You nailed it regarding Donner vs. Brand Snobs! So helpful and candid. Thank you!
Jeremy, thank you for your expertise. I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I played the drum for years. I"ve worked myself back to my first love. Thank you
Lovely pictures of you and your family ❤️. Piano is an amazing instrument and so fun to learn. Let's hope 2022 will be a great year 🙏.

15 years ago, I got a Kawai D-piano for my kids. Best investment return for a musical instrument. Now I am currently shopping for a Arranger, probably the Korg EK-50. Thanks for your informative reviews and your singaporean accent. Huat ah!
Only thing I can think of to ask for is music piece titles so I can make a note of tunes I want to learn. 🤩 Thanks so much Jeremy for all you do. Your channel is the best 👍
Great video again, always addressing practical subjects, and a great demo of the featured keyboards. They are all great for what the are. The Donner is one of those off brands that will be shunned like you said, but it's hard to beat the features with affordable price. I still like the Alessis Recital Grand Prestige, but it's hard to beat the Casio and Yamaha with more product volume available and their reputable quality, features and performance. But like you stated, maybe the Yamaha P125 would be a better keyboard, for more money. The bottom line is choosing the right one for your budget and features and key action that suits you best.

Glad to help!
Great and inspiring video! Might I suggest an even cheaper and better sounding (though slightly more cumbersome) option? A used 88 key piano that has midi but does not sound or look as good can still have very nice keys to play. I have a Viscount Viva X with Fatar TP-9 keybed that I bought for around €100. Add a Mac Mini (2010)for €100 that is plenty fast to run Modartt Pianoteq (starting from €100). Then add speakers (I have SoundSticks 2 for €40) and you get the most realistic and dynamic playing piano that will beat all suggestions for sound quality and playability (not convenience, granted). I built it into the case of a gutted old and painted over acoustic upright and have never been happier. Great sound, headphone-ability, volume control and expandability (though modartt piano packs cost €50 each, there is a yearly sale and a yearly contest that gives you discounts.)
Amazing video, very instructive and helpful! Thank you so much!
👍👍 Thank you for taking the time to do these videos! They are super helpful. I was about to purchase the Donner then I found this video. Now I can't decide between the Donner and the Casio. Both have apps plus the other features (weighted keys, etc). Which is the more robust of the two? I used to at piano a long time ago. By the time I stopped playing I was an advanced beginner. Not sure if that helps in guiding me to a decision.
Thank you for all the great info. Wanting to start learning Piano , this would be a good way to that end.
Hi Jeremy! I'm looking for a solid beginners' keyboard with Bluetooth Midi around this price range. I've been looking at the FP-10 (500$) and the Casio PX-S1100 (650$) but I'm not sure if these are the best options. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Hello Jeremy. I wanted to ask you, which arranger brand is better for style creation, in terms of functionality and difficulty in use?
nice video, I watched an older video too with 61 keys. It would be very nice if you added timestamps with the keyboard names for easier re-watching since review videos often needs repeating.
Hi Jeremy, which should I choose to learn piano between a casio cts-1 or an alesis recital 88? Their prices at my country are around 270 usd for the casio and 335 for the alesis, obviously i am aware that the alesis is an 88 Keys but I have seen your reviews od the casio and it looks really good, i might have a device of better perfromance with 61 Keys than 88. Thanks and congratulations.
Hello to you . Thank you for your good videos. I started with the KORG PA4X Oriental 76.. keyboard a year ago, I learned well, but I felt it was still a little early... I sold it and now I want to learn the basics and properly. Which keyboard do you think is good for learning piano and playing oriental songs? thanks
Hi Jeremy, i have been playing piano for a year and a half now and i need an affordable digital piano for carrying around. I was thinking about buying the casio ct-s1 . I just want good playability and i was wondering if the keys are too light because the piano i am playing in the moment has quiet heavy keys. Love your content keep up the awesome work!
Hi Jeremy! I appreciate all your review very much. Now I’m considering 2 options: Alesis recital pro and Starfavor Sp-150w. Can you tell me your thoughts, which one would you choose? Thank you!
Hey jeremy, I've been playing for some time by now and I'm looking for a good piano that reproduces very well the weight and feel of an acoustic's keys so I can train better the finger strenght. Do you think the p45 will do for an intermediate to advanced player?
This is a very enlightening video, especially if you are a beginner. I would be interested in knowing what you recommend for those of us who have been playing a bit longer and don't have the money to spend for an acoustic grand, but could buy one of the better digitals, preferably one that sounds like an acoustic piano in a smaller cabinet.

Hi Jeremy! I have seen a review you did for Korg over yahama. I got interested in owning Korg Piano but I have few things to ask. Does Yahama piano series styles play to Korg piano keyboard. 2. Does it have Transpose Feature. In Kenya mostly we create our styles using Yahama style creator since most of inbuilt styles don't much our Music. Also we sings mostly in choirs with different Keys and learning most Keys needs time and a lot of practice.
A beginner don't usually think about performing in public. I've seen street performers with a cheap keyboard that may not have weighted keys on a portable stand. The closest option would be the Casio since it's the lightest to carry around. Between a Yamaha P-125 & 45 you get more powerful speakers & a few more sounds. For a beginner hardly justify paying more to get a 125 than the more basic 45.
This was really helpful! Thanks!
Hi Jeremy! I want to buy a piano. I am between Roland Fp30x or Korg B2sp ??? Which is better in your opinion? Wich sounds better? More professional for a pianist .... I really apreciate your expert opinion! PLEASE Help me decide!

I'd been getting by with a cheap keystation keyboard with a modwheel for the last few years. Then, I just got an 88 key keyboard as a gift. But it does not have a modwheel whereas my old cheap keyboard did have one and I used it a fare amount for string orchestras. I really want to use the new keyboard but the lack of modwheel is a huge hit. Does anyone have a tip or any suggestions. Or any recommendation for external controler that can be used as a modwheel? Thank you.

Hi Jeremy! I just want to say thank you for your videos. I'm 64 years old and have decided to fill one of my bucket lists: learn an instrument. The piano came in second, only because I really wanted to learn the drums but I'm certain my condo neighbors would be beating down my door and out of respect the piano became the next choice. I love your videos, especially for a beginner. I've whittled your recommendations down to making a decision and buying a piano. You have no idea how tenacious I will be to learn. My dream is to play one of my favorite songs and sing along, pretend I'm a singer and I'm on stage. Lol!

I was also interested in learning drums. Some older women on KZread seem to be able to do it. But, I was dissuaded when I found out how hard it is to keep drumming at a consistent speed without getting tired and slowing down. Very difficult. Without buying electronic drums, just tried to play along with Eye of The Tiger on my kitchen table. Many failed attempts over months. Now moving on to learning classical piano, which I have always loved. This video was a good starting place.

so i played piano consistently from ages 5-10 and stopped because i got too busy. recently (at 15) i’ve been wanting to pick it back up and want to be able to play in my room instead of the living room where the acoustic piano is. your videos have been very helpful to me making my decision in buying a keyboard! thank you so much!!
