Great job. Let me ask you: How do you turn the pages of the notes on your tablet and why do you prefer a kawai es 920 with external vst cfx instead of a yamaha p515 with internal cfx, for example?

[@markfowlermusic]

I'm not using a page turner, don't understand your last question sorry about that.

[@Leles_]

what do i think of the es920?

[@xBuzza333x]

Thanks for staying active Mark ! You're my fav. piano youtuber with Patrik Pietschmann

[@markfowlermusic]

Yes i dont stop ost, this was just an Xmas present 😊😊

[@tenonakin9237]

Great playing, thanks! I see you have a Kawai ES920. How does it compare to a real acoustic piano? Would you recommend it for developing classical piano playing skills? Or would the extra investment in a real acoustic piano still be better to develop from late beginner to around intermediate level ? Thanks again !

[@markfowlermusic]

It has a very fast and nimble action ideal for advanced classical repertoire, in learning la Campanella on it and it does fine, however it has a very noticeable let off bumper and short pivot point so you’d have to try it first to see if you like the action, I prefer longer keys and pivot point like on the kawai ca99 or the new models ca701 and 901, however the RH3 action on the es920 is still faster but less comfortable to play, it’s all about money of course, you pay more for a nicer feeling action at the end of the day.

[@markfowlermusic]

Also this is not the audio of the es920, I use a vst plug in called garritan cfx for this performance. It has a superior recording sound. But the es920 is still good in that respect, but garritan beats any digital piano sound on the market for recording purposes.

[@tenonakin9237]

@@markfowlermusic Thanks for the answer !

[@TuhinTulsyan]

My aim is just to learn to play by hear. Will it be better if I buy a digital piano like Roland fp30 or a midi keyboard with 88 weighted keys?

[@markfowlermusic]

If just only to learn by ear I guess any cheap midi keyboard yeah, but it's nice to have something like fp30 in case you get more interested in piano.

[@TuhinTulsyan]

@@markfowlermusic I am very interested in music. I love hans Zimmer and other movies soundtracks. I started guitar in my college but could never learn to play by ear 😭 I was introduced to PIANO by Patrik & Peter buka's covers and loved it. I tried piano on mobile apps and found I could play it better. Thus sold my guitars and when I stepped in store for keyboard, options confused me so much I can back home without buying anything 😭

[@markfowlermusic]

@@TuhinTulsyan well i know alot about pianos and digital pianos/keyboards. There's nothing wrong with getting a Roland fp30 or yamaha p45, they are budget models, entry level pianos, a decent investment to learn music on I'd say.

[@tuele4302]
