Most interesting... My elder sister and I both bought digital pianos a year or so ago. She went for the Yamaha P45 and I chose the Casio PX-S1000. We both love our instruments and that's the most important
CASIO Privia PX-S1000 (or now 1100) is the most beautiful piano. Sounds absolutely great, looks modern and very nice and smart with glossy panel. Bluetooth function, testured keys, slim line .... I've got it and love it !
@@unotoli My friend 🙏 the supposed problem with the Casio Privia keys is a legend. Very exaggerated, it does not create difficulty for anyone. Some do not accept that this firm can make such good instruments at this price, that's why they invent defects. Just play and listen to it to judge its quality 🎹👏
@@unotoli This guy had the opposite opinion during the 2019 Namm 🤔. For the Roland, I prefer the fp10. It sounds beautiful and very close to the Privia. It's a very good choice too 👍
i owned the Yamaha which is afine piano but i wanted keys with ivory touch ,so i sold it and bought the Roland FP30x,which is also afine piano but the action is really heavy and the piano is heavy to carry around.So i sold that one too and now i have the CASIO PX1000 and im super happy with it.
Checked them out in a music store. Sound-wise there were slight variances. These sounded a little different but none better or worse perse. I went with the Casio CDP S110. (Basically the S100 but with minimally upgraded sound). Love the keys, the keyboard action. Felt sturdier and as superficial though it may be, loved its slim design. It was actually on sale and about $100 less than the Yamaha 45 at time of purchase. Had it for a year. Love it. Only downside of this along with the Yamaha P45 is that they have 64 note polyphony. These are beginner pianos and I'm no where near having to worry about dropped notes. Maybe in 7-8 years and I'm playing complex classical piece. At that time I will have gotten my money's worth and will upgrade. Really, these are great times where you can get a great sounding, lightweight, extremely affordable piano (albiet it "digital"). I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the major brands.
For me, it's the Yamaha for #1, followed by the Rolands then Alesis. Casio always sounds like it's being plucked like a harp, not struck with hammers. If I could, I'd have Yamaha's sounds and Casio's action.
1st place.The Roland fp30x sounded most impressive. 2nd place was harder, liked P45 and PX-S1000. Least liked was CDP-S100. Harry was outstanding! I would have found it very valuable if he could have commented. Thank you for this useful presentation. I'm surprised and disappointed so few responded and at that, hardly addressing your query. Oh well.
Me hubiera gustado que el pianista diera su opinion de como se siente cada piano y del sonido que le gusto, eso aporta mucho; al final creo que vemos estos videos porque recurrimos a los expertos para tener una opinion mas profesional.
Hey! I’ve been a professional musician for over 10 years now, I’ve been through music college and have a collection of keyboards like these at my home. The most impressive sound I would probably have to give to the Roland FP30x. The runner up is definitely the Roland FP10, but not far ahead of the Casio PX1000. The Yamaha is the best for the price point as it’s under the pianos above, however; I would honestly tie it with the Casio. It has better key action as-well as price, just slightly older tone quality. The lowest does have to be the Casio cdp s100 and the Alesia Prestige. The Casio does have weighted keys which puts it above the Alesia in my opinion, it’s also a lot cheaper. I personally would buy the Roland 30x or Roland FP10. They are clear winners in this video, however if you were to be in a price range of under $500 I would get either the Yamaha P45’s brother the Yamaha P71 (which is just the Amazon exclusive version which is the exact same but cheaper) or the Casio cdp s100.
I wouldn't recommend the P45, however it lasted me something like 5 years before I got rid of it. The action is fairly light and basic, sound is alright but sounds a bit muffled (especially in the bass). But, longevity-wise it's great. I had gotten a Roland at around $1000 but decided to return it because it had action issues, loud keys, some felt almost sticky, quality control issues I'd guess.
What would you recommend then? Also P45 and Cdp-s100s are too cheap to even let them compete against other ones shown in the video (Prices in my country)
@@maicolll I got the Korg D1, it uses the old style midi ports and has no on-board speakers, but it's cheaper and very high quality. I just connect it to a vst or I could use headphones. It's only $680.
I am considering buying the ALESIS Prestige Artist with 256 polyphony. I like the design very much and it is said to have very good speakers. Does anyone have experience with the piano?
I just came from Guitar Center, where I played the Alesis Prestige and the Yamaha P45. This is the second time I play both instruments in the same store, but separated by maybe 2 months. Quick answer: the Yamaha P45 has a more solid tone. The 64 notes of polyphony on the Yamaha is more than enough for any real life playing. Regarding the speakers: the Yamaha still sounds fuller, despite the claims of 50 watts of power of the Alesis. The reason is this: if you measure the true keyboard power consumption of digital pianos at full volume with a power meter, you will see they consume about 1-2 watts of amplifier power in practice, not 50 watts. That's just rated amplifier power. The Alesis has 4 micro speakers per side, about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter, whereas the Yamaha P45 has two larger speaker on the bottom, 12 cm (4.75 inches) in diameter. A simple calculation will show you which piano speakers move more air: the Alesis has 4*(pi)*(2.5)^2 = 78.5 square centimeters of surface area per speaker channel, while the Yamaha has (pi)*(6)^2 = 113.04 square centimeters of surface area. So, the Yamaha P45 speakers push more air per channel, which yields a fuller sound. In summary, the Yamaha P45 is still the better instrument for performance, but it is old... maybe you could wait until Yamaha releases their successors. The Alesis is a newer product and enjoys from some more modern technology. However, when it comes to what matters most, touch and tone, Yamaha is still better, even in their cheapest model.
Thanks for this, FLINTSTONES! Need more comments to make sense of what I’m hearing though. We’re all these recorded; mic’d, line out, or headphone out? Did the player consider all acceptable and why?
Excellent video! But why no Donner DEP-20? I think it's a great entry level for beginners as well. Sure, it's a new brand. But it is catching waves. It certainly can stand toe to toe with the Alesis Prestige.
My favorite is the Casio PX-S1000. It has such a beautiful sparkling sound and really modern look to it. Next would be the Roland FP30X which has very good sound with 56 built-in tones plus over 100 GM tones on their app. The Yamaha P45 just seems old to me and nothing special. The Casio CDP-S100 sounds just average, you might as well go up to the new CDP-S360 which is only $100 more and get tons of features but it too has the same basic piano sound. The worst to me is the Alesis. Just sounds cheap and the tone is weird.
The Casio CDP-S100 sounds weaker, like a smaller upright piano, but it's a good sound. The CDP-S360 has a new sound engine. Sounds very good to me: czcams.com/video/uhGSoSZid3A/video.html They should've included the Kawai ES110 and the ES520.
price comparison is very far for beginners. the casio px s1000 costs 50% more than the yamaha p45 and casio cdp s100, and for beginners it's important to note that not only the sharpest sound, but the action keys and key texture are the main considerations, because the main goal is practice, the key experience approaches that of an acoustic piano most often searching for. here roland fp and casio far left the yamaha p 45
The same song should be played on each instrument. Otherwise a fair comparison is not possible.
Would make for a boring video in my eyes... Or ears, if you would!

For the Roland, I prefer the fp10. It sounds beautiful and very close to the Privia. It's a very good choice too 👍
It's a bit lacking in the bass, is there an adjustment to increase it?
Thanks for this great video! Harry's playing was so enjoyable to listen to! Just wondering, which ones did Harry like the best?

What about the KORG B2?
Yamaha P-45 and Roland fp-30x sound best to me. Both have deep and nice sound. But Roland fp-30x is better some way?
Why did the first playing of the Casio cdp s100 sound great, but the second recording of it sounded bad. Also why where there 2 recordings of it lol
Excellent video! But why no Donner DEP-20? I think it's a great entry level for beginners as well. Sure, it's a new brand. But it is catching waves. It certainly can stand toe to toe with the Alesis Prestige.

P45 is definitely old and outdated at this point. Still good for beginners. FP30X hands down my fav.
The roland fp30x sounds like you're in a piano competition sitting in the second row
Can we please have the names of the songs and of the pianist?
ES110?
The casio isn't right in the mid range, the eq needs to be levelled out rather than a v setting, can this be achieved with external line out speakers?
What you did with that fp10...the meaning of the song "I hate you then I love you" has never really had any meaning until those moments...

Holy shit it’s Beethoven

Hi ! Someone knows the song at 0:46 ?

Should have played the same thing across the board. There are different dynamics in the different play styles. It's not an accurate comparison.
Just buy the one that gives you the best deal!

Minha nossa, como o Alesis é ruim!
Bem pior que o de entrada da Casio, o cdp s100

The casios sound the best. The Roland is muffled and dampened by something. The Alesis is laughably bad.
lol honestly speaking here, Alesis actually sounds good, not as you think it is. I can say the same to Roland.
