    The Yamaha and Casio piano sound are so beautiful..

    I bought the Roland FP30X last month and I'm delighted with it. I really like the key action and the key surface texture. For me, it makes a big difference in my enjoyment when playing. My wife says the main piano sound has more of an electronic note than the Yamaha. I think it's due to the speakers. Some speakers need time to 'relax' and soften. The sound is fine on headphones which is what I normally use anyway so it's not an issue for me. The Roland was £80 less than my 2nd choice Yamaha P225 (on Amazon). My previous keyboard was the Yamaha DGX-630. I bought a Z-frame stand with trolley wheels that's proved useful to maneuver the piano e.g. when cleaning. Although it's classed as a portable it's still pretty heavy (15kg)

    Such a helpful video- and amazing talent brother! Thank you!
  • @AndreasWesthues
    Thanks for sharing this comparison. Exactly these four models have been on my radar for the last weeks, but obviously you have to try them out at a local store. I think I'll go for Roland or Yamaha.
  • @jjacob25101
    Great review, I have watched several review videos of all four, and they all are great. Any one is a win. But, Roland is my favorite brand, but for the price, I would get the FP-E50, now $100 cheaper at $900, or the new RD-08, which is a slightly less expensive version of the RD-88.
  • @ajotech
    Awesome playing. Come on Roland update the RD-2000 PLEASE!
  • @avjake
    The lower register of the Roland sounds so rich, IMO. Were you recording line out or USB?
  • Absolute perfect review. Thank you! Am a classical pianist who didn’t play for 20 years. Saving up for a Bechstein R2 and don’t want to buy another accoustic as it’s a “to stay” situation to get into my small flat. So - until then - I am really hoping I can make due with a digital piano. Your Roland and Casio sounded pretty nice. But I have always hated playing on digital pianos as I felt it gave nothing back and felt “dead” and thereby not inspiring. What would you recommend for me? Budget max 2000 usd.
  • @uvz6539r
    have a really difficult time deciding between these..... proberly be fp30x or es120 es120 is cheaper... however fp30x have better connectivity...... but what feels best to play. I was very used to play on a acustic upright piano back in the day.
  • And besides you're right, the response and mechanical features of Roland fp30x keyboard with escapement Ph4 is outsider!!!!,
  • @BlessedRosa
    I just bought roland fp10 {€400} for my son as a beginner. The keys are awesome 😍 we had a lot of fun 😍🎹🎶
  • @PianoAchilles
    After saw the video, I like the sounf of Piano ROLAND, YAMAHA and CASIO. but not convinced on Kawai sound
  • @Dacapoelcodaa
    Casio PX-S1100 has faulty actions on the black keys i had to return it
  • I am very picky and have had lots of time invested in you tube piano sounds, I liked all except the Kawai was too sharp sounding...tinny! I perked up hearing the Casio!!!!!!!! I liked this sound the best! I consider Casio a lower end but I totally loved It!
