When I was about 15 or 16 years old, I got an acoustic piano as a present from one of my uncles. My visual impairment had got worse - I still went to a "normal" school, so it wasn't that bad yet. However, it wasn't advisable that I go out doing lots of sports that could put my eyes at risk. He noticed though that music was my thing. I already played keyboards - the good ol' Yamaha PSR 500 - and the guitar. Sometimes I wish he had spent less money and got me a mid-range Clavinova with more interesting features - as stated to my full agreement in this video. Nevertheless, I am still very grateful to my uncle for having given me the opportunity to fall in love with 88 weighted keys. :)
The best Yamaha digital pianos are from the Avantgrand series. A quality action and piano sound is far more important for most actual players than arranger-type features, which are hardly cutting edge anyway.. You can find good arranger / tutorial programs on a laptop or a phone if needed, which you can buy with the money saved!
Please make Yamaha keybords accessible to the blind. Include a feature where the letter notes are called out for each song Maybe with earphones so you can also hear the music separatly. I would like to be the beta tester for this product.
Besides the lights you should have a feature where the digital piano calls out the letter notes so that blind persons can use the feature to learn. It’s called accessability.
I want to upgrade from my CVP-609B to either CVP-809B or CVP-909B... Any differences between the two besides the Pedal Action? I'm afraid the Pedal for the 909 is not smooth or bit harder to push from the 809 Any recommendations plz?
Because AvantGrands are more for pure piano players. The arranger functions on this 809 comes from Yamaha's high end arranger keyboards(Genos and Tyros specifically). It is truly a hybrid of a high end digital grand and a high end arranger keyboard. If you only use the piano sound then this one is not for you. P-45 and AvantGrand are one type, DGX and CVP are of another type, see it?
mmmm Because they are still digital pianos, Yamaha still categorizes them as digital pianos, and they are for home use. AvantGrand is probably for professionals,
I don't get the idea of the CVP809, it looks to me like old electric pianos from the 90s ^^`, especially at this price point, why not an AvantGrand N3X?
I love the fact that CVP series exists. AvantGrand are for pure piano players only. The arranger functions like style, voices, one touch settings, recorders are from Yamaha's top arranger keyboards. If you ever want a fully weighted 88 key arranger keyboard, this is probably the only option other than the DGX. It does not have the traditional piano aesthetics because it is not supposed to be like one. I can make symphonic music pretty easily on a CVP and save it, but I cannot do it on N3X, at least a lot harder. But I get your idea, it does look quite odd.
If you want to learn study or simply play a piano, buy a piano. If you are an arranger, or a recording studio, or a rich guy that needs a new toy, there is the cvp 809. Obviously they want to sell it, so they must say that all that useless stuff is important for a normal pianist. The thing is: pianists buy grand pianos, cos that is the Ferrari, even if they dont need that. Serious Students buy acoustic or (now) hybrid or top digital. Beginners starts hiring an acoustic or a simply digital (even if it s not a good choice): the base line of acoustic yamaha is way better than the p45. But for children at first year can be a good choice, or as a second keyboard. 809, as said, is a good toy for nerds, arrangers, soloists in clubs or rich guys that must show it in tiktoks
@@Mr850man I don't believe so, the N3X has an actual (adapted) grand piano mechanism inside (you can check on Yamaha's website). Perhaps you are confusing with the NU1 which is indeed a upright action?
How would you compare the keyboard action [grand touch] on the latest CLP 785 vs the CVP 809? Are these the same, or does CLP 785 offer a more authentic feeling experience of a grand piano compared to CVP.
Should I invest in digital piano 😄😄😄😅 it’s like investing in laptop. It’s very good entertainment center Will keeps you lazy boy little bit longer to play with a keyboard, but it is not an investment.
Sorry, but they should have at least had a proficient pianist to demo these instruments. No offence to 'Texas' but sorry, you didn't do it for me or show off these instruments to their best
Tons of free ones on Facebook marketplace because no one wants them. The reason no one wants it is because of the moving cost. Just go find a decent one get it moved and tuned and your done.

It is not a Yamaha CVP-809 (model B - cheaper around 9500 $ ), it is the top model Yamaha CVP-809 GP.
There is also a YAMAHA CVP-809 PE.
I have owned the Yamaha P-45 for over a year. I really, really like it and would buy it again.

I need to know what the song is that is played at (20:30) Someone tell me!!!

"Texas" Tim Root does the showings for Alesis drums too. Really talented guy, being so proficient in these very differing instruments
I quite agree. While Patrick 'loves' to talk, I'd like Texas to have more say as he's much more adept at playing.
Literally, every single piano review in the entire universe - the same music is played.

Thank you for the video. Please compare cvp 809 vs genos ( just acoustic piano)
Could you please do a comparison between the CVP 809 and the CVP 805?
yes! pelsse
Yes, would love a detailed comparison of the 805 vs 809.
chlewis123 you said it!!
I don't understand why you wouldn't just buy an n1x or n3x at that price point? I guess the clavinova is a better piano for a drummer?

@@Yothlan N3X is upright mechanism, Clavinova simulates grand mechanism.

I hope i have one .😔 even p45 I cant afford huhu😔🙁
the P stands for Portable. I bet CVP doesn't stand for Clavinova Portable. You need a crane to move that thing
Ooh my god
Can't even afford to rent a crane. LMAO
If Mike Ehrmantraut says, I believe
I have 52 piano keys (Yamaha Arius) for 8 years and I never needed more..
What? how?
Need 125 vs 809
Will pass this on!

Cool.

I seriously think he was good enough. But not sure why they did not get a stronger player.
I wanted to listen to Texas more...but Partick wouldn"t let him talk...what a disgusting guy.
I want piano . But piano is for rich only
Joshua Molina no? Not really?
@@foxygrandpa_9139 even yamaha p45😣😭
Joshua Molina bruh just get a cheap keyboard 130$ 61 key
I think pianos are for piano players
