Hi Jeremy, your link to the Donner actually leads to the Roland F10
Hi! where is roland fp10 :D
ROLAND best keys in it's range price, for under 1000 . i own a RP102 and it's better then yamaha at this range. beats the YDP, even some CLP
@@bogdanbuda8118 Korg D1 has the best keybed, it's what they use in models double the price. Jermey has a video with the D1 (which is rare on youtube)
I think, you accidentally confused the Donner Keyboard with a Roland Keyboard
Casio really stepping up the flare factor along with great portability. Love the red and white options!
"The only reason you'd avoid the DEP 20 is if you're a brand snob and displaying this piano would devalue your bourgeois decor" lmao
😉
Damn, that's me in a nutshell
Donner brand is not available in India 😭😭
@@smnkumarpaul pubaji mobaile
I really dislike the Sound of it. It has synthesia vibes to it
This was super helpful! I just started lessons and need a good keyboard, but was completely overwhelmed when shopping for a keyboard to practice with. This gave me a much better understanding of everything. Thank you!
I'm just in the sale situation now...😅
Read a lot of descriptions, seen videos..looked a lot of products and now feeling lost in such a big amount of indormation.. couldn't manage to decide which piano or keyboard to choose...🤦🏽♀️😅
But finally I found this video and now already get out of the fog ( of confused ideas on what instrument to buy).
Thank - you so much Jeremy ❣🌻
Very useful video your one ❣🌞
You nailed it regarding Donner vs. Brand Snobs! So helpful and candid. Thank you!
15 years ago, I got a Kawai D-piano for my kids. Best investment return for a musical instrument. Now I am currently shopping for a Arranger, probably the Korg EK-50. Thanks for your informative reviews and your singaporean accent. Huat ah!
Lovely pictures of you and your family ❤️.
Piano is an amazing instrument and so fun to learn.
Let's hope 2022 will be a great year 🙏.
Great video again, always addressing practical subjects, and a great demo of the featured keyboards. They are all great for what the are. The Donner is one of those off brands that will be shunned like you said, but it's hard to beat the features with affordable price.
I still like the Alessis Recital Grand Prestige, but it's hard to beat the Casio and Yamaha with more product volume available and their reputable quality, features and performance. But like you stated, maybe the Yamaha P125 would be a better keyboard, for more money.
The bottom line is choosing the right one for your budget and features and key action that suits you best.
There's a great keyboard for any one who's eager to learn! ❤️
Jeremy, thank you for your expertise. I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I played the drum for years. I"ve worked myself back to my first love. Thank you
Fantastic overviews of each keyboard, thanks!
I've been waiting for a video like this. Thanks Jeremy.
Thank you, took a mental note of your advices and recommendations! Big help sir, many thanks! Hope to start practicing very soon!🎶
Amazing video, very instructive and helpful! Thank you so much!
The Recital Grand sounds so beautiful. Thanks for your help Jeremy!
Only thing I can think of to ask for is music piece titles so I can make a note of tunes I want to learn. 🤩 Thanks so much Jeremy for all you do. Your channel is the best 👍
Great and inspiring video! Might I suggest an even cheaper and better sounding (though slightly more cumbersome) option? A used 88 key piano that has midi but does not sound or look as good can still have very nice keys to play. I have a Viscount Viva X with Fatar TP-9 keybed that I bought for around €100. Add a Mac Mini (2010)for €100 that is plenty fast to run Modartt Pianoteq (starting from €100). Then add speakers (I have SoundSticks 2 for €40) and you get the most realistic and dynamic playing piano that will beat all suggestions for sound quality and playability (not convenience, granted). I built it into the case of a gutted old and painted over acoustic upright and have never been happier. Great sound, headphone-ability, volume control and expandability (though modartt piano packs cost €50 each, there is a yearly sale and a yearly contest that gives you discounts.)
Terrific Advice as always. Love the "Howl's Moving Castle" Theme on these boards, beautiful composition that really brings out the piano tone.
Happy new year and thanks for your compliments, Frank! ❤️
Same to you my friend, hope you and your family had a good one. Quiet times here in NY, cold weather and Omicron are keeping us close to home for now. Safe and dry.
Oo. Thanks I have been trying to find out what the piece was!
Can howls moving castle (Merry Go Round of life) be played on a 61 key piano too?
Thank you Jeremy for this epic comparisons. I decided to start to play the Piano and from your videos I learned a lot about how to choose my first one. I decided to get the Casio CDP-S160 what I love ever since!
Thank you for the quality and helpful videos! 🎉
Superb choice! 👍
Jeremy, you are a pianist genius! Thank you for your great explanations and videos of the piano keyboards. They have helped me greatly in my buying decisions, and in my understanding of the keyboard genre.
Glad to help!
I've been finding your videos to be so helpful! My 6 year od daughter just started lessons and I am re-learning with her at, wait for it, 44 years old. We have a Yamaha P 125 on the way to replace the PSR E273 she got as a gift from the grandparents. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all the great info. Wanting to start learning Piano , this would be a good way to that end.
Great video Jeremy, thank you. I've already decided on a cheaper EW310 to get me started again as it's been a while since I played but I still like to see reviews of others and to hear how they sound plus their features.
Have a great day.
Great choice buddy! Have fun.
That keyboard sounds a bit like the old electric pianos that the Beetles and the Doors played in songs like Riders On the Storm.
This was really helpful! Thanks!
Happy new year Jeremy! Amazing review and explanation. 👏
Happy new year!
I used to play piano in middle school and I miss it, this video is super helpful man. :)
This is a very enlightening video, especially if you are a beginner. I would be interested in knowing what you recommend for those of us who have been playing a bit longer and don't have the money to spend for an acoustic grand, but could buy one of the better digitals, preferably one that sounds like an acoustic piano in a smaller cabinet.
👍👍 Thank you for taking the time to do these videos! They are super helpful. I was about to purchase the Donner then I found this video. Now I can't decide between the Donner and the Casio. Both have apps plus the other features (weighted keys, etc). Which is the more robust of the two? I used to at piano a long time ago. By the time I stopped playing I was an advanced beginner. Not sure if that helps in guiding me to a decision.
First thing I learned right after this video is that getting into piano is EXPENSIVE!
Not really…
Couldn’t agree more…
Hi Jeremy! I just want to say thank you for your videos. I'm 64 years old and have decided to fill one of my bucket lists: learn an instrument. The piano came in second, only because I really wanted to learn the drums but I'm certain my condo neighbors would be beating down my door and out of respect the piano became the next choice.
I love your videos, especially for a beginner. I've whittled your recommendations down to making a decision and buying a piano. You have no idea how tenacious I will be to learn. My dream is to play one of my favorite songs and sing along, pretend I'm a singer and I'm on stage. Lol!
Keep striving!
@@JeremySee Lol! Come hell or high water I will learn an instrument before I die!
@@marytom100 Me too.
I was also interested in learning drums. Some older women on CZcams seem to be able to do it. But, I was dissuaded when I found out how hard it is to keep drumming at a consistent speed without getting tired and slowing down. Very difficult. Without buying electronic drums, just tried to play along with Eye of The Tiger on my kitchen table. Many failed attempts over months. Now moving on to learning classical piano, which I have always loved. This video was a good starting place.
@@jeans.5252 Try playing the same beat on the drum for "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel for 17-18 minutes.
A beginner don't usually think about performing in public. I've seen street performers with a cheap keyboard that may not have weighted keys on a portable stand. The closest option would be the Casio since it's the lightest to carry around.
Between a Yamaha P-125 & 45 you get more powerful speakers & a few more sounds. For a beginner hardly justify paying more to get a 125 than the more basic 45.
Thank you. Your video helped me a lot.
Love the Howl's Moving Castle piece. Good video.
Thanks for this video.
I already have an upright piano at home which was used by my sister who moved to another country. I can play the piano (barely) yet I didn't want to disturb my parents and neighbors when I'm either practicing or butchering a piece.
Great info!
I swear I was just watching the 2021 edition and thinking about a new video:)) Thanks mate!
so i played piano consistently from ages 5-10 and stopped because i got too busy. recently (at 15) i’ve been wanting to pick it back up and want to be able to play in my room instead of the living room where the acoustic piano is. your videos have been very helpful to me making my decision in buying a keyboard! thank you so much!!
Hi, could you tell me which one you ended up buying ? Thank you
you got busy? 😂
@@baranakin2 yes kids also have school and friends and a social life and other hobbies like every person
@@sexyloures2 right❤️
Hi Jeremy! I'm looking for a solid beginners' keyboard with Bluetooth Midi around this price range. I've been looking at the FP-10 (500$) and the Casio PX-S1100 (650$) but I'm not sure if these are the best options. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
nice job keep it up you are the best
Thanks im sending this info on to my students!
Thank you for your good work, Jeremy. You're a star!
I appreciate that!
Jeremy's Content Never Disappoints!!
I've been playing on an old $100 used spinet piano so I've rlly been needing a new piano, thx for the help :)
nice video, I watched an older video too with 61 keys.
It would be very nice if you added timestamps with the keyboard names for easier re-watching since review videos often needs repeating.
Well done Jeremy! It's a good list.
Happy new year Mike!
Hello Jeremy. I wanted to ask you, which arranger brand is better for style creation, in terms of functionality and difficulty in use?
Hi Jeremy, i have been playing piano for a year and a half now and i need an affordable digital piano for carrying around. I was thinking about buying the casio ct-s1 . I just want good playability and i was wondering if the keys are too light because the piano i am playing in the moment has quiet heavy keys. Love your content keep up the awesome work!
Hey jeremy, I've been playing for some time by now and I'm looking for a good piano that reproduces very well the weight and feel of an acoustic's keys so I can train better the finger strenght. Do you think the p45 will do for an intermediate to advanced player?
Hello to you . Thank you for your good videos. I started with the KORG PA4X Oriental 76.. keyboard a year ago, I learned well, but I felt it was still a little early... I sold it and now I want to learn the basics and properly. Which keyboard do you think is good for learning piano and playing oriental songs? thanks
Hi Jeremy, which should I choose to learn piano between a casio cts-1 or an alesis recital 88? Their prices at my country are around 270 usd for the casio and 335 for the alesis, obviously i am aware that the alesis is an 88 Keys but I have seen your reviews od the casio and it looks really good, i might have a device of better perfromance with 61 Keys than 88. Thanks and congratulations.
Hi Jeremy! I appreciate all your review very much. Now I’m considering 2 options: Alesis recital pro and Starfavor Sp-150w. Can you tell me your thoughts, which one would you choose? Thank you!
Great Video i loved
Between the P45 and the CDP-S110/S160, which has the better key action, Jeremy?
After your review I wanted to buy the Casio but there isn't a sales point in Switzerland unfortunately. Thank you for the great review.
Hi Jeremy! I have seen a review you did for Korg over yahama. I got interested in owning Korg Piano but I have few things to ask. Does Yahama piano series styles play to Korg piano keyboard. 2. Does it have Transpose Feature. In Kenya mostly we create our styles using Yahama style creator since most of inbuilt styles don't much our Music. Also we sings mostly in choirs with different Keys and learning most Keys needs time and a lot of practice.
Love the different key rendition at 2:27!!! Even after so many years of on and off practice I'd love to be able to play like that... Saving for my own personal reference
What is the piece called?
@@itzz_FrankyHowls Moving Castle Theme
Is there a software package and production suite for any of these 5 keyboards, like you get for the korg liano?
I‘d like to have this option but combined with a real-pianolike weighted keyboard
Thanx for your help and the great videos!

Hi Jeremy!
I want to buy a piano.
I am between Roland Fp30x or Korg B2sp ???
Which is better in your opinion?
Wich sounds better?
More professional for a pianist ....
I really apreciate your expert opinion!
PLEASE Help me decide!
Sir Jeremy .. Good day to you . I am pheeynah from Nigeria. Been browsing online to get a concrete “learn how to play the keyboard as a beginner “ . I have downloaded a couple of them and also Simply piano and was so glad when I saw your review on it . But the piano I have now is a psr sx 700 . it’s for my band . I want to ask if I can also learn with it.
🎹 .. hiya! I'm looking for a cheap midi controller / practice piano, but i love the feel and action of _good_ higher-end Yamaha (baby grands, es88, etc). I don't care about the sound, but would prefer versatility (hence MIDI controller) packed with my target tactile response ...
Can a proper keyboard within a low-end budget be found, or am I doomed to save up further amid this recession? 🧐
I am in between ES 120 and roland FP30x my intention is to use it to learn classical piano and connect to use it as midi controller but nothing else. Which one should i buy?
I know its very late in the year now but I have come back to this video as I have bought a piano and was wondering if you have a music sheet for the howls moving castle you were playing
Really great comparison!! I've had a P-45 for MANY years, ever since I first started playing really, and I still love it! I'm thinking of replacing it with a CK88 very soon though (hopefully sometime this summer), because the sound engine and feature set is a little meh. Now that I've become much more experienced and am playing out a lot these days, the P-45 isn't really a great gigging keyboard. But I'd say for a beginner BY FAR the best choice is the P-45!! Good luck to anyone reading this with your keyboard purchasing!!
Thanks. I'm just starting but doing okay with a really good teacher. I looked at the P-45 at Guitar Center and liked it. But I have the beginnings of carpal tunnel so would prefer unweighted keys. The guy at guitar center said it's unusual to find an 88 key with unweighted or even semiweighted keys. Any thoughts?
Some good suggestions, but what about people who are still fairly "young" in playing, but want something a bit higher level? Sound and especially action at a premium. Ones I've been considering have included:
Korg Nautilus
Yamaha Modx8
Yamaha YC88
Naturally not overpaying is nice, and "bang for the buck" is desirable, but paying a bit more to get a vastly superior KB is acceptable.
Recommendations?
which one is beat out of these 3
Jeremy am a beginner
So Yamaha psr E463- Casio CT x3000 and KORG EK 50 which one is good or sound better for West Africa music
best video i was trying to find a good piano
Hey grate vid but witch is your best piano in your opinon in this video
Happy new Year and thanks for the Video! I just bought the Roland FP-30X yesterday and i'm really happy. Your videos helped me a lot. I'm looking forward to my piano journey
Great choice. Have fun!
As one of the most dedicated Roland fans here, though I like the other brands, it's hard to beat the Roland Digital Pianos like yours. They are general more expensive, but well worth it.
It's out of stock everywhere, where did you buy it from?
Hey I just ordered it, how was your experience? Action and sound and feel?
And if you pay a bit more you can get the excellent Roland Fp30x this piano is amazing!
I'd been getting by with a cheap keystation keyboard with a modwheel for the last few years.
Then, I just got an 88 key keyboard as a gift. But it does not have a modwheel whereas my old cheap keyboard did have one and I used it a fare amount for string orchestras.
I really want to use the new keyboard but the lack of modwheel is a huge hit.
Does anyone have a tip or any suggestions. Or any recommendation for external controler that can be used as a modwheel?
Thank you.
"Devalue your bourgeois décor !" LOL. Congratulations from Paris for your vidéo. A real help for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Now that’s interesting. I didn’t know the weighted keys on the Alesis was a balanced action and not scaled. I wonder if it’s the same keys used on the M-Audio Hammer 88 (original, not pro version).
Hi Jeremy what do you think of the korg lp-380? I have one and as a beginner it feels pretty good
You' re the man Jeremy. 👍👍👍🎹🎹🎹🎼🎵🎶
Thank you!😍
Happy New Year
what do you recommend yahamas p45 or yahama p125 (leave the price)
Many Thanks 🎹🎹🎹
great video as always! can someone please tell me what the song was at 8:55? thank you
Always u r the best choosing musical person .. wondering which is affordable for beginners in India, My kid 8 and 13 eager to play piano ... Kindly help me choosing in India
Hi Jeremy! Your videos have been incredibly useful lately and I’m still trying to make a purchase decision. From some of your earlier lists the NUX NPK-10 seemed very promising in terms of its feature-set and undercuts the P45 in price. Would you consider the NUX a good buy in comparison?
In same delimmea ... What did you bought for yourself ?
Nux NPK10 better than P45
@@leorandasabastian8742 what about its durability?
hi you, i am a newbie, i have 1 question and i will very happy if you answer me hihi. I want to buy casio px730 to start learning piano. I want to hear your advice about this piano. Thank u very much
I currently live in Vietnam and for some reason the shops here have the Yamaha p45 priced much less the the other digital pianos in this video which I find strange but lucky me, I guess, as I plan to buy one soon.
I have Yamaha P-45, at the start it was okay but 1-2 years later it made me hate playing, keys got too loud and clicky, only buy if you're planning to upgrade after. Now i'm looking for a more reliable action.
I don't understand which of these you consider overall to be the best. Is this an ordered list? Is your #1 also the one you recommend overall the most?
Hi Jeremy, what do you think about the Roland GO 88P?
Hey Jeremy! Thanks for videos! Pls, write the song you are playing at 2:45...thank you
Hi Jeremy!
I wonder why you didn't put nux npk-10. Is casio cdp s160 better than npk-10? Thankyou
Would you have an updated top picks for 88 key digital pianos for beginners after your last video?
Can you recommend a keyboard for me,
88 keys,
Will use mostly default piano tone
Touch sensitive
Cheap
I wish someone made a similar list but also showing to beginners the difference between all the USB-connected apps, what apps are best to learn, how to pick a hammer action keyboard that also highlights notes under keys or above them, etc.
Check the description of the video - Jeremy has also recommend learning apps!!
Heloo there! Do you guys happen to know which would be better choice between this Alesis Recital pro piano and the Technics SX-P50?
Is the glarry 101 a good digital piano to start with to learn to play piano
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for this great review ,I’m just wondering if Korg B2 is good in comparison with these Digital pianos?!
Hi Jeremy. Happy New Year. As an older beginner looking to buy his first keyboard and after watching countless of your videos I had all but decided to buy the Korg EK50. But after your review of the Casio CTS400 keyboard which impressed me, and it is $150 cheaper here in NZ I am having second thoughts. Saving $150 would free up some money for me to take online tutorials. There is someone in Singapore who does online tutorials. I wonder if he could teach an old goat like me to play?
Howdy! My oldest student is 93 years old. You are but a lamb. 😉 www.jeremysee.com
@@JeremySee Thank you for your reply. When I get my keyboard I will sign up for your tutorials. Cheers.
How would the Roland FP-10 compare with the rest of these?
I`m here with a almost new 2000`s Yamaha YDP-101. They`re seeling this for 1/5 the price of a similiar YDP today. My question is: this prices is very low and confortable to someone how is starting the piano, but is it a good deal?
Can these pianos be used in a DAW similar to a midi keyboard? Tnx!
I think I’ll be going with the Donner DDP 20. I’m curious what song is being played at the 10 minuet mark?
The yamaha P45 has the same key size as a piano you found in the streets or a shoping center?
Because I've read that some keyboards have 2 types of key sizes, and that if you're a beginner you need to buy one that has real-size keys and not diminished, since that's how you get used to it and you'll be able to play on any piano you find.
My 7 year old son has taken up interest in taking lessons. The teacher gave us list of pianos to purchase and 2 of them is the Yamaha p45 & donner DEP 20, I'm confused as to which one to get
Hi Jeremy! Thank you very much for yours reviews! They are very useful!
What about Casio CDP 350?
