Right around 8:24 Daniel comments on having to dig in more to get a response from the keys. Not sure if this would make a difference, but something that doesn't get mentioned much is that the Privia has settings to change the weight of the keys from heavier to lighter depending on players preference. Not sure if the other keyboards have the same settings but the presets will definitely make a difference in the action from one to another.
I originally bought the P--125 for my Grandson, but he quit lessons. I use it for a 20 piece big band I play with. I love the action and the weight, I can literally carry it under one arm. One thing to note though, which most people don't think about, at higher volumes it starts to distort and get a bit shrill, and clunky/percussive sounding. I use a QSC 12.2, so top of the line amplification. I don't use a pre-amp, maybe I should, but I have to turn the speakers almost all the way up in order to keep the piano volume down as much as possible.
yamaha is easy to spot even blind folded, slippery keys, brightest piano sound always. casio is easy to spot with it super textured keys ... that leaves roland... so even blind folded you can tell 2 out of the three. .. the other would be either roland or korg.
I played all three and loved the Roland. Best feel and best response to light touches. I think it sounded the best as well although sounds were hard to chooses which was best.
I brought an FP-30 a couple of months ago. Amazing piano for the money. The individual weighted keys and the texture was one of the reasons for my decision. I would recommend the stand with it too if you have the room.
I'm not even considering buying a keyboard, but I watch all of the videos because of his playing (and Jack's craziness). What's the style of what he plays? Jazzy Gospelly Blues kindof?
FP30 has 3 great Grand Piano samples' sets with touch gradation. But I wouldn't say that Sample #1 is better than Yamaha's main sample. I personally use #2 - it is brighter and sharper in my opinion.
I get that these videos aren’t really about the pianist, but God Damnit I LOVE Bingers playing. He has a voice all his own on the piano. I’ve searched (unsuccessfully) for hours and hours trying to find other piano music that evokes the same feeling in me that his playing does. I want an hour of nothing but Bings on a piano. So good.
I've been going back-and-forth between the Yamaha and the Roland. In spite of what another critic had said, I may go with the Roland. I want to dig into learning piano, though I've had limited exposure, before.
The Yamaha sounds bright, and they always do, they're great keyboards, but I grew up playing classical on an acoustic, and there's something about the action and the sound and the dynamic live action of the Roland combined that gave it that ever-so-slight edge over the Yamaha. Can't go wrong with any of these 3 for sure, just depends on what you want and your budget.
does anybody know what song/tune/melody/sample he is playing? I love it and see some other people have commented on how beautiful what he is playing itself is but no answers yet... pleeeeeaaaaseeee
Blind test - instant like. Just few suggestion - add some after test opinions about it: final tought about what keyboard feels best, or its the same? What internal speaker sound best? You now, most people use this keyboard with interhal speakers, not external monitors. And last and not so important - what about functionality? Maybe one of this guys can something really good (like many more patches, two layers, auto-arranger etc etc) - just few words about its will be great because if its important its not hard found detail info in internet.
My same findings after visiting a local shop to decide on a piano. Casio stuff is pretty good, Yamaha is standard middle of the road and the Roland is just that 5-10% better , mainly due to the action.
I've not had the chance to try them in person but I agree with your rendition. To me though Roland wins in sounds too, especially in the piano department. It's steady from high to low and it does provide that quasi metallic taste that a few Steinways, especially the newer models have. Yamaha doesn't quite sound like a CF S III, -they sampled P 125 from it). Plus there's a certain sharpness to its tone that makes it a little bit unpleasant, for my eaars at least. Then, when you play chromatically in the low end you can really hear its inability to sound like the real thing. I do know that there are few digital pianos that replicate an acoustic well even in the high end (god bless Nord), but overall in this price range Roland does slightly better. All the best! .
I have tried all these pianos myself, and my opinion is that Roland FP30 has the best feel. I found out it is because the FP30 has key escapement, which is a feature you will only find in pianos above $1000. Also, the damper pedal is multi levels, and the piano modeling they use combined with the sampling simulates some kind of sympathetic resonance, it is really good for the money.
The escapement feature is a bit of a gimmick. And the keys of the FP30 are heavier than most acoustic grands so they might tire your fingers out. Initially i thought heavier is better but after owning a high end Yamaha Clavinova for 5 years and trying out the Roland, I realised it's not the case. I swapped it out for a cheaper P125 and now am much happier with the action. The one and only shortcoming is I can't play more than two repeated notes in quick succession since it has only two sensors so I can't play some Scarlatti and Rachmaninoff pieces authentically. Maybe the new casio px s1100 can do it but I haven't tried it yet. Agreed with the other two points though. Yamaha do sell an FC3A pedal separately that supports half pedal making it much more expensive.
@@kisha_musicsince you are an expert could you help me chose my first keyboard? I have to chose between 1) Casio px-160 2) yamaha p-45 3) yamaha p-125 4) Kawai es 120 5) Roland fp 10 6) Korg b2
@@coprilettodelnapoli5466if piano playing is your focus, definitely kawai es 120 because of the action. It is even better than the p125 that I own because you can press on the inside of the keys unlike p125 where the inside gets very heavy leading to uneven playing. This is not on your list but I have seen very good things about Casio px 560 action, sounds and features. That would be my TOP recommendation and it costs about the same as the kawai es 120. Top recommendation if you can get your hands on it (the inside of the keys can be played in this one too). Casio px 160 from your list apparently has the same action as the px 560 but I have not personally tried it. I won't recommend the Roland fp10 and the korg b2 because the action feels like logs. They do make great unweighted keyboards. I own a Korg liano and love it to bits.
I mean, he surely guessed the Yamaha right away---bright and punchy CFX sample, heavy action. That's how they roll. I really think the P-125 is a big upgrade from the P-115, especially since the price remained the same. I'm really interested in seeing how the new Yamaha P-515 stacks up against the Roland FP-90 and especially, the Kawaii ES-8, particularly as far as the action and response are concerned. I'm surprised you didn't add the new Korg to this mix. I think it costs about the same as the P-125 and has the Kronos keyboard action...
sobrcelt Just for clarity’s sake, the P-125 has a sample of the Yamaha CFIIIS (known as “Pure CF”) - whereas the P-515 has the CFX sample which is the current flagship and comes equipped with binaural sampling. The P-515 is essentially a portable mid range Clavinova (wooden keys with escapement) whereas the P-125 is a portable version of the previous Arius models.
@@sobrcelt the CFIIIS is also a 9 foot grand but is a different build quality to the CFX which is the current flagship. No issue, just wanted to make sure you were aware of the differences between the two P-series models. The P-515 is a wonderful upgrade option
The Yamaha has a much lighter action than the Roland, so I wouldn't call it a heavy action, probably one of the lightest around. But he still recognised it for sure.
I'd love to see a blindfold challenge of the best 88 key MIDI controller keyboards, i.e. weighted or hammer action. I simply don't need a keyboard with its own sounds, but would like a good key action
There wouldn't really be a point, since any non-Roland or non-Kawai 88 key hammer / weighted MIDI controller uses Fatars, which are junk. Yamaha don't make simple 88-key MIDI controllers and Roland left that market recently, so your only choice is the Kawai VPC-1. If you're willing to spend a little extra and shop around, you can look into any 88-key stage piano and use it as a MIDI controller. All of them have USB MIDI, some have a couple extra sliders and pots, and they will have better action than any dedicated controller. A couple years back, I wanted the action in the VPC-1 but couldn't get on without a more comprehensive control surface. So I bought an MP-11. Now I want for nothing.
@@nezkeys79 I personally disagree, think the keybed is really good for the price, the Piano sound blows these ones out of the water, and the build quality is good to top it off.
fp30 has more buttons, so it's easier to use the functions. fp10 only has 3.5mm output, but fp30 has both 3.5mm and 1/4" outputs fp30 has more onboard voices/sounds fp30 has higher polygony (128 vs 96) fp30 chassis is a bit bigger I bought the fp30 over the fp10 mainly due to the 1/4" output and the extra sounds. Definitely love the fp30 sound and feel.
@@KZ-lw9gc, also more powerful speakers (if your floors like to listen to music). But as for more onboard sounds - you can get all the same sounds of FP30 on FP10 through the app. If money is not a problem buy FP30, otherwise FP10 is almost the same thing.
Do an "expensive" 88-Key Piano with some nords and yamahas and kawaiis thrown in there. Maybe make it a "road" based video for touring artists to help find a good one
Back in the 90s if you wanted a good action on a digital you would pay something near a 2nd hand upright. 2 to 4 k. A crappy arranger or a entry grade synth would be around 800 usd. Keybeds have never been so cheap and have so good feel on them. I really like the casios sinking kbed feel, but I can't stand the sub par quality of the samples. Imho the best of breed is the yamahas with such a great kbed and sample of the piano.
Choice of piano depends a lot on the touch and how it feels to play. Some feel too light and others too heavy. I have a Kawai MP6. Bear in mind that only two firms that make DP's also make acoustic ones - Yamaha and Kawai
Ewen Flint That’s irrelevant! Casio’s older keyboards prior to the PX-S1000 have some of the best action and feel on the market, if you’re used to pianos created before 1980, and they don’t make an acoustic piano. Also, Roland has done some serious work on completely generating the piano sounds from scratch... They’ve done a very good job at this.
Great video chaps. Would still like to have seen if the inbuilt reverb been turned back on would have made any difference. Interesting he picked up on the yamaha being bright as yamaha acoustic pianos are voiced on the brighter side.
Do you have a comparison of MIDI pianos/keyboards? I don't need any sound from the unit, just send MIDI performance to computer/iphone where my synth/piano software runs.
I think you mean fp-60 because the fp-90 is a higher league. 60 has same key touch and sounds as 30. 90 has the higher quality keyboard. Check “pianos dreamers” website for reviews
Epic - and so are the piano stools. Do you know how a person could procure such a stool? only I have checked your site and I can't find one like these listed ? any help appreciated...
Nice impartial blind test, good vid bois. Glad he landed on the Roland because that's the one I've always thought has the edge over the P 125 (edit: now have the Roland and its incredible for the price. Tried out both of them in store and the Roland easily edged the Yamaha)
Hey Jack and Dan. I'm really enjoying these videos and learning a lot, but there's so much stuff available used these days, especially lots of 10 to 15 year old pianos. How about a blindfold challenge with a mix of old and new equipment? I'd be curious to know how much the tech / sounds / feel have come along and whether it's worth buying a new model, over something maybe higher end from a few years back. good idea ey?! I know! ;-) Love, Tom
this is a very unique concept,so glad to find my fellow blindfolded pianists,hope to meet you someday,so far I could play Minute Waltz by Chopin,Czardas by Vittorio Monti and Alla Turca by Mozart blindfolded.
The topmost available E on the Casio appears to be out of true, sitting noticeably below the adjoining D and F (see e.g. at 12:10). Not an ideal advert for the retailer selling these pianos.
The Yamaha P-125 has a surprisingly sweet sound from it's built in speakers, and for me, the keyboard has just the right touch. I've switched to keyboards from a lifetime of playing guitar, and this satisfies my itch for learning piano, using an online program, "Playground Sessions." The optional stand is kind of overpriced, but if you use something different note that the speakers are aimed down so they need to be on a stand that doesn't block them, for the best sound.
I agree, it would have rounded out the category. Maybe we can convince them to reshoot :D This is one of the hotter price points and I think this was a really useful watch.
agreed, the only one who could beat them all. especially for the keyboard action and the great pedal. when it comes to sounds, that's totally down to taste. I prefer VSTis xD
Just yesterday bought the Roland and today watched this video. I feel kind of relieved he chose that one because the Yamaha was in my top list too. But it's true both are quite impressive for the price tag. Nice video and amaizing spot of that untuned key of the Casio!
The sound was recorded direct but was he listening to them through monitor speakers, amps or the keyboard speakers ? Because the FP30 speakers are horrible.
If you're looking to learn piano it might be worth checking out our video of Jack teaching guitarist's how to play piano! th-cam.com/video/uQ8xo1osZmo/w-d-xo.html - Maltese Falcon
Nice, was thinking of getting a digital piano, the roland was the only one to make me feel something, very very nice sounding samples, weirdly did not like the shouty character of the Yamaha...
I'm looking for a high quality(no reliability issues) 61-76 key digital midi keyboard/synth, something with control over the sound like what a Nord keyboards has.. but with preference for internal speakers.. any good recommendations for around $600?
Yamaha for me! The Roland sounded good and had very nice character, but some times there was some odd things going on with the sustain. Yamaha had that classic bright "in your face" type of sound that Yamahas are known for. Less character, maybe, but better balanced. The Casio was not really in the same league although I was impressed with how well they fared in the lower price segments.

Interesting he picked up on the yamaha being bright as yamaha acoustic pianos are voiced on the brighter side.
Do you have a comparison of MIDI pianos/keyboards? I don't need any sound from the unit, just send MIDI performance to computer/iphone where my synth/piano software runs.
Physis k4? Who has an opinion?
Next please kawai es-8, roland fp-90, yamaha p-515
PX-3000S should be also tested with these 3, although it's possible the Roland FP90 will soon be replaced.
@@dougmarkham You mean fp-100?
@ You might think so Žilvaras but I couldn't possibly comment 🤔😉
@@dougmarkham PHA-50 to hybrid grand keyboard?
I think you mean fp-60 because the fp-90 is a higher league. 60 has same key touch and sounds as 30. 90 has the higher quality keyboard. Check “pianos dreamers” website for reviews
For the keyboards that you can’t disable the speakers... just use a quarter inch jack adapter in the headphone out.
He should do a breakdown of those chords
just lots of inversions.
Epic - and so are the piano stools. Do you know how a person could procure such a stool? only I have checked your site and I can't find one like these listed ? any help appreciated...
Nice impartial blind test, good vid bois. Glad he landed on the Roland because that's the one I've always thought has the edge over the P 125
(edit: now have the Roland and its incredible for the price. Tried out both of them in store and the Roland easily edged the Yamaha)
How do you record to the computer with the roland fp30?
@@aight365 literally no clue never figured it out. If you do let me know
Hey Jack and Dan. I'm really enjoying these videos and learning a lot, but there's so much stuff available used these days, especially lots of 10 to 15 year old pianos. How about a blindfold challenge with a mix of old and new equipment? I'd be curious to know how much the tech / sounds / feel have come along and whether it's worth buying a new model, over something maybe higher end from a few years back. good idea ey?! I know! ;-) Love, Tom
Thanks Harrison for this video! It helped me a lot. Regards from Brazil!
this is a very unique concept,so glad to find my fellow blindfolded pianists,hope to meet you someday,so far I could play Minute Waltz by Chopin,Czardas by Vittorio Monti and Alla Turca by Mozart blindfolded.
Why is there is no description for those chairs they are using?
The topmost available E on the Casio appears to be out of true, sitting noticeably below the adjoining D and F (see e.g. at 12:10). Not an ideal advert for the retailer selling these pianos.
This is just because the pianos are sitting on their sides which messes with the weights which are designed for gravity to come from one direction.
Can someone explain this interlude duo song these two have in between the playing?🤣🤣
I wish they made these in 73 or 61 key versions like nord those are much easier ti carry around and the weighted keys are great
There's a 76 key version on the Yamaha called the P121
I love blindfold challenge !! Do some synths next time maybe using midi controller ?
Congratulations on going over 20k subscribers. I still hope to see Bingerz behind some big budget synths with those magic fingers
No Kawai ES-110?
Who is this Daniel!!!? Teach us how you do that mate!
NP12 to see how it stacks against hammer action
The Yamaha P-125 has a surprisingly sweet sound from it's built in speakers, and for me, the keyboard has just the right touch. I've switched to keyboards from a lifetime of playing guitar, and this satisfies my itch for learning piano, using an online program, "Playground Sessions."
The optional stand is kind of overpriced, but if you use something different note that the speakers are aimed down so they need to be on a stand that doesn't block them, for the best sound.
9 too or 9.2?
Next round, toss in a KORG D1?
Hei guys what's your thoughts on Artesia pe 88? A bigener here
Good video. I have been leaning toward the fp 30, so thanks for making the decision easier for me.
And where was the kawai ES110??
You missed one of the best...
I agree, it would have rounded out the category. Maybe we can convince them to reshoot :D This is one of the hotter price points and I think this was a really useful watch.
I really need to test this one. Great reference.
Im sure that's down to the fact that Anderton don't stock Kawai, they could've borrowed one though I suppose 👍
Its not the best kawaii is very overrated
The yamaha p125 is much better
Shame you didn't include the Kawai ES110, which for me is better than the pianos in the vid.
agreed, the only one who could beat them all. especially for the keyboard action and the great pedal. when it comes to sounds, that's totally down to taste. I prefer VSTis xD
Are you aware of any high quality keyboards or digital pianos that will show you the chord that you are playing on the LCD screen?
All of them can from thier app
Roland fp 30 or kawai es110? Thanks
Just yesterday bought the Roland and today watched this video. I feel kind of relieved he chose that one because the Yamaha was in my top list too. But it's true both are quite impressive for the price tag. Nice video and amaizing spot of that untuned key of the Casio!
The sound was recorded direct but was he listening to them through monitor speakers, amps or the keyboard speakers ? Because the FP30 speakers are horrible.
Where's the Kawai ES-110?
Very nice piano playing! MIght sell a Les Paul to get one of these pianos! (Can't play them though)
If you're looking to learn piano it might be worth checking out our video of Jack teaching guitarist's how to play piano!

- Maltese Falcon
I'm upgrading from a $150 keyboard I've had for years, so I can't tell the difference between these three 😂
Problems with space - well-known for those who lived in UK. 😅
Anyway, great video! 👍 I feel the same slight leaning to the FP-30.
Nice, was thinking of getting a digital piano, the roland was the only one to make me feel something, very very nice sounding samples, weirdly did not like the shouty character of the Yamaha...
More like this please
What about speaking to the ease of access to a keyboard’s sounds during a performance?
I know on the Casio Px1000 and 3000 when you switch from one sound to another the previous sound will sustain
Whoaa, love the sounds, for me Yamaha P-125 is the best, I love the brightness
Do a video on the VPC1, I use that with pianoteq. It's awesome.
roland sounds a tad sweeter than yammie
I'm looking for a high quality(no reliability issues) 61-76 key digital midi keyboard/synth, something with control over the sound like what a Nord keyboards has.. but with preference for internal speakers.. any good recommendations for around $600?
Yamaha np32 is great but it’s kinda semi weighted but has touch sensitivity but it’s very affordable way under $600
Yamaha for me! The Roland sounded good and had very nice character, but some times there was some odd things going on with the sustain. Yamaha had that classic bright "in your face" type of sound that Yamahas are known for. Less character, maybe, but better balanced. The Casio was not really in the same league although I was impressed with how well they fared in the lower price segments.
Yamaha has the best sound almost all the time
@@DavidLM69 Haha, you actually like something 👍 But only your own opinion of course.
