Casio should just take one of these lower end digitals, add pitch/mod wheels, remove the onboard sound engine and sell it as an 88 key graded hammer controller. They’d sell a ton of them.
@TheSckenn Just bought it to use as a MIDI keyboard. LOVE it. ACtion is exactly like the prvia's which I think is perfect. Totally different feel to all my VST's. Using small Akai MPD for any control I need
Man, no need of that! At the studio, I use a CDP-S100 (as a MIDI controller only) with a "Worlde Easycontrol 9" and they work simply perfectly together. And I still have the onboard sounds available, when I go to a gig. And both are very affordable for their quality.
Great vid as always from Jack and definitely do not change your presenting style! Ok so the CDP-S100. People need to keep a few things in mind here. First up this is the entry level model and the whole idea behind it is to bring a "quality" 88 note hammer action keybed down to a price most people can afford and in that Casio have nailed it. As far as the sounds go I can tell you it definitely sounds a lot more impressive if you are in the room. I had a chance to see and hear it before launch and for £399 it is quite amazing what Casio have achieved here. As with all manufacturers, Yamaha included, they are not going to give you everything at the entry level. What you are buying in the CDP-S100 is a good quality piano with some bonus sounds and it's portable too! As with all keyboards, guitars etc the only way to really make a judgment about how they sound and play is to get your hands on one and then decide. With the CDP-S100 you may be pleasantly surprised.
Just saw your blindfold testing of 5 'boards. Damn! I'm gonna have to check this out especially with it being battery powered! Hard to think where Casio started out to where it is now.
I like how it is simple and professional looking. The sound engine is not very advanced but it sounds alright. For 399 quids I would like too look inside and see how good the hammer action is.
It's very good. The action was designed specifically for these new range of keyboards. Keys feel great. Certainly better than anything else at this price point or even double this price point.
@@Android-ds9ie I assume you mean can the SP-34 three-pedal unit be used with the CDP-S100? If that is the case then unfortunately no it cannot. You need to move up to the PX-S1000 for that feature. The CDP-S100 does come with a sustain pedal thought :)
Re: the questions below regarding how this compares to the Yamaha p-125, Kawai ES110, and Roland FP-30. This Casio keyboard isn't even in the same ballpark. However, yes, these 3 are more expensive. Then again, you have to be happy with what you buy, and, presumably it's not the type of product you're going to replace 6 months after you buy it.
Sounds very similar to the Privia PX-160 but with slightly shorter sustain to compensate the stripped down sound processor. Overall, it's a big improvement over the previous series. We all know that previous CDPs are basically a 88-key, hammer action version of Casio's portable home keyboards, the CTK-4000 series. But this one, it really packs a punch with the new sound engine. Looking forward for the CDP-S350, I bet it will be based on the new CT-X series due to its auto-accompaniment arranger capabilities
I have just started my sad, sad journey down the rabbit hole that is digital pianos and I can honestly say your videos are the best, a smattering of bullshit every now and then but hey, we all gotta make a living. Keep it going, lovely production all round, funny and entertaining. I am expiring to be the dude with the sleve tats that looks like a carp when playing, I want to get that stoned! Keep it going!
Really enjoying your videos. Great ad for your store and approach to customer education. If my local guy in Tunbridge Wells hasn't got it then you have my order!
Hi there, quick question. I would like to kindly ask which piano in your opinion is better? Casio S 100 or Yamaha P-45? I would like to learn playing piano and thinking of buying one of these two. Thank you for your opinion.
Nice demo of the sounds. Unless I missed it, you didn't mention at all how it feels. I remember the old CDP 130 being on the heavy side (which I like), but if they would only make it more of a controller type, it might serve more people. I think that in today's day and age, having built-in sounds is fine for the little cocktail hours, but serious gigs, require serious sounds...VI's triggered from some source. I get that it's a cheap piano at $400? And it's not geared for high-end gigs, but why not? If it feels good, and allows you to be expressive, I see nothing wrong with that. I've got a cheap controller and cheap does not always equal poor response, because mine is one of the best Hammer actions I've tried (especially for the price). But...point is, I think that Casio needs to make one of these as a MIDI controller, and forget the cheap sounds and loud BEEP when changing sounds...no way would that work in a gig...LOL CASIO WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!?? LOL But...great demo. Side note: I would be interested in what you think about the M-Audio Hammer88...that's what I have, and it's fantastic.
Felt really good to me Jake, had the posh wooden feel to the outside of the keys and didn't feel crappy at all. Wouod have liked the piano sample to bit a bit longer like some people have mentioned but I really think it's great. We have since done a video wherre it goes up against some very expensive alternatives in a blindfold test and it perfomed very very well so look out for that my man. Much love and thanks for watching and getting involved Xx
Nice metronome! But honestly, for 399 quid, this is a steal. Ok most sample libraries and workstations kill it, but the action looks ok and the battery option for this many keys is amazing. PS Never apologise Jack for being you. You’re very entertaining and a great keyboardist.... in an English Gentlemanly kind of way! ;)
I have the slightly newer CDP-S110 which allegedly has a better piano sound but the rest is essentially the same instrument. I've played the piano since I was 9 and I have had many electric/digital pianos over the years. Bought my S110 for fun - for busking and occasional pub gigs as it's light and can run off 6 X AA batteries, not for serious recitals. The action is fine, not too light, but does take some getting used to on faster runs/trills. Feels fairly clunky but you can dig into it. The action is not too noisy but like all digital keyboards you can hear the 'hammers' thumping away a bit but it's ok. Piano sound decays too quickly but is ok. In a busy pub/bar nobody would notice. Textured key surface - it's slightly too rough for my liking. It's not like any real piano I've ever played. It may smooth off slightly with age. The other sounds/voices are ok - nothing special. Bass notes on Grand Piano are very tinny/thin sounding - but I've heard similar on cheap acoustic uprights. It's because of the limited 64-note polyphony and small speakers. Because of the 64-polyphony, I do notice so some notes dropping out when using complex chords with sustain, but again I don't think it's an issue for the type of fun gigs I'll be doing. It's light, compact and it won't cause a double-brace X-stand to wobble too much.
Instrument is going to sound different in real life compared to whatever platform you're using to watch the video. I just like to listen to Jack's music ...
@@GrantJackson70USD , I almost settled for $179 keyboard. Haha But there's a significant difference in sound and feel and had to spend the monies for a quality keyboard. Sacraficed a chunk of money for it too. hahah 😅 ehh, guess cereal is on the menu till next payday.
Now THAT definitely is a bargain! Congrats. It's a great keyboard even at full price. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on it in more detail so if you have time perhaps drop in on the Casio section on our forum?
I'm just starting to learn piano coming from a guitar background and I do this on every sustained note lmao. Keep having to remind myself that that's not how it works
Hi Jack! Would you still recommend this one or rather Casio ct s1? I know they are totally different, but I would like to learn to play the piano and I’m not sure what the keys feel like on both..please could you advise?
The notes really seem to decay very quickly on the pianos... wonder if this is a product of the mere 64 note polyphony. The other voices sounded good, though.
Buy a digital piano for the key feel. The sound is always better through headphones, and can sound however you’d like when plugged into a computer/phone. Key feel is something you can’t change.
Compared to others, it sounds like the sound drops off very quickly. I know on the blindfold test your friend enjoyed it only second to the Nord but does it sound better in person and it could be the recording of it? For the money, it sounds very good and I'm hoping they feel of the action is competitive. I do not play but I'm looking (as an old retired man) to have something at home so I can take lessons. Could you recommend and amplifier for the system and a stand? Should I just spoil myself and get the PX-S1000?
Just trying to make sure you make the best purchase decision. The Roland fp10 has better sound, 5 more tones, exclusive app and GarageBand compatibility. Just check out the competition before buying.
Can’t find FP-10 in stock anywhere, so moot point there. I had my heart set on the FP-10 but there aren’t any to be found. Just bought a CDP-S150 instead. Identical to this CDP-S100 but has midi recorder and supports 3-pedal.
@@summerwind3217 Horrible. There's a very bad knock sound in the audio samples around E5. Sounds like someone doing construction nailing down the street. It was there on 3 CDP-S150's since I want to local Guitar Center to rule out just mine being a dud. It was immensely distracting. You really hear it when playing on headphones which I mostly do, it might be tolerable if you play through the speakers. The matte keys felt cheap, but action felt fine. I'm happier with my better sounding 8 years older CDP-220r, so I got rid of the S150. Still looking for a Roland.
So I just bought one of these CDP-S100's as an upgrade to an older CDP-220R, and there's something about the sound in the CDP-S100 that I'm super distracted by- my best guess is an intentional simulated hammer noise or something but it literally sounds like someone doing some construction nailing a few houses down, especially noticeable around the C5 area. It makes the piano nearly unplayable when using headphones when that noise is clearly isolated from that actually caused by the physical keys. This noise is poorly matched to how hard I press on the keys, playing softly and this dreadful noise isn't turned down enough. When I play loudly, it might as well be as if it was layered with a second voice of tom drums. Is this normal? Is it a 'feature'? Am I just too trained to not hear such things from my previous Casio that didn't have it? I don't think I can turn it off. I love basically everything else about this piano and this noise may just overrule every good thing.
Could someone please tell me if this piano has built in rhythm accompaniment? Like you change the chords on the left side and play the melody on the right side kinda thing. Thanks a lot.
You should really take a look at Casio's website for stuff like that. www.casio.com/products/electronic-musical-instruments/stage-pianos/cdp-s100 It doesn't, it only has a metronome. You would need to check the CDP-S350 instead.
@@ahojahojish roland not offer a good piano hammer action less than 10 kg and not batteries AA support ... this is better to transport ... if you need better sound just from a speaker to connect on it and you can add reverb/ chorus ecc or a small mixer ... or is something with batteries AA supported better than this ?
Tough one BayRay, think the FP30 edges it with the app functionality but then the casio has the battery power which really couod be a deal breaker for some peeps. Hope it goes well mate Xx
ES110 all day long if you care at all about sound quality. Roland and Yamaha also sound decent in this price range, but this Casio sounds like a playskool toy
sounds like ass. the Kawai ES110 and Roland FP30 have been out for years, and are better in all ways except battery support. but you can use a RAV device to battery power those anyway
Brian Bernstein adding an external power supply is just something else to carry. Being able to carry a piano and a PA onto UK public transport, travel somewhere and perform is a handy ability to have.

Shame man none of the demos of this keyboard seem to know what to do with the Harpsichord or Jazz Organ what a shock gimme a break what are you doing there
Yeah, but the new Yamaha CP does cost almost 10x more for 88. This new Casio is more about a decent 88 keybed for a very low price. As a matter of fact, their CDP line has always been a budget oriented affair
As much as I do like the new Yamaha CP73/88 you know you are not comparing like with like here? What Casio have done is take a superb 88 note hammer action keybed and put it in an affordable package that will work very well for a lot of gigging piano players and also would be great for schools and piano teachers in general. This is a great quality keyboard for this sort of money.

I have this piano the only thing I do not like is the sound a little metallic
You Belong To Me - The Doobie Brothers...
little cheap but still gold, best cdp s 100
Yeah, Jack...keyboard stereo amps/pa video please.
It's gonna have to happen, soon!! Thanks as always Dara X
Roland FP-10 or Casio CDP S100?
Which one should I buy?
nick roland for shure. The sound of Roland is levels above this casio. How can you even compare? Are you deaf?
@@ahojahojish roland not offer a good piano hammer action less than 10 kg and not batteries AA support ... this is better to transport ... if you need better sound just from a speaker to connect on it and you can add reverb/ chorus ecc or a small mixer ... or is something with batteries AA supported better than this ?
@@DAVIDSPIANOSOUND What? why would you want batteries? You just plug it into a wall and you are good to go.
@UCd-_qA753Q4CElL7NMjm-pA wish speakers are you plug in with the casio?
Beats a Steinway any day!
Actually, the Casio Pianos are made by sampling real Steinway... But I do agree, at least they're easier to keep in tune!
You can use as a midi controller and play a Steinway D on ivory II.
Can you connect an iPad to the Casio
YES! out of a USB port!
Dinner Bib! - Classic, nice one Jack....
Not available in USA?
uhoh007 Its now carried exclusively by Musicians Friend and Guitar Center. I just bought one at Musicians Friend for $299!
never watch this on acid.
This or the Roland FP30 or the Yam P125 or the Kawai ES110? Beginner just trying to learn from apps and TH-cam
Tough one BayRay, think the FP30 edges it with the app functionality but then the casio has the battery power which really couod be a deal breaker for some peeps. Hope it goes well mate Xx
ES110 all day long if you care at all about sound quality. Roland and Yamaha also sound decent in this price range, but this Casio sounds like a playskool toy
I thought radioshack closed
sounds like ass. the Kawai ES110 and Roland FP30 have been out for years, and are better in all ways except battery support. but you can use a RAV device to battery power those anyway
Brian Bernstein adding an external power supply is just something else to carry. Being able to carry a piano and a PA onto UK public transport, travel somewhere and perform is a handy ability to have.
@@geoffwebber8272 the RAV is like the size of an iPhone, weighs nothing
Brian Bernstein, not sure a pack of that size would provide sufficient power. The Yamaha P45, which is a close equivalent requires a 12v power supply
@@geoffwebber8272 th-cam.com/video/JsPOPO1iebQ/w-d-xo.html. Okay it's like 2 iPhones. Chuck has a video on doing this with the ES110, I just can't find it, he's got hundreds of videos.
can someone please tell me what song he is playing at 3 mins 50 seconds. It sounds so familiar and its on the tip of my tongue but just cant remember the name and it been bugging me for days now.
Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes
@@p1xelgho5t cheers, finally it was still bugging me.
The only decent thing about it is the audio-in. Appalling E.Pianos.
This Casio s100 or the roland fp30?
Fp30 all the way. If it's too expensive try getting a used fp30
If you have enough money to buy the roland fp-30 BUY IT
This Casio vs a Roland that’s twice the price? Nice comparison. Still yet, the Roland is not twice as good.
.Always the short sample...The sound is bed!!
Pretty short indeed Paulo, well spotted. X
plastic Casio sound
See you at Goodwill in 20 years.
Goodwill Hunting
Sounds rather tinny
This guy is seriously cute 😊
< QUID THIS > !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😩
A very strange way of playing?!
I agree!! X
Shame man none of the demos of this keyboard seem to know what to do with the Harpsichord or Jazz Organ what a shock gimme a break what are you doing there
11:58
Rumbumptuous 🤣
Mmmm Not good Casio!
Horrible sound ! No demo of low and hight keys ? Why ?
That thing sounds horrible
I thought it sounded ok but.,........comparing to new Yamaha CP piano thing, this sounds so crappy
Yeah, but the new Yamaha CP does cost almost 10x more for 88. This new Casio is more about a decent 88 keybed for a very low price. As a matter of fact, their CDP line has always been a budget oriented affair
As much as I do like the new Yamaha CP73/88 you know you are not comparing like with like here? What Casio have done is take a superb 88 note hammer action keybed and put it in an affordable package that will work very well for a lot of gigging piano players and also would be great for schools and piano teachers in general. This is a great quality keyboard for this sort of money.
Why so short sustain, Casio?
And nobody should try at home what Jack does. He's a trained professional playing in a closed area.
The CDP-S100 comes with a sustain pedal but not sure if Jack was using it?
I'd say he is. And holding down the keys for long enough anyway to notice the sustain.
@@clothearednincompoop Well it had plenty of sustain when I heard it at Casio a couple of weeks ago.
Good. And Jack is playing quite softly most of the time here which also affects.
