Great point Dave! Thanks for sharing it here :)

Dave Pawson Yeah, living in a flat your neighbours won't be fans of your new hobby)

I have a silent acoustic piano

Somebody get this guy a crown

There are silent pianos out there now

Great point jkristia2011, it also helps you have privacy when practicing so you can really impress your wife and neighbours after! :P

Are there specific headphones for keyboard or do you purchase any?

But there's silent acoustic pianos

jkristia2011 I am a working pianist and I do play both pianos. A digital piano and acoustic piano are both actual pianos. It is just that one is compleetly different than the other but they are both pianos. A digital piano is not fake. Now you do have those toy pianos which are toys but then you have the real pianos which are digital and acoustic. You are not going to call an electric car a fake car are you? They are both real. Gas or electric cars they are both cars. Or you are not going to call an airplane a fake bus are you??? It is a totally different concept or a small plane a fake car but you want a real car right??? That doesn’t make sense. A plane is a real plane a car is a real car so when you talk about acoustic piano beeing a real piano and a digital not bee real you got to what what you are talking about because they are both pianos it is just that one is totally different than the other and it makes music production easier to do than the other BITH they are both real pianos.

jkristia2011 the other thing I noticed when you said electronic/keyboard piano. This doesn’t even make sense. Keyboards... they are totally different than digital pianos in that they have spring loaded keys and they are portable and smaller. A digital piano has G.H.s. Action where as a keyboard doesn’t. A keyboard is not a piano and a digital piano is not a keyboard. Many people believe this concept that a digital piano is just technically a keyboard but that is false. A keyboard is played differently and smaller. With its portability a digital piano is resembling its cousin the acoustic piano and has hammer weighted keys and 3 pedals like that of the acoustic piano. You are not goin to see this on a keyboard. You will have just the damper pedal on a keyboard and it may even just bee a foot switch. The other thing is that a digital piano is not an electric piano. Electric pianos were used back in the 70’s and didn’t even sound like an actual piano. They were bell like tones and you could tune an electric piano. A digital piano is not even close to an electric piano. A digital piano gets its sounds from sampling or modeling and you can patch different sounds of voices. You could not do this on an electronic piano. The electric piano had tunes on it and they were in place of strings. The electric piano looked like an acoustic piano with tunes and hammers nad you tuned the tunes by the tune bar. A digital piano has digital circuits to keep the piano in tune. And functions way way different. We actually do not have electronic pianos anymore. Like the roads and Wurlitzer or vintage vibe pianos. But they are not to bee mistaken for a digital piano. This is in correct. An electronic piano didn’t even sound like a piano...... though they are all in the keyboard family they all are very different from each other.... I am really surprised that many musicians don’t get this.

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Renndrew Volleyball Victimless (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for uncovering the simple trick to master the piano without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam got amazing success with it.

MiaNaomi Post a digital piano is not fake. It is a piano just like its cousin. They are both genuine real. It is like saying I want a real car not an electric car. Well, what are you calling fake. A fake piano would bee that of a little kid’s toy piano but when you are talking about a digital versus acoustic these are both real pianos. It just so happens that ones works differently than the other and they both perform at their levels one is used for concerts and classical moments and jazz where the other can do everything and that is music production. A digital piano is more of a work piano. It is used to produce music albums and make music and beeing creative. So it is not fake at all.... I am a working pianist and I do play both. Now if you go to say that they both play compleetly different I would give you that because i do play both and they both feel totally different. From each other and they don’t sound the same it doesn’t matter how great digitals are they don’t sound exactly like their cousins although don’t bee fooled a digital piano is a real piano it just works differently. Just like a hybrid piano. They are not digitals but they are acoustic pianos that have a digital part to them. It is basically an acoustic wanting to bee a digital but it can’t. But boiling it down both pianos are real pianos. Just like cars. You are not going to call an electric car a fake car are you??? It is the same thing. They both give transportation and they are both real cars.

@@benjaminbrown5245 It's fake because the sound is a sample, and there the disconnection between the action and the sound. Don't take it personally. I love my digital piano but I know when I touch the action it's not the real hammer that creates sounds, it's a hammer that trigger the sensitivity that play a sample of the piano, not by touching a real string. By this definition though, a Roland piano might have been considered less fake than others since they actually generate their own piano sound through algorithm instead of playing by sampling. Your car analogy isn't the same, since an electric car doesn't mimic the normal car, it just use different type of energy. A digital mimic the acoustic sound and action as best as they could, hence the fake flower analogy make more sense, since fake flower don't require maintainance like real flowers but if they're good enough you can't tell them apart without a good eye/ear.

@@linkthai1995 you are talking to a pianist here for a living. A digital piano is not fake. Yes it is totally a really genuine piano. Think you need to read up in digital and acoustics. Yes. It is the same. The car annalagie. It is the same thing. Well, a digital no acoustic is different from each other and they are totally different beasts but a digital are not fake. They are real piano. I have to get going to work soon but I saw this and this reply looks like I don’t know what both pianos are when I play both pianos so I no what I am talking about here. If I had more time I would explain to you how a digital and acoustic works. I have been playing piano all my life here. A digital piano is a digital piano like is says. Yes. The action and workings of it are no where near the acoustic but that doesn’t mean at all that it is a fake piano. That is a myth. Their is no such thing as a fake versus real piano unless you are talking about the baby toy that you had growing up and then getting on a acoustic piano. The baby toy is a toy but quit calling a digital piano a toy or fake that is not true. Like i said. I know exactly what i am talking about because i live, breath, and basically eat no sarcasm here but this is true pianos. I do play both so you can not tell me that i don’t know what i am talking about and the car annalygie does work the best or flying a plane versus driving a car. It is the exact same thing. Digital versus acoustic. Yes they are totally different beasts and they are no where the same but they are 2 real pianos…. Just like a keyboard. That is not a piano. It is smaller than a piano and the Keats are totally different. The have springy sanction.

I have the Yamaha DGX-660b as well and I love it more than the upright piano that I grew up with as it's always in tune and with literally hundreds of instrumental sounds/samples to play around with. It's awesome!

Glad to hear the acoustic piano is working out for you Grace! :)

@@jazerleepiano I love your channel

Grace Tan that is so true. Now I am a working pianist and I do play both. It doesn’t matter how good digitals are they are not the same they are compleetly a different beast than the acoustic counter part. When you only play acoustic pianos if you go and play on a digital you will fee something way off like something is broke but it is not true it is the way that the digital works compared to the acoustic. Now if you play both then you have the knowledge of how both of them are played. Yes both of them have 88 keys but the action and play is compleetly different. You are so right on. I love playing both but honestly I love the digital pianos. You can do so much more with them. On the other hand if you are wanting to play classical or perform in a concert than a digital on that hand is not the piano to use. You would then want an acoustic grand piano because of that string resonance. Now for production of music that is where the digital comes in.

Benjamin Brown Yes that’s right! I’m seriously considering of getting an upgrade soon because I really need too. I’m already pursing for the Grade5 exam and unfortunately my piano keys are too light to train out all the techniques and dynamics. Oh I’ve actually spot on this piano Zimmermann S6, it has a wonderful tone and the touch are just gorgeous! While looking back, digital piano comes in handy to the extend if I need to play late at night or do some recording for myself :)

Grace Tan awesome!!!

Also, there are more types of keyboards like synthesizers and midi stuff, something that can also be considered by people to buy

They're pretty cheap too

The problem is that not everyone can afford that ._.

What about 61 keys?

You are right Euglena!

@Rick Barber Better than clavinova and other Yamaha non portable pianos ? I’m asking as I’m planning a purchase...

Both great instruments! The p515 does a lot of the things a clavinova does, but not everything! Some clavinovas have quite a few more options. And the over all speaker system in th clavinovas are generally better by both loudness and quality. I would consider the p515 as the music majors go to practice instrument. And the clavinova the actual recital instrument in the digital world. Two great and totally different beasts

@@Smitty-hc8sb thanks

I personally find the Yamaha Arius YDP-181 to create a more full sound than the P 515 as well as to be a more versatile piano overall, but just marginally. Honestly, either piano is fantastic. I only wish the Arius was still being made. I could really use a not clicky piano.

Well put Mouyrf! What is currently stopping you from getting a real piano?

I live in an apartment so I am worried I could disturb my neighbors

My piano is about 85db loud. There is nothing I love more than waking up in the morning and playing my "wakeup" song. I can feel the thing reverberating though the walls, the floor, and in turn my bum. If I set on a roll and walk to the other end of the house, I can feel the bass all the way on the other end.

I started playing on both a keyboard and an acoustic (spinet). A year ago when I wanted to upgrade I considered getting a higher end digital piano or a bigger acoustic. After considering my options for months and trying a lot of different options, I ended up buying a slightly used Yamaha GB1K baby grand. It looks beautiful in my living room, sounds wonderful, and I feel happy sitting for hours a day playing on it. i stop playing at 9:30 when my daughter goes to sleep and by that time I’m ready to stop. In the end, everyone gets what they prefer, what they can afford, and what type of instrument fits their lifestyle. But I’m so blessed to have a gorgeous looking and sounding instrument to play on. Even if I’m just an intermediate pianist.

T-marie N thanks for checking out this vid!! What songs or pieces are you working on right now?

@@jazerleepiano I'm in the very early stages so Ode to Joy, When the Saints Go Marching In, etc. I'm using KZfaq, online classes and books--at 70 I'd rather do it this way than have a piano teacher. Maybe I'll regret that decision or maybe I'll change my mind--but for now I just want to get my music reading skills down pat and learn the basic stuff. It's only for my own enjoyment and I also hope it helps with memory (it used to be great--now not so much).

Good on you T-Marie, it's great to hear you are pursuing piano at 70. Wonderful decision in my opinion. Keep it up!

hey, did you already buy it? it is great?

Nice channel by the way, awesome to see your uploads! :)

@@jazerleepiano oh! t-thank you XD

screamingpiano we have to get our minds away from real and fake when it comes for pianos. I am a working pianist I do play both digital and acoustic. That is what they are named. They are both real what are you going to do. Call an electric car a fake car??? No they are both real it just happens that one operates on a different level but they are both real. Well, the same with the piano. An acoustic piano is a piano like its cousin. It just so happens that you should work and practice and hone your skills on the acoustic before getting on a digital. A digital is going to take your playing to the next level meaning that you ar going to bee creative on a digital piano you can do that on an acoustic but you need more things to help with recording where as a digital if you have tons of things on it you can record and do all your studio work right their on the piano. That is the advantage of the digital piano. But they are both real... same thing with cars. A gas powered or electric powered is both real. They are just powered by 2 different file types. One is file and one is electric but they are both real.

@@benjaminbrown5245 i love how you defend your stance, and yes i agree with you.

@@youareallfeckinboring Well, it totally makes sense. A digital piano is a compleetly different beast than the acoustic piano. The acoustic piano is going to give the beginner the feeling of performance and you will bee getting prepared to play in concert halls. I am glad that you agree because I have been through it and know what it is like. It is better to start from the acoustic piano and get the feeling of control before moving onto the digital piano. The digital has a compleetly different action and feel. In order to play a digital you need to bee able to have the thestarting of knowledge of piano skills first. Then the other will make sense to you as driving a car is to flying planes. Totally different beasts but their both vehicles. The thing it’s the acoustic piano is that you want to bee able to hear the overtones as you are playing. With a digital you are not going to get the overtones and string resonance.

So your recommendation for beginners?

Banyong Sering Digital for the beginners all the way.

Joseph Blaze thanks ya

@@adambensering9057 digital piano for beginners but probably you can try sometimes with upright piano. So you will know how to control your fingers.

wishyou werehere thanks ya. I’m about to buy something for my bday. My parents want me to choose anything u like. I decided Piano but i know nothing bout it.

This would depend on what kind of piano you have, how extensive is the repair going to be (or how costly it will be), etc. You would need to weigh the pros and cons.

I don't think my keyboard has any additional features like he mentioned in the video, outside of a built-in metronome and a few preset sounds. I honestly bought the cheapest one on the market and didn't worry about digital features. I wonder if there's a weighted keyboard that does. It also just has the one sustain pedal, not all three.

Modern digital pianos simulate resonance. For example, my yamaha p125 has this feature

@@torkalovolodymyr5097 / It is impossible to get interactive resonance of strings with an electronic piano, because there is the total absence of strings! The harmonic balance of C played alone is absolutely not the same as the harmonic balance of C when E and G are played with it. There is not a single virtuoso in the world today who uses an electronic piano on stage or in the studio. In order to achieve the tone that they so adeptly conjure, they practice only on acoustic pianos. Expressiveness is essential to the proper performance of the great works of the piano.

@@williamsmyth5047 I tested this feature by holding one key down (without sound) and pressing another key octave higher: with pressed two keys sound is different - i can hear slight resonance of first key. If press single key there is no sound of resonance. This is even mentioned in manual that resonance is simulated (but only on first default grand piano voice) Why this should be not possible when you have computers? Today we have very powerfull tools for digital signals processing.

@@torkalovolodymyr5097 / This can't be done by sampling, because there are billions of nuances due to dynamics and chord structures. Yamaha is capable of a lot. Line 6, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Yamaha, is an industry leader in guitar processors. However, when it comes to pianos, you need strings, so that each note is unique. That is why, despite their digital pianos, they manufacture acoustic pianos - big expensive pianos that require tuning and humidity control - because that's what musicians need for expressiveness.

To be honest, only reason i'd buy a real one is if I had the money. But lack of money shouldn't prevent someone from learning and playing music.

Somebody get this guy a crown!!! 👑

@Banx no problem. You are more than welcome!!

nah - let's not mess around here. A 'real' piano is quite simply an acoustic piano. Same as one day we'll look back a lust after 'real' cars or hanging out with 'real' people. Some things are just better 'real'.

@@tombarnes3004 dude!!! I know what i am talking about here. Then you know i am a working pianist and I was raised around this stuff. I was born into a musician family. Ummmm I know what i am talking about here. A digital piano is a real piano. What are you going to call it a fake piano? Or a toy piano come on. It’s obvious that you don’t know. A digital paino is a real piano. What is the problem here. This is not messing around. People need to bee educated and its obvious that you need to bee educated. The thing that is different is that a digital does not have strings but an acoustic does. An acoustic is a real piano and so is a digital. Both the pianos are not the same I know this cause i play both. I know what i am talking about here. That is like saying an electric car is not a real car. What do you mean what is real!!!! Come on. An electric car is real and so is a gas powered car. You know this. What are you going to say. Oh I want to play a real organ when you sit at an electric organ. What???? Just cause it is electric what are you going to say. Is it fake no. It is real. Just like the pipe organ. And just to let you know a digital piano is not an electric piano. They are for 2 different pianos. Yes. You plug them both in but a digital has no sound like the electric. The electric piano was used back in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It had hammers of course but it did not even sound like a digital. A digital piano resembles a acoustic piano in that it has a sound engine. Where as an electric piano does not. It has tines that were struck. See so the functions are different. If you are a pianist you should know these things. Don’t make me look stupid here.

@@benjaminbrown5245 You're very literal aren't you mate? Also: "People need to bee educated and its obvious that you need to bee educated. " Case closed on that display of education then.

Hello Jazer. Thank you for your videos. Pls i need to decide between a DGX 670 YAMAHA AND A WILLIAMS WHITE GRAND PIANO MINI . BOYH WITH BLUETOOTH and Williams looks beautiful. But I don't know if is it ok the sound . Please help;) thank youuuu!. Great job always!

Michael850 is it still buffering ?

No Already bought a piano so I don't need to watch it anymore
