across a video. Roland is always on the cutting edge, sometimes releasing products twice a year.
The FP-E50 is already getting many rave reviews. It's hard to beat for the price.
Always love your Content Jeremy!!
Brilliant Video!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Jeremy. Thanks for your informative and entertaining reviews. Nobody does it better. Based solely on your reviews, I traded in my 61 key Yamaha PSR-273 for the 76 key Yamaha PSR-EW310 keyboard and have no regrets. In the not too distant future I hope to upgrade to an 88 key Yamaha. I am trying to work up to your level of pianistic accomplishment, which will take a long time and lots of effort. Please keep up the great videos and I will continue to recommend that others subscribe to your site.
I appreciate that!
NPC comment
Hi Jeremy thank you so much for your great informative reviews. I have bought a Casiotone LK-S450 based on your reviews and planning to learn playing keyboard. Millions of years ago used to play mandolin now as a middle aged person looking forward to having a good level of keyboard skill and enjoying a jam with my musician friends and relatives. I would love to do that. Wishing you all the best.
I'm happy to help. Keep striving!
I have been coming to your channel for years and really appreciate the honest and consistant quality reviews you offer. Thank you.
Killer content, I just ordered the Artura using your link, thank you!
Cheers Jeremy! Thanks to your informative vids I finally settled for the Yamaha EZ-300. Quick question: what cover would you recommend for this keyboard? Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge, question
Is The ONE piano the best 88 key illuminated keyboard piano?
Yours are the best piano reviews! I love listening to your videos! You are such a good pianist! Greetings!
Great review of beginners keyboards. I play guitar but always wanted to explore the piano and had no idea where to begin. Now I know. Thanks, Jeremy!✌🙂
@JeremySee , I love your videos and appreciate how informative they are! I've watched most of your beginner piano reviews, and as a complete piano newbie, I'm torn between the excellent choices available, specifically the Casio Casiotone (for the price), Casio CT-S1RD (for the balance in price & quality), Yamaha PSR-EW425 (for the features and value), Yamaha P45 (for the weighted keys), and Korg Liano (for the 88-keys and value).
Overall, I've heard conflicting opinions on different aspects like key action and number of keys for beginners, and knowing that the keyboard I choose should match my goals/preferences, I would love to have your expert opinion based on my specific situation.
My background:
- Have a max of $500 budget
- Goal is to become good enough to and create melodies/backing track to vocals (I sing, primarily w/ an interest in R&B, pop, folk, & pop-rock)
- Am a bit scared that the "bells and whistles" coming w/pianos like the EW425 since they might distract me from fundamental skill development but am drawn by those very same features as I eventually want to experiment and make my own songs
- Am interested in classical and baroque pieces but lean more towards the modern songwriting side
- Plan on getting weekly lessons and practicing daily
- Interested in getting to use DAWS and want to be able to record
- Will live in a college dorm next year (I can make an 88-key work space-wise and will use headphones, but I am more concerned about the learning implications of getting a keyboard smaller than 88-keys).
I appreciate any insight/advice and would gladly clarify any info to make it easier for you to respond.
Have you decided on which?
Awesome compilation you have here... it narrowed the list down which made it way easier for me to decide which to go to. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Best video with great efforts ♥️ highly appreciated 😄👍🏼
thank you!!! much appreciated.
Thank you very much for this review maestro!
Alesis Recital Pro - bought following your recommendation two years ago, continues to give me a lot of pleasure, very pleased with what it offers, how it feels, looks, and sounds (I use quality headphones) for a price that seals the deal. I’m not interested in accompaniments, or zillions of voices. The most used voices for me are the piano, strings and organs. That it doesn’t have graded keys matters not to me, the touch sensitive action is perfectly adequate.
A great recommendation - thank you!👍🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this VIDEO
very complete.
Enjoyed the praise break during the Alesis portion . ❤❤
I watched this or maybe another video of yours, and bought the Casio ct, I love it. Great to start on. Now I need a bit of a bigger one as 62 keys isn’t enough anymore, but this guide saved me wasting money on a bad one I was looking at before. I didn’t know these existed before this video
never thought that you would be uploading a new video
Glad you like them!
Seems like some new stuff is going to be released before NAMM 2023. Any idea where the new Yamaha stage CK pianos or the Roland FP 20 fits into this list? Is the DGX 670 better than an FP 20. Same goes for the CK 88 vs the DGX 670. After every thing gets straightened out am hoping to get something nice in May.
Hello, always a pleasure to watch your reviews ! May I ask what is the title of the waltz played on some of those keyboards (like the FP10) ?
Jeremy , as always an excellent review.
Thank you Jeremy Bravo ! 👏👏
What do you think about Studiologic SL-88 Studio & Grand? Where does it fall in terms of key action and feel compared to the keyboards you mention here?
Thanks!
The Best video of keyboards in the life🎉greetings from Chile🎹🇨🇱
Hey Jeremy, been watching a bunch of your reviews because I plan on buying my 1st digital piano. I’m currently a guitarist but want to expand and learn piano. I can’t decide between the Yamaha p125a or the Roland fp-30x. Or do I go cheap and get the Alexis prestige artist?
I live about 2 hours from Sweetwater music and as soon as I can find the time I plan on taking a day to go tryout these 3 keyboards. What makes it a tough choice is Sweetwater recently dropped the price of the fp-30x by $50 and Roland if offering a $100 rebate thru September. I definitely want to be able to connect to iOS devices. Do you have any specific items I should pay attention to when I tryout these instruments? Are there other comparable keyboards in this price range I should consider? Hope you get back to me, thanks
First i would like to say i really love you detailed reviews but from personal experience alot of the keyboards sound quite poor in real life yet all sound fabulous in your videos. How do you record the audio, is it eq or the like ?
What a fantastic review for someone who is new to playing piano covering everything for everybody. I am looking for the keyboard that has a case stand that sounds and feels most like a grand piano.
In terms of able to press the key down near the felt area (not need to use strong force), I think the Yamaha P125 and P45 or P71 is so-so. The Roland FP-10 is good. The FP-90X is great but is closer to US$2000. The Kawai ES120 was also so-so but I only tried it once in a store. You need to press the key near the felt softly, such as when you play Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement, when your thumb and little fingers are both on the black key and now your middle or ring finger need to press softly on the black key or white key. There is no way you can move it away from the felt area (unless if you intentionally move back 1 cm or 2 away from the felt area but that'd be unnatural to do)
Thanks Jeremy. This was so useful. Which keyboard is the richest when it comes to choir voices. I know Yamaha tyros series are amazing but they are so expensive. What about the other choices?
Is that Ludovico Einaudi @ 19:28? What a great comprehensive review for anyone looking to buy at this time. As another stated, I couldn't be happier with both keyboards I've purchased after watching so many of Jeremy's reviews. First, the CT-S1 and most recently the Yamaha PSR-EW310. Thank you, Jeremy! 🎹🎶😊
I'm glad I can help.
Hey, no it's not Einaudi. it's river flows in you by Yiruma! An absolutely beautiful piece.
Hi Jeremy,
I just started learning piano a month ago and decided to buy one for better learning experience. I am choosing between Yamaha E373 and Casio CTX-3000
which do you think will serve a total beginner like me well?
Thank you
I really appreciate your Reviews Jeremy See. I actually took the time to listen to everything you said, wow what knowledge this is awesome, thanks so much for sharing
I appreciate that!
you should post a list of all the songs you played. Great choices
He visto este video más de 5 veces, es maravilloso 🎉 gran trabajo, gracias por la información tan detallada, voy por mi Casio CT-S1
Sir Jeremy! I am a beginner. I haven’t started learning but I had downloaded the Simply piano app and others before I got a keyboard which is a psr sx700 . I hope it’s not bad to learn with it as a beginner. Though the reason I bought the psr sx700 was for my band. I just want to know if I can also learn with it .
By the way, thank you so much for your time . Came across many but you’re one of the best so far .
God bless you.
As a Yamaha DGX-670 owner, 2 years going, and have not become bored with it, still learning all it can do and doing daily Hanon exercises or practicing a piece, switching to other voices is a pleasure to add variety when playing / practicing.
Even after taking a week's break and returning the following to continue learning, it still feels great. 👍
Well said!
Agreed. I bought mines last year because of Jeremy reference. I can play with other musicians and be a one man band. The DGX 670 is worth every dollar. Best $700 I ever spend.
@@Iriea09 where you get it for 700
Absolutely very well said. I also purchased the dgx670, and even after one year, I am still finding new combinations that I can use to create individual sound / sounds.
@@profound369 Probably the piano alone, without stand and 3-pedals attachment.
I bought my casio ct-s1 thanks to you, very good keyboard. Thanks so much Jeremy
Enjoy!
Great video like always Jeremy!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing. Im planning to buy casiotone LKS250. Is this brand good?
Would you recommend something for a pianist moving from an upright piano im ok to spend as much as needed (I was maybe thinking fp-30x/e520 or maybe e120?) thanks😅 also going to use for cover songs
great info lots of help
Thank you for the great reviews.
What are the three songs that you played in the intro of this video?
Did you read my mind? Just a few days earlier I commented on one of your videos trying to find a piano that fit all my requirements as well as be in the price range of 300-400$
And you happened to drop this! I have not seen the video yet but it looks promising already especially with the description. So hopefully I find a piano that I can convince my parents to get for me. Thank you!
I just purchased a Casio CTK-810. It's an older keyboard, but seems pretty good. There was no power supply for it, but I already had something that worked and rewired it.
Hey Jeremy ...Which 88 key workstation thats around $400 to $600 that allows both audio and midi data recording . . . as well as can save files to an SD CARD? I appreciate your vast experience and insight on various keyboards. Thank you Jeremy
Thank you very much
What a beautiful video
I'm just starting to learn and I want to be able to play for my church but I also have a passion for the classics. Which piano would be a great fit for that in your opinion? (preferably under $600)
Have you tried Korg SP280 or Thomann 28-DP Plus? I felt both of those were pretty smooth for their price point. Especially the korg. Really smooth action, feel and good functionality. Not to mention how portable it is, if that's a feature one is looking for. Feels really high end for it's price as well.
H Jeremy, how are you?
I'm a completely beginner , I loved your videos!! Watched so much , learned so much, Thank you so much!
But now I'm struggling between which piano should I buy? Casio px 3100, and Korg LP 380U and then Roland FP30X. I really love white color for piano. Unfortunalty the Casio has only black, could you me which one is the one i should get ? I really want a keyboard that's super close to the real piano. Could you please guide me which budget friendly keyboard will be the best I should buy? Thank you so much!!
Jeremy, I bought the Yamaha e473. I'd really like to get the drums set up for rock / ballads. And save them into memory. I'd also like to locate a place i could find the styles appropriate for the songs I'm playing, instead of trying to figure it out myself.. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all the reviews, I think I will go with kawai es120.
I have the old one Korg SP170S and the Korg Microkorg Xl .
What is your view in these two ? They still ok in 2023 or should i upgrade ?
Came for a piano review, stayed for the performance. Great review
hey Jeremy - thanks for that,
can you please tell me which keyboard is the best from a "feel" aspect?- meaning which is the most like a piano touch when I play on it - the korg liano or the donner dep-20?
Thank you for what you do.
Yamaha EW 425 very cool!! 25w in dinamiks! Very cool sound! In home-studio good variant!! And Zena too!
Yep - I have a Roland FP10 at my mother's house for practice (lovely lovely action - great sound - and a superb app) and in my office, a Kawai CN29 (nothing beats the Kawai sound in my view) and, in my lounge, a white Kawai Es8 (which I can disassemble and take on gigs as well).
Thanks for sharing!
It would be great to have chapters in the video, so we can jump to relevant sections. Good info though.
Also, all the amazon links in the description seem to only take me to the Casio amazon shop. Actually many links seem to point to the wrong product. Maybe it's a region thing.
Would be great if you show us the music title that u play in the video…….. love some of them
Hi Jeremy, eagerly awaiting a review of the Roland Go Keys 5 vs the Casio CT-S1000V!
If your not to concerned about portability; which sounds better and is more "fun" to play? The Yamaha DGX 670 or the Yamaha CK 88? I think they are both "weighted". Which is more "realistic"? Effects, layering, ease of sound programming, recording? Any advice would be appreciated. Any thoughts as compared to the new Roland FP E 50? They all seem "good".
what an epic video !
i'm currently a proud owner of a P125a and wanting to add the DGX670 this or next year,
i'm sooo used to 88 keys i'm struggling with 76 or 61 keys
again great video !
The 670 is a POWERHOUSE. Highly recommended.
The DGX 670 is an amazing instrument. Touch is perfect for my 73 yr old hands. The sound quality is very good coming from small speakers. So much to choose from!
Are 61 keys really enough for a beginner? I really want to buy an E piano, but I have almost no experience but I don't want to restrict be in the song selection. And thank you for the great video
What did you decide? I’m in the same boat.
very well structured and very informative video! my budget is a little on the low side so i think im going to pick the roland FP10 thanks to your recommendations. thank you so much for the help!
Great choice!
I've had my DGX-670 for about a year now...
This piano is the single greatest piece of musical equipment I have ever laid my hands on. The most functional, the most expressive, the best value and the most productive.
My only complaint is that this unit lacks a sufficient quantity of electric piano tones. I solve this by using the 670 to control my Roland Juno-Di (which has an amazing array of EP tones).
Thanks for sharing!
@Lance Can you write down an easy and short, 10-steps on how you control your Roland Juno-Di using the DGX-670?
I'm sure there are more E piano sounds than you realize,
Have you browsed the XG lite section?
Got yourself a sub thanks for all the info
so uuh idk anything about digital pianos or keyboards but i just want to know if you can load sound fonts from your pc into them?
im looking for a keyboard that can be use on a Pc and have good touch. does the key board with ou the weigthed key still have a good feeling too? ive tried an akai play mini and a electric piano and the difference is huge ! im looking for the usb of the mini and the keys of the piano. the donner looks perfect, idk if its overkill for a beginer tho
You know johnny I'd love to see a video on the Casio Privia Px5s
I am learning keyboard and owns a cts300 but everytime I play my friend's ct s1, I can't help to recall the cts300 sound horrible yet i really like the rhythmic features of cst300. Do you have any recommendations for the next better keyboard to get from here?
Just getting into piano and hoping that I can get my kids to love it too. I am leaning towards the kawai es120 or the Yamaha arius ydps 35. Which one do you think is better?
Hey Jeremy would you recommend 1100$ for the es120 and kit to have it as a console or the ydp 165? im stuck between the two and want to make the right choice
Ciaooooo Jeremy e complimenti sempre per i tuoi video sempre interessanti potresti fare un video con i migliori stage piano. Io sono indeciso tra il Roland fp90x, il dexibell s7pro m, il casio px 6000.....un consiglio?
video good thank you 🌸
Can I record sound directly from Casio CT-S1 into an audio interface using a stereo MiniJack to Jack cable?
Hi Jeremy and thank you for your very informative reviews. I want to buy keybord for my son, so that he have the oportunity of portability when play in school events, or with his friends in the future. I thougt that ew425 would be a good buy, price wise. The only thing that troubles me is the 64 voice polyphony, considering the fact of playing with sustain pedal and the simultaneous use of accompaniments and/or other effects. Please enlighten me! Thank you.
If i want the best sound and key action at the same time, do i have to go with Yamaha YDP-S35 or Kawai ES-120?
Excellent Demo on the World Best' Pianos and Keyboards Best Wishes Cheers
Many thanks!
Hi Jeremy i own psr E433. When i play with accompaniment, there is no sound when i play chords on the left. Do i have to do some settings or is it the keyboard is faulty? Would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. But if not mistaken CTS300 is only 2 levels of touch sensitivity...
I'm looking for one that has split and lesson with weighted keys on it that is a Yamaha I have never played piano. I like your advice on a good pick for what I'm looking for.
Hey Jeremy, do have any advice for a keyboard for streetmusic?
Happy to see the Korg Liano on here. I'm hopefully buying one soon.
Good choice!
One of my best selling units of late. Very good value and durability is good for a lightweight piano.
Hi, what would be your honest review for Rockjam RJ5061.
We are planning to buy for our 7yr old.
Would you recommend I get Yamaha psr e373 or casiotone cts300? I would use headphones to play the keyboard so speaker quality not matter to me.
ALESSIS!! Very cool!!
I am a professional keyboardist and, for rehearsals or a short gig, I would regularly need a more portable keyboard with good piano sounds, also el. pianos, and a few different Pop Organ sounds. Years ago, I played a Casio (possibly 73 or 88 keys), which came with a base. That Casio had a great action and excellent sounds options. Very unfortunately, I was never able to get the model number despite my repeated requests. I would also be interested in a Yamaha. I would be very grateful if you could steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. And keep the good work !
Roland FP 10 owner here! Thanks for all videos!
Thanks for watching!
Hello,
Can you please explain me which one is the best one between the P 45 and P145?
Thanks
Between a roland fp30x and the kawai es120. Which one do you recommend?
