When you said 140 pounds more, I thought you meant "weight", and I almost shat myself thinking how on earth I'm gonna wheel this thing back to my room from the shipping office. Then I realized you were talking about price. thank god Lol
Thank you very much for the video, i'm a beginner and i'll probably go for the p45 because even though this video conviced me that the p115 has a better sound, it still costs 140 pounds more than the p45 and as a beginner i'll probably need quite some time to feel a really big difference between the two. Keep going !
I almost got the P45 because it was cheaper, then I thought, “I paid more for my phone, why am I complaining about the price of a nice piano?" I got the P115.
I'm a piano player and i have 2 kids. I needed something to both gigging and use as a home piano for my kids to learn. The ability to take it off the stand and disable the monitors and use it with a mixer, made the decision so more easy, even against Arius 142! Great video! Cheers.
So what kind of capability does it have in terms of being able to connect to computer, or recording device to record with it--even amplify it further? does it have 'line in" "host .."etc...? thanks
@@MiguelCatalaoMusic thanks! --so I'd need a midi interface or a usb interface to do that; and could i use a cheaper chromebook--and it work (without crazy latency)--of is the latency i got before not due to the chromebook but to the program running recording--(like perhaps get Audacity program but woul dhave to get that through making linux enabled on chromebook)....sorry, just if you know; thanks!
I asked my parents to buy me one for my birthday.. I'm a beginner though and my first choice is the P45 but after some research and watching this I changed my mind.. I will go for P115 :) God! Choosing between P45 and P115 sure brings back the memory when I first play Pokemon Emerald (Choosing my starter) btw nice video and thank you.
I want a keyboard for christmas but no way my parents will pay for the p115 😂😂. so p45 it is i guess. still looks like a good product. Great comparison btw
Great review! Thanks a ton, it helped me decide which one to get! Gonna go with the P45 for now. I'm a complete noob and just need something to practice on. When I can play like you I'll get the upgrade!
absolutely great video, you got all important facts. watching and listening to you is really fun and the songs you played are wonderful. thank you so much.
Thank you very much for the video. My son has just started learning and we have been advised to opt between p45 & p115. Your video has helped a lot for layman like me and we were investing good amount of hard earned money. now I have decided to buy P115 for my son. Thank you once again.
You sir just explained everything I wanted to know and the seller couldn't tell me at the store. I just thought he wanted to upsell me. Now I know I want a P115. Thanks a lot!
I bought a p45 yamaha. I use external speakers : Eris E5 monitors. The sound quality is alot better if you use a good amp. I like the keys feel good. It has 2 good piano sounds.
kamran hamidfar Glad to hear you're enjoying it. You make a good point about using extra speakers, you can really improve the sound that way. It's worth noting however that the polyphony remains the same so the piano is no more sensitive than it was using the built in speakers it's just louder. Thanks, hope you have fun using your new P45.
@ePianos.co.uk I think you're just trying to push a more expensive piano mate. The p45 has graded hammers and the only real difference is the matt black keys. Yes, there's more polyphony, however, beginner students and even intermediate, learning good technique playing Mozart for example will not use much damper (sustain) pedal. I know, I'm a concert pianist. Piano technique is the utmost importance and when I play Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven, the use of the right pedal is still used sparingly, because otherwise you will have muddy sounds. 64 note polyphony is enough. Also, watching your technique and playing just makes me feel very very sorry for your students.
Good review. Helped me with deciding. If the P-45 had been made with one decent 'rock organ', I would want to get it. Have to look at others, now. I have an old AlesisQS 88 keys, with several decent organ & piano sounds, but am just looking to find something that I might not need a dolly, (wheels) to move.
Thanks, this was really helpful. What do you think about Kawai's ES100 model? It's in the same price range as the P-115 but I thought the sound was slightly better.
How sturdy is the cross-frame stand? At some point when you were playing it looks like the keyboard was shaking and sliding a bit. And I wonder if the frame would get in the way of your knees? Thanks for the excellent and comprehensive review by the way!
+ex-mousse Thanks! - Personally I've found the double-braced x stand I use in the video to be perfectly adequate for playing with. I have played countless gigs with them and they never give me any trouble in terms of sturdyness. And the frame doesn't obstruct my knees either. Hope that helps, it's just my opinion, some people may think otherwise!
Acoustic Pianos technically have an unlimited amount of polyphony because the strings resonate naturally (in the physical world...) whereas digital keyboards and pianos are only as good as their computer inside them and therefore have a specific amount of polyphony to which it can fulfil. Hope this helps! For more info on pianos and keyboards, feel free to check out our blog. You might find it useful: epianos.co.uk/blog
should i get the dgx 660 compared to the p45 or arius ydp 143 ? tbh i rather get the p115 due to the portability, but it doesn't sell in my country, but can dgx 660 be moved around just like any portable pianos ? if it can't, i might as well buy ydp 143 because it looks better for interior in the house
Alright alright... im becoming an intermediate piano player and Im still not convinced... I like classical music the most - do I really need the whole range of sounds the p115 has or isnt the p45s range enough for something like beethovens elise ?
When you connect to a PC via USB and use virtual piano software/plugins, does the polyphony count become irrelevant? I assume the PC only needs to know the position of the keys and pedal/s and how fast they were pressed. Also, are there any product specific drivers required (like how audio interfaces have product specific ASIO drivers)? Lastly, is there any noticeable latency when using these pianos with virtual instrument software/VSTs (and are system requirements high)?
I think its court ....when the midi ....note being triggered ...I tried with different power and sensitivity ...and it can be noted in the DAW....if I am wrong , plz correct me ..thxthx
Yhea, I've got the p45 and I noticed a half second delay when playing in FL studio (I've got a i7-6700HQ)... someone knows a better software to play piano with a master midi keyboard?
Casio px160, yamaha 115 or Kawai ES100 ? which one should I buy... :/ I can chose between the same model (always go for the better one if u got the money) but hard to chose between different models (see above)
Hello, thanks for this wonderful video! It's life-saving!!! When you say you can transpose the key of a song in both pianos....you mean I play the same notes and yet it can sound a few keys higher or lower??? Another question, can I connect the P45 to a computer? I am a singer that usually uses professional karaokes for live presentations, but I want to be able to play a few songs with live piano and voice, but adding electric guitar, bass and drums though a computer. I already have these personalized karaokes, actually, as mp3 and mp4 files; entire songs in which I only removed the piano and vocal sections so I can do those live. Can I actually achieve this with the P45?? Thanks!
+Kaylasa JaguarStar Yes, and yes. The transpose feature has been a life saver for me over the years, particularly when my singer needs the key lowered and I'm not clever enough to figure out how to play it, I just use transpose button and play the same notes, magic!
ePianos.co.uk Two more questions: 1.- if I can connect the piano to my computer, do I need a special software to be able to mix both? Or I just need my mixer and the speakers? 2.- Can I use this piano to create music by computer, or would I need a different type of keyboard?
+Kaylasa JaguarStar Most computers have some sort of recording software on them, but GarageBand for mac is brilliant and so easy to use. Yes, you can use this keyboard to create music by computer, but the built in sounds are a bit limited, maybe look at the Yamaha DGX650 for more variety, I made a video comparing it to the P115 here; th-cam.com/video/2A6MvDB8E4A/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13vjh3ptz31yv4me23msh5bmpnxfvubx04
I'm just getting into recording and all and I own this keyboard, does anyone know how he recorded it exactly? Not trying to send data with the USB port. But my question really is, would it work if I plugged a mixer to this and then to my computer through the headphone jack of the they keyboard?
I mostly just improvise but occasionally throw in a popular piece for something I've written. If there's anything specific just tell me the time stamp and I'll let you know.
I signed up for piano lessons today and was in the store talking to the sales rep for a digital piano to use. He recommended either the P115 or the P45 to start out as a beginner. This video (and your blind sound test) helped a lot in the selection process for my first piano. One thing to note, is the I/O connectivity on the two. the P45 has a USB port and a Headphone jack, while the P115 has 2 headphone jacks, auxiliary out, and usb.
i own the p45 after 3.5 yrs on casio px300 which has a clank everytime you hit, thus poor to no dynamics. The p45 is excellent value for money, my first impression was uncertanty, dynamic range is huge, i have repertoir of 112 pieces, classical & jazz marathons only, it has made my going over these pieces first time feel like a playful new world. Very happy!
I am now retired. Used to play accordion and dabbled in piano in my youth. Stopped the accordian ( was concert level player) when it could not satisfy the depth of emotions I wanted to express. Started Piano when 13 but soon had to go out and work to help support the family. Now at 71 I am ready to tackle the piano. For me the p115 was the obvious choice. But I saw that in april 2018 the p125 replaced the p115 and although there are not many extra bells and whistles I opted for the p125. I will receive it in 3 days. Cant wait. I am from across the pond and will let everyone know how it works out. Funny thing I picked up some sheet music and I can still sight read all the notes. Guess this is one thing you dont lose when you get older.
Glad to help. I realise that when you're new to piano there are so many things to learn and it can be daunting, so I try and keep that in mind and explain things in simple terms.
I am having psre303 yamaha keyboard and i like its piano sound.. never played piano before. My question is if i buy p45 will i find its sound better than keyboard? Should i go for p45?
Thanks that was helpful. I play the harp and never really wanted to play piano. But over the years I ask my harp if she didn't mind my studying the piano so I am just starting the piano but as it seems a bit in the harp ram it will do well. Because I have been playing harp for 20 years I think I will try your p115. I love creating my own. But it will have to be in the US.
Wow that's really useful..I'm a beginner & I'm confuse in choosing between this 2 models,& after watching this video, I think I have made my choice to buy my very first piano,Thanks !
+Zefotru Between the P115 and P45, you made the better choice by far. The inclusion of 1/4" L/R Aux Outs on the P115 is worth the price difference. Without them, you cannot connect them to an audio interface to record, external speakers or an amp. That is a huge deal. I played the P115 yesterday, it's really nice.
Excellent educational videos and comparisons from Chris at ePianos. I'm a complete beginner and found the information here very useful. I also got on to an online chat with Chris, received some great advice and now I'm standing by the front door, waiting for my shiny new P115 plus accessories.
Regarding speaker theory: It is very hard to built a single speaker that is capable of playing the full frequency spectrum without a high amount of distortion, especially in higher frequency regions. By using a two-way speaker system, you gain level in lower regions without raising the distortion level in higher regions. So you could say that the p115 is MORE RELAXED when it comes to playback.
This is what a salesperson should be explaining the differences of each models.Well done and good job.You just made me to buy the P115 soon.Thumbs up.Thanks
64 X 192 notes of polyphony. Is that possible to hear this diference? I don't think so! What kind pianist does need more than 64 notes? There are just 88 keys! This vídeo doesn' t show these diferences. On rock'n roll (17:40) the left hand doesn't play at the same position. It seems more bass. But is not true: simply he does diferents positions to bass region!
Great video :) usually when I see 2 very similar instruments with a big price difference I tend to feel ripped off :( but for £140 the p115 is totally worth it :O .. liked and subscribed :D
The P45 sounded better. He is pushing the P115 because it's more expensive and he is selling pianos. Hence, his preference. I think Yamaha may just put one 64 poly chip on the P45 and three 64 poly chips on the P115 (64 x 3 = 192 poly) to be able to sell the P115 at a higher price. Thus, make 2 exact pianos for 2 budget shoppers. You may pay more for just 2 cheap chips.
The P-115 is the way to go. If your going to make an investment in a digital piano, its just a better piece of equipment and sound than the P-45 hands down. Both bang for the bucks.
That was a super and clear demonstration! I was looking to buy my daughter a P45 but will now look at the P115 especially for the additional pianos, record feature and the increased polyphony..well worth the extra hard earned money..once again, thank you so much for making my decision easier.
ePianos.co.uk Many thanks Chris for your brillient presentation between the P115 v P255 although as stated there I'd already decided last week on the P255 which arrived a couple of days ago. I am very pleased with my purchase/decision and even more so since watching & listening to your excellent presentaion
i have to say i am pleased that i watched your demo video, as for me, the P115 has much better features that i would really benefit from especially the 3rd piano sound, which is much more my style. One note, however, is that it may be hard for viewers to get a balanced perception of the comparison if you are using just one mic, as the mic sounds like it is positioned closer to the P115, and if so, and the mic is a large diaphragm condenser mic, there may be some proximity effect taking place that will enhance the low frequencies emitted from the P115 (due to the mic being closer to it). Personally, sound quality and the feel is more important than how many programs it has, or how many other features outside the normal piano features and Midi. As i personally would use it as a piano feel midi controller or a stage piano. Where quality is more important than quantity. So, yep pleased i watched your video, as i was planning on buying a P45 to replace an old Roland Stage Piano that i had which recently broke down, now i will definitely not instead opting for the P115. Unlikely that i will use the speakers, the record function or any other program but the piano's. But still, decent product for the money,. These days you get a lot for your money! i remember not so long ago, any stage piano would cost over £700 for entry level. So awesome what you get for your money.
What is even there to dislike in this video !! ? A person talking about two musical instruments, and the presentation is very good as well. 168 idiots here who either just hate everything or don't know what they are watching.
This is a very well made video from a nice, pleasant gentleman from the great vicinity of the UK, clarifying important features of both. At 8:43 minutes: I love the way he expresses and feels the music after pressing the play button without playing anything.
This may be a longshot, would you be able to share the names of the songs you riff at 16:05, 16:33, 17:13, 18:23, and 19:22? Thanks for the awesome review and riffs!
Thank you so much - It's all improvisation and could probably never play it that way again sorry! I've been playing a lot of improvisation on my personal TH-cam channel here: th-cam.com/users/Teleandfilmmusicvideos

Keep going !
How you getting on with it?? I'm interested in starting and so confused about what to get :(
I’ve been playing for about a year and a half and I think I am going to get the p45
I almost got the P45 because it was cheaper, then I thought, “I paid more for my phone, why am I complaining about the price of a nice piano?"
I got the P115.
I'm a piano player and i have 2 kids. I needed something to both gigging and use as a home piano for my kids to learn. The ability to take it off the stand and disable the monitors and use it with a mixer, made the decision so more easy, even against Arius 142!
Great video!
Cheers.
So what kind of capability does it have in terms of being able to connect to computer, or recording device to record with it--even amplify it further? does it have 'line in" "host .."etc...? thanks
@@georgebazley1808 I thought nk you can connect it to a pc throug USB but it's only midi connectivity.
@@MiguelCatalaoMusic thanks! --so I'd need a midi interface or a usb interface to do that; and could i use a cheaper chromebook--and it work (without crazy latency)--of is the latency i got before not due to the chromebook but to the program running recording--(like perhaps get Audacity program but woul dhave to get that through making linux enabled on chromebook)....sorry, just if you know; thanks!
@@georgebazley1808 no, as p115 has usb it is already a midi interface so it will appear to your daw as any other midi device.
BTW, the p115 is discontinued and the nearest model this day is the p125.
Got my P115 from you guys today. Delivered as promised and so far I am loving it. Thanks for such great service and a very easy purchasing experience.

Same but hey the p115 is better but p45 is by no means bad

P45 is really good but if u can get p115
It may be a wee bit late, but you could also pay some extra of your own money to get the P115 ;). That's what I did and I sure don't regret it. :D

One critique. You need to learn the opening chord to Just the Way you Are! ;-) 2nd one is a G2 suspension. The sheet music has always printed is wrong
Thanks, I'll try that!
Last time I saw a P 45 was over 10 years ago before I went freelance.

To be honest, constantly favouring the p115 due to the heftier price tag does get pretty tiresome.
Does an accoustics piano have 192 polyphony notes??

Good question, I would say only 88, one per string. In that case, does the P115 sound better than the original piano they recorded the notes from?
should i get the dgx 660 compared to the p45 or arius ydp 143 ? tbh i rather get the p115 due to the portability, but it doesn't sell in my country, but can dgx 660 be moved around just like any portable pianos ? if it can't, i might as well buy ydp 143 because it looks better for interior in the house

Octavio12341000 can you use it as a midi keyboard? How much did you buy it fir cause I'm deciding to get one too
Octavio12341000 what about connecting P115 to PC ? Any software you needed ?
No it's a digital piano which mostly (as in this case) has weighted keys.
Octavio12341000 for about 15$ more, You got the Roland FP 30 that is a better piano
¿What about the P45 vs the P105? They are roughtly the same price here in my country!
I signed up for piano lessons today and was in the store talking to the sales rep for a digital piano to use. He recommended either the P115 or the P45 to start out as a beginner. This video (and your blind sound test) helped a lot in the selection process for my first piano.
One thing to note, is the I/O connectivity on the two. the P45 has a USB port and a Headphone jack, while the P115 has 2 headphone jacks, auxiliary out, and usb.
I was Going To buy p-45 but you have changed my mind with this comparison . Thx for the video
Glad to help.
same
Me too lol
Same
same
I like the sound of P45 more. It’s mor soft, gentle and warm.
One of the best piano reviews I've seen on the internet. He explains it really clear for all of us beginners who have no idea about pianos.
i own the p45 after 3.5 yrs on casio px300 which has a clank everytime you hit, thus poor to no dynamics. The p45 is excellent value for money, my first impression was uncertanty, dynamic range is huge, i have repertoir of 112 pieces, classical & jazz marathons only, it has made my going over these pieces first time feel like a playful new world. Very happy!
jack22van 2 weeks later would you still recommend it?
jack22van would you recommend the P45 of a beginner? I'm looking for a weighted keyboard with good speakers.
My parents gave me a p45 on my birthday. I have realized it has some limitations comparing to p115, but it's pretty good any way. I love it.
You have good parents, i'm working my job saving up for this but the struggle is real atm! wish me luck
good luck :D

No advantage 🌟😙
hey, do you know how we can connect the p45 to a computer and listen to it using software?
Really your reviews are awesome, simple and to the point. Big Thank You 👍
This was very helpful, informative and concise. Thanks so much!
I am now retired. Used to play accordion and dabbled in piano in my youth. Stopped the accordian ( was concert level player) when it could not satisfy the depth of emotions I wanted to express. Started Piano when 13 but soon had to go out and work to help support the family. Now at 71 I am ready to tackle the piano. For me the p115 was the obvious choice. But I saw that in april 2018 the p125 replaced the p115 and although there are not many extra bells and whistles I opted for the p125. I will receive it in 3 days. Cant wait. I am from across the pond and will let everyone know how it works out. Funny thing I picked up some sheet music and I can still sight read all the notes. Guess this is one thing you dont lose when you get older.
Great choice! Happy playing Russell! - Isaac
I love your way in explaining everything and how you simplify it to beginners like me..great video keep it up :)
Glad to help. I realise that when you're new to piano there are so many things to learn and it can be daunting, so I try and keep that in mind and explain things in simple terms.
you did :) thanks again
I am having psre303 yamaha keyboard and i like its piano sound.. never played piano before. My question is if i buy p45 will i find its sound better than keyboard? Should i go for p45?
Yes. Yamaha p45 has a better piano sample... but if you will buy that piano you will feel the keys so heavy!
2019 and still watch it! Thanks for the review mate, decided already for my kids
Thanks that was helpful. I play the harp and never really wanted to play piano. But over the years I ask my harp if she didn't mind my studying the piano so I am just starting the piano but as it seems a bit in the harp ram it will do well. Because I have been playing harp for 20 years I think I will try your p115. I love creating my own. But it will have to be in the US.
Glad this guy was British, made the videos credibility easy to trust .
Can't tell if joke or xenophobic 🤔 (still assuming that it is a joke tho)
I've got one of those crappy Yamaha £50 pianos :( doing grade 4 really think p115 will keep me happy for years
I think if you are a beginner buy a p 115 but if you are a experienced player buy the p45
IllusionX shouldn’t that be other way around?
Srijan Kumar Singh Yes, according to the video, but what I said is just my opinion.
Wow that's really useful..I'm a beginner & I'm confuse in choosing between this 2 models,& after watching this video, I think I have made my choice to buy my very first piano,Thanks !
Crystal Su Ai Jing Thank you
Hi! Which one did you choose?
navs4028 i chose p115 hope its worth my money :^)
Zefotru I thought u'll answer I chose the Kawai ES100
+Zefotru Between the P115 and P45, you made the better choice by far. The inclusion of 1/4" L/R Aux Outs on the P115 is worth the price difference. Without them, you cannot connect them to an audio interface to record, external speakers or an amp. That is a huge deal. I played the P115 yesterday, it's really nice.
Sorry I was on the wrong side of the pond to purchase from you but thanks to your videos, we are loving our p115, Keep the videos coming
+gavin Slattery Oh come on Gavin, get on a plane and come visit the store. You can take one home with you.
Excellent educational videos and comparisons from Chris at ePianos. I'm a complete beginner and found the information here very useful. I also got on to an online chat with Chris, received some great advice and now I'm standing by the front door, waiting for my shiny new P115 plus accessories.

This is Excellent. Great presentation. Extremely useful.
I'm literally buying a P-115 tomorrow.
Thanks again!
Luke McKELVEY Thanks Luke.
How much you spent.
Regarding speaker theory: It is very hard to built a single speaker that is capable of playing the full frequency spectrum without a high amount of distortion, especially in higher frequency regions. By using a two-way speaker system, you gain level in lower regions without raising the distortion level in higher regions. So you could say that the p115 is MORE RELAXED when it comes to playback.
In my country P45 cost 50p dollars and P115 900... 400 dollars of difference so... i will buy the P45
I found this video extremely helpful. I feel more confident going with the P115.
Thank you very much for this good video. Professional and straight to the point. Great job! It will be the 115 for me.
Im in another country so we just got a piano for me from friends of my dad and i ve got p115 for free lol. In my country and home i have acustic piano
So far this is for me the Best and Most Helpful review and comparison. Thank you very much! :)
the extra speakers really make a big difference, the sound is so much richer
+ItsKimiK totally agree. I really can hear it
This is what a salesperson should be explaining the differences of each models.Well done and good job.You just made me to buy the P115 soon.Thumbs up.Thanks
I think I'll go with P115B. Thanks for the nice comparison.
64 X 192 notes of polyphony. Is that possible to hear this diference? I don't think so! What kind pianist does need more than 64 notes? There are just 88 keys! This vídeo doesn' t show these diferences. On rock'n roll (17:40) the left hand doesn't play at the same position. It seems more bass. But is not true: simply he does diferents positions to bass region!
Great video :) usually when I see 2 very similar instruments with a big price difference I tend to feel ripped off :( but for £140 the p115 is totally worth it :O .. liked and subscribed :D
The P45 sounded better. He is pushing the P115 because it's more expensive and he is selling pianos. Hence, his preference. I think Yamaha may just put one 64 poly chip on the P45 and three 64 poly chips on the P115 (64 x 3 = 192 poly) to be able to sell the P115 at a higher price. Thus, make 2 exact pianos for 2 budget shoppers. You may pay more for just 2 cheap chips.
I just watched your video. So helpful thank you!! Keep up the great videos. Just started to follow you. Yay!
The only minus is that you played not the same pieces to compare. All the rest is great in the review
The P-115 is the way to go. If your going to make an investment in a digital piano, its just a better piece of equipment and sound than the P-45 hands down. Both bang for the bucks.
This video was exactly what I needed, thank you very much.
What's your take? Which one would you go for?
I know this is irrelevant but I think the 45 should be the big brother since it's the older version of the 115 😊.
They both have been released since 2015.
Now p-125 is going to replace p-115.
I think there won't be a replacement for p-45.
That was a super and clear demonstration! I was looking to buy my daughter a P45 but will now look at the P115 especially for the additional pianos, record feature and the increased polyphony..well worth the extra hard earned money..once again, thank you so much for making my decision easier.
I own a p-45. But p-115 is way much better, better sound. By the way need a new chair.
Love your videos.
I am considering learning the piano as an adult. Thank you so much for this video!
aren't we all, friend
Yeah another good comparison look forward to your Yamaha P115 v P255 Comparison, What piano should I buy' you promised soon thanks
James Wood As promised James, here's your P115 v P255 video: th-cam.com/video/I9vcKWAmpNY/w-d-xo.html
ePianos.co.uk Many thanks Chris for your brillient presentation between the P115 v P255 although as stated there I'd already decided last week on the P255 which arrived a couple of days ago. I am very pleased with my purchase/decision and even more so since watching & listening to your excellent presentaion
i have to say i am pleased that i watched your demo video, as for me, the P115 has much better features that i would really benefit from especially the 3rd piano sound, which is much more my style.
One note, however, is that it may be hard for viewers to get a balanced perception of the comparison if you are using just one mic, as the mic sounds like it is positioned closer to the P115, and if so, and the mic is a large diaphragm condenser mic, there may be some proximity effect taking place that will enhance the low frequencies emitted from the P115 (due to the mic being closer to it).
Personally, sound quality and the feel is more important than how many programs it has, or how many other features outside the normal piano features and Midi. As i personally would use it as a piano feel midi controller or a stage piano. Where quality is more important than quantity.
So, yep pleased i watched your video, as i was planning on buying a P45 to replace an old Roland Stage Piano that i had which recently broke down, now i will definitely not instead opting for the P115. Unlikely that i will use the speakers, the record function or any other program but the piano's.
But still, decent product for the money,.
These days you get a lot for your money! i remember not so long ago, any stage piano would cost over £700 for entry level. So awesome what you get for your money.
I'm getting p115 pretty soon after financial support from my father come in, lol.
EXCELLENT video. Probably picking up a P115 today, but gonna try out a couple. Nice to know the differences beforehand.
What is even there to dislike in this video !! ? A person talking about two musical instruments, and the presentation is very good as well. 168 idiots here who either just hate everything or don't know what they are watching.
Exactly the two I've been considering. So helpful thank you!
This is a very well made video from a nice, pleasant gentleman from the great vicinity of the UK, clarifying important features of both. At 8:43 minutes: I love the way he expresses and feels the music after pressing the play button without playing anything.
This may be a longshot, would you be able to share the names of the songs you riff at 16:05, 16:33, 17:13, 18:23, and 19:22? Thanks for the awesome review and riffs!
Thank you so much - It's all improvisation and could probably never play it that way again sorry! I've been playing a lot of improvisation on my personal TH-cam channel here: th-cam.com/users/Teleandfilmmusicvideos
