Wow I was just trying to decide between the two and you posted this!
Thanks Chuck for your great reviews and clearing some things up for me on Casio comparisons. You helped me make up my mind on which Casio I wanted.
Great to hear!
Thanks helped me to decide on which piano to buy
Nice to have a review based on differences. Thanks
Thanks chuck, this video is everything I needed!
I like your review! Purchased the 3000 two days ago. Love it!
Ordered mine yesterday. I’m so excited.
@@DonVal86 is the casio's key action good? Have you got any problem with the key weight different between black and white?
I've just bought the 3100.
Muito esclarecedor. Obrigado!
Ordered a pxs3000 for my church... Barely any videos on it but the ones out all said it was crazy good, been waiting for your video on this
Hi Stephen i'm also looking to by s3000 for church(small 50people capacity),what are your experiance so far?
@@hrvojesoric2270 you definitely need a companion app if you are looking to layer or switch to other tones... I like the sensitivity changes to the keys, the sounds are very nice, the only thing I don't like is the noise of the "realistic foot pedal" but you can turn that off in the settings... I don't really look to customizing sounds like other people that prefer thier own specific voicings ... But the customization you can do with the knobs on the electric piano are pretty nice to change on the fly and play around with
@@stephenrodriguez5203 thx
Very informal and great video, thanks :D
that's great thank you man
and to add, the 1000 doesn't have dynamic EQ. the 3000 does.
Good review, as always. Would be interesting if you would do a comparison video between the S3000 and the PX-560M.
px-3000 looks more like px-360 than to px-560
PX-560 is still Casio's flagship slab piano. Apples and Oranges to compare it with a PX-S3000.
Hello, I am Korean and I am writing because I cannot understand what is in the video.
I just want to ask you a few questions. Can you answer them?
1. According to another px-s1000 reviewer, the length of the keyboard is about 2mm shorter than the analog piano, so it's a little annoying when he plays. Is there such a thing in the video?
2. I wonder if the keyboard sizes of px-s1000 and 3000 are the same.
3. When video reviewer Chuck plays the piano, I wonder if you feel uncomfortable or awkward with your hands because this product and analog piano have different keyboard sizes.
(I know that this Cassio series is a very compact model. Especially 1000.)
4. Is there a difference in piano sound between the two products in the video? (normal and mellow piano sound )
Thank you . .!
Somewhere I heard that you can change registrations using the pedal which is really awesome
Correct! You can designate the damper and expression pedal jacks to move forward or backward through the registrations. Instructions are on page 42 of the manual. support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/008/PXS3000_usersguide_A_EN.pdf
I forgot to say you my first piano is Casio CDP-220R for now its a big difference whit Casio Celviano ap-650.
Nice review! As a pianist, how would you compare feel of the action on these Studiologic SL88 Wood?
How do the piano sounds in these stack up against the Yamaha montage/modx?
Nice review! Does the S1000 output midi from the pedals? Also, will the audio input / line in send to bluetooth audio so you can play along to inputed audio?
Will the pxs3000 work with a DAW like Abelton Live? Ty for the review.
Cool .. seems like good value .. you should have played some of the other acoustic sounds on the 3000 for us to hear. Also the menu system on the 3000 is context sensitive which is a cool feature that I saw one Roland rep demonstrating on youtube. So you just press the flat panel where it is lighted right? No buttons at all is what I understood. That is major cool. Cheers.
thank you ! I have a question: with both models, is there a way to use the midi port to turn them into controllers?
I have a prophet 8 console that I would like to be able to talk to this keyboard as a controller so I can use the patches on the module and hear them as I stroke keys on the Casio. Thank you!
Thanks for making these videos, so appreciated. I wish you hated these pianos, then I could scratch them off my long list of possible next pianos.
I looked at the specs on your website but didn't see something the Yamaha's have, now - MIDI and Digital Audio over one USB. I found this would be really helpful to eliminate an audio interface - does the PX-S3000 have this?
No Midi over Bluetooth.
No audio over USB.
The PX-S 3000 has usb midi, line in, line out or Bluetooth for audio, so that you can connect your phone to play songs through the piano.
It also has an option to cancel out the mid ranger (voice of the singer) and you can adjust input volume in the settings.
Hi Chuck! Quick question: what features that were on px160 isn't on pxs1000? Tks! Great videos!
Hey Chuck you evil bastard. You almost tricked me into getting the Kawai VPC with it's promises of a grand piano feel. Instead you inspired me to buy a Yamaha U3 made of actual wood, with non digital strings inside of it vibrating with analog goodness. :) In all seriousness though your videos are great and my continued music education as an adult is in part because of you. Thank you. I'd write more but I need to go play some Vince Guaraldi ;)
LOL!! You made a good choice. Ah, but those bills for getting it tuned every 6 months :(
Thanks for your comment :)
do u had issus with polifony?
l Manchuck l have two question for you I buy a Casio Celviano ap-650 l paye 950.00 Canandien dollars new in the box what do you thing about this piano and second what is the best heaphone for my piano l play just in the studio sorry for my English langage l'am a french Canadien.
great video man.. can you please tell me who is the direct competitor to the casio px-s3000?
Can you confirm the issue with black keys requiring twice less effort to press than white keys (on both models)?
The 'issue' only exists with James Shawcross. When the unit is turned on and running, the firmware's "Smart, scaled hammer action" makes up for any weight differences while you play. There's only a 'problem' when the unit is turned off and trying to compare apples with oranges (acoustic pianos with keysticks multiple times the length of a digital piano's keys) with weights.
I am Vietnamese 🇻🇳, so my eng is not good, Is the sound quality of pxs 3000 is same pxs 1000 or better than pxs 1000?(Grand piano sound)
Kind of a drag that you need the proprietary triple pedal unit if you want to do half damper.
Actually you can use an expression pedal (in the expression pedal jack) and set the pedal function to sustain. That makes it work like a half damper pedal but kind of takes some getting used to using an expression pedal as a sustain pedal.
@@PianoManChuck Couldn't you just connect a half-pedal capable sustain pedal (like a Yamaha FC3A) to the expression pedal jack?
@@rodtompkins I tried that with a Korg half damper pedal - no go.
@@PianoManChuck Wonder if the Yamaha would work. It's nothing more than an Expression (continuous control) pedal in a sustain pedal body. I have actually used it as an expression pedal on a synth. Of course, it always snaps back when you let off, so not good for typical expression pedal applications.
@@rodtompkins I'm using a ProLine expression pedal - works great and its only $29.95
Hi I am looking at the PX-3000 but another review said that the black keys are too light and that no one at any level should buy that piano. I like the sounds, looks and a lot of reviews say that it is a great piano can anyone help I am a beginner I can play a bit but defiantly a beginner, thanks.
This is something that James Shawcross started with the black keys to get his viewer count up. Originally he praised the keys as he played difficult classical passages on it... then took a 180 on it figuring he'd get more viewers. He deletes any comments on his videos that don't agree with what he says. In reality, you cannot compare keys on a keyboard with that of an acoustic piano in that they're not wood, they're not over a foot in length, etc... unless you play a Kawai digital piano which is around $3k. Rest assured the PX-S1000 / 3000 is an awesome piano that anyone who's tried falls in love with. The keyboard player for the rock band Kansas uses this, as does many other popular pianists / keyboardists.
@@PianoManChuck Thank you so much for replying I thought the same as a lot of good piano players have liked it. Hope you are well I will defiantly be looking at getting the 3000 now, thanks again.
anyone know if these would be compatible with a px-160 home style stand? The px-160 has a couple butterfly screws on the bottom that bolt into the wooden home stand.
These are shorter and pprobably won't be compatible
You need the new CS68 stand for these.
How does Casio Privia PX-S3000 compare to Casio CDP S350?
I actually did that comparison a while back: th-cam.com/video/3x_9H9hVu60/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Chuck! Just what I needed ( and what my wallet didn’t ) 😉
Can you turn off or disable the speakers without lowering the volume on the outputs to either an amp or a recording console?
Yes, by inserting a 1/8" plug into one of the headphone jacks.
@@PianoManChuck This cheat is a real head slapper - almost too easy considering what it costs for any other gismo interface thingy.
I like pianoman Chuck for the fact that all his reviews are unbiased and rid of bullshit! since he doesn't get paid, then no smothering and he doesn't leave any details out. Love ya Man!!
he is selling pxs1000 , he doing business for this keyboard :)
Roland KC 110.battery amp!
Thank Chuck .I have one weird question .Should we remove 6 AA batery in piano before plugin the adapter? Is it blow up if keep batery inside when plugin the adapter.
Thank you
It's perfectly safe to install the batteries and AC adapter at the same time. I have a PX-S3000 and do it all the time.
@@rodtompkinsmusic thank you alot
It will explode. 😄
Hello, I've been wanting to buy this digital piano and to learn how to play since I'm a beginner. I have a question, can i use a third party sustain pedal on it without having to buy the 3-pedal half-damper model? The 3-pedal one costs around 300 dollars here where I live.
Casio's SP34 (3-pedal) for these units are proprietary, so no - you cannot use a 3rd party 3-pedal unit. It sells for $99.99 everywhere - you don't need to buy it "where you live" since you can mail order it from just about anywhere. If you want just a single pedal to do sustain with, it comes with a cheap one... otherwise you can buy a universal sustain pedal from just about anywhere.
@@PianoManChuck I think I wrote that wrong, I thought it only had one sustain pedal plug, the 3-pedal one. I wanted to ask if I could buy a universal sustain pedal (1-pedal) and still use it. Thanks for answearing my question after such a long time after you published this video, I think i'll buy this product.
I can't mail it to my country because it'll probably take around 3 months to be delivered and it'll probably be taxed, the price would almost be the same as buying it here since our import taxes are high!
To sum up, if you buy 3000 model, you actually pay for more sounds and arpeggiator
Thank you, Bob Ross of pianos!
The 3000 seems to almost have it all. Battery, Light weight, 88 weighted keys, 700 tones, record ability, layer, but no sequencing and no screen. Casio Primo 560 has screen & 17 recorder but no battery. There is always something...
The 3000 most definitely has a screen!
Is kawai vpc action better or not ?
Whether it's better or not is slightly subjective. The VPC1 by Kawai has wooden keys, weighted and it's probably the closest keybed to an acoustic piano. The pivot points are quite large so you can play from any point in the key without much effort. However the keys are heavy and they tire your hands way faster and it doesn't have speakers or any settings/sounds. It's just a keybed you connect to a computer.
The px-sXXXX series have lighter keys but still weighted, ivory touch imitation (which gives a nice grip), speakers, 700 sounds (with very good quality), it's very light(25 lbs approx) however the key pivot point is slightly short, which means the keys get heavier as you get closer to the board. That's sucks a little bit for repertoire like Moonlight Sonata mov.3 in which a lot of arpeggios are done very close to the board, but it's a small sacrifice for the quality of instrument you get for such a low price.
The purpose of each keyboard is very different, if you want something like the VPC1 but with build-in speakers and sound, more built for home/recreational purposes, I would suggest the Kawai KDP-110. If you want an instrument which you'll use for gigging and for producing music, then the Px-s3000 would be a better choice.
Yes, the vpc action is better.
I ended up purchasing the s3000 mostly for rehearsals. Of course a light weight instrument and graded hammer action are big factors for for me.
The grand piano is OK but IMO yamaha samples of Pianos, EPs and Organs are necessary for a realistic performance of covers.
Still though with the onboard sound and so many presets it's a good instrument for songwriting and more intimate venues.
Hi Chuck do you think the PX3000 is better than the PX5s? And is Casio likely to replace the PX5s this year with PX3000 technology?
Of course the PX-3000 isn't better than the PX-5. But it may be better for your needs. Without stating what you want or need, does it matter which is better? What is better and what is best for you are two different things. The function set of the PX-5 far exceeds the PX-3000. It isn't even close. The PX-5 has 4 appegiators, The PX-5 has deeper DSP. The PX-5 has a synthesizer. The PX-5 has more customization. One isn't a replacement for the other. Is an F-150 pickup truck better than a mustang? It depends on whether you want a truck or a performance vehicle.
Chuck has no access to what is going to be replaced when. Those who know, won't tell. Those who would tell, don't know. Anything he could say is just as speculative as what you or I would say.
Matthew Gaines why ‘of course it’s not better’? How would someone who has never tried the PX3000 know this? I used to work for Casio and their product launches would often be random and invariably they would release a new lower priced keyboard that would have a much better sound than the previous high end model. I suspect this has happened with the PX3000 and the PX5S. With regard to the question about a PX5S replacement I was simply asking Chuck’s opinion.
Don't mean to be negative, but ya spend considerable money and then have to follow a road map of sorts whenever you need to change something like velocity. This on top of learning new piano playing skills! Thing that gets me even more is hearing that although you can record with the PX-S1000, the files are not accessible externally, via USB or SD Card for example. it is one thing when a manufacturer has a better keybed for a higher price, but to limit features on one model seems to be punishing the customer one way or another, sort of the opposite of a win-win. Almost an extortion tactic of sorts. lol
As a reseller I think you'll find this interesting: I get many inquiries from people who just want a keyboard for playing piano only! They don't want to spend an extra dime on things like being able to record or pitch bend or having hundreds of worthless sounds - all they want is piano with an excellent key action and great sound - nothing else! They feel taken advantage of by manufacturers because they don't want to pay more for "features" that they'll never use and never wanted to begin with.
@@PianoManChuck So the flip side I suppose is that Casio is providing us with options. Thanks man, just goes to show there's usually another perspective.
Nice review.
What do you think between a new px-s3000 VS a used PX-870 (or PX-770)?
Play only piano sound, and want the best keyboard action and best piano sound, and also records midi songs. (Or Roland FP30 or Kawai es110)
Thanks,
Bertrand
pxs 1000 doesnt give you many sounds the caisio cdp s 350 for the same price gives you 700 sounds more bang for the buck.The touch is phenominal if you like a piano feel. from music teacher.
PX-S1000 has superior piano and 'smart scaled' hammer action (even better than the action on the CDP series). The PX-S3000 is the best choice for 700 sounds.
Also cdp does not have harmonic ressonance, does it? At least it does not sound like it.....
learning how to play 88 keys.....but synthesizers are cool. can this do things that synthesizer does? what would be a good choice?
The PSX1000 has only piano and some other basic sounds like organ, strings etc. The PSX3000 has over 700 sounds and a pitch bend wheel. So they 3000 has more synth functionality
Neither of these keyboards are synthesizers. The PX-560 has a synthesizer if that is what you need.
Chiming in a bit late, but the price difference between the 1000 and 3000 in Europe is a lot bigger. The PX-S1000 costs 545 euro (roughly 600 dollar US), the PX-S3000 is 899 euro (roughly 990 dollar US)... That's a difference of almost 400 US dollar. I'm guessing the PX-S1000 might be more popular over here, even though it hasn't got a display and you're more or less flying blind when selecting sounds or effects (which is better on the cheaper CDP-S100 because it's marked on the 'fallboard'...). I'm looking for a portable back-up to my MP11SE to play at my girlfriend's appartment and to do some small, intimate gigs from time to time, and I'm considering the Kawai ES110, PX-S1000 (and also the CDP-S100) and the Korg D1. Been trying out every model in a store, and although I like the Casio action a lot, the more I play the PX-S1000, the less I like it ; somehow the shiny casing and the touch controls don't agree with me. The CDP-S100 is dirt cheap but also rather limited. So I guess it's between the ES110 and the D1 (plus a pair of Roland CM30's or a KC220 I think, good for both home and gigging use) In any case, love the channel, keep up the good work !
Sacré Charlemagne...😂😂😂
Great video! How does the 3000’s acoustic piano sound compared to the older px-330?
