Got the Korg B2 for a year now, coming from Yamaha Psrs from 20 years ago, coming also from arturia midi keyboards and for a beginner like me, the B2 is perfect for all events, whether band practice, practising and recording in a DAW. Now my psrs are retired with the midi keyboard because this can do everything with my PC.

Really underrated channel

Thanks for the vid

To my ears the Korg B2 sounds much better, I would have to try them on my hands for a final decision.

I played both pianos for approximately two years and I had the B2 first. When I switched to P45 I immediately noticed the difference; the B2 is better and I missed it a lot. What they said about polyphony and sustain is true, the B2 is a much better experience in terms of sound and playing.

What is the name of this music that you played?

When is the p125 getting an update this year?

I'm a learner and I trained on both. During lessons I play on a real piano. The feeling of keys are much closer to real piano on P45 than on B2. Keys on B2 are very heavy, which helps to improve strength with fingers. But there is nothing like feeling the strings under the keys on the P45, like real piano.

Got myself a used p45 for 260$ Couldn't be happier :D

Hmmm what's the first keyboard that you both started on? Small memories I think

P-45 is great. If it was good enough for Chick Corea, it’s good enough for you lol I actually own one now. Recently moved, and wanted to simplify my setup until I can get a nicer cabinet digital piano for use in my living room. So, I sold both my CP4 Stage and Montage 8 along with a couple of pairs of HS8’s. I thought I would really miss the higher quality of the CP4 samples, triple sensor wooden keys and more advanced editing options. Honestly, I love the fact that this turns on in less than a second, still sounds beautiful enough to enjoy and practice, the GHS action feels as good as all but the most expensive digitals, it has no cable management mess behind it, and none of the constant distractions of 5-band EQ, preamp, split/layer, dozens of voices, resonance and effects settings etc. That being said, there are things I wish could be better, such as the Rhodes sample. I also agree that these have been selling for several years without an update. I can think of several small updates that should be cost effective but might sacrifice the fast startup time, or maybe push the price too high due to additional memory requirements.

I love the sound of the P45. And own one. It may not have as many bells and whistles but sound makes up for it.

I understand who already has a p45 and defends it, but if we have listened carefully to what the Boss said about polyphony we realize why the KORG B2 sounds decidedly better than the Yamaha p45...(and then by ear hears):-)

I honestly wanted to like the Korg more, but other than one or tow of Korgs piano sounds which were just as good (or maybe even slightly better), I thought the Yamaha won most of the sound shootouts (EP's, strings, ect). I don't think the Korg sounds bad, especially for the price, just not quite as good as the Yamaha here. If it weren't for the fact that I've hear a number of people complain about problems with the P45 and P125's having issues when being used as a midi controller (one of the primary applications that I will be using it for) , I would definitely be buying one of these if it was just based on sounds.

Trying the korg i feel the keys are very linear and mushi, i honestly didn't really like it... Didn't try the p45 enough to know if it's better

What is that beautiful song you are playing? It is haunting

Quite critical of newbies id say try to be pleasant to those on a budget..as it doesn't mean they are not motivated. Really appreciate otherwise.I have an older Motif XF

My question, are the keyboards using their built-in speakers or plugged into a keyboard amp ?

P45 sound's ah bit more sharp and raw 💥✨

As I understand it, the P45 does NOT have USB Audio capabilities, only MIDI. Whereas the B2 has both USB audio and midi, eliminating the need for any kind of interface. That's a big advantage in my books. Also, the B2 has much better speakers.

Just curiosity, what piano do both of you have at home?

I've been happy with my P45 honestly, but I play quite casually

Yamaha P- 145 Yamaha P - 125A What is better?

Didn’t know George Carlin knew so much about pianos

I use the P45 for many years and it was a great choice for every step of my learning. For practice , it boots up immediately and you can start practicing. The sounds , i never cared , because it can be used as a midi keyboard and you can "upgrade" the sound as much as you want. .which leaves us to the action , and that is the most important one . Its great for every level. That is why I don't upgrade . I could spend 1500-2000 for better sounds , but instead , i purchased VSTs for 500 . No one will notice. If you need pitch/ mod wheels , aftertouch , onboard EQs and more sounds , then its not for you . ( Although you could just get another 49-61 keyboard to have those features. Still cheaper).

Good video, thanks! However, a terribly analogy of freezing in a cheap sleeping bag vs learning to play a piano. No one ever risked their physical safety by giving up on playing the piano. Just saying. To the naked ear, the Korg sounds richer than the Yamaha... even just on my Macbook speakers.

My 5 years old son has started learning Piano and I have been offered to buy P45 or Korg second hand at $250. I have zero knowledge about Pianos so which one should I buy?

Hell yea Ted and pat, top doggies

Going to the store to make my final decision between these tomorrow, this video could not be more timely

Korg. Have much more softer sound

Can you also compare with Roland FP 10?

Just came after ordering my P45… Hope I made the best decission!

Лично я бы выбирать Роланд если учиться играть на цифровом пианино .

Korg !

La sensibilidad del korg es mejor, y en cuanto al sonido de piano es mas parecido a un piano real, yamaha suena muy bien pero suena mas a teclado que a un piano electrico

Ямаха последнии выпуски ( модели )звучат круто для эстрады . Другие мне не нравятся . Корг чисто для космических звуков и Роланд . А также Роланд для классических произведений играть .

The korg sounds cooler

Good review shtty piano piece... I would've prefer some elron john song...

Yamaha P45 is better

I have no idea why but for some reason I've never warmed to either the Yamaha sound or feel in digital pianos despite it being well regarded. Edit: I have a Kawai at home. Still like the sound and feel of Kawai probably best but like Roland, Nord more than Yamaha in general.
