After doing quite some research I found a shop that had all 3 models so I went there to try. I ended up purchasing the Korg B2 for 2 reasons: 1) the key action felt a lot more solid than the other two; 2) being a fan of electric pianos, I liked the Rhodes sound emulation much more on Korg than on the other two. Design was also a plus, the unit looks just beautiful!

Great...I purchased the b2 two days ago. Great piano sounds, but what I noticed is that some of the keys when pressed generate a loud "clicky-crispy" sound. Did you experience something like that?

thank you for the great review , i'm getting the Korg B2 for my daughter...

This video is great, I'll recommend it to everyone I know who's also looking into this! Can't stand to see it have low views like this...

what I can hear from your video is that the Roland FP-10 Digital Piano has the best sound. and alone that can be why I might go for that model. But checking on everything the Korg B2 has to offer, it is the clear winner for me. Amazing video, so easy to watch and enjoy!

Good reviews, thanks for The advise

I bought the FP10 for my daughter solely because my local music store only sold Roland keyboards. I was looking for the P45. I have to say I am not disappointed at all; the key action feels very good quality, and while I haven’t used the Bluetooth connection yet, the basic piano is so easy and intuitive, my daughter can already use all the built in functions, and she is only 6.

I have the P45. It is excellent!!

Very informative…thankyou

Thank you very much. Your video is quite helpful for me. Doesn't really know whether to buy the Yamaha or the Korg though :)

I have the p-45. The upper range is a little too weak for me and the sampled grands seem to be a bit darker. I think I prefer a brighter sound so the fp-10

Thank you for a detailed review! If I am a beginner, aiming more to learn Pop/Jazz style, how will that affect my choice on key action? Will heavier or lighter keys be more suitable?

Tried them all - bought the FP10 without hesitation. The keys are brilliant and are them same up to the FP60 (which is more than twice the price of the FP10). Also you can get another 20 sounds by connecting through the app. Blows the others away in my opinion.

Is the built-in speakers on the fp10 sufficient enough? And does it have the connectivity for an external speaker?

From what I heard the Roland seems very responsive, but the speakers it had aren't as good of quality as what you have in the other two. It would have been interesting to see how these perform with quality external speakers/amplifier.

If you play them separate the P45 can actually sound good. Now you played it after the FP10, so everyone knows they should buy the P125.

Great video, thanks. I’ve been playing guitar for 20+ years and am an absolute beginner at piano (looking for one now!) but can tell Roland FP-10 has the nicest sound for my taste.

Hi, at the moment I have a Roland GO piano, but since it has no weight keys, I will switch to the Roland FP-10 convinces me best.

Hello, I have two questions, the keys of which of the 3 pianos you would say are easier to press at the top of each key? I have the Thomann D28 plus and here it is really hard to play at the top of the keys... And which keys are the quietest when you play with a quiet sound? Here my keys are really loud, so that it disturbs the sound... THANK YOU A LOT 

Hello, just a question because i bought it and i may regret the choice. Is the Thomann Dp-32 at least comparable with the 3 you show in the video at the level of "piano sound?" Because the price is similar and i couldn't find a single one of the 3 you listed on amazon, they're all out of stock.

Perhaps I will be the only person saying this, but... You have a very beautiful carper! 💚

Great videa, thanks a lot! I wanted to ask you about the korg. I've got one myself and it's the second one already that makes this static (white noise) kind of sound, with headphones and without. Do you know anything about this and do the other 2 pianos have any kind of noise like this? Thanks a lot!

Can you please review the alesis prestige and the artist. Thanks.

what about the key action? I have to get one for practice Would anyone here be good enough for practice sessions for grade exams?

Thanks for you Test. What are you think. Which digital piano have the best speakers inside? I need a digitalpiano for at home with the intern speakers. What is the loudess key from this 3 ?

Thomann DP-28 Plus and Thomann DP-26 are also good options for cheaper

The good news is that the FP10 seems to be available again

You resemble Hugh Grant in your way of talking and acting! Fun to watch. It is really hard to decide which digital piano is best - I am currently looking for a new one and is struggling to figure out if I want the Roland FP 30, the Kawai Es110, the casio px s-1000... so so difficult!!

@wekelex1

for a 7 year old, I personally think the Roland Go could do the magic, it has 61 keys instead of 88 but that's still quite enough, they are not weighted which would make the learning process easier - however they are touch sensitive, so the kid could get some dynamic feeling. And then in some years you can upgrade, for not really that much money but a big difference. Nonetheless, it has a nice sound and is half the price compared to all reviewed in this video. It's also very light, which makes it easily portable and even works on batteries.

I finally ordered the Korg B2sp today after over a month of trying to figure this stuff out. The three you've showcased are the three I ultimately narrowed down to. The Roland would have been my first choice, but it seems discontinued and sold out everywhere.

​@SpaceTube Hey, sorry for late response. Overall I'm pretty happy with the piano. I haven't noticed any big changes since I got the piano, some keys just became a little clicky and you can hear the keys when you play. But you can simply turn the volume up, it's probably not gonna fix the problem completely but it might help. Sound is ok in my opinion, I don't have much experience with other pianos. Just to let you know how big player I am, there are days I play everyday but there are also days I don't touch the piano for weeks. So yeah, I think it's definitely worth the money. Hope you'll still find this helpful.

@kaisfp

Ай бұрын

Yeah, he also said another thing that's incorrect. He said "weighted" means the lower keys on the left of the piano are heavier than the keys on the right. It is not called "weighted", it is called "graded". Any piano key action can be called weighted (more precisessely fully weighted) that has literal weight at the end of the keys inside the plastic piano body to imitate real piano keys' relatively "heavy feel" when playing them. But not every weighted keys are graded. Also not every graded keys are wwighted, for example the Yamaha NP series have graded but not weighted keys. I think the Korg Liano is the same. Not hammer action (not weighted) but graded (the lower notes on the left are heavier when playing compared to the notes on the right, but they are not weighted because they don't have weights on the inside end of the keys hiding in the piano body.

It’s a shame that the fp-10 has been suspended from sale in the us due to supply chain issues.

Roland is the Best🎹👍

Sir please choose one for me between Korg ek50in vs Roland E09IN vs Roland BK-3 vs Roland E-X30 vs Casio 9000in vs Yamaha i500. I am from India.

First decide, what you want to learn, piano or Keyboards. I have Yamaha PSR e463. I am from India and also a beginner. You buy a sophisticated car, even as a beginner, you can use most of the advanced features you paid for. But in keyboards, you cannot use those advanced features and your investment lies useless. So start cheap with 5-6 years usability. After that, buy a very advanced version. Then, you will get a far better one at far lower price, as technology percolates down..

The concept of this review is good, and I appreciate the sincerity, but the reviewer implies that unerring faithfullness to a typical piano sound should be the sacred mission of a digital piano. And that digital pianos are not real pianos. I disagree. IMO it's principal mission should be to substitute for an acoustic piano, and not necessarily trying to sound exactly the same. Electric speakers work differently to wooden soundboards, and the resulting soundwaves act differenty on our ears, so the experience can never be exactly the same. But a digital piano can sound very beautiful in its own way. What works, works. I agree with the main points and conclusions about these specific instruments. It's very hard to define a category for a review. Should instruments be grouped more on price or more on features? It was very good to mention the Yamaha P-121 and Alesis Recital Pro, which are surprisingly inexpensive, as is the Casio CDP-S100. The Casio CDP-S350 (bursting with features) is about the same price as the FP10, but this is not Casio's entry level instrument - the cheaper CDP-S100 is. Maybe this price oddity is why Casio is not in the review. Anyway, the review still gets a like from me. The Korg B2 is an underrated instrument. It has nice crisp sounds (less detailed than the FP10) a120-note polyphony, a very firm action, powerful speakers, both audio and MIDI over USB and proper line outputs. The optional 3-pedal unit is a real bonus too. There have been concerns about build quality in some reviews, but I think Korg got the priorities right for the average beginner/hobbyist. The PF10 is a bit pricey for an entry level digital piano, and there are no dedicated line outputs. It's action and sound are very highly regarded, so it remains a much favoured beginner piano for music students that follow the classical route and will take piano exams later. The P-45 has many fans, but it's very old technology, and it is feature poor. The price has dropped recently, so maybe it's still woth buying. I'd prefer the very slightly more expensive 73-note P-121 with CF sampling and a few extra features.

@Ultra Legendary Master What you say makes sense. The P-45 and P-125 & p-121 use the (inferior) GHS action. The best of the bunch you mention is the FP-30x, because it's the newest and the most expensive - therefore it has the most exciting features. In theory, it is not Roland's entry level piano, even thou it is often viewed as such. Roland has played a good marketing trick in this way. As soon as we complain about the price we'll be reminded that there is a cheaper Roland FP, but beginners will try to buy the 30x.

Wow, I had no idea that Roland produced ANY keyboards at about the same price point as a Korg or a Yamaha! Back when I was studying music (mid-90s) and back when I bought m first digital piano (2007), Roland was renowned--or so I thought--as producing only higher end products! The only musician whom I knew who could afford a Roland was a fellow music student who'd been blinded at bird from the incubation chamber. I ended up buying a Korg, because it's what a gigging musician had recommended. I'll have to rethink buying a Roland my second time around.
