Yamaha CLP-765GP Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Yamaha CLP-765GP a full 10/10. From the lovely textured keys with the weight of a grand piano, spacious internal recorder, and pianoforte tones, to the cabinet (which is pure eye candy!) this professional digital piano has a lot to offer.Â

Casio PX-770 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Casio PX-770 a 7.5/10, because of this Privia’s updates, value for the money, lovely medium action, and rich grand piano tone. It suits the needs of many pianists. The onboard buttons are accessible for beginners, because they are easy to learn, but I also think that the PX-770 suits intermediates very well. I also appreciate the minimalist soundbank, which has excellent piano sounds.Â
I did end up taking off two and a half points, one because the connectivity could stand to be better (No Bluetooth, or flash drive slot), and the other because the sounds aren’t very customizable when we compare it to other beginning-to-intermediate models. The last half a point was just because this instrument is a bit older and has fewer updates than say, the S3100.

Casio PX-S110 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Casio PX-S110 a solid 8/10. This model meets its target audience well, and is an economical instrument. The Casio PX-S1100 has had a sound system redesign since the previous model (PX-S1000) that we really love. The sounds are good, and it has unique touch sensor controls. That being said, I found to action to be too light for my tastes, and wish that the non-piano tones were more convincing (and that it had more tones overall!). But as a whole, this is a great instrument to get started on, to have as a backup, or to travel with.

Kawai ES920 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Kawai ES920 a 9.5/10, because of its lush sounds, light, portable build, and versatility. Our favorite features in the instrument are the key action, stellar sound system, and overall bang for your buck. It also has a gorgeous redesign, which looks more modern with its rounded edges, and narrow depth. We ended up taking just one-half of a point off, because the OLED display is in black and white, and the non-piano sounds could stand to be a bit more polished when compared to the acoustic piano tones. But overall, we think that a wide range of pianists would do very well with this flagship model!

Kawai ES520 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Kawai ES520 a 9/10. This $1,200 intermediate instrument is user-friendly and has an excellent dynamic range. It’s responsive, and has a solid built-in speaker system. Advanced intermediate players will especially enjoy the grand piano tones, as well as the lightweight and moveable built. Another big plus for the mid-range instrument is that it has significantly more sounds than the beginner models by this maker.Â
If you are looking for a medium to heavy action, however, this keyboard may not be for you. The Kawai ES520 has a relatively light touch, especially when we stack it up against instruments Yamaha’s GH3. We ended up taking one point off the score, because we wish the instrument had Kawais newer action (Grand Feel III) and felt the onboard recorder could be more advanced.

Kawai KDP120 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Kawai KDP120 9/10. I really like the harmonic imagining sound engine, and the overall details that Kawai has put into this product, like authentic damper resistance. In addition to this, the update to their RCH action in the KDP120 makes the keyfeel of the instrument all the more realistic. This instrument has a lot to love, including 88-key sampling, onboard recording, and excellent reverb/ FX.
However, since the instrument doesn’t have Bluetooth audio or faux ebony and ivory keys, we took off just one point. Overall, this is a great intermediate instrument and home piano!

Kawai KDP75 Review
- Camera: -
- Flight time (m): -
We rated the Kawai KDP75 an 8.5/10. While this model isn’t the newest, it satisfies the needs of its target audience: Piano learners! We love the internal lessons that it has, as well as the stunning grand piano sampling. But because the keyboard only has double sensors (instead of triple sensors) as well as a relatively small sound bank, we had to take a point and a half off.

You get a lot for your money with the Yamaha PSR-EW300. This is a keyboard designed for beginners as it has a lot of built-in lessons, but it’s got enough bells and whistles on it that it might interest an intermediate player. However, it doesn’t have the full 88-note keyboard with weighted keys that an advanced player would require. Let’s have a look at all the functions.

We rated the Yamaha Clavinova CLP 735 a 9.5/10, because it has great practice aids, a realistic touch, and is an overall crowd-pleaser. One of the biggest selling points of this particular model is the Imperial Bosendorfer sound sample-And for good reason. In addition to sounding great, this Clavinova has a very sturdy build. Yamaha’s VRM, or virtual resonance modeling, adds the icing to an already delicious musical cake. While we wish it had a few more non-piano tones, we think that traditional pianists will love this model.

We rated the Nord Stage 4 a 10/10. This instrument is the newest piece of technology from Clavia Digital. While it is quite expensive, it serves the target audience (performing professionals) extremely well. The voices are both stunningly realistic, and plentiful. And, speaking of plentiful, the memory bank is huge. Between the sturdy build, stellar effects, and close attention to detail, we find ourselves thrilled with this digital keyboard.

We rated the Roland Go: Piano 88 an 8.5/10. We really like the connectivity, weighted hammer action, and Bluetooth speakers on the Piano 88. The transpose and record features serve budding composers and arrangers quite well. The biggest cons we saw were 1. There are not many voices and 2. That Piano Partner is incompatible with the rhythm feature. That being said, neither of these cons are going to be deal-breakers for this piano's target audience- Enthusiastic beginners! Overall this is a great starter keyboard that many will enjoy.
