    I bought the Roland FP30X last month and I'm delighted with it. I really like the key action and the key surface texture. For me, it makes a big difference in my enjoyment when playing. My wife says the main piano sound has more of an electronic note than the Yamaha. I think it's due to the speakers. Some speakers need time to 'relax' and soften. The sound is fine on headphones which is what I normally use anyway so it's not an issue for me.
    The Roland was £80 less than my 2nd choice Yamaha P225 (on Amazon). My previous keyboard was the Yamaha DGX-630. I bought a Z-frame stand with trolley wheels that's proved useful to maneuver the piano e.g. when cleaning. Although it's classed as a portable it's still pretty heavy (15kg)

    Great review, I have watched several review videos of all four, and they all are great. Any one is a win. But, Roland is my favorite brand, but for the price, I would get the FP-E50, now $100 cheaper at $900, or the new RD-08, which is a slightly less expensive version of the RD-88.

  • @AdamRiccinto
    @AdamRiccinto 3 місяці тому +3

    These are all really excellent instruments for the price point. Obviously sound and feel is going to be quite subjective. Roland has a pretty rich piano sound but it's a sound unique to its own because of the modeling Roland does. The Yamaha is clearly a Yamaha Grand sample and the Kawai is clearly a kawai Grand sample. Between them, I find the Kawai to be more accurate and I've always just preferred the sound of kawai to Yamaha anyway. This particular Casio doesn't happen to do much for me but I've heard others that I liked quite a bit.

    • @inkinthesnow4638
      @inkinthesnow4638 15 днів тому

      I agree completely. I used to have a Roland and found the sound incredibly rich and unique - nothing like any acoustic I’ve heard or samples I’ve heard. Unfortunately for me I found the action of it too heavy or perhaps too unique. I switched to Kawai which has a beautifully balanced touch to me and just loved the Kawai grand sound.
      I own a Kawai Mp7se which I believe uses the same sound samples, so it feels right at home to me. And yes the Yamaha just has the Yamaha sound which you can’t go wrong with.
      How lucky we are to have all these choices these days! 😊

      Yes. When I went piano shopping, I had never heard of the DGX-670 but it was the one I kept going back to. When I found the price, it was half what I expected based on the other pianos I had played that day.

    It appears to me that when it comes to a musician’s opinion about an instrument, it is very subjective and personal. If you have 10 comments then you will have 10 different views of what they believe is best and why. I think I would be happy with any of the ones you reviewed in this video. I play for my own satisfaction and that , to me is what counts on the bottom line. I just love music. It part of my soul. Amen😂

    I have owned a Roland FP-E50 that I really liked, but unfortunately had defect after defect, so much so that it spent more time being sent back to the store than it was in my home. This really has me turned off of Roland purchases in the future. I then tried to replace the FP-E50 with a NuX NPK20, but that was a huge downgrade from the FP-E50, it sounds very poor and feel mediocre. I am now looking at Yamaha, but am not a fan of the lack of a digital display. So I'll probably look towards the P525 instead.

      I agree, but I find that a bit weird as I've found the ES-120 to be warmer than most in some other reviews.
      All-in-all I'm leaning strongly towards buying the Roland FP-30X after many hours of research. Just need to try a couple for myself.
