Thanks Mark, glad to hear I helped.

@@ePianoscouk can you pls. Help me . 1) Is roland lx series key action better than yamaha clp?? 2) is sound quality in roland is worser than yamaha?

i listened to the NU1 today in a store and was really impressed by the sound even compared to some Roland LX 705-6-8 . the display and lack of voices suck though. and yeah , thx for the review

Same! I looked down at my phone expecting it to ring.

Thanks Christopher, hope it helped.

Very much, thank you. My old CLP-390 has snuffed it and I shall be saving for a 585.

which Clavinova did you get?

You're welcome thank you.

It's been upgraded, the CLP685 has some enhancements over the CLP585. The CLP585, but you may want to compare the two before deciding to go with the old model.

not to mention much cheaper

organgoesheavy same here m8

Thanks, you can easily deconstruct them and move them around.

FERNANDO Thanks for the suggestion but I ended up buying a Kawai CS8 in the end. Awesome piano and happy with it! Check it out on my channel :)

+Sontaya Dring Yes

I agree with you, but you need to be lucky, as different NU1 units come with an annoying dynamics issue.

No, NU1 is not newer technology. NU1 was introduced in 2012 and the CLP585 in 2013 and the CLP685 is the newest model introduced in 2017. It's best to try them in the store, youtube compression can be misleading.

@@benjaminsmith2287 I own the 685 and it sounds way different that what it sounds on KZfaq, I'd definitely recommend everyone to actually try it in store because it sounds gorgeous in person.

Trans-acoustic, it's expensive. usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/pianos/transacoustic/index.html

We are in Banbury, just north of Oxford. Just off junction 11 of the M40 motorway.

+kees ketsers Yeah it's a tough choice isn't it? - Both great pianos though.

Just a little improvisation. ;-)

Bruce Hornsby vibes! 🎶

look at the Phoenix Piano by Adele H, seems to crush everything else in terms of sound and touch.

The newest model is actually the 685 and yes it does have fully wooden keys with a Synthetic Ivory and ebony finish on the top - simulating the touch of a real grand piano.

not really, these are high-end products. An Arius YDP143 or maybe 163 is much less money and suitable for beginners and kids (or intermediate players). And these pianos have a good, Yamaha sound.

Benjamin Smith They are suitable for beginners. But not mandatory for beginners.

+Frode 5 Ok, a quick overview; Digital pianos; never go out of tune, don't weight very much, feel same as traditional piano, piano sound produced indistinguishable to 8/10 people, you can control volume including wearing headphones, you can used different sounds e.g. strings/choir, you can record what you're playing and transfer onto computer/cd etc.

+ePianos.co.uk continued... Acoustic pianos; Sound wonderful because they have real hammer hitting real strings, infinite amount of tonal variation, are extremely heavy, virtually no volume control for quiet practice, some people argue that they look nicer as pieces of furniture.

+ePianos.co.uk So there are pros and cons of both acoustic and digital pianos. Digital pianos are more practical without doubt and are growing more and more popular as the sound they produce becomes more accurate to the 'real' thing. Traditional pianos are not very practical things for modern living, however they do sound beautiful and in a funny way you can actually fall in love with a traditional piano in a way that you just can't with a digital one, or maybe that's just me. Hope that helps you Frode 5.

Thanks! That helps a lot indeed

Hello! If you search for the video "Hybrid Piano Yamaha NU1 issue" you may have another point of view. Good luck!

Thiago Garcia I've just bought one! I likedd! I'm a beguinner. Thank you!

+Christian P Next time we get a N2 in the showroom I will.

Thank you so much! and do a GB1 VS a GC1 hehee.. also

Yes. Here it is on our website: www.epianos.co.uk/yamaha-clavinova-clp585pe-in-polished-ebony-with-free-uk-delivery-540-p.asp?uid=0a0f85b2-4825-400c-bb26-d33cf8a4e7c1

Yes

Thankyou!

NU1 has upright piano key action, N1 has grand piano key action. I played all Yamaha hybrid models in a store (Nu1, N1, N2 and N3x) and my favourite is definatley the N2. Wonderful touch, great sound. Will save my money for it! :)

It was surprised that N2 was chosen rather than N3X which looks more grand pianos. I would like to watch a video to compare between N2 and N3X and hope you can explain the reason in the video.

Same question. The 545 is on my mind because it also has NWX keys and 256 polyphony. Is there a massive difference between the 545 than either of these two? I want them. Invest in a piano that will progress with me. Do these pianos just have extra bells and whistles or are they quite important?

The difference between the 545 and 585 is like night and day. In my opinion, the 535, 545, and 565 are muddy and missing clarity in the mid to high tones. Also, the action on the these models are not in the same league (but to defend Yamaha, they are cheaper models). I purchased a CLP 585 a few months back, and it is an absolutely amazing instrument. I love it! I have to say that I also looked at the NU1 which I also liked very much, but the tone of the 585 was much richer and more vibrant. The 575 is not bad, but for just a little more money you will be much happier with the 585. After spending 3 hours in the store I ended up with a CLP585 after playing every digital piano in this price range.

+Doug M interesting and very helpful. My budget is currently 4500 US. But i wanted to know what i get for passing almost double for a 585 compared to a 545. Thank you very much ill visit a Yamaha retailer soon and try these out as well. Thanks again.

David, as far as grading the two pianos (and this is just my opinion), if the 585 is rated as A+, the 545 would be rated a C+. The key-bed and speaker system in the 585 is so far superior to the 545 that they are not in the same league.

IVE SEEN THE NU1 IN AUSTRALIA ONLINE FOR 6,999.OO DOLLARS.

Unfortunately, Chris is not for sale.

Lol, saying "real" is a very bad habit our ours. A more accurate word would be "Traditional".

Yes but that's also the original accent
