This is such a smart comparison for customers who are conscious about the money they're paying for the instrument. At first, I was confused as to why this comparison exists as these two are very different and for different people. But now I see why.
Very nice job on this comparison. The piano sound on the Casio is negligibly better. But every other sound will sound better on the DGX. I agree that the 770 is likely better for the piano purist, while the 660 is for those who imagine that they'll to do other stuff with its extra features, whether they'll actually ever get around to doing so or not.
Good job on the review. Maybe play a bit more on future reviews. You play well. This review was a pretty thorough comparison, I think. The Yamaha DGX-660 will be best for what I want to do, which is mostly get my ideas recorded in the default grand piano tone and saved to .wav files. When I get enough different stuff, then I either make them into more complete, sort of semi-improvised piano pieces, or add various different instruments (including percussion sometimes) to make up to 6 tracks per song. So far, I've compared the DGX-660 with a couple of other Yamahas and a couple of Casios, and a Korg, and the DGX-660 is still my choice. The recording capability of the DGX-660, especially the capability to record sequencer recordings (tracks and/or songs) directly to a USB stick as .wav files is very handy for me since I want to work with the sound (rather than midi stuff). It's surprising how many otherwise really great keyboards don't have the ability to record .wav files directly to either a USB stick or SD card. Currently, I have a Yamaha PSR EW400 and a Casio WK7600. I like them both, maybe the WK7600 a bit more because of it's editing capabilities, even though the Yamaha has a slightly better feel and tone for the default grand piano than the Casio, IMHO. Anyway, thanks for the review/comparison! You get another thumbs up and subscribed!
I had the same sticky problem with my Yamaha DGX and AKAI MPK88 keyboard controller. I never have the issue with my Roland Fantom G8 that has some texture like, but I already sold it 5 years ago. This gave me frustration until one day a Piano teacher told to easy on my finger (I always had heavy finger), especially my ring and pinky finger so sticky. And both of my middle fingers always hurting if I play too long more than 1 hour. It really really bad experience. You can see in my channel that technique was bad, because I never take any classical course, just self learning. It's been 2 year practice and the past 1 month that I can feel so much improvement and happy to play again on my Yamaha DGX and AKAI MPK88 without any stick finger. Both keyboard are great, and I recommend for everyone to get one 🙏🏼
@@nikosurfingYT Thanks for checking out 😅 and give nice comment. I can only play slow song due to weak fingers as you can see in my videos. My 2 weakest left fingers is getting stronger and I soon will make lot of videos this November.
Please make a video comparing Privia PX770 with Roland RP102, too please. Very confused about the importance of lesson functions in each as a beginner. Are they an important factor in selecting your first piano or do they not help much realistically?
How do you feel about the DGX-660 vs the PX-870? My daughters are singers so I'm kind of leaning towards the DGX. I probably won't take it anywhere so portability isn't a concern. Other than microphone feature I don't think I would use a lot of the other features. We would mostly be using the basic piano tone. I do like the more compact size of the Casio and the way you described the feel of the keys.
Hi Stu👋 Again, a very interesting video! I think your comparisons are the most honest and most meaningful on TH-cam! Thank you for your professional and honest work! The sound of a digital piano is just like you say, taste. Personally, I am very much concerned about a piano sound as realistic as possible. There's only Kawai for me! 👍😎😂
I go by thinking how it sounds if I was in a first class restaurant with a good pianist. Actually both are very good from that point of view. The choice of electronic pianos seems greater on the Yamaha. It was actually pleasant. Generally EP's don't work too well in a high class environment, but I think the Yamaha is rather palatable.
@@Cyb3rAssassine Top line restaurants that are capable of hiring a pianist. Or a private high society gig that might take place at a country club. Coat and tie places.
CASIO hands down. Pardon the pun. I don't like spending time trying to find the right buttons to push. Apparently Casio makes changing the type of sound much easier.
Thank you for creating these videos! In the same price range of around $800 what would you recommend for a smaller 76/73 key digital piano? My main priority is the overall quality, sensitivity feel and on board speakers any recommendations are highly appreciated!
Does anybody know a good alternative to the Yamaha DGX series? Because from what I can tell the DGX series has over 600 different instruments and other portable digital pianos don't offer anywhere near the level of voices? The only thing I can imagine comes close is the Casio PX560 which is no discontinued. I'm looking for something like the Yamaha DGX 660/670 but perhaps with better speakers and a better keyboard in terms of the touch. Can somebody help?
I was deciding between the DGX660 and PX560M, but when you pay a closer look the former is closer to a toy, the Casio is much more professional. Just take a look at the outputs on the back, for example. The Privia is by far the best bang for the back you can get at that price point. If you want features like the Casio but better, you will need to spend at least twice the money.
sir, if roland fp-10(with stand and no triple pedal) and the px-770 are at same price in my country which one will be a good option for home piano playing and MIDI music production....? is pha-4 slightly or significantly better than 770bk..? Which one do you recommend.? Thanks.
You mention in alot of your videos about getting better midi accuracy when a digital piano has a triple sensor keybed. My question is if I use this Casio model for midi purpose only, will I get the same level of proper midi output as I would get using high end models like the kawaiVPC1, Roland RD2000? Is having a triple sensor the only requirement for proper midi output or are there other factors to look at ? Please advice
Some Pianos have better velocity curve controls. My Roland FP-90 has the same keyboard as the RD-2000 and it allows you to adjust on a scale of 1-100. Most cheaper Pianos give you a few setups like light, medium, heavy. And a better keyboard will improve your control, which may help your expressiveness.
@@BUJU2007 I might be wrong but what you mentioned, isn't that achievable with a velocity curve from any piano vsts itself ? If yes then apart from a great feel keybed, what's the point of using a high end model when the same result could be achieved with an entry level that has a triple sensor ?
I am a professional pianist and CASIO is the best not only in sound but also in touch (the internal recording is very different from external speakers.)

I have the Casio PX 770, I've had it for about 7 months or so and I am very satisfied with its performance so far.
That is awesome to hear! We're glad to hear that you are enjoying your PX770. :)

This is a fantastic comparison, thankyou for taking the time to make it for us all. Keep up the amazing work guys

I will need to watch these videos again when I decide to buy a second piano 🎹 Thanks for the video, Stu. Have a great weekend.

Casio for the win, for me
Now, to decide between the px 770 and ap 270..........
Any guidance on this?
Casio plastic Sound 😜
Always trust comp.
Yamaha kawai Roland
Thanks for the review, how would you compare the Casio PX 770 against FP-30?
I ask because they cost more or less the same in UK
No big difference never compare Casio to Yamaha or Roland.
How do you feel about the DGX-660 vs the PX-870? My daughters are singers so I'm kind of leaning towards the DGX. I probably won't take it anywhere so portability isn't a concern.

You’re a very good father for researching what you should get for your kids, instead of just getting the first thing you see.
Beautiful playing.
Hello...do you have a review comparison between the Yamaha DGX670 vs Casio PX780?
I'm surprised I can't see a review of DGX 670 in your channel. Good channel though!
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! The DGX670 is on our list of pianos to tackle in review/comparison videos. Hopefully, we can get to that soon! :)

Dgx-660 has a competitor in Casio's Px-s3000 and the little brother Cdp-s350.
CASIO hands down. Pardon the pun. I don't like spending time trying to find the right buttons to push. Apparently Casio makes changing the type of sound much easier.
Is the casio px700 any good?
This Casio px770 vs Roland fp30 wich is better sound quality for classical piano ?

Question, that seat you are using looks quite comfy for playing pianos, where is it from?
The peddle board for the Yamaha DGX 660 is $54 on amazon!
13:00 this is an absolute bop, what’s the name of this?
i think the DGX is a perfect machine for producing music
It is certainly a very comprehensive piano when it comes to its feature offering. :)
I would very much appreciate a review/overview video of the Casio Privia PX-560M if that is possible :) Keep up the good work Stu!

It's not a fair play comparaison at all.
You should compare with the casio wk 7600
Thank you kindly for the suggestion! Perhaps, we will tackle a comparison featuring one of the Casio WK models in the future. :)
That could be a very intersting comparison, flagship against flagship, i can't wait to see it 🙏👍😉

Hi! Brent here! Thank you kindly for the suggestions! We will do our best to tackle those comparisons in the near future. :)
Sorry, sir Yamaha sounds so much clearer and clean. beautiful. Casio sounds dull...like a dull old lead pencil.
I do prefer the Yamaha too.
The piano sounds much nicer to me on the Casio
The Casio has a really stunning sound! :)
Casio is much better.
Yamaha sounds better
Yamaha quality sound better
I do not know why he cannot hear that. That Casio sounds cheap.
Yes it does!
CASIO WIN
@@AS01SDN
Casio like a toy compare to yamaha 🤣
Both sound good, but you hear more speaker crackle on the Yamaha. The E Piano sound was better on the Yamaha though.
Thanks
Anybody else think that guy looks like Dewey?
Canadian
Thanks for watching! :)
ganó casio
Dgx DOES COME WITH TRIPLE PEDALS.
Yes mine did come with a triple pedal unit stand
@@razjoee so did mine.
You can have an external triple pedal
Yamaha have better sound
Casio sounds plastic
Casio sounds like it is dying in a closed box. Hate the sound.
Cassandra Diamond Lavender so true
I am a professional pianist and CASIO is the best not only in sound but also in touch (the internal recording is very different from external speakers.)
