Keep doing what you're doing. I always respect and enjoy your honest reviews :)

I really hate you for consistently tearing apart the pianos I’m just about ready to buy. Thanks for the honest reviews, really appreciate it.

An unbiased review is a true review. Your review style is exactly what consumers need. Keep up the good work!

Always appreciated your honest reviews! So detailed and helpful.

this is the review I've been looking for. Good job.

Always appreciate your thorough review that makes me rethink my purchase

I am so happy that I found your channel. Your honest reviews are worth a patron pledge.

Amazing review, I love your honest reviews a lot, they are very helpful!

Very excited to watch this fully, seems like this will be an awesome and interesting video! 😁

Another excellent comparison video. Your insights into the keyboards are unbiased and honest which is refreshing among so many other reviews. It’s also a delight to listen to your polished and sensitive performances. Keep up the good work.

It’s great. I’ve been waiting for your comments for a long time. Those previous dealer videos only talked about the merits, and there were too few pertinent criticisms. Just like the keyboard response you mentioned in the video, a friend of mine who is a professor of music at the university mentioned Roland's keyboard response last month. He felt it was not suitable for fast playing. Thanks again for your unbiased comment.

Thanks for another awesome review! I had the FP-30 for a while, but could never get onboard with the PHA-4 keybed, for exactly the reasons you stated. I too had often wondered if it was just me, because so many other people seem to love it!

Thanks for your honest reviews, so hard to find non dealer reviews of pianos.

Excellent! We need these objective reviews. Keep up the good work!

Always enjoy your reviews James. Appreciate your honesty

The consumers appreciate your reviews. I started playing back in Oct 2020, when I was researching pianos in this price range, your reviews came up. I ended up purchasing the kawaii es110, love it so far.

Thanks for doing all these reviews. You do a great honest job.

Love the honest reviews, always entertaining

Your honesty and unabashed, fair candor are welcomed and very refreshing. As an old amateur musician and perpetual student of many decades, I completely get where you are coming from. I have absolutely never been content to merely settle for "not bad" "pretty good" or "good enough" in my practicing, my casual playing, or in my parts in concert performances. That goes double for my instruments and equipment, as well as room acoustics. Keep up your great work! The manufacturers should consider you their prized, extremely valuable asset, as I do! All the best to you!

Thanks James for another great review. I recently purchased the FP-30X and am overall pleased. It was a present to myself, an upgrade from a 50+ year old acoustic piano and it fills my need for a decent practice instrument. I agree with your criticism of the user interface and the user manual. The app is the easiest way to change settings. Keep up the good work.

This was a really useful video while I was considering the Fp30X!

Keep doing your honest reviews 😎

A deep and honest review. Perfect as always.

Great work buddy. Keep them coming 🙏👍

I’ve been waiting for you to review this 🙂

Nice review, you always help me out when I want to purchase a keyboard

Love your honest reviews❤️

Always love the honesty and thorough reviews.

Appreciate the honest review! I really trust your reviews, thanks!

Thanks for the review!

Thank you so much! Love

As usual a top review.

Awesome review!😁

Thank you, really great review as always!

great advice!! Really helpful

Awesome review, thank you

Appreciate your reviews!

Good review!

In depth review as usual :)

Best review !! You are a very hardworking person, keep it up 👍🙂

As always great review.

The fp30 is what I learned to play piano on. I still have it today and I still love it. My biggest complaint is the speaker quality they rattle a bit and don't sound that great which is why I only use headphones when playing. Another thing is I wish digital piano company's would also include the sound of the damper. To me that is such an important part of getting a authentic sounding piano. As far as recording goes I haven't had any problems recording. Separate left and right outs would be great but it's not a huge deal to me. As far as action goes I like it but it can be a bit slow if you are playing something fast. Other than those things I think it has been an excellent piano and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn piano without spending a whole lot of money especially if you can find a used one.

Amazing review!

Another great review. Thanks.

Such very detailed review !!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Love the review😀

Hi James, It has been a min since i've viewed one of your vid's. Very Enjoyable, The little ditty after the outtro, Caught me off guard! Hahaha 😀👍👍✌

Nice, keep up the good work.

*Thank You, great review*

Great review as always! Maybe do a comparison with what the competition offers in the similar price range? Also, I think some blind tests would be fun to do, even with products from different price ranges!

Hi James, good stuff, We would really like to see the guts of the instruments, especially compared between the price ranges, Please consider more teardown videos like the one you did on the casio. The $400 bracket comparison would be interesting as well.

thanks for this honest review.

Love your review :D

Nice review! 😁

I’ve watched several reviews you have done. All have been very fair

Very good analysis !!!

Commenting for the algorithm !! James you are the coolest !!

Well done!

This is great. I really appreciate you taking this much time to dive in like you do.

Love your reviews! Bought a Yamaha P-515 based on your review. Great work as always.

Thank you for the great and honest review!

Good job :-) Detailed (very! ;-)) and with you being primarily a classical pianist, you have an increased focus and a more competent perspective in your direct comparison with the acoustic piano :-)

I've been following your channel for a while now. Even though I have a keyboard already (Yamaha P45 I just wish it had direct line output other than that its perfect for what I need) I love watching your reviews of all sorts of keyboards, real pianos, and other things like the performances (Im at UF for piano rn). Keep up the amazing content!!!

Very useful. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the reslly honest review ♥️

Thank you, JPS, this was seventy minutes I really benefited from, and enjoyed enormously. Considering you were careful to include matters that Roland hasn't improved, you nevertheless made me want the FP-30X, where previously I had hoped the humble FP-10 would suffice. I suppose the imperfect action doesn't dent Roland's sales, because as far as beginners like me can see, other manufacturers employ a lighter action which won't encourage a playing style that transfers easily to acoustic pianos (I realise Roland hasn't entirely mastered it, either). I don't have space for an acoustic so the most affordable accurate simulation will be my choice, whatever other shortcomings the model has. If, in the light of that specific requirement, you'd strongly recommend something else, I think many (like me) would like to know what, and to see you review it. Thumbs up from the U.K! 👍

I just found out about you about a week ago, when searching for videos on the Roland FP-30. I'm a total noob in the piano scene, and I figured from various reviews I've read and watched, that the Roland FP-30 seems like a good entry level piano, what with the progressively weighted keys, supposedly good sound and big speakers. But then I saw your review and I held off, as I heard about the FP-30X. I saw that your FP-30 review was a bit "old", and was hoping maybe I'd get lucky and find a review of the FP-30X uploaded already, but quickly found out that it wasn't the case.... Well, I didn't have to wait for long! Lo and behold, it's christmas morning and the biggest package under the tree has my name on it! Can't wait to see this. I expect you to be as sharp with the criticism as ever.

Good review. Well done. I like your classical music plays. Good for asmr. Maybe an idea for new activities?

Great video

I’m getting the 30x for my birthday coming up soon. I’m super excited! What are your thoughts about it versus others in that 900 dollar price range? Love your content and your a great piano player as well👌😬

Good review

I just bought this keyboard because of its portability and the reported changes that were made from the previous model, which included its ability to be connected to other sound sources. I am one who actually likes the keyboard action, but the Piano Everyday app crashes a lot. I was hoping that it would help me more in selecting sounds and navigating the interface. But I don't need to change sounds very often when playing and so I can quite often set something up in the app and not have to worry about losing that sound through the duration of my performance. Overall I am pretty satisfied with this keyboard, but yes, there are a few flaws. I don't believe this review would have changed my mind about whether to purchase this keyboard, but I definitely appreciate your honest perspective.

:) great video! Thank you!

Thanks for reviewing the FP30X

Great objective review!

Thank you!!!! Lovely video!!!!!

Yes, we like this type of comparison!

I would really like a full review about the FP90x

I LOVE your videos!!!!! You speak the truth. I bought the Korg SV-2s73 because of your videos on it, and I love it!

Thank you for helping someone who has choice anxiety make the right purchase decisions especially as a beginner myself!

Helpful video 👍

Thank you for the great review. It was informative and enjoyable. Any chance of doing one of these for the Roland FP-60X? I'm interested in your thoughts on that model, particularly compared to the now somewhat dated Yamaha P-515. I have the opportunity to get either one of these, but I'm unsure which way to go.

The best reviews on youtube!

Great Job James :)

Great idea to compare old vs new pianos. Wonder if you have reviewed the Yamaha CVP809 or 805. Would be great if you could. Thank you very much for your unbiased and in-depth reviews. Looking forward to the next one.

My Korg Concert sounds great with the speakers pointed downward. I guess it comes down to what I'm used to. It would make for a funny demonstration to flip the FP-30 upside down and play it via midi, to see if it actually sounds better. ES110 is still king.

You are the best honest keyboard reviewer!

Thanks for the honesty! The thing I was most disappointed with on the FP-30 was that the headphone out did not include any of the tonal effects (ambience, lighter/darker) that the output from the speakers did! Not sorry I bought it, but if I buy again, I hope you're still doing reviews.

I just ordered one last night lol. I doubt I'll mind if the action is a bit sluggish; I'm a beginner! Thanks for the detailed overview/ comparison

Thanks. Wanting to buy a digital piano, you are my ultimate authority for reviews.

Same feeling towards PHA-4 action. Every time when I read stuff online, people just religiously commenting that PHA-4 action is one of the best. I always feel something weird about that action, and you explained it perfectly! The key feels great on the way down, but not so great on the way up.

Thanks for sharing James seen here from the UK,have you ever played an RMI electric piano it would be good to see you demo it.

The Best piano reviewer ever! Cool video! Like!

So glad I watched this.

Really appreciate your unbiased reviews. Could you please review the new DGX-670 when they become available? Can't seem to find a dealership that has any in stock. Do you know why?

Could you do one on the Korg D1? Love the videos and thinking about getting one

Well done. Nice Video. On my Yamaha p125 you can conncet it via USB to your PC and directly record the digital signal. I would assume that would give me the best sound quality. Even better than a direct line output.

I love your reviews and would love to see one on the fp90x at some point if you ever get the chance because it uses a different action but I understand if it's too expensive

Great videos....I´m still hoping for a Korg D-1 review.. ;-)
