I'm a guy who really cares a lot about sound. I would easily trade the best key action of all for a not so precise one if it had the best sound. So I would go with the Yamaha.
Yamaha! It sounds SO much more open and clear! Boy, I would love to see a comparison between Yamaha and Kawai, as I have a CA49 (replaced with CA401). The key action on my Kawai is absolutely fantastic, which is a very important feature.
I still don't fully get the concept of such E-Pianos. Usually they are overpriced, but stripped down versions of proper stage pianos. They lack controls, connectivity and sounds and what you could avoid spending on good monitors will be spend for silly furniture around the instrument with mediocre speakers (at best).
Stage pianos with similar key action, such as Yamaha CP-88 have similar price. You are paying for key action and sound quality. If you want more high quality sounds you can buy MODX8+ for similar price, but it has worse key action, and no speakers.
@@FirstLast-nr6gf Sure, some top-notch stagepianos might cost slightly more, but you also get the 60-70% of hardware that has been cut off in these furniture pianos. My reference was my RD2000. Its very same action (PHA 50) can be found in digital pianos that cost even 400-500 € more while those are emaciated on every technological level. Above 1200 € most actions are great, even if in some cases there is one more premium action above as the top tier (mostly only differentiated through wood material). Since any 100 € Headphone or monitor is massively better than those built in speakers, I don't see the point in speakers. So looking at those furniture pianos I always can't stop to think "It's a scam for people that aren't that much into gear and thus easily get misled by the wannabe piano look."
Finding myself liking the Roland and the Yamaha. Casio below par on piano sound again for me. Dont care about the modern look. Tone and playability are most important for me. Jack's playing awsome as always. 👍
That's probably the frame rate of the camera that is creating the effect. Most likely, the the technology of the light on the piano is LED and it is operating on a frequency range of 50-60 Hz. On camera (24-30 fps) it appears as if it is blinking because half of the time the LED are not emitting light an the camera is picking that up, although to a human eye that is not perceivable and it would look like the LED strip is always on. Tl;dr: It is likely that if you were to go to see the piano in person, the light strip wouldn't be blinking.
The Casio is a great mix of bass/warmth and clarity. Yamaha is all Treble with a lack of midrange. Roland is just not pleasing to listen to at all, soft treble and muddied mids. I like the sound of the Casio by itself but in a mix it could get lost
Just get a good piano vst and you have everything you need ...(This era of digital pianos are almost absolite because of how good vst"s really are ). Furniture pianos are nice ....if you wont a stadalone piano....
You still need a keyboard to play a vst. Those cheap midi keyboards with hundreds of knobs, sliders, blinking lights and terrible keybeds and actions like Arturia, would not give you the same playing experience. For good vsts you need a powerful and expensive desktop computer with a lot of RAM and disk space. You would also need an audio interface and studio monitors. Not everybody wants to build a home studio to play a piano.
Welcome back Jack!
As he leaves for the USA!
Yamaha is clearly the best sounding.
Roland still can't do a piano, and should be ashamed. Casio piano is dead and lifeless.
I'm a guy who really cares a lot about sound. I would easily trade the best key action of all for a not so precise one if it had the best sound.
So I would go with the Yamaha.
One does not easily beat the Yamaha CLP-series. And in this comparison it also turns out to be the cheapest one. 🎉
Well said G

The Yamaha for the win. Bigtime. As always the best pianos.
Been missing your mug, Jack!
Yamaha wins at piano sound, but Roland's organs and electric sounds are better.
Hey Jack!!! Missed you bro!!!

If the Yamaha is to people's taste, they could get the new P525 which has the same key action and sounds (altho in a slab, not the cabinet as here)
Hooray. He has a new hat
Yamaha everyday of the week
Welcome back, Jack! Nice playing!
Afraid I've never liked the bright, harsh Yamaha sound. Roland is my choice.
why this white white stripe is blinking when playing on Casio ? I can't understand how someone accepted blinking light on quite pricey piano

It's actually feedback for showing dynamics. Helpful in gauging your playing action.
Jack talks about it at 5 min
you can put it off
So glad Jack is back 💜
Yamaha easy win!

You have a poor ear. The Yamaha and Roland have the best sound in all ranges 😂
line-out or speakers? i thought this was all captured from line-out, but on second listen, i now think this was captured by mics (shrug)
Yamaha huge stuff in compare with cassio
I can't decide between Yamaha and Roland bur Casio sounds the worst of the 3.
Best song demo🤔?... Casio!👍🏼
yamaha win
Casio:"nice sound"!

@@FirstLast-nr6gfnot 100% true. Pianoteq runs even on my old iPad.
Nice job, chair! 15:38
Yamaha!
😂🤘🏻
Casio sucks BIG TIME (as usual)
casio sounds best, piano..i wonder how many of you really have played on real pianos. yamaha is way way too bright.
Yawn
Yamaha sounds truly impressive.
Glory to the motherland. 🇯🇵
interesting, i found it the worst pianosound, way too bright
