Battle of the Beginner Pianos! - Roland Go:Piano Vs Casio CDP-S100 Vs Korg B2

[@JaXuun]

blending between the pianos at the beginning is genius and exactly what i was hoping for. this is the way piano sounds should be compared.

[@hanjarake_taro]

True

[@jamesandjacque]

Because of this youtube channel, it made it clear for me when I needed to choose which keyboard to get. Getting Casio CDP S100 is still my best recommendation, thank you guys for doing this kind of keyboard-comparison videos. It helps us a lot! Cheers!

[@UltraMegaSandwich]

Editing on these vids is unreal. Well done guys.

[@ChrisHairMusic]

The electric piano on the Korg B2 sounds incredible!

[@999slawter]

Casio guys. I didn't think that at first, but it's a top "price/value" equipment. Not just for the beggining!

[@youngTAGZ]

I have the Casio and I freaking love it I’m so happy I bought it

[@TheAwesomeGuy101]

Go with the Casio... If you want a studio level sound then just pair it with omnisphere and you are done. The Casio is built like a semi premium product in a low budget entry range of the market imo.

[@radha7335]

[@richardgreene4725]

I recently looked at the Roland Go piano 88. Would have preferred 88 keys, but found to be very light thin plastic keys, just like I had on my old Casio. I wanted to upgrade with better, more realistic keys. I found the Roland Go-61P to have a much better keyboard, more akin to a piano. They have a good weight & faux ivory feel, flat top black keys which fingers do not slide off. perhaps semi-weighted or strongly sprung with a felt trim. Such a shame they skimped on Go piano 88. I would recommend the Go-61P for the more realistic touch.

[@GrantJackson70USD]

I got the Casio when it first came out. I’ve been very happy with it.

[@jessecohen1]

[@H-DA]

The Roland sounds amazing as well as the Korg! Still I ordered the Casio, cause I'm short on money and I got it for less for it has some scratches and I really wanted to have weighted keys. Your reviews are very helpfull

[@Brandon-a-writer]

I'm considering the Casio or Yamaha Clavinova… can you use the three pedal setup for the casio?

[@H-DA]

@@Brandon-a-writer No you can't, as far as I know. It only suports sustain paddle. I think it is still fine for a beginner but on the long run, the Roland FP-10 is the far better choice as well as the Yamaha P-45. Only I cannot afford it so I will have to go with the Casio in the mean time.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@H-DA i'm an intermediate-advanced player, just pretty broke for the most part. i would prefer one with the capacity for 3 pedals. i played a clavinova at a sam ash not too long ago, and though i can't remember if it had 3 pedals, it sounded amazing.

[@H-DA]

@@Brandon-a-writer well, there are many great pianos out there. Clavinovas are sold for 1.600,- up to 16.000,- as far as I have seen, I'm sure you cannot compare them to a 350,- Casio but if you are willing to spent it, go for it. Do you know what type of Clavinova it was? In case you want something cheaper, the yamaha p-45 that I mentioned supports 3 pedals als well and cost about 420,- and I think the sound is way better than the Casio but surely not as good as a Clavinova I think. (In €)

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@H-DA It was an upright cabinet Clavinova that looked a lot like a real piano, so I'm pretty sure it had.3 pedals. The next piano I get is definitely going to be between 700-$1500. I'm not sure which Clavinova it was exactly, but it sounded wonderful. Though I have considered the Roland p10 as well. The Yamaha p45 is one I have to look at … my current piano is a 76 key Yamaha ypg-235. I think I paid around $250 for it. I was considering getting a midi controller because of how nice some of my VST programs are (Synthogy ivory is really nice and has great tones), but if I could get a piano that sounds as good as the higher model Privia sx-3000 or a Clavinova I will probably try to get one of those. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my quesions!

[@jjrusy7438]

i like yamaha/roland piano EQ over the brighter korg/casio eq's. the go piano stood out immediately in that respect. i have noticed this across most of the models for a while now. BUT korg cuts through a mix really well. fwiw, i have a yamaha MX88 for piano and a korg KromeEX+X50 for most everything else, except a JV-2080 for those great roland sounds, so i have a ton of pianos to play with.

Hola a todos, desde Chile dentro de la categoría de pianos eléctricos, la verdad es que los tres suenan muy bien, pero yo me quedo con el Korg B2, me gusta mas la llenura del sonido de piano sin desmerecer a las otras dos marcas, aunque me sorprendió gratamente el Casio, suena muy bien, personalmente me gusta mas el Korg. Bendiciones y gracias por el video explicativo

[@harkerroland9750]

Korg b2 for first timer who want to keep the piano for 3 years or more.. roland if you want good sound and perform and choose casio if you just want to fool around.. trust me what good about casio just the battery and the key feel, because idk why i hate the cdp s100 action...

[@daztastic147]

Surely that Casio should be compared against the FP-10 or 30, the Go range is obviously going to be limited to save weight so comparing the Casio and acknowledging the weighted keys and better battery performance doesn’t seem fair. It’s not apples for apples as they say. Oh and no mention of the weight but I’m sure it’s not 7kg

[@agoodmansaid]

Ma man, what you were playing there by the Korg with the E. Pianos!? Rocked my soul! 😭😭

[@IamMusicNerd]

The Yamaha PSR-E273 is absolutely amazing and less than $150!

[@JoeLinux2000]

Roland Go is touch sensitive. Do the Roland Go Strings sustain with a sustain pedal? Because they don't on Yamaha DGX-670. Nice demonstration and comparison. While I complain about the Yamaha DGX, one really good thing about it is that when you combine it with Pianoteq Pro, there is no latency and the resulting piano tone when the two are played simultaneously together is totally awesome. I wish you would test all these keyboards in conjunction with Pianoteq to assess how good they are as controllers along with how much latency there either is or isn't.

[@whisperdancer]

Yes it does sustain the strings. But the strings slowly decay instead of being held.

[@ij1373]

Thank you for the review! I’d love to buy from your links but need USA ones. Still not sure Love the simpler Roland Go and the sound but love also the Korg B2 richness. Surprised at the quality of the Casio.

[@nocastus]

The other feature of the Korg, not mentioned, is that the USB socket is for audio as well as MIDI, so you can record the sound of the piano into your computer without needing to use an audio interface - just select the Korg as the audio input in your DAW. I think that’s a big advantage over the others which only carry MIDI data on the USB.

[@Shoxart]

Wow, this is a great option to record audio via usb, any other pianos with usb have this? Thnx for info.

[@nocastus]

@@Shoxart I don’t think any of the other pianos at a comparable price point do. It was what made me choose the Korg for my daughter - who wanted something to record her songs into Cubase - instead of a Yamaha, which is what I use myself.

[@audiosaucer2124]

Amazing what ~$300,- pianos can do today. Btw., I think the EQing on the CASIO was 'sligtly' boomy? The ROLAND have this 'ZING' when hit hard which almost sounds as the hammers are metal mallets :P A bit of comp will be good there :) The A.Piano on the KORG is a bit synthetic to my taste, but some of the E.Pianos are great :)

[@quibster]

roland piano did sound the best by a fair shot, the casio seemed to have much fewer samples in the piano and the korg has this weird midrange thing, i personally don't like it but you could EQ it out pretty easy to see what their samples really sound like without a hump. i think in terms of usability if you wanted a rhodes type sound as well as a piano, probably go with the korg or casio, the roland simply doesn't have that sort of sound loaded in. but if piano is all you want then it's a good choice.

[@peruperu-jj8zs]

Is it just me that when I hear him play soft on the casio, it almost sounds like they just turn the volume knob down. It doesn’t sound like the sound of piano when you press the keys softly. It sounds quieter but the loud note and quiet notes sounds the same except one is just quieter. It’s hard to explain…lol hope that makes sense

Roland fp 10 is light years better than casio cdp s100. I have both at home. The feel when playing is indescribably better with Roland, it has a nice sound and very quiet keys. The Casio has a terrific sound and very loud keys, although they are pleasant to the touch.

There is a special input at the bottom, but no 3.5mm for substain, thats sad

[@ikigai47]

I hate that the B2 doesn't have a pitch wheel, and the proprietary pedal jack input. But it's the clear winner for me, even over the Casio CDP-S350, simply because of it's sound. Especially its Rhodes sound. The CDP-S350 can do sooooo much more though for someone that likes fun features so... it all depends on your needs
