The ES920 is 11.5 lbs lighter than either the P515 or the Kawai ES8. I don't think Kawai was just trying to cut corners. I for one appreciate the lighter weight as I do a lot of moving around with my portable.
@1976gerbel2 жыл бұрын
If you are looking for something to move around often, these are probably the wrong instruments to start with. This is more a home piano for people with little space and as a second instrument for playing with headphones. The build quality from Kawai was never very good. Had some issues with my es8. At least is had a metal build.

What do you think about the RD2000 compared to these 2? I could get a used one for the same price, but I heard that the stock profiles don't sound that great unless you mod the v-piano sound to your liking. I'd mostly use it at home for practicing and live loops in combination with Ableton live

I went into Yamaha London to try it on Sunday. They had two left in stock. On Monday, I rang to order - they've all sold out, and now it is a wait until the end of July! I really liked it though. I've read so much about the "heavy action", but it was absolutely fine (I usually play a Yamaha U1 acoustic). Yamaha have a lot of pianos and keyboards there in their flagship store. Broadly speaking, it felt the same as some nearby Clavinovas, but it was a little heavier than a baby grand. It should be emphasised that "heavy" doesn't mean leaden, unresponsive or slow (as can be heard from JPS's playing!). It is just the initial pressure. My friend has a Roland digital upright, and I thought that it felt a bit light compared to what I was used to! As usual - you have to try these things for yourself.

Hi James, Thank you so much for this review. As you probably know I have waited a long time for you to do this comparison. The ES920 has been out in the UK for a couple of months now, similar price to the p515. I think you have done both pianos good reviews and I think it really is a matter of personal choice. I can only say to all who are interested in buying either one, go and try them, if possible side by side because it really is a matter of preference. My personal favourite is the Yamaha p515, but that's my choice. Thanks again for a brilliant review, by a most talented pianist. Just keep them coming.

I have an ES8, enjoy it. Not a fan of Yamaha's. Don't know if I would buy a ES 920, as the ES8 definitely has a more sound structure. However, it weighs close to 50 lbs as does the p515. The ES920 only weighs around 38 lbs. That is the goal of the plastic structure it would seem to make the weight more useful for a gigging musician. Something to be considered in deciding between the two.

Thank you James for this review. Both instruments are at comparable level. I think that the Kawai has better stage qualities. It is 5 kg lighter than the Yamaha, which is better for your back when traveling around. And the Kawai has a special line out for the stage sound engineer. I wish that all stage piano's had that feature. I use my digital as a side piano for my grand piano. My piano friend and I play a lot of repertoire with two piano's. Then tuning is very important. The tuning on the Kawai is in 0.5 hertz steps. The tuning of the Yamaha is in 0.2 hertz steps. For me, the winning argument for the Yamaha P-515.

But some of the sounds, like the bösendorfer. There is just no match for that. That one is so good. And strange enough the guitar. I love that sound. But other than that there pretty much alike. You already mentioned that the sounds, and effects, can be altered in both of them but the standard autopan of the Kawai is just to strong in my tast. So, the p515 still stands.

I’m stuck between these 2 regarding the keybed action. I’ve gotten acclimated and like the heavy action from my Roland FP30. So I’m sure the Yamaha P515 will be similar. But with the ES920 being lighter action, is it too light or does it feel like a semi-weighted? No stores around me have the ES920 in stock for me to test. The key action for me is the deciding factor between these two.

Dunno where it'll get ya but fun to watch! 😄 With regards to the audio, any thoughts(value/worth it) of adding a Yamaha KS-SW100 keyboard subwoofer to help bring out the bass without the distortion? Would you add a subwoofer before monitors? Would love your thoughts on the Yamaha Smart Pianist app to better relieve "menu diving". Of what I saw, it was pretty impressive. Have you ever considered reviewing the Kawai VPC1 with a good virtual piano sample set like Ravenscroft 275? So, which is better? Maybe too close to call but I'm eagerly awaiting my P515.

This is as I thought it would be with James giving a fair and very comprehensive review of these two instruments. I agree, it's all about preference regardless as to whoever comments one is better than the other. They've very comparable. To my ears, Kawai has tweaked the SK-EX sound engine and it seems to have a lighter bodied sound than the ES8. Maybe the aim was for more brightness and clarity? I'm not sure. Or maybe they changed the defaults. I'm OK with the piano feeling less substantial because the weight is down significantly. The P515 sounds stronger than ever here it's just that Yamaha has come out with the CLP700 series and this model is a slab version of the CLP645. The CLP745 has enhancements, sound engine and sound modeling enhancements over the already nice ones in the CLP645. Therefore I'm not sure if I'd want to get the P515 or wait for its successor. And if you do wait for the P515's successor, how long will that be?

James, Overall the Kawai has a lighter(thinner?) more flexible sound which lends itself to Pop, Jazz funk etc. The Yamaha is more stolid, not stuffy, the sound is just more there for you in most cases. It can carry you more realistically through classical compositions. I think Debussy's, "the Maid With the Flaxen Hair" would sound better on the Kawai whereas, a more complex piece like Claire de Lune needs the heavier(thicker?) sound of the Yamaha. What do you think? Cheers, Rik Spector

@hugobite3 жыл бұрын
I don't have ES8... ES920 may be a minor updated to ES8. But simply, I think the pros of ES920 over ES8 is (1) Less Weight (2) Four Virtual Technician addition ( cabinet Resonance, undamped string, etc). (3) Real time Equalizer four band EQ. (4) Better external sound system, more powerful, onko. Although the only cons I think of ES920 over ES8 yeah it is more plastic. But, since ES920 is my frst DP & only cost $1000 here (Indonesia, same island with the kawai manufacture factory) For me, I think this is more worth than P515 or ES8. I ever tried Yamaha DP it is too heavy, since I am generally not a professional pianist (self learned). Kawai action is easier to be controlled & expressive for me, to do some trill example... But I also like Yamaha grand piano sound from my old keyboard psr e313, I like Yamaha sound for pop /rock song, meanwhile kawai for classic/jazz/blues. Warm piano sound on ES920 is the closest sound tone to Yamaha grand piano from my old PSR E313 keyboard I think...

The more expensive digital pianos with wooden keys usualy make less noise and are more (close to) natural to play. As you can see and hear in this video, Kawai Es plastic keys makes more noise and is disturbing your play when you want to play quiet clasical pieces, vs the Yamaha's P515 wooden keys wich are way more quieter and more plesant play/feel. But i would still not reccomend Yamaha, they put too much EQ (boosted mid freq) on the piano samples wich makes them un-natural soundig on upper octaves. Other good digital pianos with wooden keys is Roland FP 90 and the Kawai MP 11. (Kawai MP 7 has plastic keys) Still before buying one, is best to go to a store and test to see wich one has acceptable noise-action for you.

Good build quality is also important for reselling. It’s just more durable. I do love the Kawai sound more than the Yamaha. I think it will be a choice between the MP7se and the P515.

The change in build from the ES8 to the ES920 is a little frustrating. If it hadn't been for that change the ES920 was going to be an easy choice for me. Now it's more difficult. I would also love to see James do as detailed a look at the P515 action (key weight etc, his perspective on the other discussions out there) as he did in the Casio drama recently.

take a look at the mp7se if you want Kawai's steel cased version I think they did it on purpose to save weight a little easier on your back.
