Thanks for the great review. May I recommend that you add the make and model of the reviewed product in the video's title? This way, people specifically searching about this piano will see this video in their search results.

[@SmartWizzard]

Hi Jeremy, can please share a keyboard in budget to attend 1- 8 Grade exams. I have a questioin some models Yamaha sounds great but casio gives decent price. Can you please do a latest comparisons of yaman and casio CTX-8000/9000 IN with above requirement ie exam grade.

[@dr4k3l34]

I’ve been playing the piano for over 10 years and just recently moved into a small studio apartment far from home for work. There was no way I could fit anything close to an acoustic piano in here. Your recommendation really saved my life. The key action is so freakin’ satisfying. It’s actually unreal for the price point. The sound is so crisp and accurate I almost thought it was a real piano. I can also wear headphones when I play at night, so I don’t disturb my neighbors. It really brightens up my mood after a dull and tiring day at work.

Great review. You cover many features I wouldn't have thought of. Kawai has done a superb job designing this model!

[@KevinR3i]

I've played many grand pianos from my very own GL20 157cm, to the RX2, RX7, GX5 and GX7, some Steinway D and Fazioli and Shigeru Kawai. To me this is the most satisfying digital piano for the price, the touch is the utmost important next to sound quality. I feel like playing an expensive grand piano with regulated action under my fingers. It feels really good playing ES120.

[@JeremySee]

Absolutely agree.

[@Pain4yourmind]

It’s a great piano but the only question I have is why would you buy this over the new P225? Yamaha as a company are more mature in the speaker production and I think the sound quality out of the box is superior because of this. Personal I know but I dont like the design as much as the Yamaha because it has a horrible raised plastic line across the whole keyboard which makes it look a little cheaper in my opinion but it’s not by any means ugly. I always thought the Kawai key action was their biggest selling point but I think Yamaha have caught up in that department and when you consider everything else like the speaker and sound quality, book stand and the far superior Yamaha app it’s not a difficult decision I think to chose the Yamaha.

[@paxwallace8324]

I play gigs all the time in coffee shop size venues I use my ES 920. I constantly receive compliments about the acoustic realism ! It's achieved through the amazing sound engine along with the company's outsourced Onkyo Custom Speakers.

I bought an ES 920 about 8 months ago and I completely agree with you on everything you said. This keyboard is top of the line and comes pretty close to the acoustic piano feel as far as electric keyboards go. Also the sound is very similar to an acoustic piano. Of course nothing compares to the real acoustic piano but this is still a great keyboard and certainly worth every penny

I've never practiced on an electric piano and bought this one after watching several reviews and also trying a number of them at the store. I'm not well versed in much of the terminology to make sense of the user manual. I know it would vary from each individual taste but it would be cool to see a video on how to mess around with settings to get the best sound possible out of the es120

Wow it's great to see your video here Jeremy, I love the valuable work you are doing. I think you can play on any keyboard and make them the best. Please help me, I'm an amateur music player who loves piano and VST sets, I don't have space to put a real piano, should I choose Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII or Kawai ES120 for the most realistic piano feel? Thank you and wish you health and lots of inspiration with music. Greetings from Hanoi, Vietnam.

[@olafschermann1592]

Owning the ES110 i am confident that the next iteration will be better again. BUT the price increase puts it into competition with the ES520 or ES920 which are different beasts.

Hello Jeremy! Thank you for a very nice review quite clearly indicating (one of) the best options to go for in the digital piano category in that price range! I am trying to find a comparison of this Kawai model with somewhat refreshed Yamaha P-225, with no luck so far... Have you had a chance to try this particular Yamaha model? Especially when it comes to comparing with Kawai ES120 from both piano (!) sound quality and the key action?

[@kaisiangst3658]

Thank you for the excellent video and recommendation! How does the key action of Roland digital keyboards compare in your opinion?

[@FancyPelicanRL]

Became immediately infatuated with the sound of this keyboard ever since I first watched this video, and have yet to find one that sounds quite like it. My only regret now is not pulling the trigger on it when it was still $899! Nevertheless, I'm hoping to have enough set aside to pick one of these up around Christmas🤞 Thank you for this beautiful demo showcasing the full capabilities of this incredible instrument! Can't wait to have one of my own in the (hopefully) near future.

Thank you for the information. I recently bought mine and am excited to try it out. Since I live in europe it's cheaper than the other comments that found the price to be close to 1k. I bought mine for around 654 usd ☺ and I even got a free kawai keyboard bag to boot. 😁

[@cristiannunez2117]

Thank you...useful ...

[@turvyjj9232]

I tried recently a Korg Liano and I liked the key action. Everybody was discouraging me, but I don't find it so different from Yamaha or Casio low mid series feeling. And sound is great, as it's weight and price.

[@ulrap1202]

I played this a few days ago at Sam Ash because I wanted to check out the action. It is good, but I didn't necessarily feel it was noticeably much better than the others such as Roland, Yamaha, Casio or Korg in the lower price range. Also I prefer a key surface that is smooth and not textured like the Kawai. The piano sounds are good but the other sounds are just okay. There was a used Korg Kross 2 88 for the same price in the store that I liked better. Smooth key surface, decent action, and many many far superior sounds.

[@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12]

The texture isn't permanent. Use it a lot and the texture gose away. That's what happened to my ES110🎹🎶

[@livejay9062]

I want a digital piano, but really have an aversion to many of the textured keys like the Kawaii has . I know that they are supposed to be better, but I can't get past the feel.

[@jarialanko8416]

beutifull sound.

[@jjacob25101]

This is an amazing keyboard and video review and demonstration, and excellent playing, as usual. This is perfect for players of any level, but particularly those professionally trained and experienced with all the nuances, feel and acoustical qualities and audio, as well as tactile resonance and audible feedback. The sounds are incredible, some almost angelic. The others, great for the standard instrument timbres. But especially the acoustic and electric piano tones. Now I want one for my home 88 note keyboard, and the Roland RD-88 for my church keyboard, or maybe better vise versa. I imagine this would shine at my church with the fine quality tones and the action, should we have proficient players visit our church, like our former keyboard player that moved to the mainland US, but comes back eventually, and have the RD 88 at home for my creative projects. I am by far not the most proficient, as to the familiarity to every minute detail of the keyboard action on the digital piano, but it's like a great, well designed, and engineered automobile that has all those capabilities at your disposal. It's great to have the real USB connection port as well as BT connectivity and the two headphone jacks at the right front of the keyboard, where they should be. I also love my Deep Sea Blue Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones like the ones you recommend that I got with my Casiotone CT-S1. Exception sound, quality, design and 3 cables for the price. I believe $200 USD is the sweet spot for great professional headphones without spending a lot more. I may even get the BT version in the near future to use with my Smartphones. I have to watch this video again now, just to hear the great quality of sounds on this instrument.

[@JeremySee]

I'm happy you got the AT headphones I recommend. Now we use the same pair of excellent cans! 😍

[@jjacob25101]

@@JeremySee There may be other comparable headphones at that price or much more expensive. Some are very expensive, at times using costly material, and sound ever better for discriminating ears, but I can't say anything bad or lacking about these, and always liked Audio-Technica headphones and microphones. Especially, in this color I have and the other special colors. And that they have a BT version of this model. The only minor thing I wish, not for the headphones themselves is to have the nice drawstring black vinyl case a little larger, taller.

I'm just between this ES120 and the Yamaha P125 for my daughter as a beginner piano. I'm more after the Kawai because of it's key touch and fidelity for gran piano sound, but i will use also connectivity with tablets and mobiles, and quality of speakers, although i will probably connect to amplified stereo speakers. Which one would you choose? I was also tempted with the massive capabilities of de Casio CPD-360, portability, lcd screen and battery operation, but i think that as a beginner piano, things like grand piano sound and key touch are the most important things to consider.

[@ft.valencio]

kawai 120 is the best pick for your daughter for sure 👍

[@bernardodiaz9428]

If you compare this one va fp 30x, which onewould be winner?

[@Zoco101]

I'm so glad that Kawai has done this! The ES110 needed replacing IMO. But if Kawai also made a 73 key version of this ES120, I and many others would buy it as a travel piano. With their fixation on competing for saturated markets, most manufacturers miss the niche markets every time. Accountants are running almost the entire music industry (without truly understanding it) and sometimes in their simplistic number crunching they are fools unto themselves. My congratulations to Yamaha which makes the only 73 key portable digital piano with a weighted and graded action (the P-121) and to Korg for doing the same with its SV2-73 stage piano. I'm not listing the few other 73 key digital pianos because they lack a graded action. Come on Kawai, get into this! PS Thanks for another great video Jeremy.

[@Elazarko]

The Studiologic Numa X Piano 73 seems really great i just wish it had built in monitors though.

[@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12]

I just hope they improved the build quality because it's a bit pricier then the ES110, and they removed the high quality F10H damper pedal🎹🎶

[@Zoco101]

​@@Elazarko I am interested in that Studiologic piano too. Speakers would be nice, but few stage pianos have those. What deters me more is that the action isn't graded at all, so the key resistance is uniform. It's probably helpful for playing basslines, but swing-bass/stride piano playing could get a bit lumpy. I'd love to try one, to see how much that matters to me, but where? I think most customers are buying blind on a sale/return policy.

[@toddo401]

Great review as always! You always give an honest and unbiased opinion of what you review. I currently have a Yamaha YC 88. It sounds great. The organ sounds even better. I've also owned a Yamaha DGX 650 as well as a Yamaha P 125. As advanced as the action on the YC88 is (according to Yamaha), I'm finding it to be more of a heavier action. In some strange way, in memory at least, I almost preferred the action on the P 125. I'm sure that I am the only person who thinks that. How would you compare the action of this Kawai ES 120 to that of the Yamaha YC 88. Are there any other Kawai keyboards that are perhaps less expensive than the ES 120? Thank you for any light you can shed on this subject!

[@theol1044]

Great video (as always), but could you please in the future make it clearer which alternatives in the description you refer to in the video? It's always difficult to identify which one(s) you meant, as the descriptions don't match what you are saying in the vids.

[@photographerjonathan]

This keyboard has me interested, right now I own an old Yamaha P70 electric piano that just suddenly stopped working. if I push the demo button it still plays different songs. so the speakers are still good but the keys are all dead. I opened it up but can't see anything obvious to fix. and I have been trying to find a repair place which isn't easy to find where I live. then I saw a video of yours about the best keyboard for $300 dollars. it seems very similar to my Yamaha p70, and I started to think maybe I should just buy a new electric piano. I already own a very old Triton work station but I don't like the piano sounds in it or the feel of the keys. then I came across this video for a keyboard that is around a thousand dollars. you say it has the top of the line grand piano sound. and excellent key action, but still call it entry level. how much does it cost to get something that you do not call entry level ? and what would be better or different about it ? I don't really consider myself a piano player like you are. but I like to write songs on the piano. and I just enjoy playing it. and I want the most realistic sounding piano I can get because I want to record on Logic Pro my new songs. and a bonus would be great super realistic strings. I only care about real instrument sounds. not synth sounds. even though if I had them I would play around with them, and a good keyboard feel. I like having speakers on the keyboard so I can play it without it being hooked up to anything else. but with the ability to record externally. also something that is simple to use. unlike this keyboard that you have to push a key and button at the same time looking at a piece of paper that you could lose. what would you recommend ? How many different piano sounds are in this Keyboard and is a grand piano sound good for rock music like Elton John. I would like something with many different piano sounds that are all really good. but I could also be happy with only one piano sound that just blew me away. also a full size keyboard.

I recall that the Roland had an impressively dynamic sample that would allow for the authentic "pop" and "growl" when played more aggressively and the Kawai ES-110 would always sound moderate even when played hard. As always, a great review and playing!

I own the ES110, xav80rx, and not the ES120 so I cannot answer your question. My ES110 was purchased 6 months ago and I knew and researched the ES120. I opted still for the ES110 as it's virtually identical, costs $200 less, and has a much better weighted pedal that has been downgraded in the ES120. So, if you can find one, the ES110 is exceptional.

@@Burps___ If they are almost identical why is the 120 15 pounds heavier than the 110?

That last song I don't recall ever hearing Aretha Franklin singing it, I heard it many times in church.

[@MoonlightHusky]

What would you raccomend between this and the kawai vpc1? I can find both at about the same price and I will use audio monitors anyway 😊

[@jeffrexsuaze9348]

I'm watching your keyboard reviews years from now, I'm wondering if you're able use them all.

[@sammcbride2149]

Excellent presentation. This is just the price point I'm shopping in for a new digital piano. I only play 15-30 minutes a day so spending a fortune wouldn't make much sense.

Glad it was helpful!

[@chiamakaonyedum6512]

Kindly advise Jeremy. I am entirely new to this piano, I don't even know what to look for. I want to buy a piano that will not require an upgrade too soon. Something that I can still enjoy after learning (from beginner to inter). After watching your reviews and from others too, I decided to go for Roland FP30X but then I saw your review on why fp30x is almost a perfect piano. I'm stuck with choosing between the Kawai ES 120 and FP30X. I would appreciate your advice on the best beginner to buy that will not require an upgrade too soon

[@DanielNistrean]

@JeremySee Thanks for the useful video. You said you'll leave an alternative to this Piano in video description. I didn't find it.

[@alashiya9536]

I have the ES-110. Do you think it's worth upgrading?

[@davidwelborn518]

Excellent video and excellent review

[@JeremySee]

Glad you liked it

[@davidwelborn518]

@@JeremySee you almost have me convinced to buy the Kawai, but I'm most likely going to get a Yamaha P125A, and that is after seeing another of your videos on the topic 🙂

[@jillmarschall3277]

Will they ever make a keyboard cover for this piano as I'm will be buying this piano.

[@miralirica3238]

Like the others i also am curious how the Kawai ES120 compares to the Roland FP-30x in terms of value for money. Thanks!

[@dwayne_dibley]

It’s ultimately all down to preference really. I have an mp7se exclusivelyfor me but use an fp10 in the lounge to teach the kids and beginners. Still using Ivory for sounds.

[@David-uq1qb]

Which one is better? This keyboard or the roland fp 30x?

[@aghangabrelyan7950]

Please tell me which instrument sounds better Yamaha psr sx600 or Medeli akx10

[@ML-pt8oo]

what is the difference in the sound of fp30x and es120 pianos if you listen through the built-in speakers. I can't choose between them for my daughter

[@See_Sharp]

Is the Kawai KDP120 worth the price, or should I just go for this ES120 with stand?

[@miguelangelroncanciolozano7430]

when kawai es120 VS roland fp 30x VS Yamaha P-225? i will love this video, thanks very good content, greetings from Colombia, south america.

[@thecatmafia9244]

Do you know what is the best keyboard for $500? By the way great review videos and your piano playing is insane.

[@LeeJCander]

If they were the same price wood you go with the Kawai es120 or Roland FP30X?

[@watchtheskies]

Hi Jeremy, I use Pianoteq for the sounds, so purely based on realistic piano feel, would you choose the Kawai ES-120 over the Roland FP-30X?

[@adriansmithmusic]

Did you end up going with the Kawai or Roland in the end? I'm still debating which to buy.
