Hey I'm really new but I'm going to look for starting to learn piano, so I have a question about between Casio PXS 1100 with 1 Pedal and Roland FP 30X with 3 Pedal (used) in the same price, which one is better in a long term? I really like red color form Casio but for performance I'm not sure how it worst if compare to Roland

Hi Stu, thank you for your detailed reviews!brI’m deciding between the Roland FP-60X (with three pedals and a cabinet) and the Kawai KDP120 for my 6-year-old daughter, who just started learning piano I haven’t had the chance to try either of them, but I’ve heard that Roland's PHA-4 action is noticeably heavier, which might not be ideal for a young beginner On the other hand, the Roland looks more modern and offers more features, like MIDI and computer connectivity, poliphony is better, while the Kawai has excellent speakers and some of the best piano samples in its classbrIt’s a tough choice—what would you recommend?
Comment from : @voronovski

Hi everyone, brbrWould you say the p145 will take a player to pro status? Meaning the p145 is capable of taking their piano skills from biginner to professional pianist?brIf not, will it at least take them through the intermediate phase????brIm worried that it's polyphony is too low and that the piano is not durable enough to last longbrbrWhat's the polyphony on the p145?
Comment from : @BestTrader-hp2sd

Thanks for the info, would be nice if you could detail an approximate price for each unit so we can easily compare

Thanks for your video It's really useful❤ I am really confused and don't know what model to buy, could you please help? Roland rp30, rp107, Kurzweil M90 and M70, yamaha P125 are the models I can afford to buy (I prefer Yamaha YDP series but it costs more than I can afford) Which one do you suggest? (I can't rely on sales man in my area cause I think each one of them just wants to sell what they have!)

I LOVE THE REPORT CARDS ! Very helpful!

Hi Stu, thanks for another high quality piano video! My 7-year-old son has been learning piano for more than 2 years using Yamaha P45 We love the sound of this piano, but he really needs an upgraded digital piano (not necessarily portable) with better key actions (feel like acoustic piano with escapement) and 3 pedals If its sound is closer to acoustic piano that’ll be even better He almost never uses the headphone but just the speaker Our budget is around $2000 USD Any recommendations?
Comment from : @KH-ct4zr

Seen a lot of people recommend the FP10 but I only just heard from you about its ACR upgrade!
Comment from : @na3rial

Hey man I'm really impressed with your keyboard playing
Comment from : @shmu-elocho382

Now costco sold PX-765 with bench bundle for $599 Is it a good deal?
Comment from : @entertainmentym4429

need help! what's the difference between Casio PX-765 and PX-770?
Comment from : @entertainmentym4429

i got my roland RP 701 💟
Comment from : @Suiren_36

I just purchased an AODSK B-83S 88-weighted key digital piano (not reviewed here) with a nice black upright piano looking stand (with designer music shelf) for our recent college graduate We wanted something that looks and sounds great, but not too expensive, in case she loses interest and we have to sell it I also bought the matching padded bench and the whole thing looks great! Better than just a keyboard, or keyboard with an 'X' stand Total cost (2024) $400
Comment from : @Paul-lm5gv

Can you pls do a comparison among different hammer actions in digital pianos if available? Thanks!
Comment from : @scribbler-1453

Great video as always Do you have any recomendations for speakers/monitors to use with digital pianos, for someone who has the keyboard in a small room? Thanks
Comment from : @calote

Hi, can you make a video of the best digital piano/keyboard under $1000 or $1500?
Comment from : @hallellujah7637

awesome review 👍🫰👏🙌🫶👌
Comment from : @mahadipi

The idea of having a piano tagged as ''for beginners'' is odd I believe that if you want a beginner to become a Rubinstein or an Argerich, let them play on the best piano
Comment from : @MadameDequoila

Any recommendation on Korg LP-380U vs KDP120?brbrExcellent vid btw, been struggling on picking a piano for my son who is only been playing for a year and needs to move up to an 88 weighted key No preference on playing low or high volume, just want him to be as familiar with the sound and feel of an acoustic piano
Comment from : @domokun845

I am looking for a new keyboard optionI currently have an ancient yamaha motif ES8 I don't need all the workstation stuffI need to be able to carry it around to gigs I am partial to piano and piano sounds I want 88 keys and weightedI hate the "plasticy" (is that a word?) feel that the newer machines have However, after watching about 5 of your videos, I LOVE the sound of the kawai'swowand you play crazy beautiful, my friend!!! WOW!!! I don't want a beginner keyboardI'd like something in the mid-range What do you recommend?
Comment from : @sonyabrunner4395

Thank you very much STU for your careful introduction😆
Comment from : @sale6257

Need help: Casio PX-770 for $649, is it a good deal to get?
Comment from : @Mia-p3w1c

Hi Merriam Music May I ask, which, key action is heavier PHA-4 from roland or RHlll from Kawai?
Comment from : @betzyvargas3218

Hi, thank you for your great reviews I have a question, which of the known brands can deliver the best "Joep Beving Sound"? Not necessarily these models I love the classic piano sounds, but also that softer piano tone from a lot of todays modern players like Beving thanks in advance!
Comment from : @laneige4524

Thank you for including my FP10 Please do a review on the 'ACR' and if it's worth upgrading for that
Comment from : @robintyson591

Hello, thank you very much for your videos, one question does the new Roland Rd 88 EX have better sound quality than the FP 60 x?
Comment from : @osielparedes1550

You mention the Roland FP10 ACR is the lowest price entry point - is the Kawai ES60 more expensive?
Comment from : @pianowhizz

Will you review the Roland EARTH piano?
Comment from : @Biozene

Have you guys received the new Kawai es60?
Comment from : @vinayak3751

Thanks for the video Stu I Europe/France we cannot buy the Roland FP10 ACR Do you have any idea on when that will be possible? Thanks
Comment from : @MrGadaga

Merriam Music, when are you expecting to receive Kawai ES60, please?
Comment from : @mfurman

CLP825 vs CN301 vs APS450 ?
Comment from : @田中庄一-l8c

the best deal at this price point is the Casio PXs 5000Its worth spending acouple hundred over the 1100 to get superior wooden keys which actually none of the mentioned pianos have
Comment from : @jamesa375

Complimenti per il video!!! Perché visto che è piaciuto a molti non fate un altri video per le fasce di livello successivo?
Comment from : @raf73030

Kawai KDP-120 or Casio PX-870 ? I just can't decide between them
Comment from : @zlatanibrisimovic3799

Why didn't you add fp 30x to the list? Is it not worth for the price?
Comment from : @gibon000

It's disappointing that Merriam has moved to these bite-sized videos Maybe Stu doesn't have the time to do the more detailed ones but boy do I miss those
Comment from : @jasonekratz

I'm about to buy a Kawai es120, can't wait to start playing it
Comment from : @clouphon3019

I'm from Belgium Initially I didn't want to spend more than 1k € for a piano as I'm a beginner but after some testing, the Kawai CN301 sounded too good and got it! 1569€ but surely worth it 😊
Comment from : @reighnaut

Hoy en español, BrentbrNo os voy a matar porque desde España vuestra tienda me pilla un poco a trasmano brUn año mirando videos, vuestros y de algunos de vuestros colegas en Canadá, en USA y en Europa, revisando características y comparaciones,brY cuando ya he decidido que mi próximo piano debería ser un Kawai CN201 de alrededor de 1300€, viene Stu y me demuestra que el KDP120 de alrededor de 900€ es la elección correcta para mis capacidades y mis aspiracionesbrOs voy a odiar brbrbr😂😂😂😂😂😂brbrVa a ser siempre un placer ver vuestros vídeos brY, como siempre, un abrazo para ti, que Stu ya tiene suficientes fans
Comment from : @emaldonadog

"If you enjoy the Yamaha sound" sounds a bit ike a coded message, especially since beginners won't know what sound sounds best/most realistic In the US it appears the fp10ACR is just an FP10 in a bundle Also, in the US the FP-30x is actually a little cheaper than the Casio shown here, might be a stronger competitor (albeit with heavier keys)
Comment from : @qwe1231

Not a beginner but I have a Kawai GL40 Grand I got new a few months ago, a Yamaha P515, Roland FP60X and a Kawai ES920 that just arrived and I’m about to unbox I also have a Casio GP510 I just like having a variety Same with guitars
Comment from : @Gustavo-x8f3q

Kawai ES120 provides probably the best value for money in this list - especially if you are looking just for good piano action and sound Other models are also solid choice, I would also include yamaha P-225, which is just slightly more expensive than P-145 but offers significant improvements
Comment from : @xhobv02

There's a new Kawai out that seems to be going for roughly the P-145's price range called the ES60
Comment from : @kosomolsk

Many complaint about roland fp 30x , 10x action to be Sluggish, super slow and noisy action that starts making unintended clicking noises within a few hours and really poor dynamics and the worst customer service on the planet:brRoland
Comment from : @Ajaykumarr89

tried the Roland FRP Nuvola and it felt like a cheap toy compared to the fp10 acr
Comment from : @NPC123UH

Roland fp e50 is the best of the best
Comment from : @puhkasika

As black friday is approaching I think this comparison is very welcomed I am hoping to purchase Kawai CA-901 in the coming weeks Will there be a comparison in the higher price range too?
Comment from : @jurajbeger9299

Love your videos Can you do a similar video for those ready to move up from their first purchase?
Comment from : @204jlfleming

Hi, is there registration bank in roland rd 08 for storing our tones to play in church
Comment from : @Legato85Legato

I am quite sad that the Yamaha P225 does not make it to the list, I was able to buy one brand new for $550 bucks Do you guys think it’s a good deal?
Comment from : @19-phamthienphuc44

Hi, nice video!brI wonder, what do you think about Px s5000 is a better option over Px s1100?brThose can be used as MIDI controllers? I would like to have a keyboard for practicing and for recording with pianoteq 😊brbrGreat video 👌
Comment from : @NellyNava-t9o

FP10 ACR was already available at Costco last year I got it but returned a few months later because of the action clicking noise (I really do not like PHA-4)
Comment from : @mfurman

I bought kdp120 according to your advice Despite the fact that it costs 1700$ in Belarus, I am very satisfied with it
Comment from : @amaibot

Huh, is the FP 10 ACR really an upgraded model of the FP 10? That came out just now? I looked online since I literally bought the FP 10 6 days ago, so that new model would have been a bit unfortunate, but what I found is that the FP 10 ACR is a model branded for Costco and that has been in sale for a while now - at least since January 2024 (I found several reddit threads and used offerings from January and February, so probably even longer) OO The model is also not listed on Roland's website for me I dug a bit deeper and saw that it was also sold in a bundle with a stand - that bundle being called "FRP-2-ACR" But I found no specs, only the manual on Rolands FRP-2-ACR support site XD Roland is really weird about that
Comment from : @no-trick-pony

The YDP145 has more polyphony than the P145 Haven't fully checked the specs yet, but if anything I think the YDP145 is more of a P225 in a cab with a GHS action🎹🎶
Comment from : @MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12

Can't wait for the successor of Fp30x Will be on my wishlist for sure
Comment from : @m3rc743

This guy is a total kawai p*mp rn 😂
Comment from : @pranavjayaprakasanut

I've seen shops in Europe selling off their Yamaha P45 stock for 250-300 Euro That's difficult to beat for beginners at that price Even if it is quite an old model now
