Casio Privia PX-S7000 Detailed Overview / Review 

Another excellent review, of a fantastic piano. I absolutely love my Privia PX-S7000 and your review really helped me to make an informed choice. Keep up the great work Piano Man Chuck. We appreciate you! :)

Didn't know your channel, instant sub. This is the best review i could find for the casio. Awesome job, man❤

Great review! Thank u!

I was having trouble figuring out some of the functions and thanks to your detailed video, I've got them, now!

Thanks Chuck. As an acoustic and digital pianist for decades (longtime on a Kawai KG2C acoustic, Yamaha P80 then Kawai ES8, with an SV-1 and S90ES along the way) the single most defining test for me every time I encounter a new digital piano is the single note decay. Most piano music isn't about holding a note until it fully decays, but for total expression, if the decay is too fast or loopy, it's a no go for me (no idea how this Casio performs in that regard). Just dropping this comment here as you do great reviews and thought I would pass along a "test" I always appreciate hearing - full decay to silence. Thank you for your informative reviews and positive spirit.

Thanks for the review, the latest Privia models are amazing additions!

Best review of this keyboard yet, by far!!!! 🌟

Very nice review, thinkIm going to get this in the yellow 🙂

I have been waiting for your review!!!

Casio pianos are simply gorgeous.

Great review Chuck, I hope all is well. Like you elegantly stated, it is hard to comprehend a "high end" Casio. But it looks and sounds great! And with all of the bells and whistles maybe it play itself :) Thanks again.

Love your detailed reviews!. How would you compare the action on these to the tp400w in the Numa X GT?

What a vid! A stroll down memory lane-:) Starts at about 5:00 with my favorite "Forgotten" and I agree the Homberg sound is beautiful! A fond memory was "King of The Road" which I saw coming almost immediately when you started. I was a teenager (little Italy Bronx NY) sitting in the most famous Pizzeria in NYC when that song came on. I fell in love with that song immediately. So much so that I even remember what I was eating when I first heard it!( I actually have a picture with Dion standing in front of it way back then) and I hung out with his whole family. To make a long story short I was with his cousin when the news of the plane crash that killed Holly, Bopper and Valens came over 55 AM radio and she said "Oh my God, Dion is on that plane", True story, he didn't have the $37 to get on the plane(you can see him talk about it on RU-vid), but he doesn't tell you the reason he didn't have the $37 ( But I know) . She ran home but Dion already called his mom and dad to tell them he was safe (but freezing in Iowa). I recognize 30:00 but don't remember the name of that tune, following sounded like Mr. Tambourine man? Of course the Wagner tune from Lohengrin which we all know as "Here Comes The Bride" ( a favorite of divorce lawyers)-:) Procol Harum intro to WSOP. I think they had a Farfisa or Hammond organ for that one. Actually the intro done in Sarah Brightman's version is awesome but that's where it ends with her version. No doubt that A.L. Weber had something to do with that intro. So much more in that vid I could mention BUT I don't want to take up the whole page ( and I'm probably boring people to death) 🙂 This is by far your best Vid although the one with all the variations of "Forgotten" is very close. 2 paws up! Thanks so much Chuck! Stay well my friend!

Thanks for an A+ review Chuck as always. Which keyboard did you get for gigs at the end? the Casio 6000, the Numa X /GT 88 or something else entirely? The keyboard sounds not too shabby! I wonder how reliable is the touch interface though as a heavy duty keyboard.. I'd wager real buttons/switches would be be nicer to navigate and also last for many years..

Love the review! I'm curious to know if it's easy to play a glissando on these keys? I was really leaning towards the PXS1100 or 3100, but after trying them instore I wasn't entirely sold - playing a glissando was clunky, hard, and loud. I would absolutlely love to save up and get one of these in Harmonious Mustard, but not being able to easily glide around on the keys would be a dealbreaker for me.

good to see Chuck... a video just uploaded an hour ago!

Thanks!

I like all three patches. It would be a very refreshing change to have that Bechstein patch. It's so unlike all the patches offered elsewhere. Casio has performed a hat-trick on this piano. Yamaha and Kawai must be feeling the heat. This is still not a fully fledged stage piano. I wonder whether Casio will build one of them? Thanks for another great video Chuck.

Could i also use this as a midi controller for a DAW ?

I’d be worried for live use on a sweaty summer night would those touch buttons work ok?

Thanks Chuck. How did you have the piano mic’d up in this video?

Great video! I appreciate your info. I wonder how the 5000, 6000, or 7000 compare with the new Kawai es120. 🤔🙂

Nice review. I want to record my playing for personal critique and improvement. Can the S7000 record and playback a 10 minute, intermediate level, unlayered song, in its entirety? If so, when I want to record a second song will I need to backup (copy to flash drive) the first song to prevent it from being overwritten?

That was a comprehensive video! How is the wooden action of Casio in comparison to the wooden action of Fatar? Both px-s6000 and Numa X GT are in my class range, but the features of Numa X are superior in my opinion.

You think this competes with a CLP 735? I like that it does a lot more than just play good piano. But I’m mostly interested in simple piano, it’s just sometimes I like to be creative with other things. Does the px7000 come close to piano quality to a clavinova?

Does it have Hex Layers?

Can you please play some of the electric pianos? Those are my specialty and once again, the PX-560 did not satisfy me. If you had to choose between a Dexibell product and this S7000, which do you feel has the most realistic EP sounds? I'm especially picky about my Wurlitzer sounds, then my Fender Rhodes pianos (including Dyno-My-Piano, a killer modification done by a shop in San Francisco, CA). Thanks!

I plan on getting the px-s7000 but I heard previous models had weighting issues with the black and white keys. Is it still the case for this piano that the black keys are much lighter than the white ones? And is the short pivot point a major problem?

Does it have better action than the PX-560? And I hope it has much better pianos than the PX-560. I was disappointed in the short sustain on the 560 pianos. For the price you quote, this new one better be way better (I got my PX-560M for just over $1k).

Good review, I wish you would comment on your impression of the keybed mechanical noise level.

Is it heavy?

Very good review. I have a question. How’s the action response of this piano compared to the Kawai MP11SE & VPC1. I am really impressed with this 2 action. This Casio sounds amazing specially the Hamburg piano sample but only question is the action and the built quality. MP11SE & VPC1 is built like a tank and already successful in the market. Actually I am waiting for the MP11SE but there’s no news after waiting so long. This and Numa is good substitute for me & Its actually a very over priced. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you 🙏

sir is it same key action that is in casio px 870 ?

13:55 oh... is it due to the paranoid copyright claim engines? I see so many play piano cover for the whole songs (such as Spirited Away's Alway with Me) and it is all fine...

Does it also run on power (not batteries)?

You metion the prices as if they're something rare. There are tons of other equally or even much higher costing dicital pianos, up to 2-3 the same price, from Casio, Roland,Yamaha, and others. They're expensive compared to entry level digital pianos, from Yamaha CVP-809 at $14,000. CSP 295 is $9000, Kawai CA901 is $6.5K, Dexibell VIVO S10 is $5000, Kawai MP11SE is $4200, Kurwzeil Forte 7 is $4000, and so on
