As beginner started from inexpensive keyboards .
You get what you pay for.
End up with Kawai ES920. Really happy now.
And yes. I am beginner.

Mr. Jeremy See, you are a saviour. Whether it's luck or faith, but you helped me through every piano/keyboard purchase I made, and just when I was looking for an upgrade to my Yamaha PSR E-W310 to a digital piano, I came across your video today.
I appreciate your presence on YouTube, and the great insightful, and tastefully delivered reviews and comparisons that in my opinion are unmatched by any other content creator in this area.

Many thanks for the awesome content, and wish you more progress and prosperity.

Yamaha must consider and redesign the piaggero series by repositioning the speakers 🔊 on top or at the back so that the piaggero series will have a shorter length and could easily be placed across its length at the back row sit or the car boot.

At least in Europe it's now a chance to grab the previous models, they are so much cheaper. The 76 key NP-32 is about 70 euros cheaper than the 61 key NP-15. The 61 key model NP-12 is about 170 euros only. But I understand if someone really wants to have the latest. It seems the new models have actual improvements. However I can not see the point for the NP-35. Price is similar to P125, P121 which have real weighted keyboards.

I'm a beginner, I'm trying to decide between this keyboard and the Donner-88. Thank you sir for your videos and knowledge

[HansOvervoorde]

The pianos sound insanely good on my 1000XM4 headphones! Truly impressive for its price. Thank you for sharing!

[MERCEDES-BENZSGUARD_V]

In my opinion yes if you are a beginner playing on weighted keys can be hard, but eventually after playing on them for a wile you get use to it. In my opinion it's beter to start on a weighted keyboard than having to adjust your technique later because you have become use to non weighted keys🎹🎶

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a digital piano which such realistic sound, especially at this price point. This will definitely be on my Christmas list.

I've always had my eyes on the Piaggero 32 when I was in the 200-300 range before the Liano came out. The new Piaggero looks intriguing, but I'm happy with my DGX 660. Great vid Jeremy.

My choice was a Keystation88 semi-weighted M-Audio masterkeyboard with no sounds. I hook it to a Roland SD50 or a miniEngine Midiplus and it's equally portable. I specifically went for a masterkeyboard because I like to play outdoors in the garden and it's light to move around with no sound module or speakers and usb powered.

[jordanlivesey]

its been a while, I got my hands on a casio ctk1150 keyboard and I am impressed with it despite having sounds from the early 2000s when compared to my 17 year old ctk495

[ElectroTone]

This 76 key model is hardly smaller than a full 88 key bed. The two speakers at the ends adds unnecessary width for no good reason. The NP-35 has a total width of 126 cm, while the 88 key Korg Liano is at 128.2 cm.

[davidperry]

I got the Yamaha P-45. Love that thing.

[charleslitt]

Thanks Jeremy for the update a 76key semi weighted is a plus.

[dalecsaunders]

Hi Jeremy. I had to go to another site to get view of the entire keyboard. I would prefer if the configuration was extended on the lower notes so that you had Low A to High E, instead of Low C to High G, since I use the low notes more that the extreme high notes, however I do not know of any manufacturer that takes this into consideration. Thank you for your continuing work on these reviews.

[heh.]

So I'm contemplating between Yamaha Piaggero NP 15 and Casiotone CT S1, I'm mostly just looking for good classic piano sound, and the quality of keys, what would you recommend?

[blackterminal]

Let it not be left unsaid that you play the piano beautifully Jeremy. Thanks for the video.

[briaharris]

7:46 what song did you play here? It's beautiful by your gifted hands

[Marklasw]

As a classical trained pianist, it is super hard to choose digital piano for home practice……
