Comparison KORG GRAND STAGE, YAMAHA CP88, DEXIBELL VIVO S9 PRO, CASIO PX S3000

[OCcanUsee]

This is literally the first I've heard of Dexibel. That has to be the closest emulation of a real piano in my listening experience. I have been leaning towards the Yamaha CP88, but now, oh, oh, oh. Also, the expressiveness in this young woman's playing is absolutely superb. Well done.

Me surpreendi grande mente conta qualidade da Casio, uma proximidade com um piano acústico foi o que percebi. Gostei muito, um som muito agradável. VIVO DEXIBELL s9 em primeiro lugar e em segundo, Casio.

For me, Yamaha just edges out the Dexibell. The Dexibell sounds a bit too mid-forward, whereas the Yamaha sounds more full and dynamically versatile. The Yamaha's CFX Grand, which is one of the piano options with the CP88, is among the most renowned pianos ever built and is found in top concert halls all over the world.
Also, the Dexibell lives in the price neighborhood of a Nord. For that money you could get a Clavinova.
The Casio - WOW! CASIO??? When I was younger those things were sold in the TOY sections of department stores. They've come a very long way, baby. I cannot believe how rich and full this one sounds. If I couldn't afford the others, Casio is the best sound for the money, hands down.
The Korg is ... well ... uninspiring compared to the others in this demo. But it's not designed to sit on a large stage playing Rachmaninov and Chopin. It's designed to sit in a contemporary band or church, and it serves that purpose very well.

We must remember that unless we are playing with the Vienna Symphony, most of our audience will not have the same discriminating ears that we have. Any of these 4 serve their purpose excellently. The important differences are not the sound or timbre of the pianos, but the touch, durability and overall ease of use of the keyboard.

This way of comparing all models side by side playing the same track is just the best! 👍🏻

[chrisbart]

The velocity curve on the Casio is by default. The best setting is the curve of the Ab7 key. Once again, and what players never do, is to change the settings to get the best of the instrument.

[bloemundude]

That must be one of those super-special S9's that reads "S7" on the back.

[TylerLore]

It sounds like she's using the Bright German Grand on the Grandstage. The Dynamics knob is turned off in the video, but you can still adjust the velocity curve through the settings menu. Curious if they changed something. My Grandstage doesn't sound this flat. She's a very expressive player and you couldn't hear any of that through the Grandstage. Something is definitely off.
The Vivo sounds fantastic. I'm really excited to see where Dexibell is in a few years. Right now their keyboards just don't have enough variety in their sound bank for me. I'm sure they will get there!

I had the feeling every piano is a mood just have to pick one that fits this mood.

[gunterfrank]

very interesting, thank you very much. So I closed my eyes and listened. I imagined sitting right next to an acoustic grandpiano and that impression gave me the Dexibel. I hear the wood, the vibrations the dust. Very close simulation. The others are good but not that close. But in a band context I can imagine that the CP comes better trough the mix.

[reikamaria]

From this video (on the other one, I had a different ranking, since they were clearly different piano presets). 1- Dexibell. Breathtaking. Beautiful. As a real piano sound. 2- Casio. Yes. Casio. It has more depth and dimension than Yamaha. 3- Yamaha. Nice digital piano ... that's the problem. It does sound digital. 4- Korg. No comments. Simply unnaceptable for a classical piano sound.

[Omi.pizarro.tec_teclas]

excelente comparación!!! mi top en base a su sonido: VIVO S9 PRO, CP88, PXS3000 y ultimo lugar GrandStage, WOW!!

[MrPietro]

What was her impression about these stage pianos? And which was her favorite?

[wagneradrianodesouzasantos]

Concertesa os pianos não são editados, são de fabrica " imaginem o piano editado do Casio pxs-3000 que já é em sua essência ponderado e realístico....

[Yochanangp]

Dexibel. Absolute sound. Congratulations.

[NguyenHuyenVu]

Yamaha CP88 is the way to go. Korg Grandstage in this video sounds worse than what I recall.

[ignacioecheverri]

what is the name of that classical piece??

[aibriene]

Korg sounds like a Yamaha DGX 530's Live Grand Piano :D

[philippewills]

Very nice comparison…. Dexibell and Casio are, for me, the best simulation. Others deliver bad resonances…

[TheSissin]

That’s an excellent comparison. Thanks. I’d love to hear you play live.

[jumpingman]

Dexibell sounds like it has chorus on it
Korg was too bright
Yamaha sounded nice
Quite surprised with the Casio, though it sounded dull on the lower octaves. But I tend to enjoy dark sounding pianos.
