I put the decay question to Bonners and this is the reply
Another of my colleagues has now had to opportunity to try the new models. He is of the opinion that they have simply adjusted the EQ to stop the sound decaying as fast. He said that he personally preferred the older models....
Well this is total nonsense. There's no way EQ can in any tangible sense affect the length of the sustain. Sounds like someone at Bonners, who doesn't know what they're talking about, has just consulted someone else at Bonners, who also doesn't know what they're talking about.

I got the impression that this guy was not a Casio fan. Also, the Bonners person who agreed with me about the lack of volume on the 500's also thought that it had by far the best action. So there you go. Only thing to do is to try them out. The small incremental numbering would suggest no massive changes, but they could still be significant. Well this is total nonsense. There's no way EQ can in any tangible sense affect the length of the sustain.

These are what we like to call B***S*** artists. Sounds ike someone at Bonners, who doesn't know what they're talking about, has just consulted someone else at Bonners, who also doesn't know what they're talking about. BTW ... it's "someone who doesn't know what HE'S talking about ..."

EQ adjustments cannot affect the length of sustain that a sample has, however it's certainly possible to extend the length of sustain using software parameters - perhaps this is what the Bonners representative was referring to?
Kind regards,

Most likely, but that's pretty big mistake to make. Anyway as usual one has to test it in person and play something slow

Let us hear the feedback from a person who bought the Casio hybrid digital grand piano GP-510 and who has had before the Casio GP-500. From "L. v. Beethoven - Sonata No. 14, Op. 27 no. 2, movement 3 - Kateryna Titova on GP-510 - YouTube" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMt...wyuzpjmgkjuav51w03c010c.1572564644063059 Simon Johnson 3 weeks ago [from 2019/11/01] I've had my new Casio GP510 for a few days now and I really love it. I had the GP500 before but swapped it for an expensive, brand new, Yamaha C1X grand fitted with a silent system because I wanted a 'real' piano. I actually preferred the Casio so after much anguish I sold the Yamaha and I've gone back to another Casio. In my opinion the GP510 has a better base than a small acoustic grand piano (even an expensive one) it's also easier to play at a sensible volume level without disturbing people several rooms away.Michael 2 weeks ago [from 2019/11/01] In your opinion, what are the differences between the GP-500 and the GP-510 on various aspects: piano sound, touch, etc.?Simon Johnson 3 hours ago [from 2019/11/01] @Michael Not much difference really. Perhaps a slightly improved bass sound and slightly easier to play very quietly but as I no longer have the 500 to compare it to it's hard to be sure. For both versions the sound on the headphones is excellent and the sound on the piano's speakers is less good but not bad.

Anybody found a more detailed review between GP500 and Gp510, beside those reviews on the post above ?
Any major update noticed(as they claim)
Speaker system and sample length ?
