Another excellent review, of a fantastic piano. I absolutely love my Privia PX-S7000 and your review really helped me to make an informed choice. Keep up the great work Piano Man Chuck. We appreciate you! :)
I was having trouble figuring out some of the functions and thanks to your detailed video, I've got them, now!
Didn't know your channel, instant sub. This is the best review i could find for the casio. Awesome job, man❤
Great review! Thank u!
Thanks for the review, the latest Privia models are amazing additions!
They really are amazing! Thanks for watching!!
Best review of this keyboard yet, by far!!!! 🌟
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Very nice review, thinkIm going to get this in the yellow 🙂
Thanks Chuck. As an acoustic and digital pianist for decades (longtime on a Kawai KG2C acoustic, Yamaha P80 then Kawai ES8, with an SV-1 and S90ES along the way) the single most defining test for me every time I encounter a new digital piano is the single note decay. Most piano music isn't about holding a note until it fully decays, but for total expression, if the decay is too fast or loopy, it's a no go for me (no idea how this Casio performs in that regard). Just dropping this comment here as you do great reviews and thought I would pass along a "test" I always appreciate hearing - full decay to silence. Thank you for your informative reviews and positive spirit.
Thanks for your comment Patrick! I just tried your suggestion with middle C on the Hamburg sample: about 14 seconds.
Great review Chuck, I hope all is well. Like you elegantly stated, it is hard to comprehend a "high end" Casio. But it looks and sounds great! And with all of the bells and whistles maybe it play itself :) Thanks again.
Well said! I've used the term "plays itself" in the past to describe playing a piano where you're not finding yourself 'fighting with the keys' to get the results you want. I find I'm not 'fighting the keys' on this board, so I'm impressed! Stay well Tim!
What a vid! A stroll down memory lane-:) Starts at about 5:00 with my favorite "Forgotten" and I agree the Homberg sound is beautiful! A fond memory was "King of The Road" which I saw coming almost immediately when you started. I was a teenager (little Italy Bronx NY) sitting in the most famous Pizzeria in NYC when that song came on. I fell in love with that song immediately. So much so that I even remember what I was eating when I first heard it!( I actually have a picture with Dion standing in front of it way back then) and I hung out with his whole family. To make a long story short I was with his cousin when the news of the plane crash that killed Holly, Bopper and Valens came over 55 AM radio and she said "Oh my God, Dion is on that plane", True story, he didn't have the $37 to get on the plane(you can see him talk about it on CZcams), but he doesn't tell you the reason he didn't have the $37 ( But I know) . She ran home but Dion already called his mom and dad to tell them he was safe (but freezing in Iowa).
I recognize 30:00 but don't remember the name of that tune, following sounded like Mr. Tambourine man? Of course the Wagner tune from Lohengrin which we all know as "Here Comes The Bride" ( a favorite of divorce lawyers)-:)
Procol Harum intro to WSOP. I think they had a Farfisa or Hammond organ for that one. Actually the intro done in Sarah Brightman's version is awesome but that's where it ends with her version. No doubt that A.L. Weber had something to do with that intro.
So much more in that vid I could mention BUT I don't want to take up the whole page ( and I'm probably boring people to death) 🙂
This is by far your best Vid although the one with all the variations of "Forgotten" is very close.
2 paws up! Thanks so much Chuck!
Stay well my friend!
Thanks for the awesome stories CJ! The song at 30:00 is "Classical Gas", an instrumental that was very popular at the time (harder for instrumentals to make it on the charts, but this one did). Occasionally a great instrumental comes out every now and then that just excels (Frankenstein by Edgar Winter would be an example). Actually met Edgar on a plane flight once, surprised to see he was sitting in coach.
@@PianoManChuck Oh yea. That’s it !!
I almost had it. This old age stuff😐!!
Some of them do take coach. I remember Johnny Carson ( I think it was) did coach frequently.
I really enjoyed that vid. Just great
Thanks again 👍
@@PianoManChuck Classical Gas is definitely a blast from the past - presumably Mason WIlliams' only foray onto the pop charts 🙂And I loved it everytime I heard it.
I like all three patches. It would be a very refreshing change to have that Bechstein patch. It's so unlike all the patches offered elsewhere. Casio has performed a hat-trick on this piano. Yamaha and Kawai must be feeling the heat.
This is still not a fully fledged stage piano. I wonder whether Casio will build one of them?
Thanks for another great video Chuck.
Thanks for an A+ review Chuck as always. Which keyboard did you get for gigs at the end? the Casio 6000, the Numa X /GT 88 or something else entirely? The keyboard sounds not too shabby! I wonder how reliable is the touch interface though as a heavy duty keyboard.. I'd wager real buttons/switches would be be nicer to navigate and also last for many years..
good to see Chuck... a video just uploaded an hour ago!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I have been waiting for your review!!!
More to come!
@@PianoManChuck No other reviewer demonstrated that there were drum patterns to access. I know you personally don't use rhythms at gigs. I have 3 3100s and maybe there are more drum patterns to choose from. Really wanna try the action. Thank you.Hope your better half is better.
@@TheBuddyKeys Thanks Buddy!!
Love your detailed reviews!. How would you compare the action on these to the tp400w in the Numa X GT?
Love the review! I'm curious to know if it's easy to play a glissando on these keys?
I was really leaning towards the PXS1100 or 3100, but after trying them instore I wasn't entirely sold - playing a glissando was clunky, hard, and loud. I would absolutlely love to save up and get one of these in Harmonious Mustard, but not being able to easily glide around on the keys would be a dealbreaker for me.
Casio pianos are simply gorgeous.
They are!
@@PianoManChuck I bought the psx3100 after seeing your review now I want the 7000 so now I'm saving up. Thanks for your brilliant vlogs.
I’d be worried for live use on a sweaty summer night would those touch buttons work ok?
Thanks!
Thanks CJ, much appreciated!
Could i also use this as a midi controller for a DAW ?
That was a comprehensive video! How is the wooden action of Casio in comparison to the wooden action of Fatar? Both px-s6000 and Numa X GT are in my class range, but the features of Numa X are superior in my opinion.
They're close, but Casio's key action is a hybrid (wood + plastic) and the shortest pivot point to date, which can amazingly compete with wood actions such as the Numa X GT. The designs / target market of each are different... the Casio is more for the home market + gigging, whereas the Numa is more for the gigging performer.... so it depends on what your target goal is. Regardless, I urge you to try both out at your local retailer.
@@PianoManChuck thank you very much for the comprehensive answer!
Great video! I appreciate your info. I wonder how the 5000, 6000, or 7000 compare with the new Kawai es120. 🤔🙂
They cannot be compared, as they are in a different price class. The action of the Kawai is plastic and the action of the Casio is wooden (much more realistic IMO).
@@amitev They can with the understanding that they are in a different class just like other past comparisons. There are a few similarities between the two. A comparison can be made at least between the es120 and the 5000, which happens to be the bare minimum.
Good question! Not really much of a match though.... the Casio action is more comparable to that of Kawai's ES920 (much superior to the ES120).
Thanks Chuck. How did you have the piano mic’d up in this video?
No mics were used (other than for my voice). I used Casio's Line Outputs directly into my mixer/recorder's Line Inputs.
Nice review. I want to record my playing for personal critique and improvement. Can the S7000 record and playback a 10 minute, intermediate level, unlayered song, in its entirety? If so, when I want to record a second song will I need to backup (copy to flash drive) the first song to prevent it from being overwritten?
I don't use the recorder function so I couldn't answer that off the top of my head. But the user manual would have all that info at support.casio.com/en/manual/manualfile.php?cid=008021007
Does it have Hex Layers?
Rolling Stone Magazine just rated the PX-S7000 as one of their "Rolling Stone Essentials 2022: The Coolest Gear of the Year"!!

You think this competes with a CLP 735? I like that it does a lot more than just play good piano. But I’m mostly interested in simple piano, it’s just sometimes I like to be creative with other things. Does the px7000 come close to piano quality to a clavinova?
The one thing about Yamaha is that they ONLY use Yamaha piano samples in their offerings (and Bosendorfer since they also own that brand). Other brands like Casio have no such restrictions, so they're offering the Steinway D and C.Bechstein D282, both of which are considered some of the best in the world. And they've done it in such a way that the quality of their sound reproduction is something you'd expect from VST quality.
Can you please play some of the electric pianos? Those are my specialty and once again, the PX-560 did not satisfy me. If you had to choose between a Dexibell product and this S7000, which do you feel has the most realistic EP sounds? I'm especially picky about my Wurlitzer sounds, then my Fender Rhodes pianos (including Dyno-My-Piano, a killer modification done by a shop in San Francisco, CA). Thanks!
Please see czcams.com/users/PianoManChuckabout
@@PianoManChuck Sorry, I didn't know that. Do you play the EP sounds of this product in a video? Maybe you did in this video because sometimes I lose concentration and miss something. It's difficult to find Casio products where I am so I really appreciate your reviews - thank you.
Does it have better action than the PX-560? And I hope it has much better pianos than the PX-560. I was disappointed in the short sustain on the 560 pianos. For the price you quote, this new one better be way better (I got my PX-560M for just over $1k).
This is the 2nd new key action since the PX560, and a few sound engines later. Of course everything is much, much improved since then. PX560 is old now (I believe it came out in 2014).
Is it heavy?
I plan on getting the px-s7000 but I heard previous models had weighting issues with the black and white keys. Is it still the case for this piano that the black keys are much lighter than the white ones? And is the short pivot point a major problem?
The key action on these new models are completely redesigned - nothing like the older models.
The short pivot point won't be a problem for anyone except professional classical pianists - they will be able to tell the difference in pivot points. For the rest of the 97% of pianists it shouldn't be a problem.
@@PianoManChuck Thanks alot :)
Good review, I wish you would comment on your impression of the keybed mechanical noise level.
Very little mechanical noise at all!
sir is it same key action that is in casio px 870 ?
Absolutely not. This new key action is several orders of magnitude better!
13:55 oh... is it due to the paranoid copyright claim engines? I see so many play piano cover for the whole songs (such as Spirited Away's Alway with Me) and it is all fine...
Yes, I also have full videos of covers, but they're not monetized. This video is!
@@PianoManChuck oh so the rule is... if it is a piano cover, then it cannot monetize? But if it is like a classical song like the Moonlight Sonata or Chopin's Raindrop, then the copyright expired long ago and so those piano covers can monetize?
Moonlight Sonata or anything Chopin is now in the Public Domain (no copyright violations that way).
Very good review. I have a question. How’s the action response of this piano compared to the Kawai
MP11SE & VPC1. I am really impressed with this 2 action. This Casio sounds amazing specially the Hamburg piano sample but only question is the action and the built quality. MP11SE & VPC1 is built like a tank and already successful in the market. Actually I am waiting for the MP11SE but there’s no news after waiting so long. This and Numa is good substitute for me & Its actually a very over priced. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you 🙏
When you say you're "waiting for the MP11SE but there's no news..." - not sure what you're saying as the MP11SE has been available for years! As for the action of anything compared to anything else, opinions are worthless - trying them out in person is the ONLY way to get a reliable answer to that question, even if it means having to go out of your way to find one to try.
I know what they are talking about. The kawai Mp11se has been out of stock online for months, even on the kawai website. Some sites will post a delivery date but it will come and go with no keyboard. The Mp7se looks like availability may be drying up as well but still on some sites. So whats going on at the kawai factory? Supply chain? Transition to new mp line? Would love to see a comparison between Casio 6000 and studio logic numa X GT. Thanks Chuck.
Does it also run on power (not batteries)?
Can run on batteries or AC power.
You metion the prices as if they're something rare. There are tons of other equally or even much higher costing dicital pianos, up to 2-3 the same price, from Casio, Roland,Yamaha, and others. They're expensive compared to entry level digital pianos, from Yamaha CVP-809 at $14,000. CSP 295 is $9000, Kawai CA901 is $6.5K, Dexibell VIVO S10 is $5000,
Kawai MP11SE is $4200, Kurwzeil Forte 7 is $4000, and so on
