#YamahaP125 #CasioCDPS350 #DigitalPiano

Welcome to another piano comparison video at the Merriam Pianos YouTube channel. Today we’ll be comparing two of the top digital piano options under $1,000 CAD in the Casio CDP-S350 and Yamaha P125.

When it comes to 88 note weighted digital pianos under the $1,000 price point, there’s not a ton of convincing options. Casio has really driven the movement towards offering good musical options in the price point, and today there are several viable options to choose from. The two we’ll be looking at today represent two of the most popular.

Casio CDP-S350 Background

Casio has said that the S350 is the model that serves to replace the PX-160, though you wouldn’t know it by looking at it. The user interface has been upgraded to feature a large LCD display screen, it’s absolutely loaded with sounds (700 total), and frankly, it looks a lot different.

Piano Sound

What stands out above everything with the S350 though is the sheer quality of the sound samples. Across the board, the samples here deliver a very high level of authenticity.

While I would say if we’re talking about the main acoustic piano sample only, I would give the edge to the P125, when it comes to the quality and quantity of the other patches here, the S350 definitely gets the win. There are 24 total sounds on the P125 compared to 700 on the S350.

In terms of polyphony, the P125 massively outdoes the S350 with 192 note polyphony, while the S350 only has 64 notes. If someone is looking for an acoustic piano replacement at this price point, this polyphony disparity is definitely a factor that would direct people to the P125. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something versatile that isn’t going to be used exclusively for the acoustic piano tones, the S350 is probably a better option.

Piano Action:

The S350 uses Casio’s Scaled Weighted Hammer Action Keyboard with simulated ebony & ivory key textures. It does not have escapement, but it does have a triple sensor which makes for more accurate MIDI output.

The P125 features Yamaha’s GHS action, which also does not have escapement, and uses a double sensor as opposed to a triple sensor. The double sensor shouldn’t be an issue for personal playing, but it does make the P125 a less than ideal choice for high-level studio use.

Between the two of them, I personally find the action on the S350 more responsive, whereas the P125’s action feels more spongy. This is a matter of personal preference, so you’ll definitely want to compare these actions for yourself.

Piano Features:

Both of these instruments come equipped with an auto-accompaniment feature. This is a super fun add-on that’s executed very well on both instruments. Navigation is easy on both, though the S350 offers a lot more options in terms of rhythms and other controllable parameters.

Both instruments have split and layer functions, and in terms of connectivity, both instruments have USB, but not Bluetooth. The P125 has the ability to turn off the speaker system, whereas the S350 does not.

Both come with music desks, as well as basic sustain switch pedals, though I’d recommend upgrading to a pedal with half-pedaling capability.

Thanks for watching!
