Justin - This piano is an alternative to an acoustic upright piano, not a grand piano. At a time when digital pianos play as well or better than low/midrange acoustic upright pianos costing twice as much, the word 'real" is a bit passé. Is my watch not real because I don't need to wind it?
@@Zoco101 I don't want to argue, but comparing the sound and natural resonances of an acoustic piano to winding a watch seems a bit simplistic, don't you think? I appreciate digital pianos and how they've evolved, but there's something organic about playing on a real piano action, even if it's a well-maintained low-range upright. The feeling of all the cabinet resonances, the volume, the tone production, the dynamics, and the tactile sensation of pressing a key and sensing the mechanisms at work-it's all irreplaceable. Anyone who has ever played a real piano would understand. Digital pianos have their practical advantages in terms of price and portability. However, the authenticity of the real thing will never go out of style or as you've put: 'passé'.
@@Oliver-uh5ze I felt the same way as you do until recently. Nowadays I meet few well maintained acoustic pianos and lots of excellent digital pianos. Also, few experienced pianists lack experience on acoustic pianos, and yet despite what you say, they are not all agreeing with you about the complete inferiority of digital pianos, some of which are hybrids featuring almost complete actions that were originally designed for acoustic pianos. The advantages of acoustic pianos are also more evident in classical music, but I think that the majority of digjtal piano players are more into modern music And have you tried any of the recent digital pianos? I mentioned the wiindup watches because some enthusiasts are/were very ready to denounce digital watches, as lacking soul and so on, but both types work well. Anyway, no offence is intended, and I'm happy that you still love acoustic pianos, as do I, at least when they are good ones. IMO the best ones still stand head and shoulders above the digitals and digital hybrids. There we can certainly agree.
Hi What made this channel really special was Stu’s playing both in length and quality. Now in a six-minute long video we can barely hear the instrument 30 seconds or so. I’d say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 😊
It would be interesting to compare LX6 to software instruments like Keyscape. I remember a year or 2 ago, hardware and software pianos were compared on this channel. I would like to see updated version of those reviews.
I'm afraid I'm not in the market for a new piano - just curious to know. I think for many one advantage of digitals was the more compact size. Now it seems they're more like an acoustic upright - what's in the extra space?
Well the market is full of more compact digital pianos, there is something for everyone. This is for a person who wants a larger digital piano. Some of it is maybe for the looks, some of it for better speaker placement (tweeters are higher, so closer to ears), some of it to allow space for more complicated key action etc.
You combine the advantages of an acoustic piano (sound quality, touch) with those of a digital one (versatility, number of sounds, for example). My CA-901 can sound like the greatest concert grands in existence. Or like a Rhodes.
There are many customers that want the size and aesthetic of an acoustic piano, but need the flexibility, convenience, and additional features (i.e. volume control, headphone capabilities, etc.) of a digital piano. Models like the LX6 are a great option for those living in condos, apartments, or townhouses where volume control is a necessity.
That is something that every player will have to determine for themselves. If you can notice a substantial difference between the two, I think the premium is justified. For me, the most significant update was the action's sensor system on the new LX models. They are far more faster and accurate than their predecessors. This gives a very true rendering of a player's performance nuances.
Very good video! I'm torn between a Roland LX 6 and the Casio AP-750. In your opinion, is the LX 6 worth the extra charge over the Casio? Which of the two do you find the speaker to be better? And which one is better for a beginner?
It all comes down to personal preference and subjectivity. They're both excellent pianos with amazing tones and speaker systems. It really comes down to what your musical preferences are. The LX6 has a much heavier action compared to the AP750, which is on the lighter side. If you favour a heavier touch, the LX6 would naturally have the edge. Similarly, when it comes to tone, these instruments offer different things. The Casio AP750's tonal profile is a bit brighter, where as the LX6 is a bit more neutral/balanced. In either case, you really can't go wrong. These are both exceptional digital pianos to learn on. :)
Hi Stu and thanks for the detailed review, I have an LX706 that I mainly use as a MIDI controller becasue its better MIDI output at the time, I wonder if that has also changed/improved in the LX6 or is it the same MIDI module used in both models?
Hi! Brent here! Thanks for the question! The sensor system has been updated/improved on the new LX6 model. It is far faster than its predecessor, which provides more detailed tracking of a player's performance nuances, articulations, and dynamics.
The LX6 is an excellent piano on all fronts! Not everyone will be a fan of the touch screen control panel, but it is quite convenient to be able to turn it off and maintain the aesthetic of an acoustic piano.
I just got a used Samicks SU-118F from 1994 including Moving to my house, Action Regulation and Tuning for $1333 Maybe after a few years I'll recondition it , Filing or changing the hammers, and changing the old bass strings but can't find Samick spare parts anywhere nor do I know the Size and measurements of Hammers that might fit.
Very nice! Congrats on your new piano. Samick make wonderful pianos that offer excellent value. You should be able to get parts from a local Samick dealer. :)
@@MerriamPianos Thank you, I'm very happy with it, I'm in Saudi Arabia sadly we don't have Samick dealer's only Yamaha dealer that sent me the technician to fix my piano and tune it he suggested I buy these spare parts when I need them online but samick korean website has dead links and they don't respond to contacts. 😭 Maybe later I'll figure something out, Although I got my Piano I still enjoy Meriam Music UA-cam channel Reviews by Stu...I learned a lot from him. THANK YOU 🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for another interesting review. Yes, that's really good news about the mid range and the improved modelling. While I believe that modelling is the future for dp sound generation, existing modelling was indeed too cold, and sampling has remained the champion IMO, at least up intil now. I think I can hear some important difference, even streaming from UA-cam. Is it my imagination, or does the LX6 sound more enclosed (like an upright) than the LX9? In some ways I like that, as it fits the upright look. Also, I like the lower profile because you can see over the piano - useful in rehearsals. Hope to try an LX6 or an LX9 in a showroom
You're welcome! Thank you for tuning in! The LX6 definitely has a tighter, more compressed sound, which echoes that of an upright more than a grand. This is primarily due to the different speaker systems, but it is possible that there are some differences at play in the tone engine side of things too. I totally understand your sentiments about modelling versus sampling, but I must say that these new LX and GP models are challenging the notion that modelling is not quite there yet. These LX and GP models sound so impressively authentic! They're really a dream to play. :)
Absolutely! Because of the speaker positioning, it sounds wonderful from the player's perspective regardless of where the piano is placed in the room in my opinion. :)
Yes, it is quite a substantial difference given the longer key stick and pivot length. It is a bit heavier, but offers a greater degree of control in my opinion.
Roland grand hybrid action has an unusually deep key dip I didn’t notice at first, the key travel feels too long to sound a note… I think it’s needs to be a touch shallower to represent a real acoustic piano.
The key depth varies amongst acoustic pianos as well, so there is no set standard in that regard. But, I do agree that the Grand Hybrid action has a longer key travel than other digital piano models.
For sure! The speaker system definitely contributes to the amazing sonic experience of course. With that said, maybe the next generation of portable digitals will up their game in terms of the sonic experience they provide. :)
I tried this piano while compairing digital and accoustic pianos and loved it! ... Until I tried the sustain, hit 2 notes at once at the same force and 1 of the notes dropped significantly... then I heard that same exact problem in every digital piano I tried afterwards. Am I crazy xD This definitely felt and sounded the closest to a real piano in the store I was.
The sustain and decay of a note on a digital piano is one of the toughest things to properly render. Modelling engines, like the one featured on the LX6, compensate for this by processing the sound in real time and avoiding the looping of samples, but it is not quite 100% representative of an acoustic piano of course. However, I'd say the work Roland is doing is amongst the most cutting edge in the space. :)
My very subjective viewpoint. I have a Roland with SuperNatural and I find it's mid-range unearably harsh. Roland's constant rebranding of sound engines also makes me suspect that, unlike Kawai or Yamaha, they are very confused as to what their pianos should sound like. This piano sounds very nice, but when Stu is playing what doesn't?
Tone is in the fingers to some extent of course. Stu can definitely make any piano sound like a million bucks haha! I'd say that Roland is a company that is always innovating and looking to close the gap between a digital and acoustic piano experience.
I have the LX6 and it is very twangy from c4-c5 and grates on me tbh. It can be alleviated a little bit with individual key character settings but I firmly believe it to be an issue it even persists into the mellow. One of the best keyboards in the digital space but shame about the harshness in the middle. Stage and upright settings are unplayable.
@@knives6683 That's very interesting and I agree. On my F107, the mellow pianos just sound dull and not mellower at all. The onboard sound is okay to practice but when I plug in a VST is another planet.
I understand what you mean. We had a HP702 in church and I just can't get some of the notes in mid range to my liking, even with the piano designer. Several to left of middle C sound hollow and brash. But 702 is a great instrument nonetheless. I think this LX6 will be my next purchase, it's getting to be an addiction - buying pianos, incurable!
Stu, Brent... I love your reviews! But... I've tested the LX 6 in a shop having both digital and acoustic pianos. The LX6 (the same goes for the Kawai CA 901 and the Casio GP 510 or really any digital piano in that shop) sounds so bad compared to an acoustic piano!! It sounds so digital, dull, liveless, ''plastic'' , non vibrant, etc etc. It doesn't compete AT ALL to the real thing. I was so deceived after having seen all your reviews on digital pianos in which at times you really seem very positive. I really don't understand. If you agree with me, it might be a good idea to mention in your digital piano reviews how enormously less beautiful these digital pianos sound compared to the acoustics in order to not gets the hopes up for your viewers. What do you think of that? Ps: I own a YAMAHA G2 acoustic baby grand and a Roland Fp-10
Hi, Brent from Merriam Music here! When it comes to music and pianos, beauty is in the ear of the beholder. Every pianist will have different preferences and expectations when it comes to assessing an instrument. While I personally agree with the notion that there is a sonic nuance and magic that an acoustic piano possesses, which has not quite been captured in any digital piano yet. With that said, I think there are many digital pianos on the market that are more than well-equipped to provide an extremely satisfying and rewarding musical experience to even high-level players.
@@MerriamPianos I think that consumers are tired of this marketing chatter, the quality of samples has not changed significantly for a dozen or so years, please connect regular VST, add average studio monitors and compare with "high end" digital pianos, you have to be deaf not to hear the significant difference with the benefit of VST of course, consumers have to pressure manufacturers and reach for VST more often, otherwise we will be stuck in this mud for years
I like you channel, but this is too much technical BS, sorry. Like D/A conversion. There will always be a D/A conversion somewhere in the sound chain and if it's done in the sound engine (what does that even mean) or closer to the amplifier does not make any difference. Then a meter of copper wire to the analog speakers. And...in this case the D/A conversion will not fix the poor piano sound. I've plaid many pianos and this sound flat and not very inspiring. Especially the sustained notes sound very artificial and lifeless.
Hi, Brent from Merriam Music here. Tonal preference is a deeply subjective matter of course. What is inspiring to one player may not be inspiring to another. Also, while these granular technical details may not seem like they'd have a big impact in the resultant tone, they can play a big part in some cases. The devil is in the detail as they say. Thanks for tuning in and supporting our channel! Happy playing! :)
While no piano will ever sound the same as a real grand piano, this definitely has a gorgeous sound
Absolutely! Roland is certainly closing the gap these days. :)
