🎹 Yamaha P515 vs Roland FP60X | Action Comparison | PHA-4 vs NWX 🎹

#KeyboardAction Hello! Today we&going to be doing an in-depth comparison of the action on the Yamaha P515 and the Roland FP60X. Please like, subscribe and hit that notification bell! Given that the FP60X is equipped with the PHA4 action, which is a plastic-based key action, some viewers may be wondering why we’re not comparing the FP90X to the Yamaha P515 since both of those pianos use a wood-based action. Well, the reality is that the 90X costs about 50% more than the 515, whereas the 60X and 515 are priced much closer together. The other consideration is that while the PHA4 action is plastic-based, it’s still a very high-quality, pro-level action with escapement and triple sensor detection, two specs you’ll also find on the 515’s Natural Wood X action. The differences between plastic and wood actions are that wood actions tend to be quieter, and you feel less vibrations from the body of the instrument coming through. In the case of this comparison, both of these actions tend to be on the heavier side - in fact, the NWX action is easily one of the heaviest digital piano key actions out there, even heavier than most grand piano actions. Both sets of keytops have textures, with an ivory texture on the PHA4’s white keys and a matte finish on the black, whereas the NWX has a matte finish on the white keys and an ebony texture on the black.
