The Yamaha P45 is a very good keyboard for beginning piano players. The piano has 10 preset sounds: 2 grand pianos, 2 electronic pianos, 2 organs, strings, 2 harpsichords and a vibraphone. The MIDIMIDI (Music Instrument Digital Interface) is a protocol for the communication of sound information between a sending device (for example a MIDI keyboard) and a device that receives the information and produces sound (for example a sound module). The information doesn’t contain the actual sound, but information of which note is played, how long it is played, which instrument is played, and so on. functionality of the P45 is available through a USB connection, which allows you to connect the P45 to a computer.

The polyphony of the P45 is 64 voices.

The P45 has 88 weighted keys with graded hammer action that has a heavier touch in the low keys and a lighter touch in the high keys which mimics the feel of a real piano.

The dual mode function lets you combine two sounds together; it’s for example possible to combine a piano with strings.

The duo mode function splits the keyboard in two parts which allows two people to play at the same time. This is very useful for piano lessons with a teacher.

The P45 comes with 2 integrated 6W speakers and has a weight of 11.5 kg (25 lbs).

Yamaha L-125 Keyboard Stand for P125 (Black)

Yamaha L-125 Keyboard Stand for P125, Wood, Matches the Looks and Feel of the P125

The Yamaha P125 is Yamaha’s best digital piano in this price range. And it’s for that reason that the P125 is one of the most popular digital pianos on the market.

It’s a bit more expensive than the P45, but the extra cost is worth it every cent.

The P125 has 24 preset sounds.

The MIDI functionality of the P125 is, like that of the P45, available through a USB connection.

The P125 has the same 88 weighted keys with graded hammer action as the P45. The polyphony is better than that of the P45: 192 voices instead of only 64 in the P45 (which is 3 times as many!).

As the P45, it has the dual mode and duo mode functions (see the Yamaha P45 for explanation).

The P125 has the possibility to connect external (powered) speakers to its AUX outputs.

An extra feature, not available in the P45, is the ‘sound boost’-feature. When playing together with other instruments, you can give the piano an extra ‘boost’ so that it is better audible and the piano doesn’t get lost in the overall band sound, which is a great option for live performances.

Another option that is not available on the P45 is the ability of the P125 to record what you’re playing. This is especially useful when learning to play the piano.

The P125 has 4 integrated 7W speakers and it has a weight of 11.8 kg (26 lbs.).

Casio Privia PX-870 Digital Piano (Black)

With authentic piano sound and feel, a stylish modern design, and the powerful new Sound Projection speaker system, the PX-870 is a brilliant instrument for inspiring brilliant performances. The PX-870's award-winning AiR Sound Source includes a new four-layer stereo grand piano which comes alive with realistic damper resonance, simulating the entire body of the instrument, not just the strings. The piano also includes key action sounds, key off simulation, adjustable hammer response, and a lid simulator with four positions. The PX-870 also includes string resonance, which exposes the sympathetic harmonic relationships between vibrating strings. Along with adding to the subtle beauty of the sound, this adds authenticity when playing works by Debussy, Ravel, and other composers who wrote with string resonance in mind. The PX-870 features a variety of 19 instrument Tones, with the ability to layer and split them as needed. With a generous 256 notes of polyphony, you can rest assured that even the most complex performances will sound perfectly natural. The acclaimed Tri-Sensor II Scaled Hammer Action piano keys give you the expression your performance deserves. The simulated ebony and ivory textures give you an authentic and comfortable touch, combined with an innovative hammer action that is accurately scaled across the entire key range. Adjustable touch sensitivity and hammer response allow customization to suit any playing style. The PX-870's innovative new Sound Projection system fills the room with rich, detailed sound. This powerful 40-watt, 4-speaker system is designed to envelop the listener and audience with sound emanating from various places on the instrument, just as it would on a traditional grand piano. The Volume Sync EQ ensures that you hear a balanced, clear sound across the entire frequency range, at any listening volume. The PX-870's convenient features are useful at home, in a lesson studio, or anywhere else. You can connect two sets of headphones using the ¼" jacks on the front panel.

The digital pianos in this price range definitively sound much better than those in the previous price range. This becomes clear when comparing the Casio PX870 piano sound to the Casio PX-S1000 piano sound. The PX870 sounds so much more like a real piano than the PX-S1000 does; the sound has more depth and in the same time also more clarity. The PX870 also has a much bigger dynamic range (= the difference between playing loud and playing softly).

For a beginning piano player, this piano might perhaps go over budget, but an intermediate to advanced player will for sure appreciate its sounds and features.

The PX870 has 19 preset sounds: grand pianos, electronic pianos, harpsichord, strings, organs and a bass.

A hall simulation feature simulates the sound as if you were playing in a big concert hall.

The piano has 88 weighted keys and a polyphony of 256 voices!

The built-in recorder lets you record and playback your performances. With the USB connector, you can connect the PX870 to a computer.

Korg SV2

Korg SV-273

Korg SV-288S

Korg SV-273S

The Korg SV2 is an absolute fantastic piano when it comes to sound quality, design, and number of preset sounds. The futuristic, cool look of this piano makes that it has a unique design. The SV2 has 72 preset sounds (which is a lot more than its competitors in this price range), distributed over 6 different sound banks with 2 sets with each 6 sounds.

The 6 sound banks are:

• Electric piano 1 (Vintage)
• Electric piano 2 (Various)
• Piano 1 (Acoustic)
• Piano 2 (Various)
• Clavier (Harpsichords, organs, …)
• Other (strings, choir, brass)

Connections with the computer can be made with either a USB connection or with the MIDI IN/OUT connectors.

The 88 weighted keys together with the very good sound quality make the SV2 feel like a real piano. Note that there exists also a 73-key version, which might be an option for those who take the piano often to gigs.

With the Korg SV2, you can fine tune each sound with the built-in equalizer and by selecting the various effects and amp models.

The SV2 comes in 2 different models: the SV2 without built-in speakers (so you will need external (powered) speakers, or use headphones), and the SV2S which has built-in speakers.

So, this actually makes that there are 4 different SV2’s:

• The SV2 (without speakers) 88 key version
• The SV2 (without speakers) 73 key version (also called SV-273)
• The SV2S (with speakers) 88 key version (also called SV-288S)
• The SV2S (with speakers) 73 key version (also called SV-273S)

Since this piano is really a high quality piano, it comes not only with the standard jack outputs, but also with balanced XLR outputs for much better signal transmission.

The weight of the Korg SV2 is:

• SV2: 20.35 kg / 44.86 lbs
• SV-273: 17.2 kg / 37.92 lbs
• SV-288S: 21.45 kg / 47.29 lbs
• SV-273S: 18.3 kg / 40.34 lbs
