Before I retired, I was a Casio musical instrument authorized servicer. While I never cared for the sample quality, I do have to say they are one of the most reliable digital piano brands made. Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Kurzweil, and Kawai were my main income producers because their actions all had major failures. Some were key failures, some were hammer cushion failures, some were keyswitch failures. But Casio's rarely came in for problems.
Thanks for that, very cool unique perspective. Hadn’t had an issue with mine so far, so hopefully the trend carries on!
Not currently in the market but I love to watch these reviews.
I currently use a Yamaha DGX 670 which I will grow into. I mostly just use it as a piano but today while practicing Chim Chim Cher-e from the Piano Adventures book, I accidentally mashed some buttons and had the most wonderful sound.
thank you for all you do Noah, the pop piano sound is meant for recording cutting thru a mix or playing in a band I think, thank you again
Love mine. Traded up from a PXS3100 and well worth it.
Amazing! Glad you dig it, been loving mine too
Yeah. I bought a pxs 3.000 , and sound and touch Very Very well my Roland hp404 sound not so good now😊 but I miss aftertouch and Leslie efects....😰
Thanks for doing this, Noah! I used to have a Casio Privia somewhere around 2010-2015. I don’t remember which model. My main objective is a good authentic piano sound but harpsichord, electric or church organ sounds would be great too. Weighting is important as I found it hard to adjust to conventional pianos because the touch on my Casio was so light. When I moved to a different coast I had to sell it and in my new location in 2015 I bought a second hand Technics SX-PR902 which has a weighting similar to conventional pianos but way more bells and whistles than I want. I find the buttons too close to the keys so it is very easy to change the mode unintentionally when fingers are flying. It’s also completely non-portable as I live in a 3rd story apartment. It’s about to die as when I turn it on it often goes into drum sound and I might have to start it many times to get the default piano sound, so I am definitely looking for a replacement. Both Privia models would be in my price range as I paid $2000 for the Technics 9 years ago. I’d like to be able to record easily from the keyboard either to internal memory or to a computer. I was able to do this on my Privia but not so easily on the technics (it has a floppy disk drive!)
To my understanding, these new Privias are really a huge step up (though I've never tried the older models). I really loved the 7000's built-in grand piano sounds especially. Would def recommend trying them out again to see if they'd be a good fit!
One really nice thing about the Casio is how slim it is, at only a hair over 4 inches. I have mine (also a 6000) in a semi-custom studio desk, on a sliding tray. Because of how much thinner it is, than, say, a Roland, I can have that tray setup quite a bit higher, and thus get both more legroom and a nice ergonomic keybed height. Sounds like my use case is pretty similar to yours, and I also prefer the lighter action, especially when doing extended note input sessions. Also nice for playing organs and synths - not authentic certainly, but better than a heavy concert grand action for that stuff.
That said I don't actually use the onboard sound at all... just straight MIDI out to Pianoteq (or Mainstage) on my Mac. Then a webcam on the monitor to easily record my practice sessions, with a camera angle a lot like this vid actually (many samples on my channel)
I went to my local dealer for a set of 88 digital keys. I told the dealer about my piano-background and he guided me to the Yamaha P-515. Then let me try all other digital keyboards, meanwhile packing the Yamaha P-515. He was sure and after more than a year of playing on it I am 100% convinced the P-515 is amazing. Not only perfect keys and key-action, beautiful sounds ... but its bluetooth is amazing. I can use all the Korg Gadget and Korg Module sounds over bluetooth playing the Yamaha keys. I can even listen to my iPad through the P-515 speakers. One word: amazing!
So glad you found an instrument that works well for you, and thank you for sharing your experience and insights!
I love my p-515 too. What’s your amp setup for gigs?
@@ChadLieberman1 I don’t do gigs. Occasionally I connect two active speakers to my p-515 when I make music with a friend of mine in the livingroom.

I own the Yamaha P515 too! Also have a Kawai Es 920. Both great for different reasons.
Havent tried the Bluetooth... yet.
I've had mine for about a year or so. My biggest concern with any new keyboard purchase is the keybed/keyaction/touch. To me the action on this Casio is somewhere in the middle - not too heavy and not too light. I, too, use keyscape, so I'm not too bummed out about the on board sounds. That said, there are some nice patches that are fairy decent and usable in a pinch at group rehearsal or personal practice. One thing I really like is the interface that accepts external sounds - you can, for example, pipe in audio from your smart phone or ipad (wirelessly) - great for practice or learning new tunes by ear without disturbing anyone else in your living space. It's not the heaviest keyboard, but I, too, use it as a stay-at-home/studio keyboard. I'm still looking for something light and more portable for gigging that has an excellent keybed action. Right now, it seems Kawai keybeds have the best action - I just wish someone would put it in a 73 key format, which would be more conducive to portability for gigs. For the most part, I love this keyboard.
Thank you for sharing this! I think folks will find your comment really helpful. Yeah it’s always a difficult conundrum when it comes to gigging keyboards. Portability vs. keyboard and features. Let me know what you end up deciding on, would be curious to hear.
I love my Kawai!

How would describe the touch and action?
The keybed on the Yamaha P515 is very heavy. Even on the lightest setting, Soft 1 it can be painful.😢
Sir is it portable ¿ and can we use it MIDI controller ¿
I also have some problems with longer practice sessions. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a keyboard with light keybed action or resources that would help me find one. Thanks!
Hey there- are you looking for weighted? If you are going with a weighted option, this is one of the lighter keyboards that I have personally played. Very comfortable breezy action.
Comes with touch response set to normal. You can change it to light 1 or light 2 for longer sessions. I do.
If I had that amount of money to spend l would go for the studiologic numa x GT
I like your overview and video on this keyboard, but what surprises me is you stating this keyboard is NOT a keyboard for gigging enthusiasts. I don't understand why you would say that when this keyboard includes everything a person gigging would want since it is loaded with presets and every single one of them can be completely modified with the extreme array of DSP effects available to the user alongside the 2 dials which allows for you to modify the parameters live during performance without any issues.
What’s your amp setup when using this on gigs? That’s always the bottleneck in my experience.
I found the key to be running through a D.I. You ever tried that?
What DAW would you recommend using with a M-audio 88 semi- weighted digital piano to get that acoustic sound?
I guess the DAW is only a matter of personal preference, in the end it's the plugins you will use that will make the sound. Ableton Live is a very good option but there are other serious contenders.
@@florentmartiniere 100%! It's less about the DAW, and more about the plugin- my current favorites being Keyscape, Pianoteq, and Addictive Keys.
@@NoahKellman Keyscape is really impressive ... and I'm a guitarist lol. I love looking at the sessions they do with famous players (Cory
@@NoahKellman btw discovered your work through the bad snacks video, I really dig how you play and talk music. Keep it on!
I would try Ableton, even there free lite version has a great piano sounds plus bags full of FX and it comes with m-audio gear.
Does it feel stable with that stand?
It does to me!
The 7000 includes the stand and triple pedal for 2,499; the 6000 $1,700 is they keyboard only the stand is $449 plus more for the pedal - if getting the stand the 7000 is better value
Thanks for the info, I didn't calculate out the cost of the stand / pedal, good thinking.
