Kawai CA-701 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
Here at BestPianoKeyboards, we loved the textured all-wooden key action and sound rendering in the CA-701! That’s why we rated it a 9.5/10.
This piano has real felts inside, and a long key pivot for a more acoustic-like experience, and allowing better control while you’re playing. We also appreciate the improvements that have been made to the two new models, including an updated virtual artisan, a new anti-glare screen, and new sounds. The updated Bluetooth helps with latency, and the improved speaker system is quite powerful.Â
We did end up taking just one-half of a point off due to reports of key drift after several years.

Yamaha Clavinova CVP 701 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Yamaha Clavinova CVP 701 an 8.5/10 because of its versatility, as well as how well it serves its wide target audience. My favorite aspects of the piano were the grand piano samples, textured wooden ivory keys, the large sound bank, and the built-in educational features. Sometimes, piano makers do away with the learning tools once the instruments get above a certain price threshold, but not this one. While I wish that the black keys were textured for the price and that the speakers were a bit bigger…however, I still believe the CVP line is for everyone, and that this instrument, in particular, has more than earned the descriptor: crowd-pleasing.

Casio GP-510 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
If we could rate this piano higher than 10/10, we would!Â
The GP-510 is similar to our previously reviewed GP-310 but better. This hybrid piano has a broader dynamic range than the lower-tiered Casio grand hybrids and also has an even more convincing design. That’s why we gave it a full 100%. From the all-wood keys to the high-end grand piano samples and stunning dynamic range, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better digital grand for the price.Â

- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated this hybrid digital piano a perfect score because of its stunning looks and technology. From the all-wood keys to the built-in piano studio and CFX sampling technology, there is certainly a lot to unpack here.Â
In short, the 809GP is a high-end hybrid that has us utterly speechless. Find out exactly why in the review below!

Casio AP-710 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated this Clavinova an 8.5/10 because of its new updates, as well as its versatility, key feel, grand piano samples, and well-rounded learning tools. We took off just a point and a half because we feel the speakers could stand to be bigger for the price, which is fairly steep. Nevertheless, the AP-710 is a brilliantly designed robust home piano that serves nearly every age and skill level.

Casio GP-310 Review

We rated the Casio GP-310 a full 10/10 because of its stunning grand piano samples, heavy and responsive wooden key action, and powerful, clear 6-speaker system. This advanced digital piano serves pro players really well. As a whole, the Casios GP line both looks and sounds great. Other notable features in the GP-310 include onboard orchestral recordings and pro-grade sampling quality. We also love the key feel of these Celviano here at BestPianoKeyboards. The GP pianos are very expensive, but you get what you pay for, and this model meets its target audience well. That’s why we gave it a full 10/10!

We rated the Casio PX-S7000 a 9.5 because of its combination of a heavy, authentic touch, rich honed-in tones, and its unique-yet-stylish build. The S7000 is a piece of beautiful craftsmanship and serves its intended audience well. It’s very similar to the S6000.Â
This model is meant to serve pianists who are looking for something high-end with many tones and is smart-device compatible.
My favorite features of the PX–S7000 are its unique design and updated sound system. While this model is much more pricey than the other instruments in this line, I believe it’s worth it.Â
I did end up taking off just a half of a point, due to the fact that this model has a bit less customizability than the PX-S6000. That being said, it trades this feature of a better grand piano and a new look.

We rated the Korg XE20 SP a nice round 8/10. While this piano isn’t my favorite Korg out there, it’s still a solid starter for an economical arranger keyboard. As a whole, I was impressed with the instrument's responsiveness and versatile sounds and backing tracks.
I ended up taking a full 2 points off of the instrument's score, because of the relatively low polyphony, and lack of wireless Bluetooth. I feel it is also worth mentioning that not all the sounds are quite as full as I wouldn’t like.Â
As a whole, it’s still a good keyboard for beginners to early intermediates, though!

We rated the Casio PX-S6000 a full 10/10 because of its stunning hybrid action, recording abilities, and tech-savvy onboard setup. The composite-wood weighted keys provide an even yet heavy touch that many players will enjoy.Â
The upgrades made to this model are very apparent. The S6000 is truly a cut above the rest.

We rated the Casio AP470 a 9.5/10! This Clavinova is a popular home piano with a sleek and shiny look, 2 grand piano sounds, and weighted, textured keys with triple-sensors. I ended up taking just a half of a point off of this model, because of its smaller onboard recorder, and overly mellow bass end in this particular speaker system.

We rated this slimline digital piano a 9/10 because of its stunning looks, affordable price, and lovely composite keys. This instrument values quality over quantity when it comes to the sound bank, but there are still plenty of ways to get great creative on the PXS-5000, such as by using the studio-grade effects or adding and subtracting aspects of the acoustic simulator.Â
I ended up taking off just one point because the piano lacks some of the valuable features of the PX-S’s higher models, such as the lack of mic input, arpeggiator, and less connectivity overall.

Yamaha CSP-170 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
The Yamaha CSP-170 has more finesse than the CSP-150 I previously reviewed last week. From its more powerful speakers and amplifiers to its crisp sounds and sensitive touch, I truly loved playing on this one. Plus, the natural wood keyboard is unbeatable!Â
I did end up taking half a point off of the final score. Though I liked almost everything about the instrument, it’s supposed to be accessible to beginners- but the price certainly suggests otherwise.Â
