Detailed and useful comparison video. I was planning for Auris YDP164 or the CLP 725 due to budget reasons, but CLP 735 seems better suited for the long run. Design and size wise, I prefer the YDP S54 though. Please keep on posting such videos, you have a real love for the trade and the piano. Too bad I'm not located in the UK, would drop by the shop.
good job explaining about these pianos.I have no intention on spending the 735 asking price ,and 725 you made it very clear is a piano where Yamaha deliberately cut down several useful features to steer you to the. 735.Well actually they managed to send me to a different brand.
I've got the NP 12 while I am learning, but the 735 has given me the incentive to improve from ABRSM level one to level 8 and reward myself with the 735.
According to this review, any acoustic piano has zero value and the fun factor is minimal. I returned P-515 mostly because I only need two piano sounds, USB MIDI to my computer and a good piano action. Everything else has zero value for me. I will choose CLP-725 over CLP-735 without any doubt. I do not need features, I will not even check once.
Many reviews get caught up with auxiliary features like USB recording, Bluetooth etc. But there are people who just want a good action digital piano to learn or play in a quiet environment. To them these extra features are just money wasted.

I think you persuaded me to buy a 735 instead of a 725, since there seems to one in my dining room now. It sounded well worth the extra £300. I hadn’t planned to go that far over budget but I could just about manage it and it sounded like my Clavinova would repay me every time I play it for hopefully decades! I love it. Thank you. Sorry I didn’t buy it from you guys!🎹😍

My husband and I are keen pianists and we both love the ambience that the cathedral reverb effect gives, however in recent times we really prefer to carry our pianos off to our local cathedral in Durham just to get that "Real Deal Feel" - yes, lugging a Steinway Grand through the streets of Durham everyday is a bit tedious, but the sound is amazing.
This is a great comparison. I would like to add that getting MIDI data from the 725 is not that big of a deal. For $99 or so, you could buy an Arturia MK-3 MIDI controller or similar, which will come with a demo DAW and a piano VST. I got the Model-D UVI software for free, and the sounds that come out of that will beat almost all digital piano samples from around this price range. Don't let that be a hindrance to you related to saving the $800 between these two. It won't be for me.
I am a bit confused by this video. As I understand it you are able to widen the functionality of the 725 quite close to the basic funcionality of the 735 by using the accompanying "Smart Pianist" App. Or am I missing something?
@@001bristol100 je vois que tu es fr.. je penche pour le 735 pour les connexions midi ... Par contre pour avoir pu entendre le 725 la sonorité est genial. Je vais attendre le mois prochain en espérant toujours le trouver en stock
@@heretwix76 C'est l'une des raisons pour laquelle j'ai pris le 725.. Les délais sont excessivement longs. Il y a même certains modèle qui sont en arrêt de production jusque 2022. J'ai préféré tabler sur le 725 et l'avoir, plutôt que d'attendre 4, 6 mois, 1 an. Je te conseille le site Dorélami sur Nantes (ils livrent ailleurs, je ne suis pas du tout de la région), tu peux les appeler également, ils peuvent te renseigner sur quand ils auront les prochains modèles si eux même sont informés.
Great detailed review of exactly the two models im trying to decide on. The binaural hearing on headphones sounds like a fantastic feature, and you point out its heavily favoured for 735. But yet they both have this, only that the 735 has it for the bosendorfer too not just CFX. Is that a big upgrade over the 725?
Definitly getting the 725. Same (binaural) sound in the headphones; same touch (yeah 6 sens instead of 4 on the 735 lol…). The main differences are recording and pc features, for which I have absolutely no interest. I already have everything I need in terms of pc and recording at home. Just want a great keyboard and 725 is perfect. Review is interesting but a bit biased imo 😉
Came here looking for the difference in features between the two models but the the reviewer turned out to be a master pianist. So I have a question here, is clp735 a good investment for a beginner who knows nothing about piano but wants to learn it.
I'm a beginner and I'm considering the 735 because 1) I'll be happier with the sound and quality over time as I improve and my expectations go up and 2) because the 735 is also a complementary piece of furniture that even if I don't play it I'll be happy to showcase it where it can be seen in the house. I wouldn't be so keen to display a cheap piano on a plastic stand with wires hanging out - it just looks tacky. So, I think for someone who is serious about learning and playing the piano as a lifetime hobby the 735 is absolutely worth it.
As I watched this video it suddenly struck me. hilarious thought of a Monty Python skit. The more he talked about the 725 the more he developed an almost hatred for that model in lieu of the 735. I suddenly burst into laughter envisioning a Monty Python skit where perhaps he would take the 725 out back and smash it with a sledgehammer like a rockstar, then returning inside to give the 735 a big hug. I'm joking of course just a funny thought. Monty Python would have been proud. By the way I recently purchased the 735 and agree with his points 100%.
Lol. I wish now that I'd filmed a scene in the car park where I'm giving the CLP725 a good Basil Fawlty style thrashing with a branch. "This is it, I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing!".
May i ask u some questions? Are u record on usb flash copy to computer ? or u are record by yamaha pianist app ? Or u connect midi to computer and using plugin program ?
I need to know if the CLP-725 is available in Cancun, Mexico or Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I’m an accomplished pianist who doesn’t need crutches to express myself musically. I just need the best digital piano I can find on my budget.
The 735 speakers are a little over an inch larger than the 725, and the amplifiers for the 735 are dual 30w while the 725 is dual 20w. On paper the 735 should be better when it comes to the bass region and also be able to get louder overall. However I'll say in many reviews I've seen, neither of these models speakers will compare to a decent set of external speakers. Probably a big reason is because the internal speakers are, well... Internal. The piano body blocks the sound a bit. But also doesn't "help" the sound resonate the way a real piano body does. The bosendorfer samples on the 735 are also higher quality than the 725. The Yamaha CFX Grand samples are identical in both the 725/735
Hi. Is Grand Touch-S a good action for yamaha's digital pianos? How much difference is between graded Hamer Small (GHS) action and Grand Touch-S ? And which one is more recommended for a beginner piano learner?
Hi, would you say that the CLP 725 and the 735 are beginner friendly? I am a beginner and I will be starting piano lessons and I want to invest in buying a good quality piano. Which piano would you recommend for a beginner out of the two?
That's... literally what I'm trying to figure out right now lol. Being about the same price, I think the CLP-725 is probably a better bet. Though they are very similar, the main 2 reasons (from the whole specifications details on Yamaha's site) that I can find are that the CLP has a 2nd tone sampling, of the Bosendorf Imperial, AND it has "GrandTouch-S™ keyboard: synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, escapement," which the YDP does not. The YDP has "GH3 keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops" which is an advanced GHS system, but presumably not as good as the "GrandTouch." Nevertheless, how it FEELS and sounds for you to play is the most important thing by far (assuming roughly the same price), so go based on that imho ALSO: the 725 has "Virtual Resonance Modeling," which the YDP does not
Great review, thanks ! Can you tell us what is the color/finish name for the 2 models presented on this videos ? The 735 looks like more "grayer" which is very beautiful to me, while the 725 looks more normal dark/black. Is that just because of the lightning of the video ? Too bad the sound recording is not really good we can clearly hear the sound is compressed, the attacks sounds unnatural and the release is flat before decay. I could hear the sound clipping, too. Maybe its because of RU-vid upload... Anyway, that's not a big deal, I was not here to hear how they sound, this video was very useful to know more about the differences between the two models :)
The CLP725 owner's manual says "You can play back audio data on a smart device or a computer with this instrument. You can also record your keyboard performance as audio data to a music production app on a smart device or a computer." Doesn't that mean that audio through USB to HOST is possible? Am I reading it wrong or is there a typo in the video? But the "specs" tab of the CLP725's page seems to say the contrary of the manual..weird
My understanding is, CLP-725 can play and record MIDI audio data via USB to host port. If you want to save your play in mp3/wav format you will need to use one of the headphone outputs in CLP-725.
@@LuenLin just to be pedantic but "midi audio data" isn't really correct to say. Midi contains no audio information, just the performance information. So you will need to use a virtual instrument on your computer/mobile device to take in the midi performance data and generate audio
Should not call this video "Yamaha CLP725 vs CLP735 comparison", call it CLP 725 destruction/implosion. Makes those who bought the "deplorable" CLP725 feel like "i....s" and encourages everyone who has just those few hundred GBP extra in this ever so thriving GB-economy to spend on a CLP735 ... much more fun. Thank you!
Thanks! In theory, yes, but when she gets to that standard she might feel like she's outgrowing it and wants something with more room to express herself. For right now, at aged 5, she'll really suit the Yamaha CLP-735, but if you can stretch to it, have a look at the CLP-745 with its wooden keys. It's well worth looking at our selection of preowned digital pianos too. You might find a real bargain there: www.epianos.co.uk/used-digital-pianos/
What colours are those models? Here I have only come across black, white or rosewood (brown) options. But that 735 looks like more of a grey....that would be awesome for my living room ? Is that only in the UK?
Yes. Assuming you're referring to "USB to Host" which means you plug it in over usb and can record midi in realtime to your computer. It doesn't have midi recording to a usb stick
Nice review, thanks. I am a bit confused about the recording functions of these pianos. You state that the MIDI information sent to the PC will not replicate the piano sounds in the same way as recording via WAV format. Surely the MIDI record will be far superior to any LINE / Headphone out or WAV format as it is stored exactly as played at the time and the only limiting factor would be the quality of the audio set up of the PC? If you have a pretty modern PC, the audio available from the Motherboard should be near perfect and if connected to a suitable external sound device, then there should be excellent results. I have a Roland FP-30X that is hooked up to my PC and via a DAW records via MIDI and when played back through a pair of JBL 710's is pretty earth shaking for home use. If the sound was fed through a decent amp and into some reasonable quality monitor speakers, it should be near perfect representation of the original instrument as MIDI should (correct me if I am wrong here) be a near perfect? Again, correct me if I am wrong here, but the CLP-725 has the USB connection for the PC, surely this is via a built in MIDI interface (which was available on the earlier 125 model that was removed on the 2nd generation) which should allow excellent interface with a DAW running on the PC.
Somebody could answer me about this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P15SidbGdKA.html whats is the exercises name on the start the video by kraft music about a casio ap470, of course that i prefer a clavinova but here in brazilis very expensive so at the point i want know only this to my learning focus tks
Thank you so much. I wasn't sure which one to buy and you explained it so good and detailed, that I decided to buy the 735.. Unfortunately I don't live in UK. Absolutely helpful content, presented by a very pleasant speaker.
