Great you cover a lot of countries. Most TH-camrs think the world has only 2 areas, US and UK.
What happened to the video you made about coronavirus?
P45 or P121 or P125??
Please give advice to make a decision for first piano
Hie, i was kindly asking if Flavian S-one 61 keys is a good keyboard to buy?

"5:32" -- Alesis
"8:37" -- Roland Go:Piano 88
"11:34" -- Korg B2N
"16:38" -- Casio CDP-240
"19:57" -- Yamaha P45 / P71 (basically the same, so, per Jeremy See, prefer the P71)
"23:11" -- Roland FP-10 (approx. $499)
what a legend
Thanks man 👍🏽
We need someone like you
Thanks!
Kawai es110??
Every piano you introduced feels like the one ,until you mention the disadvantages 🤣
That's why I am a REAL reviewer. Not like those music shop TH-cam videos.
Facts hahahaha
@@JeremySee honestly I've been binging your beginner videos on which one to get. Only thing I'm looking for now is what some of these things mean over all
I’m torn idk which one to pick 😐🥺
@@JeremySee is there a digital piano that does everything thats under 300 dollars? Also what is the best digital piano you have reviewed under 300 dollars? Sorry if I'm asking to many questions I see a lot of people asking questions.
I went with the pink grand piano from Fisher Price. I see now that I was duped but that built in microphone seemed so awesome when the salesman was pitching it to me.
At least you are having fun!
lol
😂😂😂
Had me there 😆
Hahah
me: hey!! this looks like a great piano!!
Jeremy see: So what I don't like about this piano...
I know how you feel...
There's an old joke about the man who spent his whole life looking for the perfect woman. When he found her it didn't work out, because she was looking for the perfect man....
So, yeah. None are perfect, but then, the players aren't perfect either. Don't waste time. Jump in.
Unlike personal relationships, if it doesn't work out, or you outgrow it, you can move on by placing an add on Craigs List....
@@jfan4reva Wait, it doesn't work for persons too? 🤔😁
jfan4reva definitely not similar enough to refer the joke. As both parties in the joke are able to think independently and the keyboard is just an affordable prize
@@jfan4reva honestly this is some pretty sound advice! Thanks!
Computers "budget": 350-600
Pianos "Budget": 500-700
this is such a great video!! im trying to look for a piano keyboard just to entertain myself and this video is a great help!
thank you for mentioning all the pros and cons and they're all budget friendly
Incredibly detailed and helpful, even two years later. Thank you!
Such a great video, packed with good information. To the point, and well delivered. I like how you started with the criteria first, so I didn't have to wait until the video was over to determine whether this list was relevant to me. Thank you so much!
yo just ran into your channel but the layout of your videos are great. straight forward asl
This is without a doubt the best video on TH-cam covering the beginner piano keyboard options. Thank you so much.
You've separated them into two groups and covered their advantages, resale value, and disadvantages in a clear, informative but consise way. Utterly superb content. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words.
Sir, you know how to make review. It's a great video, quite understandable for beginners. Also, it is quite reliable with your comments.
Great video! You were really thorough with all your pros and cons, and you helped me slim down a list of possible keyboards I'd like to get. Thanks!
My wallet while watching the requirements: oh Neptune...
yolo it man
Facts 😂
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE
Jeremy, thank you very much for this video. I will be sharing it with my new music students, and it will save a lot of time communicating.
Thanks for sharing Anjie. 👌
my experience being teacher says to me that the students won't see the video and still you will have to communicate them hahahah
Can we just appreciate that he took the time to make all the parts for us easy to see?
Nice job, Jeremy, as always. Thanks.
This is a very helpful video. TBH at first I looked at the length but once you started talking your delivery just made me become patient. Great job!
Thank you for your kind words, buddy.
Thank you so much for this review!! When I was younger I played keyboard/piano but lost interest at some point. Now, some 15 years later, I wanted to start over again and I struggled a bit with finding the right instrument. Out of all the videos I've watched yours has been the most helpful one. You have a great way of presenting and I really appreciate your honesty throughout the video.
In the end I now decided to go with the Roland FP-10 and was even able to find a well-priced bundle offer. It'll probably take another few weeks until it arrives here but I'm already so excited to start playing on it.
Thanks again & lots of love from Germany
Jules Shkr How is it?
Jules Shkr
Did it come yet?
Liking it so far?
Thanks so much for being so informative! Great video🙂
I'm thinking of buying a digital piano for my children to learn.
I'm glad that I found this helpful and informative video. Thank you, Jerry!
This video is a dream crusher for me knowing that I dont even have the money to even buy one, though its very imformative and I have learned a lot starting from those requirements before buying. I cant help it but to save money until i could buy one. Thank you for the vid!
My Casio CDP-S100 arrived the other day on the mail and I’m so happy with the purchase. Thank you for helping!
Have fun!
Awesome reviews! Incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much for breaking this down and providing soo much information. I was looking at a few of these and I was thinking about the Korg.
did u buy it and are u satisfied?
I think MIDI is also very important - especially for additional lessons with an iPad, etc
Your beginner piano is already dream piano for me.
Very informative and extremely helpful. Thank you Sir 🙏
Thank You! Really helpful to tell us what is good and bad about each one.
I was slightly confused when some of the links didn't lead to the same pianos in the review, but I was able to use the information here to inform my decision and am glad that the links still went to comparable pianos. Thank you very much for doing these reviews! Super excited to have a piano at my new house that'll remind me of the one at my Parents whilst actually being 'easily' portable :)
Have fun!
I went with the FP-10 about a year ago after playing the P125 and Privia. Action, weighting, and feeling of the keys was far superior (the others felt like plastic toys compared to the FP-10) and I’ve never once had a second thought about buying it. I wish it had a better Wurlitzer sound built in but that’s its only shortfall in my mind (besides the cheap included sustain pedal which you mentioned).
Thank you so much, this was massively helpful!
A wonderful review video! Thanks for the effort! Very helpful indeed.
Great insights. Wish the video description had timestamps. Cheers.
There are so many it's tough to decide
I'm considering buying a digital piano for beginners. You explain so well, unbiased opinions. It's making me easier to consider my best choice.
Out of all your considerations, so far the Roland fits well for my preference. Thank you for your advice.
Loved your reviews Jeremy! Thanks!
Thanks buddy.
Excellent as usual! 👍
In a testament for Jeremy's eloquence, with each piano he presented I was prone to buy it , even with the shortcomings. I am glad Jeremy finished the list at $499! LOL
thank you for your kind words, my friend.
I really want to get into piano. I played guitar for around 10 years now and want to check out another instrument. Thanks for the guide and wish me luck learning the piano😁
Good luck :)
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful. Appreciate your efforts in posting this video
Thank you for your video. I frequently get asked "whats a good starter piano for me/my kid/etc". I now can just send them this link.
Thank you so much Mr. Jeremy. =)
Korg XE-20. Simply AMAZING! Not enough videos out there yet to check it out, but... Trust me if you want. It's amazing!
Wowww thank you for going over pros and cons and a very detail breakdown of features and cost :D
I'm happy to help.
Thank you for the video! Exactly what I was looking for :)
I'm happy to help. 🤝
Thank you for this video, I was able to afford the first piano (Alesis Recital), initially, I was going to buy Casiotone.
I did receive it in 25 th of July, and I still play on it as a beginner almost every day.
Yo me compré hace como 1 año un Roland FP-30.
Me di cuenta que salía mucho más barato comprarlo en Estados Unidos o en europa que en México y justo tuve una oportunidad de oro porque mi padre en un viaje por su trabajo fue a España, entonces le dije que pasara a ver en alguna tienda musical los pianos y efectivamente estaba mucho más barato (recuerdo que en México estaba como en 20'000 y a el costo como 12'000 ya haciendo el cambio de euros a pesos)
Perdón padre por hacerte cargar un piano digital por todo el aeropuerto de regreso.
Tenía miedo de que le fueran a decir algo por exceso de peso o de volumen pero al parecer no le dijeron nada y hasta lo pusieron en algún lugar especial para cosas frágiles.
Gracias a esa oportunidad hoy tengo mi Roland FP-30 que me salió súper barato, cómo a la mitad de precio de lo que decía el vídeo de hecho.
Thanks so much Jeremy!!
Thank you really needed it, getting one in 2 days
Only requirement I disagree with is the built in metronome. Almost everyone has a smart phone and the smartphone metronome apps have many more features than the built in metronomes. Other than that, your critiques of these inexpensive pianos is extremely comprehensive. I'm learning about instruments I didn't know anything about. The cons about each instrument is extremely valuable to know.
Usually it's made a requirement due to the fact that its convenience will benefit those who have it as theyll be more compelled to use it
Thank you Jeremy!! I think the FP10 is worth the price and I loved the sound when I tried it last year (can't test it again because covid)--so that's what I'm going to get!!
Good luck finding one available! 😬 After my recommendation, it's pretty much out of stock everywhere for the last few months. Have fun!
@@JeremySee omg you're right I just looked it up haha--I'm in California so I was checking Sweetwater and they have both the Roland FP10 and Yamaha P45 on back order! It's okay no rush for me, but it's good to see that you're guiding new players towards very good instruments. It's very important and will make learning enjoyable so thank you again !!
Great review!
This was really helpful. Thank you.
Thanks pal this helps a lot
Those videos are important. It took me buying 3 keyboards and selling two of them after using them for only 3-6 month until I finally bought the one I really liked, the Roland RD2000. Expensive but not compared to a real piano. I really needed the best possible and fun to play keybed and enough sounds implemented. Also I needed lots of physical controls as I hate to dive into menus to change a layer or split. As a piano player I had no clue about digital keyboards, workstations, arrangers and the differences. Had to learn the hard way. Love your videos although they mostly cover the cheaper range but that's ok.
Such useful advice, helped me lots. Keep up the good work :)
I'm happy to be of service.
The moment you said "their" I knew you were Singaporean, cool to see another Singaporean on here. Loved the video as well, really really helpful
Thank you so much for this video! I just got my FP-10 for only 400 Euros and it's amazing. Makes me really excited to learn
Hi , where did you get it at that price?
Nice video! Do you think the Thomann Sp 5600 can be also as good as the ones you recommened? Because I was thinking about buying it due to the price and the nice specifications, but I don't know if it achieves all 8 requirements you listed.
Ty!
Your videos are REALLY good!
Really thank you for this amazing tutorial I really enjoyed and learn allot thanks .
You're very welcome!
The pink piano in the beginning xD lmao
Finally im going to buy roland fp30 . Thank you bro for enlightening us.
Fantastic video. This helped a lot
I'm happy to help.
I got a P71today ridiculously cheap because "4 keys broken". If so repair is not major. It wasn't. A few things came loose and within an hour, perfect! WOWIE!! Sounds amazing, or at least it will after following your lessons. Thx Jeremy
I think it's brilliant that Korg includes a fullsize single pedal in its B2 series, even if the pedal itself doesn't support half pedalling. I use half pedalling with a proper wooden stand and pedal board (this for my Yamaha) but I find half-pedalling with a single (portable) pedal impossible. So is it worth doing that upgrade just for a single pedal to get half pedalling? I don't think so, particularly not when we're only talking about beginner pianos.
I love my P125.
I may not play piano very well, but it still sounds very nice, so it's very motivating.
I agree with you. I've bought it 4 mouths ago and I Love my digital piano p125 yamaha
@@canadiansoul9401 likewise !!!! I'm a classically-trained pianist and find the P125 can be set up to be a great practice instrument. I set the touch to heavy and turn the volume slightly lower than an acoustic piano - that way I can play more firmly and it helps develop my finger strength so that when I go to the acoustic grand it actually feels easier to play! :-) The other voices and features are excellent quality as well (I'm also an organist and can practice that as well) -
Great info!
Thank you for the best review for beginners!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jeremy for this great review! What affordable digital piano would you recommend that DOES include 1/4" stereo outputs? I can play okay currently and am confident that I will progress quickly, and want something I will not outgrow quickly and can use onstage for gigs. Best regards, Seán
Thanks a lot for the information, I just picked up the Roland FP-10 because of your review.
what a PRO!!! I love the video! thank you so much!
Thanks buddy!
Jeremy See yep, just got the Roland Go 88, trying to figure out how the Bluetooth can be used 😂 so far attaching my laptop makes it so the laptop’s audio comes out of the piano so how can I use this? 🤷🏻♂️
Jeremy - writing to you from Canada. After having purchased a Roland FP-10 recently, I was happy you find your independent review. I’m certain I’ll not outgrow this instrument for some time, and I expect to upgrade to another Roland in a few years. Continued success to you.
Thank you for your kind words, Wayne. Have fun!♥️
Very very very important: Line out. So you can play at home or at Manchester United Stadium :)
Thank you for the advice. I am a guitarist and I want to buy a piano for my little daughter and have no idea which one to choose. Thanks to your video now I have a better understanding.
I recommend CDP S100 or FP-10 for those focusing on advanced jazz technique, especially techniques popularized by pianists like McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Bud Powell and Bill Evans
Thank you for the info,
I started playing piano on my girlfriends Yamaha P45 before buying an incredible Kawaii for almost 3 times the price, I probably spend a third of my practice time on the P45 and i am very happy to play it, the piano sounds are decent but the speakers don't do the bass notes justice and you really can't play gently, the keys are pretty heavy but as a result very forgiving for a beginner.
Love your videos man,
I'm in the market for getting a piano and was originally going for the Casio CDP-S350, where would it fall into this list and which is better in comparison with the Roland FP-10?
I had a FP-10 and I actually returned it to the shop :/
@@3xperiment8 how come?
@@3xperiment8 why?
@@3xperiment8 can't just say that and dip
@@JuanPablo-gr5pp For me personally, the FP-10 had noisy keys straight out of the box. 3 days later they became super loud, and the flat E4 got completely stuck. Needless to say, I had to return it.
Tu video es de gran ayuda !! ; contiene todo lo que yo realice en una larga busqueda y por partes; información super completa, muy útil para los que vamos comenzando... muchas gracias❤
Great stuff
Thank you after much research I agree with you and to that I will put off purchase till next year 2021 Namm. I will use my 49 keyboard till then :-) thank you Jeremy
hey jeremy can you make a list of the best professional piano that we can use for a lifetime? the list should not be bound to the price
thank you!!!
I agree, just wrote a comment here a few moments ago. I bought a Roland RD2000 after having bought two other keyboards before that because of quite a lot of bad recommendations by sellers and love it. Finally a good one. So tips for the more expensive ones are highly appreciated.
New features and price adjustments will happen over a lifetime.
I don't usually comment on TH-cam videos, but this has been incredibly helpful. Thank you for creating this video!
Thanks!
I only kinda was dabbling about picking up piano, but looking at that Roaland ivory-esq keys got me going ooooo...
For beginners who really want to practice their fingers and basic skills, personally, I think the key actions are the most important thing to consider at first.
Therefore, I strongly don't recommend the digital pianos that don't have the escapement mechanism in their key actions. Because you have to ensure that the action is close enough to an acoustic piano so you won't be confused when you switch between them.
Pianos like Yamaha P-45/105/115/125, which uses GHS action, have the simplest action and sensor inside them. They're playable, but also nothing close to the real piano actions. When you practice some skillful pieces like Chopin's or Debussy's, their poor actions and sensors will hold you back. And please, check for weight balance between the black and white key. Casio PX-S1000 and S3000 does really bad at this (black keys are lighter than the white keys).
I'm using Roland's FP-30, which I think is a great choice for beginners. If too expensive, FP-10 also will do. They're using PHA-4 Standard action that comes with the escapement, which is not perfect (keys feel too heavy when playing some fast pieces), but good enough for the entry-level. On Yamaha's side, you can see how expensive the pianos are that come with GH3X or NWX actions. GH3 action is good, but still feels "wrong" when I'm playing the CLP-635.
I heard that some Nord and Kawai's digital pianos also have decent actions, but I have never tried them before so I'm not making any comments.
- I've also found that it's important to get the best (most suitable) combination of touch sensitivity setting and volume level as different combinations give different "actions" . For example (I have the P125): setting the touch sensitivity to soft gives a brighter sound which makes the action feel "lighter" - I'm getting more sound for my effort; whereas setting it to heavy gives a more mellow sound - I have to play harder to get the same sound. And of course the volume level setting affects that as well. On the soft setting it feels more like I'm playing a Yamaha grand and requires mus less effort, whereas with the heavy setting and the volume just slightly lowered the touch-to-response feels more like a heavier Steinway.
Hey Jeremy! I’ve been eyeing a digital piano that seems to meet all the marks according to the few existing reviews I’ve seen (Except the headphones, however that doesn’t concern me as much). I’m hesitant because this piano is brandless or at least by a small brand. Should I be concerned about the branding despite it meeting 7/8 of your requirements? Thanks and great job on the video!
Was it the one on Amazon? With the seat and full table
I also wanna know which one was it
Subscribed to you Teacher Jeremy! I am going to start my journey during this pandemic. I have all the time! I have candle-like fingers and didn’t do well with guitars. I am trying my luck in a piano (which is my first option ever since I was a kid). It seems so far when I was a child but now that I’m an adult and in my 20s, I am determined to start working in making my dreams in music come true!
Have fun making music!
Brilliant! just what I needed to know!
How does the CDP-S100 compare to these?
Me: i think......
My wallet:ohhhhh no no no,
Thanks for this
Just recently caught your channel while looking at digital pianos. You're incredibly talented, fun to watch, and extremely knowledgeable! I'm 65 years young. Been playing guitar for about 40 years. I've bulit my own recording set up in my home. Music is a serious hobby of mine, but still a hobby. Thinking about adding a keyboard/digital piano to my set up because I love the instrument and its many sounds. I'm in between novice and intermediate as far as my skills on the piano are concerned. You have been a wealth of information. For my needs, there's a lot of great choices in the $700.00 and under range. Your videos have offered some great choices as well. I'm looking closely at the Studiologic Numa Compact 2 or the 2X. I realy like the fact that you don't have to menu dive to get to everything this product has. The sounds are just what i'm looking for and the prices for each are quite reasonable for what you get. Any thoughts? I would value your opinion! Thanks!!
Thank you for your kind words, Don. I would love to get my hands on a Numa Compact 2X, but unfortunately, StudioLogic isn't well distributed outside of the USA.
@@JeremySee Wow... Thanks for the quick reply. I plan to purchase before Christmas. I'll keep you posted. Untill then, I'll keep watching your great videos!
Thanks again for your vidios and opinions! I just ordered the StudioLogic Numa Compact 2X. It will arrive this Friday and I will spend the weekend getting acquainted with it!
Hi, I've been thinking to buy the Casio CT-S300, do you recommend it for beginners? I can't afford anything more expensive than that.
I would appreciate the help.
th-cam.com/video/n04xkswmMFo/w-d-xo.html
All things considered, is the Yamaha P-125 a better choice than the Roland FP-10?
I 'm between the two, and I 'll stick to what I 'll buy for a long time.
Anyone with experience on both of these care to share an opinion?
I'm a classically-trained pianist and find the P125 can be set up to be a great practice instrument. I set the touch to heavy and turn the volume slightly lower than an acoustic piano - that way I can play more firmly and it helps develop my finger strength so that when I go to the acoustic grand it actually feels easier to play! :-) The other voices and features are excellent quality as well (I'm also an organist and can practice that as well) -
Thank you so much Jeremy I have atleast learnt something for today and I will keep on following your lessons until I become the expat
Rock on!
Wow thank you for your review video. I literally looked thru 10 other videos and they only had video samples from the piano companies with # ranking. Thank you for voicing an actual opinion. I’m gonna buy from your list!
Check out the updated video th-cam.com/video/CrNnXcfcFQM/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremySee thank you! I called Guitar Center looking for the Roland FP10 but they said it was discontinued... :/
it isn't discontinued. it is just super out-of-stpck. you can pre-order with the links in my updated video.
@@JeremySee that Yamaha P-45 is tempting! I just want a real feel of an acoustic piano 🎹
Sir, is Kawai es 110 a good digital piano to start with?
I will smash the like button with consent.
I have no experience of the pianos mentioned in the video. But I have a Kawai ES110 since 7 months and I love it!
