My casio px-360 arrived yesterday and I was blown away! Piano man Chuck was spot on and I'm so glad he made this video. The sound and functionality are second to none

[@bmbell71]

Use mine in the studio. The synth functions and hexlayer stuff make it a great little tool, and as you mentioned the 16 track sequencer. The built in speakers are important to me because I don't want a keyboard amp taking up space. I'm primarily a drummer, and I have a Roland SPD-SX I use to trigger sound clips that I write with the PX-560. I can sequence them and write them to a USB thumb drive and load them in on the SPD-SX. It's a fantastic workstation keyboard, that as you say, other companies have products that do some of the features, but not all of them, and not for this price point. I really hope Casio continues this product in some capacity. I worry that Casio is just concentrating on the home digital piano market, but the other companies are just not filling this gap.

[@regmason2329]

I've had mine since it was released. Still have it, and recently bought another- as a spare! As a solo performer, this instrument fits me perfectly. The fact that Casio has not upgraded this piano is just unbelievable! And the cost is unbelievable for the features. Agree with you completely Chuck!

[@mikebirdwell7480]

I am still loving my PX-560 I bought from you back in 2020. Thanks Chuck!

[@StrangeThoughtsOfLiv]

I got mine after you reviewed it back in 2015! Still love it. - The one thing wish it had is a better drawbar simulator -- but I've been able to create some good organs using the hex lays!

[@jibinjacob.]

Absolutely true!! Even the Casio MZ X500 is still way ahead of its time!! Still no keyboards in their respective price range to beat them!!

[@brianfroehling]

Piano Man Chuck is a really great passionate musician! Thanks for the info Chuck 🤗

[@thomaspick4123]

I love mine. I hope they continue to build them. I want to give some as presents to my family when I get some money. I love the many tones. I enjoy the rhythms. Light weight. Does not cost too much compared to other keyboards. So many features. Has legacy MIDI ports. USB port.

[@PianoManChuck]

I agree with you, but they're discontinued and already sold out in the USA. The only way to get a new one at this point is to try to find a retailer that might still have one in their inventory, otherwise the used market.

[@gus5093]

Sweet vid. Very clear, helpfull, and appealing as usuel.Thank you Chuck for sharing tour time and insights. Peace.. Gus

[@Rohit-pe1bg]

Incredible. I've had this keyboard since 2018, and I've not even scratched the surface of this keyboard's capabilities. I'm going to dig deep in your playlist. Thanks for sharing!

[@scottrogers2831]

I absolutely love mine!

[@thomaspick4123]

Me too.

[@islandtony5009]

Yamaha CK88 is beyond spectacular, it is a couple hundred more, using it with my band and it's fantastic and super easy to use and find stuff (and has organ drawbars and rotary). But the PX-560 does indeed blow away pretty much anything Casio has released since, including the overpriced 5000/6000/7000

[@benedictdsilva3954]

Nice explanation

[@khallidstennis1579]

COOL. PIANO MAN. I. PURCHASED. A CASIO. CGP- 700. AFTER. SEEING. AND HEARING IT ON. YOU TUBE. SO YOUR WONDERFUL AWESOME PRESENTATION. GOES A LONG WAY. I AM. GETTING ONE. THE PITCH AND MODULATION WHEELS. HOOOKE ME. SUCH. A BROAD. INSTRUMENT. ESPECIALLY. FOR. STUDYING LEARNING. AND PRACTICING. THANX

[@matthewgaines10]

Can’t believe the PX-560 is still a current model with no replacement from Casio. While some of their current offerings are nice, none replace the 560. They don’t attempt to cover the same ground. Honestly, I think Casio isn’t going to ever make another keyboard of its type again. They are done making stage pianos of it’s type. Get it while you can. If mine breaks, I’ll just go up market and outside of Casio.

[@lewiss66]

I ve been enjoying my px350 so far. Do you recommend changing for the px-560? Thanks for the video.

[@oofoofagoofoof530]

Hi Chuck, Nice to see your review, Do you think PX 360 a good bargain too, compared to PX 560? Since I can only have a PX 360 on reach.. Thanks for any input !!

[@bryanwoolbertmusic]

The PX-560 is the best gigging keyboard period. But it is not perfect. I’m a rock pianist and after a year and a half I have cracked 2 keys in the bass range (G2 & D2). I just bought another one and I’m sending my current one out for repair. The things I love most about the keyboard are the drum accompaniment (I’m a solo performer but I sound like a complete band), the preset capabilities, the quick layering and splitting options, the super easy to use interface, and the portability of the keyboard. All of that packed into its price point is incredible. I am also waiting for a modern replacement. But I do not want touch controls like on the PXS-3100; hardware tactile buttons are still the way to go for drum accompaniment when playing live. The drums are a HUGE part of my performance and the 90% of other keyboards without them are dealbreakers for me.

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

What is you opinion of the Kuzrweil PC4? I’m really happy with my PX560 except how clunky the keys are I was really blown away with the sounds and feel of my teachers Kurzweil

[@alenk738]

I think you may have misspoke. Casio specifies a 5.3-inch diagonal touchscreen, not 4.3 inches, of which 0.3 inches appears to be for the dedicated three-button touch strip on its right side (leaving 5 inches of actual LCD visible). Other than that, I agree with your assessment. I love my PX-560. There are critics who find fault with its Steinway- based grand piano tone. But I must be less sonically discriminate because it sounds very good to me.

[@justinnaramor6050]

Just out of curiosity: have you tried powering this specific board with one of those portable power supplies, like what you've demonstrated with other keyboards on this channel? Can't remember if you did a video like that with this keyboard but I know you've done it with others. Maybe this comment seems random but I somehow thought of that as I listened to this video :).

[@teamfrankmedia]

I still own one

[@CTBroadfoot]

Do you ever cover Yamaha on this channel?

[@kaisfp]

"When I'm doing solo piano, that's different." What digital piano are using for solo piano work (if there is no real piano in the restaurant/hotel/cafe/etc..)? Thank you for your help!

[@PianoManChuck]

Casio PX-S6000. Feels great, sounds great, and if I have to.... it'll run on AA batteries! Others that I've used for solo piano gigs: Kawai ES8, Roland FP-90EX and Nord Piano 5... and I'd still use those but the Casio is so much easier to transport with its lighter weight.

[@RA1DEN_YT]

I've been thinking of getting a Roland FP E50. Should I get it or keep my px560?

[@PianoManChuck]

Get it - use both for a while - then decide

[@matthewgaines10]

How could anyone advise you on what you should use when you don’t provide any information on your use cases, wants, and needs?

[@onrode]

What about the PX S7000 ? Or are they in a different category 🤔

[@PianoManChuck]

See closing remarks at 13:22. The PX-560 is considered "Pro Line". That's not what the PX-S7000 is. PX-S7000 is geared toward the home user whereas PX-560 is geared for the keyboardist in a band. Apples & Oranges.

[@bbrrwwnn]

Yes, I demo’d this up against them all. Yamaha…Nord. This “POS” Casio just wins in the live rock pianist category. I just tried to replace it with the PianoTeq 8 iOS. Close, but no. 560 still wins! I even use it as a beach piano around the bonfire in the Bahamas. Just love it.

[@scap7484]

Nice. So Fp-E50 or PX560?

[@matthewgaines10]

Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. Some would say Roland. Others Casio. Their wants and needs will dictate their choice. Since you provide nothing to inform anyone of what you’re looking for, how can they provide any suggestions on what would suit you best. Ford F-250 or BMW M4? The answer is dependent on purpose and budget.

[@crankboost]

Why casio is not launching successor of px560, we want same design and physical controls intact but modern capabilities

[@thomaspick4123]

Just leave it the way it is. Do not change a thing. Keep producing these, Casio, forever.

[@crankboost]

@@thomaspick4123 i have just bought it a week back🤪

[@omedome2787]

good for the price, certainly, but they can not ask for too much, because people will then go for other brands as this will stay associated with good but inexpensive watches and calculators. Image is not a rational thing but very important.
