Having bought the P125 for my grandkids back in 2019 and last year the DGX670 for myself, the DGX is well worth the extra $250. I bought mine for $800 USD, when DGX first came out. I feel sorry for those who bought the DGX660 as it is nowhere as good. They have since increased $50. One other thing. I would recommend a Z stand over an X as it doesn't block your legs, is more stable and just as portable.

Just moved to the UK from Canada and left behind my Yamaha Montage. Gorgeous instrument! Just purchased the DGX670 frm Bonners and should receive soon, but was shocked that it has the same beautiful voicings that the Montage has! Can't wait to play it!

[fredflintstone]

Just bought the DGX as my Christmas present. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. Just have to learn to play piano now 😁

[princessl.d.g.]

I ordered the Yamaha p-515 in white two days ago at a store. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow! 🤩

I am a 67 year old Grandma who is interested in re-learning the piano and teaching my grandchildren. I have just purchased the DGX 670 instead of the P 125 and was wondering if I made the right choice. You have reassured me! I have also watched numerous videos on them, but yours was the best! I wish I could have purchased this from your store, but am in Florida. However, I have given a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel, so hope this helps out. Thank you for a great comparison video!

Ive learned on a casio Cdp.model. I played that yamaha yesterday. It was amazing . what a difference.

[chewchy]

I purchased the DGX-670, and just wow - what a great item. I thought I would be excited, but after playing williams, donner, casio, this thing is just AWESOME!!! ty again for helping me decide!

[jazzzman]

I'm the pianists for a 19 piece Jazz Ensemble. I have a P-125 which is great because I can literally carry it under one arm! I have a ton of keyboards, but this thing is by far the most convenient if you're primarily a pianist and don't want to lug a bunch of gear to gigs. I use an external QSC-K.12 speaker which is the heaviest piece of gear at about 30 pounds. Similar to another user, I bought the P-125 for my Grandson who got bored of piano, so I stole it back!!

Love how concise and informative all of your videos are, they really helped me buy my first piano. Got the DGX 670 2 weeks ago and it is worth every penny. Still learning the features but I love it so much :')

[advaitabhishek]

DGX 670 needs to be studied thoroughly for anyone who has bought it. if you are just going to play piano and some other tones, one can very well buy p 125 and in need of some extra tones may use some plugins too. But DGX 670 is a producer's goldmine and someone who is making music needs to study it a to z to completely make use of it.

Absolutely great presentation, I am a singer/pianist and I've gotten tired of working with bands, so I'm going solo and I was a little concerned about the weight of the 670 versus the 125, but it appears that if I get adept and knowledgeable about the accompaniments, I could literally be a one-man band for a restaurant or bar situation playing an assortment of sung songs and instrumentals. Plus, the song writing and recording capabilities make the 670 the obvious choice for me. Being in Texas, USA, the only negative I take away is that we are separated by the Atlantic; otherwise, I would be in your store pestering you on a daily basis. Thanks for the great information and please keep it coming. Again, fantastic video. Thank you.

Many times I listen to other YouTuber doing piano model review, I get even more confused about which piano to buy. On the other hand Thank-you very much fr yr clear n detailed explanations. Yr direct comparison between 2 models is definitely very helpful to me to make sensible decision to suit my needs. 😊 I have decided on P125, all music creators should go fr the amazing Dgx 670. Thanks again !

[peterhoelzel]

…very good comparison and I appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I have the P121 (73 key version of the P125) in one location with space limitations and used to have the DGX 660, the predecessor of the 670 in a second location with more room. I am a learner. I never used the vast array of features of the DGX. The key beds and therefore the touch are identical between the two. It’s not a P515 but it’s an authentic hammer action weighted keys feel. The price difference is rather insignificant. A few hours of professional lessons. To me it boils down to space and portability (DGX is too heavy to gig with, the P125 is still ok). If you don‘t gig and have the space, get the DGX even if you never use all the features. If you are an aspiring pianist after your time on P125/121…or DGX, get a P515. But I will never get to that level.

I was able to modify the 3 pedal unit to work freestanding without the official stand in about an hour with basic tools. I also found out that you can use the microphone input to connect an electric guitar and use the DSP to create new sounds much like pedals while playing with midi files with the keyboard.

[TheSingingDoctor]

Very nice video. I was leaning toward a P-125 but with all the features of the DGX, it's hard not to go with that one.
BTW - the Camera Error Cat was awesome!

[nikolailu]

Extremely helpful, thank you, i'm going for dgx now

[GeorgeAlexa]

You are better than Amazon! I watched your video before and got a refresher today. Thank you so much. I'm 79 years old and don't think I will be creating music, so I will probably go the simple route of getting the P-125. But it's not cast in concrete. I have two other Yamahas, one needing help with the sound on three notes!

[feziledayile]

Love this demo. And that 'camera error cat' too!
