You're welcome, thank you for watching!

I really appreciate your brief review. Will be waiting for your more extensive testing of the dgx-670 in the future. I purchased one but haven't been able to get it shipped due to a huge backlog of orders that Yamaha seems to have developed.

I love Encore Music, glad I could be of help to you!

It was a lot of fun to play!

For sure!

@@ThePianoforever are you on vacation?🎹🎶

Not really, but in between working we are taking some time to relax.

You're right! It's a total different beast now.

Some employees thinking: _"Who is this guy? Why is he talking to himself, or who is he talking to? Should we call the cops or the guys with the stretch jackets?"_ 🤣

The people who work there are cool and are my friends.

@@ThePianoforever Sooo... no stretch jackets involved? 😁 Also keep the videos coming, just began learning myself, and the 670 is the rock I'll build my church on. 👍

Thank you!

Hey can you please tell whether it has any option (Like outputgain) where you can change the output level from the HEADPHONE JACK output for connecting to amplifier (making it more optimized)👍

Since it can be connected to Smart-phones, Tablets or Pads, does it support both 'Apple' and 'Android' operated devices, or merely the 1st category. If only Apple users can benefit that advantage, we'd hope Yamaha's DGX 670 upgraded version would consider satisfying both brand users.

Thanks! I agree with you completely. I noticed that the CP88 felt a lot different than the P515, I don't know if Yamaha has redesigned the action or if it is slightly different between the two. I haven't played a CP88 since I reviewed one over a year ago so I can't say.

Thanks a lot!

Your last line - well said! (from another beginner)

The two Scarlatti pieces I'm playing at the moment are K.380 in E Major and K.1 in D minor.

Thanks!

No, I did hear the piano, it is intentionally goofy :) Just didn't make any mention of the piano track.

I think you might like it, it sounds great.

@@ThePianoforever That’s is exactly what I expect but I will let you know.

Thought I saw a hook. :..)

that's the best part of the video! haha

Awesome! It's a fun instrument to play. Yeah, sorry about the background noise, its hot here in California and they had several huge evaporative coolers and fans running to keep the air circulating.

We also got one, play MIDI through USB cable on old laptop using Notation Player 4. much better than USB stick.

It sounds great!

The chord on my Yamaha psr sx900 is dream come true for me but how I would love this amazing feature on a arranger/ digital piano!

In the 660 there was an option (output gain) to change it from headphones to external amplifier...dunno about 670 (please inform if anyone has any information regarding that feature in 670 as well)👍

Ooh nice an MP11SE! Thanks for watching my videos! The first piece I played was Scarlatti's sonata in D minor, K.1

About 13 or 15 years ago or so, I actually bought a 32-note polyphony keyboard (Casio PX-555 I think) at Guitar Center... and took it back after a few weeks. That 32 poly was way too limiting for me -- it was constantly dropping notes, especially when layering sounds or using the pedal, to the point that when I played complex chords, not all the notes would even *SOUND* :O as in ... I might only hear an octave or a fifth, instead of the full chord in some situations. (I think the manual mentioned 10 or less note polyphony in complex scenarios, like layering sounds or using certain sounds.) Also while the sound of that keyboard was kind-of "okay", it wasn't super great. I knew of the option of using the keyboard as a controller with a PC to get better sounds, but I'd prefer to have something all self-contained. Also I don't really care for the "clean" / "pure" / "sterile" sound that a lot of modern digital pianos have. It's like 3x more than my budget, but I think I like the Italian grand on the Nord stage pianos, though, and some of the Italian grand (Fazioli?) samples on some VST instruments. (As for acoustic pianos, some of my favorites are actually some mid 20th century Baldwin Hamilton uprights.) When the time comes for me to get a digital piano sometime, I'd actually like one that has mostly just piano sounds, but has probably several dozen different pianos sampled. And I mean actual different pianos, not just one set of samples with the EQ changed to get the other sounds, or however that's done. Examples include multiple sizes of uprights (from spinets to big uprights) and grands (from petite to concert grands) from Baldwin, Chickering, Steinway, Bechstein, Bluthner, Bosendorfer, Yamaha, Kawai, Steingraeber, Fazioli, the 12-foot Rubenstein, Klavins uprights, the 5.7 meter piano in New Zealand, Bush & Lane, Everett, Emerson (the older ones), and many others, not just recent pianos, but also ones from 100-140 years ago.

@@pianoplayer88key I definitely appreciate your formidable inventiveness. Wow, the hammond drawbars replaced with convincing upright/grand drawbars. Very exciting! thanks

Yes. Yes it would. I heard them at the NAMM show and they sounded good.

This would be excellent for home use, and one could certainly learn to play the piano on it, but the ES110 would have a more professional approach and has more versatility as it can truly be used as a gigging instrument if you so desire.

@@ThePianoforever thanks for the reply. as I am not concerned at all about other voices and only really care about the piano playing experience it seems to be that the Kawais are the way to go. the may thing is that the ES110 is probably due for replacement while the KDP 120 is new. so am wondering if I should wait around for the ES120 to be launched if ever, or just get the KDP120 instead. here in my country, the ES 110 is around USD 730 (with bench and gig stand) and the KDP 120 is USD 1,180 (with bench) which is 60% more expensive. This DGX-670 has also come on my radar at USD 1,140 (with cabinet and 3 pedals) but seems like the action is a little lacking compared to the Kawai. It seems that we pay a premium for Yamaha here.

Hamburg Steinways in Sao Paulo, wow! Yes the GHS is pretty light, something like a P515 (NWX action) might be more preferable. Kawai's GrandFeel keybeds are the best but are very, very expensive.

@@ThePianoforever University of Sao Paulo have 7 Hamburg Steinways. Two full concert size... one at the orchestra rehearsal room and one at the Tulha's Concert Room. The other ones are same size of models A and B. Kawai's MP11 and CA models aren't available. The best thing are the Yamaha's and Casio Celviano's "hybrid". Have you ever played one of those casio? The dgx is a good for many things... especially teaching aural training with all the good samples and recording... but I'm looking for something that can withstand Chopin's etudes, nocturnes... Beethoven's sonatas... and actually have the sympathetic resonance. It's so frustrating playing Bach on the DGX... some of the long notes have a short decay and don't resonate sympathetically when other keys are played.

Dang, so the Kawais are out of the scenario. OK, I'd suggest trying the P515, it has a heavy, incredibly responsive action and nice sympathetic resonance. I have played the Casio "hybrids" (which aren't truly hybrid but that's a different story) and they are ok. It's been a few years, they're pretty rare, but I remember the action being good and the speakers being a little lackluster. They are the most affordable of all the hybrid pianos on the market and you may find their action more suitable than the GHS. As far as resonance is concerned I don't remember how good theirs was. I actually had a video of them uploaded but the store owner got upset and I decided to take down the videos.

@@ThePianoforever it seems that everything that involves Casio is a bit complicated. I get that defensive vibe each time someone points out something that could improve. I never got what was going on with that Casio drama. Owning up to its flaws would actually be a good thing. I tried one Celviano GP300 back in 2017... I thought the action was very soft and so did my piano professor. When our department took us to a piano shop so we could see closer what was going with the digital pianos I thought that was waste of time... but now that the store no longer rent acoustic pianos anymore I have to invest in some good board... so when I get back to University I won't suffer playing the Steinways... if the pandemic gets a little better in Brazil... a big if. Thank you, really. Helped me a lot.

You're welcome! Good luck in finding a digital piano!

Sounds very much like you'd be happy with either a P125 (which I have and love!) or a P515.

The feel of the SV2 is superior, and the analog-style user interface can't be beat. The SV2 has some stellar orchestral patches but the 660 has a greater variety of really nice guitar, woodwind, and brass tones that impressed me, personally. The SV2 can do things with sound that the DGX-670 could likely never dream of doing, and the DGX-670 has sounds the SV2 cannot produce on its it's own. The better built and more professional instrument is without a doubt the SV2, which is why I own one.

@@ThePianoforever of course there are differences and nothing can beat the coolness of a SV2. But still I'm looking for a more crisp and full Elton Johnified pianospill,which I cant find on my SV2. If you have one and have a good setting in the editor,feel free to share bro :)

Well, it depends on what you need from a piano. If you need a super professional, highly pianistic response from your instrument, with a core focus on high quality acoustic piano sounds, the P515 is the way to go. If you're looking for a more flexible, diverse instrument with hundreds of really nice non-piano sounds and fun arranger and recording technology built in, and its professional-use potential is less important for your use, the DGX-670 is probably for you. In short, the P515 is purely about the playing experience and use in professional settings, while the DGX-670 is about versatility, home use, and having lots of fun.

@@ThePianoforever thanks! In your experience, is there a noticeable difference between the two pianos’ action? I’ve heard the P-515 has escapement which would be nice as long as it’s not just a gimmick.

My opinion as of right now is that escapement in digital pianos is sometimes a gimmick, in the case of the P515 it is barely even noticable. This is not necessarily a bad thing, its action (NWX) plays absolutely amazing and although it is heavy (reminiscent of a real piano) it is incredibly responsive and can literally play anything you need it to. The action of the 670 (GHS) is acceptable for its price point for sure, and has very few limitations for most musical styles. If you're an intermediate pianist it would suit you just fine.

I remember the fireworks well 😄

p515

I also own dgx 660, i think I will buy next dgx model if it has separated L/R output audio

No, it's Taylor Music in Aberdeen, South Dakota! 😁

O.K. I will upload a review of the Kawai CA 99 on Saturday.

@@ThePianoforever cheers man ledge

K.1 in D minor 🙂

Yes! Typical Yamaha :) good fun to play.

Oooh that will be nice. I'm expecting the P135 to be good... it has some serious competition now haha

@@ThePianoforever Kawai ES120 LOL🎹🎶

Sadly, no. That was the first thing I looked for after realizing they ported sounds over from the P515!

@@ThePianoforever Is the cfx sound the same as in p 515? Greetings :)
