Casio and Yamaha digital pianos - 03/12/17 12:04 AM
I was in Guitar Center last week trying out the Casio Privia's because they have a lot of them on display. From the 1st one I tried I liked the sound quality and the keyboard "feel" of each model Casio. With the weight at 25 lbs and the attractive pricing, I figured I'd buy one for a "knock-about" keyboard.
On the way out the door the Yamaha 115 caught my eye. Great sound, great touch, not that much heavier and on sale for $475. I spoke to the salesman. He said "why would you want to buy a Casio "toy piano" when the Yamaha is so much more professional.
That's where I got confused. Are my not hearing things correctly? I've heard others comment about the "toy Casio's." But I thought they both sounded really good......just a different "really good."
So......anyone have any of their own comments on the two brands? BTW I don't like that Casio PS5.....it sound like it's more for rock music.
