Great video! Both keyboards are fantastic. I almost got the PSR-E373 last Christmas, but had more money and bought a Roland Go:Keys, instead, because the Yamaha was not in stock at my local music store. The S1 was not as available at that time, but I am definitely getting the S1 next. The PSR-E373 is great if you need more than 61 voices and the arranger functions, but I prefer the Casio S1. They both sound nice, especially when you're playing them.
I like the sound of the E373 listening on my laptop. I believe the 373 is at least $100 to $150 more. It appears you are partial to the S1. You are an extraordinarily fine pianist. It seems your mix and match with two keyboards works well for you. The S1 is a very nice compact keyboard which has a lot of advantages. I have the Yamaha DGX-670 which I have combined with Pianoteq Pro. The grand piano sound of the two combined is extraordinary. Have you tried playing the Yamaha from the Casio or vice versa? Is it even possible? The touch issue with the Yamaha may not be as important as you think as it relates to a listener, but if it bugs you that's what counts. If I was just buying one and didn't care about the size I would go for the Yamaha however many people have purchased the S1 and like it a lot, including you.
I could listen all day (and into the night)! 🥰 You are the Maestro! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent that surely inspires all who tune in. I have both the CT-S1 and the 76 key Yamaha PSR-EW310. I am a beginner at 69 years, retired, with childhood memories of my father playing Clair De Lune. 🎹🎶♥
@@bloody_me_put-in Amazon in the US recently offered the ew-310 on a payment plan with no interest! I hope you have your own soon! Where there is music there is an absence of madness!🎶🎹🙂
Another great video from yourself, your playing is an inspiration to me. CTS-1 Because all the features of an arranger keyboard are a massive distraction from learning play properly.
Great playing and amazing review. Thank you for your content, it really helps a lot. I wanted to ask if you are using some external amplifier or just the fabric speakers. Thank you !
Hi Maestro, would like your opinion on what is best between Yamaha PSR E373 or Yamaha NP12 or NP35. Im torn between the two. Btw, so happy I bought my PSS A50 because of your videos. Thank you
Thank you for your message! I think the NP-15 or NP-35 is better for performances that focus on piano sounds, such as solo piano. If you want to enjoy a gorgeous ensemble, I think E-373 is good ♪☺✨
One year after this video, the PSR-E373 is still great, and now, the PSR-E473, and even more do, the 76 Key PSR-EW425, with it's louder speakers and some extra improved voice tones if you want an auto arranger. The latter is probably the best 76 note keyboard at that price range. Something I would get primarily for the larger keyboard, something I would get if I didn't need an 88 note weighted keyboard, which I would opt for the Roland RD-88. But I love my new CT-S1, and get very inspired with you playing that, the PSS-A50, and the Reface CP that I may get in the future. Thank you again for your great, amusing and relaxing videos. Your humor and cute cat and animal touches and video production is great. The CT-S1 is unmatched for the sound, keyboard action, portability, design format and versatility for it's price. It would be great if they came out with an updated model like I stayed for semi-professionsl use with ¼" stereo output & headphone jacks, pitch bend wheel metal speaker grilles, and maybe 128 note polyphony, which is really not necessary for a non auto arranger. Also amused at that video with your huge seaweed wrapped rice ball, what we call musubi in Hawai'i. I also plan to get a Roland Go:Mixer Pro-X that seems to have a lot of flexible and useful applications for a small performance, live streaming and recording setups. I have the original Roland CD2 CF/CD professional recorder that can do a lot of things. I also plan at getting an Apple iPad 6 256G in the future to go with my 3rd Generation iPhone SE 256G zi may be able to use similar to your video using the PSS-A50, MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Many UA-cam reviewers rave about how the iPad 6 is much better overall than the other bigger and more expensive iPad models, and easier to handle for the size. Aloha, and Arigato.
Thank you for always watching my videos! Just like you are trying various things, I will also try various things from now on. I hope you will continue to watch my videos!
Thank you very much. Your reviews are very useful. Specially this one cause I have bought a Cts1 just a few days ago. You put the Cts1 next to you I see something of your evaluation in that position as you are very cautious in the comparison. The other the phrase for the Cts1 "I can use it in a live performance" in my opinion reveals your choice. I have used a Yamaha e273 these days and my new cts1 and after playing in the cts1 really the PSR 273 keys result bad. the 373 has similar keys. And the 273 is not nice because the volume doesn't vary and the 373 you say also doesn't detect your pressure too much. So, I think that I did right buying the cts1. Greetings from Argentina Republic
How is the Action feel of the S1? You didn't really talk about how the action felt. Does it feel cheap? Too springy? Too light? I had the Go Keys briefly, and the action of that keyboard was so stiff, I ended up selling it. Never could get used to the feel.
I think the feel of the S1 keybed is very good ☺👍✨ The springiness is just right and it doesn't feel cheap. The GO:KEYS keyboard is definitely stiff ♪ I once asked a Roland dealer if it's closer to the touch of a grand piano.
I am still deciding on Casio CTS1, CTS500 and Yamaha PSR E473. Over here, the Yamaha E373 is cheaper than CTS1 and E473 is cheaper than CTS500. In term of features Yamaha are better but in terms of portability and keyboard feel, I think Casio is better. What do you think?
Each instrument has its strengths and weaknesses. I think that the choice of instruments will change depending on what you think is important. What do you consider most important?
@@paulyllow You are right. If you want to play piano solo, CT-S1 or CT-S500 would be better. However, if you like the sound of Yamaha's piano sound source, you will be worried.
I really love the box keys of Casio, I wish Yamaha also applies this to their standard keyboards. I was able to play the E373 at our city's store and it kind of felt stiff when pressing the keys...like I can't really connect into the keys how I feel when playing (I'm used to soft touched keys since I own an old Casio and been meaning to upgrade)... I wonder how the cts-1 keys feel when pressing.. is it soft in a way like your fingers sink into the keys? Would love to know since there's no Casio store here in my city🙌
Like you, I like Casio keyboards♪And I thought that the feeling you get when playing the E373 is the same as mine. When I play the CT-S1's keyboard, it feels soft-touch.I also like soft-touch keyboards. Thanks for your comment!!☺
I like the Yamaha, but both sound good. The S1 has some nice choices. I like the mellow sound of the S1. To me it's more about price, size, and automation features.
どちらも良いと思います。私は目的に応じて使い分けをします。ソロピアノを弾く場合はCT-S1、自動伴奏を伴ったアンサンブルを楽しむ場合はPSR-E373を選んで弾きます。 I think both are good. I use it properly according to the purpose. Select CT-S1 to play a solo piano, and PSR-E373 to enjoy an ensemble with automatic accompaniment.
When you say "keybed" you mean keyboard actions, right? I much prefer Casio's improved CT-S1 and later than Yamaha's key action like the conventional PSR-373. However, when comparing the recently released Yamaha CK61 and the Casio key action, they are equally good, but I prefer the Yamaha.
Me encanta el CT-S1. Pero lo magnífico aquí es don Masataka Kono... (¡¡¡Qué maestro!!!)

CT-S1気になってまして、ボックス鍵盤の61鍵。デモのピアノ・エレピがいいですね。音色リスト見てもピアノ、エレピはもとよりオルガンやシンセ系も充実してますし。電池可動も嬉しい所、YAMAHAのNP-32も所有してますが76鍵がやや気が重いときがあり… これくらいの手軽さが実に気になる所。弾き比べでの音色の煌びやかさは流石のYAMAHAに軍配が上がる所でしょうが、AUX-INまであるので使い勝手は色々と広がりそうです。自分が比較対象だったRolandのGO-KEY、GO-PIANOにコスパで圧勝してるので、あとは… ポチるのみとなりますｗ
CT-S1は1年以上使っていますが、YAMAHAとは違う魅力のピアノ・エレピの音色がとても気に入っています♪
@@pf_masa 早速の返信、ありがとうございます。幸か不幸か、実は賞与が入って間もないので完全に心が揺れ動いている所ですｗ でもCT-S1一択「買うか買わざるか」な感じですけどｗ 赤い筐体… 実は赤いスタンドを所有してまして「NORD」だと賞与が数か月分必要だしｗ GO-KEYより若干安い… あとはピアノとエレピの音色が充実してるところですよね。NP-32に無いAUX-INもあるし… 毎日サウンドハウスとデジマートのサイトを行ったり来たりしながら… ま、近々ポチりそうな予感です。

読んで頂いてありがとうございます。
最近いろんな鍵盤を動画で聴き比べているんですが、
KORG EK-50がとても気になっています。最初はCASIO CTK-6250が
古い割にスピーカーも良く美しいと思ったんですが、動画の音は
ライン出力で美しいということもあって、なかなか判断つかず。
そんな中 EK-50がダントツに音が良くて、価格帯も1つ上ですが
中古ならそこまで差がないので欲しくて。でも安いからとあまり欲望のままに
購入していると、家がキーボードで埋まってしまうのでw
今両者の説明書を読んで検討しているところです。
EK-50はS1と比べてどう思われますか？
EK-50は弾いてみたことが無いのですが、出力端子でLINEOUTを装備しているので、気になっていた機種の一つです。音色が気に入っているのでしたら、買ってみてとことん使い込んでみるという選択肢もありますね♪
私はS1は買って一年になりますが、ピアノ系の音色が好きで、コンパクトかつ軽量、量感あるスピーカがとても気に入っています。
@@pf_masa その後いろいろ検討したのですが、EK-50は安い中古が今出ておらず見送りました。
CTK-6250と7200が各1万2千円くらいであって、音源はAHLなのでAiXと比べると若干クッキリさに欠け
拡声器的というかカセットテープ的な音の悪さは否めませんが、比較しなければ音は太く迫力もありました。
そんなわけでシリーズ最高スペックの7200よりもメタルレッドが美しい6250を購入する気まんまんでした。
が、寸前のところでPSR-S550がなんと一万円でメルカリに出品され、慌てて確認。
検討したどれよりもよい音で高スペックと判明、苦手なシルバーにも関わらず即購入してしまいました。
10年モノの中古ですが比較的キレイに使われていて、液晶が大きく、なにより音が凄い。
このクラスのキーボードに触れるのは初めてで、感動しきりです。
よく知らずにJUNO-Dが8千円で売れてしまう様を、「古いしスピーカー無いし」と
指を加えて見送ってしまった後悔があったので、良い出会いに感謝しました。
子供の頃から何度も楽器に手を出しては続かずでしたが、今度こそ！と意気込んでおります。
いや～このクラスの音・・・聴くだけでニヤニヤしちゃいますねw

Grazie mille Maestro🙏meravigliose casio e yamaha ✌️🤗
Thank you for your comment☺✨
CT-S1 の音は本当に フェンダーの音がしているように思いました。 低価格帯はカシオが強いですね。 エレピの、この６１鍵は CT-S1 が良いと思いました。
おっしゃる通りと思います♪特にS1のエレピは、私も大好きです☺

Just piano acoustic sounds, which one better

@@JoeLinux2000 In size CT-S1 wins for sure!
バスレフの穴を前面ではなく底につけたことで
テーブルに反響した低音が本体を振動させて
生楽器のような感覚が手に伝わってくるのかな。
ヤマダ電機で試奏してこよ。
追記：試奏してきました。
S1が三色さわれて、確かに良い音でした。S400も良い音でした。
S400のほうがキレがあるというか、僅かに好みで。そんなハズはないS1の方が良いハズだ！と
無音状態で比較したくなるものの、そこは店内なので叶わず。S400のミニマムボタンは
操作が結構めんどいですね。簡単に呼び出せるマイセットアップ機能までは試せず。
E373は展示が無く、代わりに光ナビを体験しました。
何年か前に加わった「らくらくモード」が思ってたより難しくてショック。
リズムに合わせて鍵盤を叩けば、位置はどこであろうと演奏は進むのに
ただそれだけのことが結構難しい。
で結局。帰りに立ち寄ったハードオフで中古の光ナビLK-113を購入。
2009年モノですが音もそこそこ良く、まずは内蔵200曲を弾き倒すつもりです。
S1は弾けるようになってからでないと買っては駄目だ、と3日坊主を店頭でさわって確信w
光ナビは鍵盤だけでなく運指もアドバイスをくれて良い感じです。
1つ象牙調の鍵盤について。
私はつるつるピカピカの、A50のような鍵盤が好きです。
象牙調は・・・色が暗いというか、ステイン汚れというか。
鍵盤が少し灰色がかって、ポリタンクちっくというか・・・テンション下がります。
今後もずっと象牙調で行くのだろうか・・・ハンマーアクション付きの重い鍵盤なら
まだしもキーボードの軽い箱型鍵盤には安っぽくて辛いなぁ。
バスレフの効果は本当に美しかった。スピーカー自体も良い物なのでしょうけれど。
飽きずにそこそこ弾けるようになったら、S1の次か、更にその次の機種かわからないけど
今度は新品を買いたいと思います。
どちらが良いと思いますか??
どちらも良いと思います。私は目的に応じて使い分けをします。ソロピアノを弾く場合はCT-S1、自動伴奏を伴ったアンサンブルを楽しむ場合はPSR-E373を選んで弾きます。
I think both are good. I use it properly according to the purpose. Select CT-S1 to play a solo piano, and PSR-E373 to enjoy an ensemble with automatic accompaniment.
