It is actually the best unit they make for home use

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I just picked up this unit a few days ago and have been experimenting with it. I also contacted Yamaha to ask them their take on it. It is actually the best unit they make for home use, and actually it has hookups for stage use as well. It is very very beautiful, has great graphics like the screen that is actually blue instead of yellow, which is good for me, because I prefer blue to the yellow. It has 76 keys and many more sounds than the standard 61 key units that Yamaha makes. It also has many more synthesizer type sounds than their 64 key unit. You may want to get this one with some kind of stand. It is very long, although it is not really heavy. These units just sit on most stands so you can easily just take it off and put it in your lap. Everything seems to work perfectly, and like I said, it is stunningly beautiful and definitely worth the money. Yamaha makes excellent keyboards and this is one of them. Perfect for beginners like myself.

Great piano for the price

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018

Size: Keyboard OnlyStyle: E353Verified Purchase

First off: YES IT IS TOUCH SENSITIVE. Meaning: when you hit a key hard, you get a loud sound - when you hit it soft, you get a quiet sound. The keys, however, are NOT weighted: they feel springy - more like an organ than a piano.

The sounds are great, particularly for the price, with a large variety, ranging from organic (acoustic) to synthetic, and a broad spectrum in between. Plus built-in drums and some other cool stuff.

I got this for my kids, who have been playing a regular acoustic piano for 3 years each. Not wanting to be without a piano during a long vacation, I got it just to have it on the road, because it's light, and you can even take it on a plane as carry-on (at least on JetBlue). Now that we're home again, the kids still enjoy the Yamaha.

Bottom line: for $150, you cant do better, and you can probably do a lot worse. I wish the action were more piano-like, but, again, its $150, not $450. We're all very happy with this instrument.

For $100, you can't beat it

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

A terrific portable keyboard at a terrific price. This was specifically bought for backyard sing-alongs or travel. It's lightweight and runs for quite awhile on 6 AA batteries. I purchased about a month ago and have not had to replace them yet, so it's very energy efficient. Has a lot of sounds, including a very decent piano sound - Yamaha is known for it's quality piano sounds. I have not used any of the sequencing features or backing tracks, so I can't speak about them. It does allow you to plug in a smartphone to play along to your favorite songs. It has a port for a sustain pedal, and a port for headphones or even external speakers. There are two drawbacks, 1) keys are not weighted, they are synth keys. 2) Because the keys aren't weighted, there is no expression when playing, meaning you can't play the key softly for a soft sound or hit it hard for a loud sound. If you need this functionality (as alot of piano players do), don't buy it. I was prepared for this, and as the PSRE253 is a portable, second keyboard for me, I'm willing to overlook these limitations. I originally looked at the new Roland GO Pianos, but they are over 3 times the price of Yamaha! IMO, this is pretty good a little portable keyboard.

Update: after playing around with this, I just couldn't get past the lack of expression. I ended up buying a Roland GO Piano which is far superior in both sound and expression. I gave the Yamaha to my eight year old niece who just loves it. This item is more appropriate for children or a complete novice than for someone with a background in piano.

This is nice portable keyboard for any level, here's why...

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

This keyboard is great for beginners of all ages as well as a nice "portable" keyboard for any level. The built in rhythm and play along feature which allow the person to play along with one of the automatic preset tunes is unique in this price-point. Cool feature is the digital screen showing you where to place your fingers to play along with some built in songs. Some other important features are...

You can connect a foot pedal to it
It's great for traveling when space is limited.
Comes with stand that connects to the top of the keyboard to hold sheet music
Product Dimensions are 4 x 12.8 x 37.5 inches and Shipping Weight: 11.8 pounds

The only drawbacks are the power supply is sold separate, but you can use (6)-AA batteries in the mean time. The keys are not touch sensitive and do not respond to velocity -- but anybody that finds this necessary can invest a little more cash in the next model up, the PSR-E353.

Great beginner keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

Just received this keyboard a few days ago so I haven't even scratched the full capabilities of this unit but my initial reaction was very good. The sound quality is wonderful and touch on the keyboard is very accurate. I am a beginner and considered getting a used one to start but I am glad I spent the extra money on this. The built in lessons, the graphic display shows me what I am playing and should help me associate the notes played with the written music much faster. Not sure if I'll ever use all the voices and special styles on this unit but regardless of your tastes and plans for a keyboard in this price range it should not leave you wanting anything more. It's also very light for a keyboard of this size. Any unit with 61 keys has to be at least as big but I was surprised at how light weight it is. Very easy to move around and put away if you don't have a permanent spot to leave it out.

Works well, but you will need to buy an adaptor.

Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2017

This came quick, and works great, but it does not come with an adaptor so you either use batteries or you have to go out and buy an adaptor, which defeats the purpose and convenience of shopping online.
