CASIO CDP-130

Advantages: Cool digital piano. Made with high quality!

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: Here the “expert” writes that it’s bad, and they say he only learned about it by buying it .. so it was necessary to try first a professional comrade)))) In this price segment - the best option!

Advantages: Not.

Disadvantages: It makes no sense to talk about sound, everything is clear here and so - except that you can connect to a computer, but it doesn’t help much, because the main problems of this product are completely different.

Sensitivity is detrimental to the impossibility, the range of the response of the keys to pressing (velocity) is quite limited, when used with any soft piano, you will not achieve maximum volume, even if you hammer the keys with force.

Black keys are much more sensitive than whites, so even with the same pressing force, they sound much louder, which is absolutely unacceptable. Unfortunately, I learned about these features only after spending time at home with an already purchased product, so the only thing I can do is advise not to buy this tool. Such problems are often found in all tools in this price range, so save up for something more expensive, otherwise you will have to accept the wasted money.

Advantages: The keyboard is real enough. No worse, no weaker than the average natural piano (it’s possible to put a student’s hand, it’s possible to play seriously music). The sound is very good. Useful rhythms, metronome. You can save hands on this instrument without having a natural piano / piano.

Disadvantages: The difficulty in remembering the keys assigned to the inclusion of certain functions (transpose, change octaves, balance in Dual, Split).

Comment: A very budgetary and practical instrument for a pianist in a house, if there is no desire to have a constantly upsetting piano.

Advantages: The sound is quite good, the hammer mechanism reminded the long-forgotten feeling of playing the piano. Before that, Casio CTK-671 was heaven and earth. Still, 88 keys are not 61, although the old pianinki has a lot more timbres, but I really didn't need them. Management is intuitive, setting questions does not cause.
There is a transposition of the sound, you can adapt to singing or other tools, so as not to strain in the sharp-flat key.

Disadvantages: 1. Sounds quickly subside, the pedal does not help (also not a masterpiece). At the beginning of the first part of the Moon Sonata, the octaves of the left hand are almost inaudible at the end of the measure, regardless of the pressing force.
2. In the range of the small-first octaves, unnatural vibration is clearly audible in large decimes, tritons, and chords, where these intervals occur.

Comment: On the box was indicated weight - 16 kg (in the technical description error).This is a note for those who will take it by self. I advise you to look at a very high-quality review from a professional musician at https://www.youtube.com/embed/ykxztRlL-xo. The comments are also worth a look. By the way, after watching this video, it became more careful to handle the keyboard, especially the "throws".
Everything is very well described and true, but something about my instrument is different from the review. For example, playing with headphones sounds brighter than through speakers, although my headphones are some kind of Chinese noname. It is possible that in this model the manufacturer has already “twirled” something. But the timbre of the “Grand piano2” in the headphones is exactly metallic and dry. The pedal was replaced by a pedal from the old Casio synthesizer, it is heavier and does not fidget on the floor (at one time it was purchased separately).

Advantages: Corresponds to the declared characteristics.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: They bought a digital piano for their daughter to learn. Very pleased.

Advantages: Super store! In particular, the consultant Alexander :) Well, about the piano itself, the ratio of price and quality at a height! I chose for myself, tortured the consultant for about an hour and all this on the phone :) And in the end I became the owner of this wonderful tool :))) Thanks Alexander again, I'm happy :)))

Disadvantages: In the store, I didn’t reveal any minuses for myself :) They took the only thing symbolically for the delivery, but they themselves raised it to the 4th floor for free :)))

Advantages: The piano is very decent, the sound is beautiful. Of the functions, there is nothing superfluous, there is everything necessary for learning to play the piano and for home music.

Advantages: Value for money at a height. They chose for the daughter between Yamaha and Casio, the sellers tortured for about an hour. Yamaha has a better sound, but at the end of the torture, they suddenly found out that Casio adjusts the resistance of the keys! This is all decided. Actually regulated - 3 steps. On the "hard" even it seems to be heavier than the original piano. )) Yamaha does not reach this parameter in terms of a real tool, which means that discomfort is inevitable during the transition.

Disadvantages: The pedal included is something! Like a frog from under his feet jumping. A simple revision in 30 minutes with the help of plywood and a piece of rubber mat completely solved the problem. It is not clear how the manufacturer did not think of it before ...

Comment: Sound - in the end, no one bothers him to connect to the computer, we are not going to play on the transition)) The tool completely suits!

Advantages: It is a good tool, took for self-development. When playing on a full-fledged photo, I did not feel any discomfort, everything is at home.
- Ability to practice at home with headphones
- Built-in metronome
- Ability to communicate with the computer using midi (in the channel cable from the printer, which was purchased for $ 1)

Disadvantages: The main drawback is the headphone volume (40 ohm). Its quite enough in a quiet room, but sometimes there is a desire to make a chuuuut a little louder (this is provided that there is silence around: night, for example).
They say that yamaha sound better.

Comment: Elected taking into account the minimum price and the minimum required functional.
I am pleased with everyone. You can learn, you can sign up on the computer, you can click into synthesia. To the sound used, it seems that this is how it should be.
Adherents of an ivory keyboard and a mahogany body with inlays of unpolished aluminum are better to pass by this tool.
