Hey, just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your presentation of the p255.  I recently developed an interest in learning to play piano but had absolutely no idea  what piano to purchase. Familiar with the Yamaha brand, I googled it and one thing led to another and I eventually found myself here.  Your in depth analysis of the p105 vs p115 and p115 vs p255 helped me frame the right type of questions to carry out a further search. Satisfied, I purchased the p255b and absolutely love it. All thanks to your presentation and sample play here in this video—so thank you again.

I watched the P45 v P115 review and fell in love with the P115, immediately shopping for it online. Then I watched this and completely doubted my sanity. Thanks for putting the reviews out there to hear the sound comparisons. Context makes all the difference to judge a sound. Now shopping for a P255 :)

Once again, thanks for these videos! Do you know how the clp 545 compares to a stage piano like the CP4 in terms of the key action and sounds? I can't quite decide whether to go with a stage type keyboard that has more features (that I may or may not use), or an aesthetically more living room-friendly Clavinova. Either way, the most important thing is the action. ePianos.co.uk   1 month ago +Universe Spec-wise and sound-wise the CLP545 is far superior having 256 polyphony (CP4 has 128). Also the key mechanism on CLP545 is better, they both have wooden white keys but CLP545 used the NWX which includes the escapement mechanism too, it's closer to the real feel of a grand piano without doubt. CP4 is awesome for a stage piano though! but I agree it may not look so nice in the living room. Hope that helps. Thank you! This really helps!

Your reviews are fantastic, thank you for making them! I do have a question though. The YDP-S52 seems to be nearly identical to the P-255 (similar price, GH w/ ivory). Could a comparison be done between these two? People interested in the P-255 may also want to also consider the YDP-S52. I'm having a hard time determining which is better and I'm looking to purchase one. ePianos.co.uk   1 month ago +thisaintalex Yes, the specs are very similar, P225 probably just has the edge on quality of piano sample. However the S52 does have larger speakers which, if you're just playing at home, will make a difference. P255 is really designed as a stage piano, i.e. to be portable and taken out to gig with, S52 is more of a modern style of piano cabinet designed to stay in one place permanently. Hope this helps, I'll try and get a video up soon. Thank you for the swift response and for offering to put up a video. Mine would definitely be staying at home all the time. Fro...

Hello, thanks for this wonderful video! It's life-saving!!! When you say you can transpose the key of a song in both pianos....you mean I play the same notes and yet it can sound a few keys higher or lower??? Another question, can I connect the P45 to a computer? I am a singer that usually uses professional karaokes for live presentations, but I want to be able to play a few songs with live piano and voice, but adding electric guitar, bass and drums though a computer. I already have these personalized karaokes, actually, as mp3 and mp4 files; entire songs in which I only removed the piano and vocal sections so I can do those live. Can I actually achieve this with the P45?? Thanks! ePianos.co.uk   1 month ago +Kaylasa JaguarStar Yes, and yes. The transpose feature has been a life saver for me over the years, particularly when my singer needs the key lowered and I'm not clever enough to figure out how to play it, I just use transpose button and play the same notes, m...

very good presentation covered all I wanted to know  thanks ;)

Wonderful fantastic demonstrations and good musicianship.

Hi! I bought one P115 here in Brazil, you helped me a lot. Thank you very much. It will be my first piano. When I get a good performance I will send to you a video, and when I go to the UK I will surely visit your store to thank you in person.

These videos are really nice to watch, I'm going to buy the YDP-162 soon

Loving your comparison videos guys. Great info and well produced. :-) Very slick!

After watching your youtube comparison video, I ordered the CLP 535  online from you. I am absolutely thrilled with it! It took a little while to arrive but it is so very worth the wait!! The sound of a concert piano in my front room - it blows people away! Thanks for helping me choose which piano to buy. Can highly recommend 󾌵

Just a quick thankyou for your time and the excellent demos on YouTube that made me decide on the P255.   It's up and running and perfect for my needs. Copied a jpg of Hill Street Blues off the web and can play the first four bars, all the notes too!  Just need to brush up my music reading and theory.  Doing that on the commute to work. It's nice to find a "real" company trading on the internet rather than just a warehouse somewhere horrible! Thank you again, truly delighted with my purchase and your service. John

I watched your YouTube vid of the comparison of the CLP 525 and 535..it was what made me choose the 535..good vid and very honest and full of helpful info.. Steve.
