Now, some 15 years later, I wanted to start over again and I struggled a bit with finding the right instrument. Out of all the videos I've watched yours has been the most helpful one. You have a great way of presenting and I really appreciate your honesty throughout the video. In the end I now decided to go with the Roland FP-10 and was even able to find a well-priced bundle offer. It'll probably take another few weeks until it arrives here but I'm already so excited to start playing on it. Thanks again & lots of love from Germany

[@Asahi380]

For beginners who really want to practice their fingers and basic skills, personally, I think the key actions are the most important thing to consider at first. Therefore, I strongly don't recommend the digital pianos that don't have the escapement mechanism in their key actions. Because you have to ensure that the action is close enough to an acoustic piano so you won't be confused when you switch between them. Pianos like Yamaha P-45/105/115/125, which uses GHS action, have the simplest action and sensor inside them. They're playable, but also nothing close to the real piano actions. When you practice some skillful pieces like Chopin's or Debussy's, their poor actions and sensors will hold you back. And please, check for weight balance between the black and white key. Casio PX-S1000 and S3000 does really bad at this (black keys are lighter than the white keys). I'm using Roland's FP-30, which I think is a great choice for beginners. If too expensive, FP-10 also will do. They're using PHA-4 Standard action that comes with the escapement, which is not perfect (keys feel too heavy when playing some fast pieces), but good enough for the entry-level. On Yamaha's side, you can see how expensive the pianos are that come with GH3X or NWX actions. GH3 action is good, but still feels "wrong" when I'm playing the CLP-635. I heard that some Nord and Kawai's digital pianos also have decent actions, but I have never tried them before so I'm not making any comments.

[@aBachwardsfellow]

- I've also found that it's important to get the best (most suitable) combination of touch sensitivity setting and volume level as different combinations give different "actions" . For example (I have the P125): setting the touch sensitivity to soft gives a brighter sound which makes the action feel "lighter" - I'm getting more sound for my effort; whereas setting it to heavy gives a more mellow sound - I have to play harder to get the same sound. And of course the volume level setting affects that as well. On the soft setting it feels more like I'm playing a Yamaha grand and requires mus less effort, whereas with the heavy setting and the volume just slightly lowered the touch-to-response feels more like a heavier Steinway.

[@vito_keys]

I recommend CDP S100 or FP-10 for those focusing on advanced jazz technique, especially techniques popularized by pianists like McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Bud Powell and Bill Evans

@@canadiansoul9401 likewise !!!! I'm a classically-trained pianist and find the P125 can be set up to be a great practice instrument. I set the touch to heavy and turn the volume slightly lower than an acoustic piano - that way I can play more firmly and it helps develop my finger strength so that when I go to the acoustic grand it actually feels easier to play! :-) The other voices and features are excellent quality as well (I'm also an organist and can practice that as well) -

Jeremy... noted a minor error in your video... from piano player's perspective, @3:13 "the higher notes towards the LEFT side of the piano" -- should be "RIGHT" Was reading and taking notes from the transcript. Thank you for posting this video as it is informing me of things I need to look for in a keyboard for my son who has just begun piano lessons about 3 months ago! I ordered a Yamaha DGX-670 in March, but it's on back order and they keep projecting deliveries to be a month out, beginning in April, then May, now June 22-- it will probably pushed back another month the way things are going. I understand it all plays into the various supply chain issues (chips, parts, shipping, etc.). So I am looking at other options now, just in case Yamaha can't deliver on time or delays become too prolonged. The last thing I want to end up with is a keyboard that's been sitting in a shipping container for months either offshore or in a shipping yard and collecting mold/rust/mice/rats/exotic pests (you get my point). My only problem right now is that the vendor already sold and delivered to me the stand and pedal unit-- hopefully, all goes well with Yamaha and the vendor from here forward!

[@threepe0]

Subscribed to you Teacher Jeremy! I am going to start my journey during this pandemic. I have all the time! I have candle-like fingers and didn’t do well with guitars. I am trying my luck in a piano (which is my first option ever since I was a kid). It seems so far when I was a child but now that I’m an adult and in my 20s, I am determined to start working in making my dreams in music come true!

[@JeremySee]

[@Zoco101]

I think it's brilliant that Korg includes a fullsize single pedal in its B2 series, even if the pedal itself doesn't support half pedalling. I use half pedalling with a proper wooden stand and pedal board (this for my Yamaha) but I find half-pedalling with a single (portable) pedal impossible. So is it worth doing that upgrade just for a single pedal to get half pedalling? I don't think so, particularly not when we're only talking about beginner pianos.

[@DJH8308Y]

Just recently caught your channel while looking at digital pianos. You're incredibly talented, fun to watch, and extremely knowledgeable! I'm 65 years young. Been playing guitar for about 40 years. I've bulit my own recording set up in my home. Music is a serious hobby of mine, but still a hobby. Thinking about adding a keyboard/digital piano to my set up because I love the instrument and its many sounds. I'm in between novice and intermediate as far as my skills on the piano are concerned. You have been a wealth of information. For my needs, there's a lot of great choices in the $700.00 and under range. Your videos have offered some great choices as well. I'm looking closely at the Studiologic Numa Compact 2 or the 2X. I realy like the fact that you don't have to menu dive to get to everything this product has. The sounds are just what i'm looking for and the prices for each are quite reasonable for what you get. Any thoughts? I would value your opinion! Thanks!!

[@toko3d]

@jeremy see I'll put this question to you, but I will also accept answers from anyone else who is familiar with the keyboard or software I had used. I used a Casio lk-280 and a piece of software after I had been playing a short time called "The Logic Behind Music" which taught me a lot of music theory. My weakness to this day is that I am essentially musically illiterate and cannot play anything by sheet music. I got about 2/3 the way through each of the songs on the keyboard (,it had 102 total). I learned them all from rendering tones, notes and the progression of the songs. What do you suggest or recommend? I've considered something like "Synthesia" to learn so I can follow the notes visually while associating the tones with locations on the keyboard. (Which I now know which keys are which note in which octive.)

I'm thinking of getting a digital piano to try learning a little contemporary music, nothing fancy classical or such, and I'm looking at something relatively cheap. The cheapest I can find with weighted keys is about 300 USD (in Sweden, so somewhat higher prices) and that would be semi-weighted with 88 keys. I started looking at used ones though, as you can get great deals if you have a little patience and look around a bit and I managed to find a Yamaha P45 for about 300 USD (which includes shipping which is about 118 USD in itself!), but the real kicker is it also includes the optional stand in that price :) Seeing as the lowest price for the P45 without the stand (and not including shipping) I can find in Sweden seems to be 486 USD this seems like a pretty solid deal. It's on your list and despite a few drawbacks it's a pretty good one (I have a feeling 64 polyphony will never be a limit for me :) ) I'd look for a used Korg but if the aps are all for iOS anyway, well :) If I can learn Black Holes (Don't Hold On), The End (Stars Always Seem to Fade) and Escape the Mind (all by The Warning), and maybe Scarlet from Ayashi no Ceres on it I'm going to be fine :p

Fps are very much bedroom/home studio pianos. I dislike Fp actions (too spongy) and I think the sounds are over processed. The good thing is that some Fp models have DSP control, but I had to tweak things a lot to get an acceptable naturalistic sound. And many models lack USB out. If you play/study classical music or jazz, you may be disappointed with the Fp range. But the Fp10 is still excellent value for money. I prefer the Yamaha P range (excluding P-45) Buy a Roland RD if you can afford it.

[@d0ntbeevil]

@@Zoco101 +1 for Yamaha, but go for the P125 if you can. It has weighted 88 keys, layer sounds, 192 notes polyphony, but ask the store for a "real" sustain pedal. I've tried most brands, I used to sell them and acoustic pianos. This Yamaha, imho, is perfect for beginners and pros. And the resale value is great. BUT AS ALWAYS, never buy such an instrument sight unseen. Always go try them in a store. :) (both Yamaha and Roland pianos come with an optional wooden stand and 3-pedals rack).

A wonderful review video! Thanks for the effort! Very helpful indeed.

[@Darkenergy104]

I'm hella broke but really want to play, I had no choice but to get the poor quality ones that will probably make Jeremy's list of instrumental nightmares but eventually I'll upgrade and thankfully I now know what to look out for🙏

[@jcswim1954]

Loved your reviews Jeremy! Thanks!

[@JeremySee]

Thanks buddy.

[@richardiverson2311]

My local music store knew nothing about pianos. How sad is that.

[@JeremySee]

Music stores can't afford to hire knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately

[@suzenlungu9993]

Thank you so much Jeremy I have atleast learnt something for today and I will keep on following your lessons until I become the expat

[@JeremySee]

Rock on!

[@monkeymage1016]

Thanks pal this helps a lot

[@Tipi2428]

Awesome reviews! Incredibly helpful.

Mine doesn't have weighted keys, I have a 76 key Yamaha portable Grand. Don't miss the half a dozen keys from the lowest and uppermost registry, but I do often ponder about weighted keys. Oh well.. Still, I enjoy rocking Wait for Sleep and the key solos from Learning to Live and of course the intro to The Final Countdown :) Cheers

Sir, is Kawai es 110 a good digital piano to start with?

[@daniel523]

This was really helpful. Thank you.

[@BLACKLIGHTNING7B7]

Roland FP-30 vs Kawai ES-110 ? please help :(

[@aBachwardsfellow]

- or Yamaha P125 ? (slightly more - usually around $650). I'm a classically-trained pianist and find the P125 can be set up to be a great practice instrument. I set the touch to heavy and turn the volume slightly lower than an acoustic piano - that way I can play more firmly and it helps develop my finger strength so that when I go to the acoustic grand it actually feels easier to play! :-) The other voices and features are excellent quality as well (I'm also an organist and can practice that as well) -

[@EmiPianoMX]

Maybe a M-Audio Keystation 88 (or even 61 for desperates) could be a budget choice to compete with the Alesis (you'll need a separate piano sound module, but it has semi weighted keys and a pedal input, and I guess it has a little bit better construction and resale value).

When I get adult money ima lose it

Did you get that Adult Money? I just have normal Money.....

[@shaileshshah153]

Hi, This is SK. I like the way u explained it. It is so easy to understand for me as a "real real" beginner. One thing I don't understand is the size of the key. You mentioned that buy with the full size key. How do I differentiate the full size key & any other size key. How many variation are their in the key size? How do I make decision that I am buying the right piano? please let me know. Thanks

The Roland FP10 is still the best beginner digital piano at that price point, but like the others in the review, you covered all the good and bad things about them well. I would still save up and get the FP30 at the least, or the FP60 or FP90 if I was going to get a good digital piano, since Roland is my #1 brand preference. The FP90 has Roland's top of the line keyboard action from the RD2000 stage piano, and top workstation keyboards like the incredible Fantom 8. Roland also has a new semi weighted keyboard on the 61 and 76 key versions of the new Fantom I really want to try. It is said to be a level above all other previous semiweighted keyboards.

[@jjacob25101]

Also, definitely not for beginners, but Roland has a new 88 key keyboard controller with various functions for professional performance and music production, and if you have a powerful computer, it is hard to beat the sonic quality and vast about of acoustic and electronic vintage voices they offer. Spectrasonics has a few videos on KZbin with famous keyboard players trying out their Keyscapes software package, the best one being with keyboardist Greg Phillinganes playing a whole lot of popular songs from the 70's and 80's, etc., many that he played on those actual recordings as a top session player musician. Some of the other artists play the more conventional acoustic keyboard sounds, but a lot of keyboardist out there cut their teeth learning and playing in various electronic velocity sensitive semiweighted keyboards like the Frnder Rhodes, Wulitzer, and Yamaha CP 70 and Kawaii electric grand pianos, because they were much more portable for gigs and touring. But over the years, technology improved, and it has become affordable to have professional keyboards with all the high quality bread and butter and other sounds, and now even professional level 88 fully weighted progressive hammer action keyboards.

[@emiliocurbelo8891]

I'm currently looking for a first begginer digital piano for my daughter and I also think that Roland has cut too many corners with the FP-10, even for a begginer. For a bit more you get the FP-30, right now here in Europe where I live it's $480 vs $610, in US dollars. For that difference the FP-30 gives extra: easy recoding and playing capability right on the piano (important for begginers!), record and play from/to USB stick, 128 polyphony instead of 96, more powerfull speakers, a second 1/4" headphone/line out, headphones on the front of the piano, the possibility to use 3 pedals, the sustain pedal is continuous instead of a 3 position one. I think these are important things to have.

[@anthonymorse1200]

Thoughts on the Alesis Recital Pro?? Really eyeing this on Amazon. Full weighted keys, 12 voices, all for $ 379 US dollars

[@JeremySee]

This one? amzn.to/3gds1Al Great for beginners. 👍

[@anthonymorse1200]

Yes sir! Thank you! This is what I am going to roll with then

Any tips for a person who’s ring fingers are not flexible? My ring fingers don’t move as my other fingers, it sucks but any tips would help. Thank you

[@paranoikoc]

Just practice,theres no way around this.Everyones fingers are like that when they havent practiced their fingers enough.

[@rccoon]

try finger exercises

[@aBachwardsfellow]

- the ring (4th) fingers are like that for everyone - it's because of how the tendons in the hands cross over. Be sure you're sitting high enough so that your elbows, forearms and wrists are an inch or so above the keyboard. also have a good arch in your hands so that your fingers can transfer weight to play down on the keys and not have to be picked up very high

[@aaronmannofficial]

Wow thank you for your review video. I literally looked thru 10 other videos and they only had video samples from the piano companies with # ranking. Thank you for voicing an actual opinion. I’m gonna buy from your list!

@@JeremySee thank you! I called Guitar Center looking for the Roland FP10 but they said it was discontinued... :/

[@JeremySee]

it isn't discontinued. it is just super out-of-stpck. you can pre-order with the links in my updated video.

@@JeremySee that Yamaha P-45 is tempting! I just want a real feel of an acoustic piano 🎹

The further I watch the more my budget is going to be blown.

[@ChandoraBox]

I'm not a "beginner" but I'm looking for a portable practice keyboard. Something that can fit in a small room.

[@cactuspulp]

Whenever I click on the Roland FP 10 link, it sends me to the FP 30. I'm not even finding the FP 10 on Amazon ): that's the one I want to get

[@JeremySee]

The FP-10 is so super popular, it is always out of stock within hours of being available. Amazon then provides you the next alternative. The FP-30 is better for a little bit more money. Thanks for watching.
