Yamaha P-45 Vs Casio CDP-S110: Which is better for beginners? | MusicRadar
April 4, 2022 - The minimalist control layout and more compact frame mean it instantly looks more modern when compared to the P-45. The Casio would quite happily sit on a desk with no problems at all, while the chunky nature of the P-45 means the Yamaha feels ...

I'm a begginer and looking for a piano. I did a lot of research and also availability in my region and came down to these three pianos. Which one would you recommend? Thanks!

I can’t speak to Casio, but personally I found the key action on the FP-10 to be much more satisfying than the Yamaha. It’s the same key action found on some of the much more expensive Roland’s as well. An amazing value honestly.

Agree with happyhippiecamper. I have an FP10 and it’s insane value. I tried the kawai ca48 and a few others below it, none of them match the Roland 10. So yea, it indeed is insane value for money. That said, being the owner of a 2 year old fp-10, it can have 1-2 dead keys like mine does now. Mine isn’t under warranty and the keys are on the edge of the board so I haven’t gotten it fixed yet. Anyway, I think it can happen to any DP. Also, the key action is a bit heavier than acoustic uprights (I have compared it to the kawai k series), but you can adjust it as well. In short, go for the FP10! In fact, nytimes in one of their articles also mentioned that it punches way above its weight

Hey there everyone, so I'm finally picking up a keyboard to learn to play and I've been using FB marketplace to find a deal on a used one as well as reddit to research..
I've narrowed it down to two options:
the Yamaha P-45 and Casio CDP-S110
both are $250. from reading reddit the consensus kind of seems to be to usually pick yamaha if it's an option but i feel like for the same price the casio is a better option perhaps? The slimmer build definitely helps because i have limited space as well but i figured I'd ask around to see what more knowledgeable folks thought. thanks!

They are very similar, and both Casio and Yamaha make nice pianos. The speakers in the Yamaha might be a little bit better but the Casio will allow using batteries, if that would ever be an advantage. Pick whichever you prefer, good luck!

I would pick Yamaha. If possible, go to a store to try them out.

The 5 Best Stage Pianos for Beginners. - Kenny's Music Blog
June 6, 2022 - The CDP-S110 is slimline and very portable. Weighing in at 10.5kg, it is the lightest piano on my list. You do get a sewing machine sustain pedal with the CDP-S110 but like the Yamaha P-45, you do not have the option to upgrade to a 3 pedal system.

Can’t speak for sound, but in terms of touch the P-45 should have the better keyboard for learning piano. Being more compact is unfortunately the opposite of what you want for a piano’s playability.

In my experience with the P-45 compared to older models in the CDP series (the CDP-S100 and S150), the Yamaha had a noticeably better feel. At the time, the CDP model was $50 less than the Yamaha, and I'd have happily paid the difference if I'd been planning to buy (my local Guitar Center had both at the time, so I tried them out.)

Which one would be better for a complete beginner? And please don't recommend anything beyond these two! These were from what I looked up the best in my price range.
I watched a lot of reviews of them and some comparisons but that didn't really sway me to one over the other. So I would appreciate some advice.

Yamaha P-45, definitely. I played on both side by side in a Guitar Center because I was curious about them, and the action on the CDP-S100 and S150 was noticeably worse, despite the very small difference in price. If you've never played on anything else, you might not mind the Casio action, but to me, it still had a bit of that springy feel that's typical of the cheaper synth and semi-weighted actions. The Yamaha P-45 action felt smoother and more responsive.

Yamaha P45 has very good weight that a beginner will find pleasant but also needed for appropriate expression / feedback. Sound is very good and the size is compact

Now, if you’re deciding between the Casio CDP-S110 vs Casio CDP-S100, it’s worth nothing that the extra bit of processing power that the CDP-S110 is packing gives it a subtle improvement over its predecessor.
