Keyboard Battle - Yamaha P45 vs Casio PX160

[@OnzeManInKazakhstan]

Some say his teachers never thought he could be a functioning member of society. Some say his only knowledge of the alphabet is the letters A to G. All we know is... he's called Jack.

[@stsgabe]

based solely on the above video, I believe this to be a true statement,

[@bricology]

I really liked the bit he was playing when he went 'round "Gambon", and two of the keys went off the edge of the tarmac.

[@likeanuuk6612]

i think i'm conditioned to prejudge guys who wear such hats.

[@NeZversSounds]

Casio sounds like it's pre-processed - noticably more high end on piano. Sound like it would perform better in live mix

[@Kenoji8]

No contest. Casio is MILES better. Thanks for this comparison. I figured what to get before watching the video, but this solidified it 100%.

[@محمدالخلفي-ط1ل]

In Reality Yamaha better 😅

[@archivosecreto5253]

Normal piano No.1 CASIO is better. 2:42 Electric piano No.2 YAMAHA is better 4:24 😭😭😭

[@christianschuppers7550]

You should call this series 'Keyboard Warriors'

[@vincentslusser9205]

this video helped me make my decision for the Casio. Thank you.

[@samiam5557]

Keyboard corner YEAH! Digging on the jams, and dig the cool tee shirt Jack. Always find yer reviews educational and fun.

[@richardhuckle5715]

Casio does sound slightly better, but is the Yamaha more authentic in sounding like a standard piano ?

[@p3rrypm]

Richard Huckle No, the P45 was low end for this line of Keyboards and they didn't bother to give it any of the sampling of its bigger brothers. Had it for a week and quickly returned it for a higher end CDP-700 Casio.

[@JekiJeksen]

how to lower the tone or raise the scale on the p45 yamaha piano?

[@michael69040]

Nice and fair comparison- Both are winners!

[@RnBLover1997]

Casio is clearly superior here imo. The "warm" Yahama has a muddy low definition sound. That muddy warm pillow sound is appealing to people who has very bass heavy headphones or just never listens to music in decent hi fi headphones. I might be wrong about that but I wouldn't be surprised if that generally is the case. If one wants clear details and a more pronounced dynamic when playing, then the choice between these two must be the Casio. But in the end, who cares, whatever makes you happy I guess.

[@CAPTAIN_CLOCK]

i prefer the yamaha one. casio has too much treble, tries wayy too hard to recreate the hammers sounds

[@charliesalter3744]

@@CAPTAIN_CLOCK definitely, the casio sounds way more artificial and flat.

[@carstenhansen5757]

Thanks Jack! I'm glad I ordered the Yamaha.

[@SuperSilun]

i know this might be a long-shot of a suggestion: I'd love if you guys would invite all the reviewers for ALL instruments to jam together sometime

The Neil Peart comment was mint lol. Rush Lives on

[@fredngeorge4eva]

He is INCREDIBLE! He could be a comedian. Never thought comparing these 2 products would be such a joy.

[@guillermomeschini]

Hay detalles que no pueden verse en el video y que son importantes: el PX160 tiene mas potencia en los parlantes 8W cada uno contra 6W del P45. Otra de las ventajas del Px160 es que tiene mas capas de sensibilidad en la tecla, por lo tanto se logran mejores matices. Y otro dato interesante es el acabado Simil madera que tiene el PX160 en las teclas. Saludos! Muy buen video!

[@elnumeroprimo2900]

Tienes el casio? Me interesa pero he escuchado que con el tiempo las teclas empiezan a hacer ruidos molestos y con el tiempo digo meses incluso semanas, el ruido es algo normal en pianos digitales pero me preocupa que pase tan rapido.

[@MARKW8869]

Just bought the Casio from Andertons and the keyboard on the px160 is absolutely outstanding. It was the clear winner for a graded weighted hammer action. Sounds are great too. Well worth the money.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Props to this guy for holding it down all his own. Nice demo!

[@Hlebka]

I preferred the Yamaha - the grand piano tones sounded more like a real piano to my ears and the other sounds were more lush, full, and pleasing. i guess it's just down to personal preference. Yamaha sounds more authentic, whereas Casio sounds more like the post-produced piano sound from a pop/rock song, The PX160 has this terribly unpleasant brittly high end.

[@irodragon7184]

beware the casio has a very common problem of the keys being really loud and some of them being so loud that you could swear they have no felt also some keys can just be super bright for no reason i would avoid the casio

[@louishateley]

Absolute legend! Love these vids dude! Amazing the difference between the two set of key boards. Comparatively where one is better at classic piano (Casio) the other is better at the synth (Yamaha) best to just buy both!!!

[@acielletleubekova]

What's the name and who's the composer of the composition played at 5:18?

[@lwiding1404]

Toccata and Fugue in D minor - Johan Sebastian Bach

[@mikebreler9724]

The PX160 has the 3 sensor keys but does it really make a difference in the dynamic range when playing soft? Thanks

[@jsprite123]

Hmmm...when the Yamaha is played, it is being done rather softly. When the Casio is played, it is banged on. That would make a big difference in sound.

[@p3rrypm]

jsprite123 No, the P45 has horrible EQ output and speakers I returned it for a CPG-700 and that had quality control issues so I ended up with a DGX-660, it’s okay but the Casio A.i.R. Sampling is better than anything Yamaha, until you hit the newer Clavinovas.

[@joemurray]

be useful to hear your opinion whether you think it's worth the extra money

[@allusanchez4206]

I think the casio sounded better... great vid sir!

[@likeanuuk6612]

totally agree. except electric piano 2.

[@allusanchez4206]

Yup, maybe not that one ahaha if only I can afford ahaha

[@Mezurashii5]

Except for the bleep.

[@frozenwizardgaming]

For me casio is too bright and a bit sharp, p45 is more softer and great for calming and relaxing

[@ReactarooSkidoo]

I like the Piano sounds on the Casio and the electric sounds on the Yamaha. I know that the Casio can be used as a midi Keyboard so thats the one i'm getting. I like the idea of using it to trigger Kontakt libraries

[@matthewgodkin3714]

Outro is Chopin's Nocturne No.2 Op.9 in E-flat

[@pedramarmano4859]

Dude maybe if I was as funny as you (and had guns like yours LOL), people would like my playing more. Great videos from last year. More keyboard battles please.

[@stuartcarden1371]

I seem to be alone in preferring the sound of the P-45. It sounds like you're playing an acoustic piano, whereas the Casio sounds much more processed and a little artificial. The Casio will cut through beautifully in a band mix but, as a home player, I find the warmth and smoothness of the Yamaha much more appealing.

[@SecretZoolevel]

I got the P45 and it seem very quiet..Should I return it for the other one? It it's internal speakers louder? Cause the P45 is so quiet its aggravating me.

[@grandbluepianistofthesky9469]

Both brands are good, but the Casio was a little bright for my taste.

[@davidbaez8442]

The Casio wins clearly, its sound is more defined and the Yamaha sounds more muddy because it lacks definition. This indicates that Casio's AiR chip processes sounds with a higher resolution.

[@josefvr3315]

how do you amplify the yamaha p45? thanks in advance.

[@huibui5004]

I dont mind the Sound of the Pianos because i will use it as a midi, but wich of those two has the better Feel to it when you play ist? The Casio got 3 Sensor hammer, and ivory.. what do you think?

[@hbakereph]

Hi, thanks so much for the demo! What's the song played to test the second sound (Grand Piano 2)?

[@SnakeDelta]

Casioooooo all day long got a richer warmer, in depth sound, why thank you

[@bradleymcclelland5444]

SNAKE DΞLTA yeah it won hands down sounded so nice

[@SnakeDelta]

yes sir , even if i had just walked into the kitchen door and slightly dazed, would still buy the casiooooo, and i don't even play , got ears like a badger 0-o

[@geoffwebber8272]

Why is it ONLY 9 mins long?

[@cameroncrowley1226]

:(

[@andertons]

So you don't have to spend an hour watching it :-)

[@geoffwebber8272]

Yes - but the whole point of Andertons Videos is that we watch them for entertainment as well as education. I cannot play a note on any thing, but still love the videos - they make me laugh. I do, however, love music and (great) musicians.

[@andertons]

We have another 1300 videos for you to watch, at least 10 of them are funny :-).....

[@likeanuuk6612]

wouldve liked to hear more sounds :(

[@adaezenjoku7527]

My opinions on pianos concert grand- casio wins, I feel the casio is more clear cut and has better dynamic 2nd piano- yamaha wins, although the casio has 5 piano presets total so you'll probably find another of those you like better than the yamaha and modern piano preset he used for in this video. For example if you don't like the casio's bright sound, there's an option to turn it off or you can choose the mellow piano preset. Modern Piano has always been to bright for me anyway Electric Piano 1- a tie, they have only very small differences Electric Piano 2- Casio wins, I just like the way it sounds better Organ 1- I'm feeling the yamaha for this one Strings- Casio by far, I feel it has much more emotion In my opinion, casio px 160 is better. Also, it has more features and a wider range of dynamics and the casio has a higher polyphony. 128 notes vs the yamahas 64 notes . I went to the store today and tried both of these pianos. I tried the yamaha and disliked it but the casio felt so much better and sounded much better too. But the Yamaha has its strengths and is a great piano.

[@mikebreler9724]

Which of these two seams to have the most dynamic range with the key touch when playing soft? Thanks

[@JairajSinghPatil]

Why not just take the raw sound out of the piano and mute the mic of the player? the Yamaha was distorting and phasing a bit too because of the dual sound

[@spenzo144]

What song are you playing in the beginning? A Michael McDonald song? Which one?! I must know. Thanks.

[@Justin.Franks]

I preferred the piano sound on the Yamaha. The Casio sounded a bit too bright and thin for my tastes; the Yamaha is warmer and richer.

[@tnbtran_]

Justin Franks yeah I have t same thought like you. I think the piano sound on Casio is too bright @@

[@benjaminsmith2287]

The notes sustain much, much longer on the Yamaha. Although overall it may seemed subdued, it's more balanced. Casio is workable, however.

[@comboyx1977]

@Charlie Charlie Yamaha brand name more familiar for a piano. PX160 has 128 polyphony and 8W speakers, Yamaha has 64 and 6W speakers. So yeah Casio sounds more monstrous.

[@caitlynmartin5969]

Great vid

[@ajaxqt]

In my country they're both the same price. Which one should I get?

[@pspiyush52]

If you want a softer sound go for the yamaha and if you want a crisp sound go for the casio.

[@Deleted_user982]

Why no harpsichord?

[@elcaprichodelduende1279]

Yamaha sounds more authentic, whereas Casio sounds more like the post-produced piano sound from a pop/rock song.

[@elcaprichodelduende1279]

Wurlitzer is better on the Casio, IMHO

[@elcaprichodelduende1279]

Strings and classical organ are definitively better on the Yamaha...

[@ian757]

Hey Jack. I phoned the shop with a query about buying a. Keyboard and I asked for Jack in keyboards and they said, 'We don't have a Jack working in keyboards.' So are you solely their TV presenter or do you actually sell the odd keyboard as well? 😀

Roland Juno DS88 VS Yamaha MX88.. Same price, Make it Happen =D

[@samiam5557]

Both sound fab, Yamaha has my vote for best though.

Casio PX160 is great but price is closer to p115 :(

[@arturogarcia8574]

Could you make a comparison between Yamaha YDP 143 and Korg LP 380? I've been looking for it, but I haven't had luck :T

[@Lael128]

If all sounds were in one box, that would be awesome. I already know of some songs that would require the Yamaha compressed piano, and others would sound awesome with the sparkly Casio piano... the struggle.

[@Past_Worlds]

The Casio does sound imensly better than the P45, I think the P45 sounds amazing for the price. I mean, £200 cheaper?

[@olivedrah]

Yamaha P-45 Electric Piano sounds too very synthetic voice and Casio PX160 Electric Piano sounds a more charming/jazzy voice. But the Yamaha Grand Piano sounds gorgeous and bulky. On design Casio seems better and easy to manage and some more fuunctions. Who is better??? It's upon you.

[@eshurl3211]

I wish they talked a little more about the feel of the keys in these kinds of videos

[@dafanaufal7154]

My opinion: P45 : - grand piano voice so cool - nothing fade in/out in strings voice Casio px 160: - grand piano voice like real by the reverb - fade in and out in strings voice Px 160 the better because if we look the price is expensive then yamaha p45.. 🙏

[@lnambz]

What was the song at the beginning?

[@JairajSinghPatil]

PLS DO MORE OF THESE! PX560M VS DGX 660 and FP30

[@fortepiano4491]

1. Casio has stellar piano sounds, beats the Yamaha's by a bit. Yamaha's Electric Pianos are unmatched. Hands down winner for both 1 and 2. 3. Organ was fairly similar, but Yamaha was heavier down low. Personal preference here. 4. Odd! Yamaha is more percussive, but that's not a drawback. Casio is more soft and gradual in tone. Overall, Yamaha for people who do more live pop or funk gigs. Casio would do it for more classical playing. (i.e Mozart, Beethoven.)

[@محمدالخلفي-ط1ل]

No just recoding flawed

[@rickhand8392]

The Casio sounds a lot better, very good complete tone coverage 20-20k excellent timber and tone compared to the Yamaha !! Very impressive for a watch maker !! The Casio is far superior !!

[@stsgabe]

used on ebay the casio is almost double tho, so you could probably get the next up yamaha for the same price as the casio

[@nuri7106]

[@nuri7106]

With stand by the way

[@calvinyip364]

yamaha takes the win , i just ordered the p45 and seeing this review i think i make a right decision the yamaha i mean sound so full. The casio is like robotic like if you hear closely.But the String on the casio is awesome sounding and it wins the yamaha.

I've been playing Assisted Living Facilities for several years and I got the CASIO PX-160 day one! It ROCKS. I play classical music and ragtime and the sound is AMAZING. I have practically stopped ever using a facility's piano (even BRAND NEW Baby Grands). Thrilled with the feel of the action and the sound is spot on for a Bosendorfer (that was the main sampling). I have played on a Bosendorfer in Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis...AMAZING. Only problem is it is far north of $100K!!
