Steve Weingart and the Privia PX-5S

[@woweffet]

Steve is such a humble human being, i wish we had more guys like him around..Absolute world class player and class act off the stage too. hats off steve!

[@renekaaij6236]

So happy to see this!! I've got my PX5s for nine years now and I still don't want to be without it!! Use it mainly in the studio! For me this one has still much more character than the recent Yamaha or Roland piano's! Still feel really connected to this instrument emotianally! So I'll keep mine anyway! Even the Ct-s1 sounds and plays amazing, although no weighted keys. But it's my "Play anywher" piano! Yes... In case you didn't notice... I'm a big Casio fan!

[@donjackowski1298]

Really inspiring listening to you play and discuss this instrument on the strength of its merits from a perspective of an actual player. Thanks for doing this, you made me think this might be what I have been looking for.

[@joepergo]

Excellent review.... I'll be getting one very soon based on your review...thanks and have a great life....

[@graziafraccon2331]

great hands on a good keys, makes the difference!

[@Evangelionism]

Want one so badly 😢

[@FrazerGoodman]

great interview

[@AlexTch]

Very nice review! I like that this review feels truly genuine and authentic coming from a long-term piano player like you and talking in a very informative and informal manner about the instrument and how it will benefit you in your daily life. I also must say your have outstanding piano playing skills, which I very much admire! I came here from the Casio Facebook page and glad I saw this. Best of luck in your career! Thanks, Alex Tcherniak

[@playonkorg]

Mr Weingart , the way you play I like . If you hear the music on the movie "Turkish Froot" from Rogier van Otterlo with Toots Thielemans , you will here that kind of Fender Roads what you play. You do it great !

[@CMvidproductions]

Very cool video. I'm in love with my Privia PX-3 but I have my eye on this as a possible upgrade.

[@soureel]

I used a Px3 for a couple of years. Recently sold it and bought the Px-5. Haven't regretted my decision for a second.Huge improvement in the onboard sounds and in ability to edit sounds. Many new sounds available for download. Plus a very active support community.

[@musilab]

Lee Rouse Hi, Lee. I'm trying to decide between PX3 and PX-5s. I use 99% of the time virtual instruments, so I'm not concerned about the quality of the onboard sounds. What I care most is the overall build and keyboard (keys) quality. I can't try the PX-3, but today I played on the PX-5 and the CDP-130. CDP-130 is out of my choices because it doesn't have bend wheel nor act as a controller. So I keep between PX-3 and PX-5s. The first one is half the price of the second here in brazil. Should I buy the PX-3 and I'll keep having a good hammer action and controller capability? Thanks!!!

[@soureel]

Hmmm. Playing mostly virtual instruments- The one thing which would sway me towards the PX5 is that setups are MUCH easier to create and save on the PX5 than on the PX3. So if you want to store song setups in the keyboard, the PX5 would be your choice. Build-wise and keyboard touch-wise, they're pretty much the same. If you're just using the keyboard as a dummy midi controller and managing all your song setups through something like Cantabile, the PX3 would probably suffice. Good luck!

[@jobatimus]

Congratulations Good demo..And very good Rhodes sound

[@Loddar007]

These little EP-Sequences following at 7:10 sound really, really good!

Perfect the organ model,perdue the Stevie wonder bass synth sounds,and you'll win the war, remain restless until you do, Casio

[@kadee4849]

Hi Steve, nice to see you in this informativ Video. Looking forward to October in Hamburg. Greetings to Renee from Northern Germany. Dieter (father of Christian). Did you see our Soccermatch last night against the brazilians?

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

nobody ever asks what kind of pianos I use...the audience just hears music. I like this. 🐰✌️

[@educapro]

Love 10:43-11:17 colorful.Wow.

[@zoellapetite]

has the stage setting in this clip got distortion on? It sounds more fuzzier than the stage setting SweingartRD6 that I downloaded.

[@donontheradio]

What kind of stage amplification do you recommend for the best sounding grand sound at a moderate price? Keyboard amps tend to peak out at high volumes and seem to leave me flat. I've always used mixers and my last amp setup was a Behringer XENYX X1204USB with 2 Behringer Eurolive B212D Powered PA Speakers. It sounded very good with my Triton and MOX6 but I blew a number of crossovers and a woofer.

[@SuneSchack]

Steve W - you're a bad ass.... Awesome! I am getting one to replace my CP5.... It's a matter of time, I guess.

[@kaputasri]

Did you really replace a CP5? I thought it was a great keydoard it's very pricey. How does the PX-5S compare to the cp 5 piano voices?

[@solsara7714]

I have a question. Can you download the hammond and roland options? Because they sound really good. I'm new at it, what dou you need to put them into the piano? A computer and which programm and tools? Thanks!!

[@Bass4bassist1]

Sounds good. Check out Steve with Dave Weckl, Unbelievable...Monster on Keys.

[@educapro]

monster keyboard, and Steve you're right...I too am picky about the sound, feel and touch of a great keyboard.

[@luvjameyr]

Hey Steve enjoy your playing.I am trying to decide between the Privia 5S and Privia 560.Can you tell me which is going to be more suited for playing virtual instruments from a Mac with Logic in the studio?Is there any difference in the feel and action between the two?

[@LouisJosephson]

A few questions about this keyboard: 1. is it weighted? because on some websites it says it is, but on others it says it is just touch-sensisitive. 2. Compatible with MainStage3+? 3 (general question) Is it worth the 999 dollars?

[@Andreorsel]

Dave Bartholome don't like the Rhodes sound!?! Man, it sounds exactely like a real Rhodes! And you can eq it anyway you like with the sliders.

[@chriss1152]

Casio keyboards have come along way

[@keyboardmusician8293]

I have the Casio 5s and it's great. Especially linked with my iPad for extra piano and Rhode sounds

[@violinoscar]

What's the name of your band, Steve?

[@zoellapetite]

what stage setting is the rhodes he's playing?

[@casiomusicgear]

That is a custom Stage Setting which we'll be releasing soon. It is a slight variation on the "Rider on the Storm" Rhodes which is already available for download.

[@zoellapetite]

Casio Music Gear Looking forward to it. You guys are great.

[@Ivan-cz4vh]

Casio Music Gear I want to take this casio but, im interest in key action.... in Serbia i have not chance to try it before I buy... so can you give me some details about action, or pictures, video of inside to look... Im classical pianists.

[@zoellapetite]

Ivan Predojevic I'm afraid I haven't owned enough digital pianos to compare them or played many quality grands. I do know, a lot of people have praised the action. This guy for example says he prefers it to those common red stage pianos watch?v=5h8bx8cHNao It uses a tri-sensor on the keys and is a graded hammer action with fairly grippy keys though the one thing I dislike about it is that they make a fair bit of noise if you hit them hard, both when you press them down and you release them. I hope Casio makes then quieter if they make a sequel model. I've heard other Casio keyboards are very quiet like the WK series.

[@Ivan-cz4vh]

zoellapetite ok. i have korg rh3 piano action right now and its good for me in this moment, its harder on lower notes and lighter on high. So its similar to grand piano. I just wondering hows action and I want to see video of this casios piano action...because i cant try it here in dead end Serbia.

We want a New PX5S Black Edition. PLEASE.

[@fmtvarse]

i bought one of a guy who tried to learn to play .so hardly used and boxed . very pleased . i want a kawai mp7 as well , but this Casio is a market breaker ...a lot of kit for literlly peanuts

[@HighlandStudio91]

Wow...Mr.Weingart is 3 years older than myself(I'm 46) and he's never heard of a pro line of Casio's until he was introduced to the Privia PX-5S?Really?? Casio has been making pro synths since the mid 1980's and this guy was an adult then and he's been a keyboardist since he was 3...man,something just does not compute. To be fair though,Casio does not have a long history of pro-level keyboards and in fact(after the 80's)there was a solid decade of consumer grade-only,keyboards. Only in the last 15 or so years,did Casio even touch on the pro market once again,with their MZ-2000(which was more or less an entry level keyboard that was aimed toward the pro-level.)

What did he say? I can't stop staring at that opossum clinging to his chin.

[@danielhartle3778]

Little Gator Farm I'm sorry Steve. I couldn't resist

[@markbra]

This keyboard nerd has the chops to back up whatever he says !!
