I posted a comment about the PHA-50 action a few minutes ago, but it is deleted now, probably because I included a link to the Roland website, and I think RU-vid automatically deletes comments with links. It was about 9:13, regarding the comment that the PHA action has a wood core key... it really doesn't. The PHA-50 is a plastic action in the middle with wood sides, just like the Casio. Roland has a video where they show this, but I can't include it here or the comment will be deleted. But it can be found in the Roland RD2000 model in the official Roland website.
Had my 7000 for almost a month and I love it, tried clavinovas at a Yamaha dealer and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, in fact I feel like I got more for my money with the 7000. And also, I know most people like the Hamburg but I just love the Berlin, it’s a very unique tone with a lot of character. I connect with it more
Thanks for sharing that Joseph. And yes, the Berlin piano sample is wonderful! I'll most likely be keeping the 7000 for myself (rather than the 6000) because of the Berlin piano sample!
Having watched countless video reviews of digital pianos for the past couple of months I can safely say your videos are the most in depth and informative ones out there, bar none. Thank you!
I think we really are spoilt. Both instruments sound beautiful, and i think most people would be happy with either. Listening on my phone (not ideal) i (just ) preferred the casio sound. The casio just sounded fuller and more complete. But the Roland was very nice.
Studiologic Numa X Piano GT is in the "stage piano" category, not in the "portable piano" category like these two are (Numa does not have built-in amp/speakers). As to how I compare them outside of any specific videos, please refer to ru-vid.comabout
I wrote a whole long story Chuck but I must have not pressed the send button! Anyway, great vid as usual, great opening as usual! "Imagine" sounded beautiful but you know "Forgotten " is addictive. That vid was a lot of work on your part and appreciated. I always think about buying another keyboard but I'm not getting better and only play by ear and what would I do with all the features I'll never use? Thanks again for your hard work!
Man I hate when that happens. Sometimes I'll type out a lengthy comment in Word, then copy/paste it to wherever I'm posting it (ie: RU-vid, a forum, etc)... that way it won't be forever lost if I forget to submit it or if something else goes wrong. Nah, you don't really need another keyboard unless your current one no longer serves your purpose. Some people however, always seem to need the latest & greatest, even if they're not making a living playing music.
@@PianoManChuck Yup. I agree. I don’t need it although a new toy is always tempting. I was telling you ( after you told me about how acoustic pianos change tone) that the last acoustic piano I played was the piano that Marvin Hamlisch learned on If you see old pics of him you’ll see it. His dad was my accordion teacher and I would also play on that piano. It was Marvin that tested me for pitch. So that and $2.00 will get me on a bus ( maybe )🤣👍🙏
I have a suggestion for a 'new toy' for you which I think you'd really enjoy. Its PianoTeq which is virtual piano software based on piano modeling, not sampling. Actually, its so good that they're one of the rare few that actually got the endorsement of Steinway & Sons for the excellent job they did of reproducing Steinway pianos via mathematical modeling. Download a free evaluation version (well worth the download) to check it out with. Even has that age / condition adjustment I mentioned in a previous comment. Get your free eval copy at www.modartt.com/ and use your current keyboard as a controller.
Is the volume the same? I love your videos and evaluations but I think Casio seems like it receives a bit more publicity. It could be they are making a better keyboard. Prove this! I like my Yamaha p515.
Casio IS getting a lot more attention just about everywhere with the PX-S7000 / PX-S6000 keyboards because they truly are unique. But don't just take the word of reviewers & influencers... this is something you should definitely check out at your local retailer, then you'll understand what all the hype is about. BTW: Rolling Stone Magazine just rated the PX-S7000 as one of their "Essential List Best Products"! Check it out at www.rollingstone.com/product-recommendations/product-recommendations-pictures/best-products-2022-tech-audio-outdoors-grooming-1234613644/ (scroll down to the PX-S7000).
I have a Roland Juno ds-88 and I have to say with my headphones, it’s sound phenomenal. But I want a bit better action so considering the fp-90x or other premium dp
The Roland has a warmer sound in front of you vs what you hear on this RU-vid compressed sound by the way. I have head mine for 6 months and I just love it. The action is wonderful
Excuse me Chuck a question on which there is a bit of confusion, the three premium piano sounds that the pxs 7000 has, does the pxs 6000 also have? Congratulations and thank you for your comprehensive reviews. Excuse my english, i used google translate :) Thank you
The PX-S7000 has the 3 premium piano samples (Hamburg, NY, Berlin). The PX-S6000 and PX-S5000 only has the Hamburg premium piano samples. I've put together a more detailed video covering the differences between the PX-S7000 and PX-S6000 at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GUrHlVpwp-A.html
it was as I imagined, ok thanks a lot for the clarification, I will calmly watch the video of the differences of the two, thanks again, really, bye Max.
Hi Chuck, thanks a lot for sharing this great comparison video. My little son (8 years) is learning piano since 2 years and now we are in need of a digital piano with 3 pedals. He is pretty much hooked on playing piano so i don´t want to buy any cheap entry level piano but rather invest in a really good instrument that he can use for years. I am a musician myself and i found that most of the time the more expensive instruments are more expensive for a reason and just make more fun to play than the entry level ones. i thought it would be good to have a piano that is detachable from the stand in case he needs to play somewhere else, has a small form factor, looks cool and has a bunch of different sounds (he`s tears for fears fan so he`ll probably would also like to play some different sounds once in a while ).... However i have no idea about pianos and don´t know if the key action of the PX7000 is ok or close enough to a real piano (he plays on real one in music school). Do you believe that the PX S7000 is a good and future proof choice for my youngster? I would be greatful for your point of view on this.
@@PianoManChuck i actually already did. He didnt like the keys. He said they are too light to press down compared to a yamaha s54 that he also tried. Is the key action really too light on the casio? I cant judge as i have no experience. i thought for a instrument at that price point the keys would be really good and in a way that piano players like them.
Casio has 5 levels of key touch. Next time make sure you set it to the heavy+ level (have the sales person assist you). There's also quite a few people that don't like the Yamaha because the key action is heavier than other brands. Everyone is different.
