how would you put this in comparison with the 775?

I feel like the 785 has a lighter key action, the sound system is better and the keys have counterweights. Overall, if you can get a 775 at a good price I still think it is a good digital piano. With that said, I do prefer the key action, touch sensitivity and sound of the 785. Also, good luck getting a 775 in the US, as far as I know they don’t offer it in the US.

@@josephbergsten935 I ordered a CLP 775 in January. I live in the US. Still waiting. 😳

I'm also interested to see a comparison between these two

@@songof6p my advice to you my first is to go with the clp785, do NOT go with ca99 , I had a bad experience with this model, boxy sound, muddy and muffled not pleasing sound at all, swipe screen panel is a pain in the neck, at the end of the day it's your money, your choice. Best of luck 👍

@@khaledramadan3457 and what about between used Yamaha U1 and CLP 785 ? Approximatively at the same Price (5000€). Thanks

Roland is great on synthesizers but Yamaha is the king of piano sampled sounds

It's "Forgotten Dreams" by Leroy Anderson.

@@AndrewSiow Ha! Just for a coincidence I watched the video again to see if someone had answered and it had just happened! How are the odds! Many, many thanks Andrew! Sheet music already ordered!

Notabene: I had also asked on Pianostreet and they had answered along the lines of "cheesy unknown music, you are unlikely to ever find the author or the sheet music", but I knew this was a quality tune. I went on KZfaq to listen to other pieces from the same composer and I was surprised at the things I had already heard (the sleigh ride) or actually liked a lot (the belle of the ball, the jazz pizzicato). You really made my day. Thanks again!!

Well the CA99 and Novus NV-5 have a terrible buzz in the soundboard. We had a CA99 and traded up to the NV-5, no dice. We are working on getting money back from Kawai dealer. So Yamaha it is. It doesn't matter the features if there is a basic design flaw. Very disappointed, we wanted so much to love the Kawai. UPDATE: Money back, full refund, CVP-805 en-route. Thank goodness Kawai dealer was willing to take both pianos back. Very stressful 2 month experience with Kawai. Repairman to the house, forgetting parts, installing parts that didn't help. Questions like, "Do you have a TV in the same room as the piano?"

buy the yamaha. i just retourned my ca99 because of a speaker buzzing issue. i would expect better quality control from a brand like kawai...

@@kevinhurzeler9705 Is it that bad? I really wanted this Model.

@@vichna_slava_ukraini I also wanted the CA99, as it is generall revieved as a very nice piano on KZfaq. However, seing how many people have quality problems with their products(you'll find whole forums dedicated to issues with the CA-series) I would never buy one again. If it already breaks today, guess what happens in a few years down the road... My local dealer basically confirmed this, saying that they got many returns also from the older CA series. Seing that Kawai had these issues earliert but were not able to fix it, is a clear sign of bad quality mgmt in m opinion. Recently got the Yamaha CLP-785. The action is a tad heavier (which can be good or bad),and also the low notes make the piano body resonate more in the CA99. In everything else though, the Yamaha surpasses the CA99 in my opinion. The Yamaha and Bösendorfer samples sound nicer than the SK-EX samples, but I'm aware that is fully subjective. It's a shame, as I really wanted to like the CA99. But for me it seemed most KZfaq channels overhype it (it makes sense for them), as most of them also sell it :) Tbh: Even if the Kawai did not have these quality issues, seeing how the Yamaha plays, I would not go back to the Kawai. Good lucky finding the right piano! :)

This one looks better

Spruce speaker cones and 4 Fortepiano samples vs 2

What's your opinion, if you would compare CSP 170 and this CLP 785 ?

I just got my CLP 785 2 weeks ago and I love it. I was looking at the NU1X and The CLP 785 before I chose the 785. I played the NU1X for over an hour and I also played the CLP 785 and a Yamaha acoustic baby grand (I don’t remember the model) at the same time. This is my humble opinion. The NU1X has a key action that feels exactly like an upright Yamaha U1 acoustic piano. The sound was very good, and it was a really pleasing instrument to play. The CLP 785 does have a lighter key action than the 685, and it was much closer to feeling like the acoustic grand piano that I played. Was it the same as an acoustic grand? No, but impressively close. I ultimately went with the 785 because I feel like it offered better samples (CFX and Bosendeorfer), a slightly better sound system, and if you are trying to duplicate the key action of a grand piano, it is closer to a grand piano feel. For myself and my 2 children who are learning piano, I needed the benefits of playing quietly with a digital piano while still having a good key action and all of the great learning tools available with a digital piano. Yes, they love the 100’s of voices, and if that gets them to sit down at the piano every day and be creative before they do their regular practice, I am a fan. Ultimately, I would prefer a hybrid with a true grand piano action, but I din’t want to pay $3000 + more dollars to get a hybrid with a grand piano action. I almost went for the NU1X, but I didn’t as it was about $800 more and I felt like I was still able to play beautiful expressive music with a very good key action on the 785. I hope that is helpful.

@@josephbergsten935 Thank you for your review, it’s really helpful because you compare with other higher class Yamaha piano, as it will show how the we know its differences with the higher model. I also plan to have it for my children piano journey. Hope they will like it. Thanks man!

Even my P 515 has a full wooden core so I don’t think so.

@@wilde77 Well, I don‘t know about your P-515 but what Yamaha marks as wood is unfortunately not always full wood.

@@lukasburkel1250 I'm not gonna break a key just to show the wood inside. If a piano that cost me 1300 euros had some semblance of wood you can bet this one which costs way way more has full wood.

@@lukasburkel1250 And to settle the matter here's a picture of a NWX action key, the one used in my keyboard, courtesy of pianoworld forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2992688/re-yamahas-nwx-wood-key-under-the-surface.html

@@wilde77 Thanks for the link! I already knew this thread in the forum and that's actually exactly my source for that statement that these are not wooden keys. On this picture (www.piano-centrum-rostock.de/yamaha-natural-wood.html) for me it looked like it's plastic with wooden sides, but I was looking at the posts again right now and actually maybe I was wrong and it's solid wood.

Exactly what i was thinking. Got that crappy Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MKll midi keyboard. Keys starts dying after 1 year. Now i'm gonna use my CLP 785 as a midi keyboard just because the keys are so fine and great to play. Still, with my Mackie speakers and Kontakt Chroma piano, it beats the sound of the 785 dramaticly.

It's not on top like on most digital pianos. It's actually on the inside of the lid, just like on an actual upright piano
