Wonder how this compares to the Yamaha gb1 disklavier enspire. Does this have the self adjustment system?

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Fantastic sounding piano.

I was on the fence between the CP and the YC for so long I didn’t get either. I even bought the Reface versions to get both. Recently was revisiting the idea and discovered Yamaha had unveiled this. Sold!

Thanks for your informative vidéo. How does the VPC1 compare with the Kawai MP-11 SE? The latter came out in 2017 (vs 2013 for the VPC1) and, in addition to being a midi controller, has embedded speakers and sounds making it possible to start playing in a few seconds without turning on a computer. About the action mechanism, both seem very similar from what I read online.

What's that piece's name at 7:10? Is it a known song or just some great improvisation?

omg this small talk..

Why would you not play the same piece on each piano for comparison????

YES.

Dear Ted. Please tell me the name of the song your allway play. Will try to play it myself. Oluf Denmark

I played the K600 (essentially the K800 without the grand style stand and royal felt) and the K300 in a store and the difference in tone and feel is insane! The K600 is truly magnificent!

On the net there are only "reviews" from the musical stores so you never get to know which one is better. Its just an advertisement for all of them. Boring.

Beautiful toy.

Roland was my favorite Yamaha a close second. Kawai sounded the worst by a lot in my opinion, It wasn't even comparable. I learned on acoustic and have played for 33 years I am a piano teacher and a daily player my whole life.

Very informative about the history of this awesome brand as well as talk about sets apart from that more hyped brand. Thanks!

Wow, what a great way to hear the voices and the rhythm in this multi example of music

I've got both the YC & CK 88's. The YC's action and dynamic sensitivity make this the choice for serious piano players, while i prefer the CK's lay out and functionality. The CK is weighted, but it has a lighter bouncier action, so easier to play organ sweeps, and even though its not a waterfall organ type keyboard.. For gigging musicians who don't have the luxury of road crew, the CK is much lighter than the YC.

That's interesting Ted because a year or so ago, you compared the CN 301 (Responsive Action III) with the CA 401 (Grand Feel Compact) and unless I'm mistaken you said that getting a wooden key didn't matter at the time. I'm a little confused... but I love the Grand Feel Compact in my CA 409!

Shiguru is so warm but rich at the same time in the bass! I’ve always been a fanatic about the sk series. I have the kawai mp7se, i played the real thing and compared them and it was the clearest and the closest to detail ive ever heard in a piano. Yahamas are beautiful but to me i think they’re almost too bright for my tastes, I’ve never been that much of a fan of yahamas tuning, but comparing each one with a steinway isnt even a fare comparison because a steinway is its own apple within itself!!!!

Great sound and player, if you can replace colon by : and slash by /, you can watch the High Res spectrum of the Alamo Jingle, at 3:50, Unfortunately processing power is limited to a few seconds, take care of your throat Ted, Happy Holidays,

lol semi weighted are good.. don't let his bias push u away, yea mosteley expensive but if ur checking in that price range why not.. u have a Nord piano 5 and to be honest the full weight limits me. I can't play fast it really takes a "while" when they are back at your fingers

It would be handy if they introduce the ability to copy measures.

I am apparently the pee in the punchbowl on this issue, but I really don't like the 525's action. It is too light.

On several occasions I provided, tuned, and prepared a Steinway concert grand for George on his swings through New England, moving the piano from one venue to another over a period of a week or more. George was eccentric to say the least. He always performed in the same plaid flannel shirt, jeans, and socks; no shoes; and he was very particular about extraneous noises. He would spend a great deal of time going around the hall opening and closing doors, and checking seats and floor boards for squeaks and noises. His performances were all exactly the same, right down to the little ad libs and asides between pieces that the audience was supposed to think were spontaneous off the cuff remarks. I don't recall ever seeing a detailed spec sheet like the one in this video, but he always seemed fine with my tunings and the playability of the instrument. I can only describe much of his music as being rather onomatopoeic; that is, his phrasings and colorings would evoke rustling leaves or falling rain or the movements of small animals. His performances included some stride piano pieces as well as some Vince Guaraldi. RIP George!

Why is the jack on the front panel labeled ‘input‘ while it is definitely the output?

I recognized the tune as Ashokan Farewell.

I'm sorry, but from Valencia (Spain), San Antonio fit a little far to go to meet you.

Great playing Ted! Just for kicks, I'd love a side by side playing of the GL30 and the K800 😊

unfortunately the mp7se isn't available in a 73/76 key version. btw great demo and presentation.

How were the Baldwin F's in comparison to the SF10's?

Three very nice piano's. I have never played a Steinway. From personal experience I would choose a Kawai over a Yamaha. The latter would however come a close second. :)

Thank you for the comparison. I went with the Roland GP-6 myself after comparing them side to side in a showroom. I like the brighter,, more American sound of the Roland and the key-action is far superior to the plastic feel of the Yamaha imho. Ultimately it's personal preference and I would advice everyone to actually sit behind them and try them out.

Well, you blew it! The most important element of playing a piano is the touch and how the player feels when a certain piano is played. You already said a technician can make any piano sound like any other piano. So why not focus on the player and the touch. Most important is the touch. You can play 1000 steinways and never repeat the same touch. Also, Bosendorfer pianos are constructed almost completely out of soundboard spruce. This way, the vibration of the strings is transferred to the keys. You are selling pianos to people, focus on the people.

I ended choosing the fp 90x - it feels amazing, key action is top notch. Sounds great too, at least as far as my ears can discern. Speakers are ample, feels right for practicing in a quiet room at about 40% full volume, and sound does not distort all the way up to 100% where it is quite loud.

QUE MARAVILHA!!! PARABÉNS!!!

Ca you please do an action video?

The pianist in my family, my daughter, said she thinks Steinway is airy, Kawai is sweet, and Yamaha is full-bodied - I heard that too, we have a Yamaha U3. But she said they're all good. I personally like the Yamaha of the three. Thank you.

Still a Yamaha and sounds like a toy

Screw the hundreds of voices. No one ever uses 1/10 of those (more likely they rarely use even ten). Tell us more about the useful features such as record and play back and software support.

Un saluto a tutti dalla Sicilia!!! Volevo un consiglio devo acquistare uno stage piano ero indeciso tra il Roland fp90x lo yamaha p525 e il kawai es920!?! Accetterei volentieri i vostri consigli

Just bought the Kawai k500 its my first piano and wanted something great that could grow with me. 🤩

I just purchased an AODSK B-83S 88-weighted key digital piano with a nice black upright piano looking stand (3 foot pedals & stylish 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! Total cost (2024) $400. NO WAY I COULD HAVE AFFORDED A COMPARABLE ACOUSTIC PIANO.

Once you go Piantoteq you won’t care for stock sound again.

Can anyone tell me how this compares to the Nu1xa now.

Well crafted instruction video. PSR SX-900 is a marvelous music tech instrument! I need more work on this-

I love my kawai es920

I played both and bought the Yamaha N3x. Also i like more the look of this baby. To hear that the design is less important, i do not agree on that personally, at least when you have this quality of hybrid piano. My 2 cents. And btw this accoustic piano is there for decades and will not change primarily in its design more old fashion ;)

Best angle ever

Wonderful video! Very informative, honest and objective discussion!

So you just assume that I am too stupid to learn how to tune or repair a piano??? Sounds like a challenge to me!
