#Yamaha #Casio #DigitalPiano
Hi everyone, and welcome to another digital piano shootout video here at the Merriam Pianos KZbin channel. In this video, we’ll be comparing the Casio PX-770 and the Yamaha DGX-660.
While these instruments are very different from one another, we’ve decided to do a video comparing them since they actually cost almost the same. If you’re shopping in and around the $800 USD price range, you’ll inevitably come across these two models, so we hope this comparison video is helpful.
If this is the first time to the Merriam Pianos channel, please subscribe, we’d really appreciate the support.
Background:
As mentioned above, despite the similar price points, these pianos are hugely different from one another in terms of functionality, features and intended application. The PX-770 is a traditional, home digital piano, as it’s fairly limited when it comes to features, and is rather focused on tone production, piano action and the cabinetry. The DGX-660 on the other hand functions as an arranger keyboard, meaning it’s loaded with features.
Some folks might compare the features of these two instruments and assume right off the bat that the DGX-660 is the better buy since it has so much more functionality. For some, this will be accurate, but for many others, this is not the case and the PX-770 will actually be a better buy, depending on the needs of the user.
Piano Action:
Starting with the PX-770, the action featured here is Casio’s 88-key, Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II, Simulated ebony and ivory keys. This is an action featured throughout the Casio lineup, and you can actually find this action in some much more expensive models. The action features a triple sensor, textured keytops, and it’s much quieter than Casio’s first version of this action.
The DGX-660 features Yamaha’s Graded Hammer Standard keyboard (GHS.) This is one of the more simple actions Yamaha makes, with a more basic double sensor and no texturing on the keytops. This isn’t a bad key-action by any means, but the PX-770’s triple sensor action offers a better and more authentic experience, and would definitely be more accurate with regards to MIDI output.
If you’re considering a digital piano and you plan on primarily using it for personal piano playing in the home and are not looking for arranger or accompaniment features, the PX-770 would be a better choice for these purposes.
Cabinetry:
The DGX-660 comes with a stand, but it does not come with a triple pedal unit. The PX-770 comes with a more substantial cabinet, and includes an integrated triple pedal system. Again, for anyone looking for an instrument for mainly solo piano playing in the home, the PX-770 offers a better package out of the box for these purposes.
Piano Sound:
In terms of the piano sound we really venture into subjective territory. Some folks will like the sound of the DGX-660 better, while others will prefer the PX-770. Rather than say too much more about this, I’ll play both side-by-side so you can compare and form your own conclusions as to preference.
Speakers:
The speakers are fairly evenly matched with 16 watts of power on the PX-770, versus 12 watts on the DGX-660. It’s pretty difficult to really hear a difference in power when playing them side-by-side.
Conclusions:
If you’re looking for a digital piano with tons of features and functionality that’s still 88 keys and touch sensitive, the DGX-660 is one of the only options in this price point and is definitely worth considering. If the features don’t matter to you and you’re focused primarily on the piano experience itself, the PX-770 is probably a better option for you. Thanks for watching!
