I went for the 310.. i asked my girlfriend if longer is better she said yes. But she was surprised that I went home with a new keyboard. She said she was not referring to the keyboard during our conversation.
Jeremy, I purchased my Yamaha PSREW310 keyboard and it works AMAZINGLY well. And it compliments my Yamaha DGX205 Grand Piano and my Korg EK50. I have the ability to combine all 3 at one time and that is a BIG advantage for gigs and playing in church. Thank you for your input. I made my choice and my choice is clear. The Yamaha PSREW310 is well worth the money for me.
@@markrobinson3830 Hello bro, I need your help very urgently, I am interested in the Yamaha 310 but I have read many comments that say that the speakers have veeeeery little power and that they can hardly be heard in a small room. Is that true or is it just an exaggeration? Have you had problems with the power of the speakers?
Nice review Jeremy, on the keyboards. Also, that statement about the chassis been longer, "Longer, depends on who you are asking" at 1:42 was good humor, cud see you enjoying that joke
I just got the 61 key, PSR-E373 and I couldn’t be happier! Being a complete beginner, the best recommendations and honest reviews I found were from Jeremy See.
One of the things I really noticed with 61 keys is that I kept running out of keys on the low end when I would play. I really like the 76 keys but I'll need to get a gig bag to fit it :)
Jeremy, you hit the nail on the head about the difference in keyboard size, and how it affects you, and Shelly had the same problem I would at times, especially on the low end for some music examples tonrun out of keys, even though you could use the octave shift. I noticed that on my Roland Fantom X 61 key workstation. The mini key Yamaha Reface CP with the 37 keys can shift octaves on the fly, but that's still impractical on more traditional type piano playing, regardless of musical stylings or genre, compared to more contemporary phrased based playing styles. So yes, a very fluid and proficient keyboardist that is playing music with lighting fast runs, cross hand playing,or jumps, are going to run out of keys, at times even with 76 keys, depending on the music being played. I have a lot of sheet music that runs out of keys for a 61 key keyboard, but for the time being, the 61 keys are sufficient until I get more proficient. I can read difficult music, but have become so rusty from not playing so long, it's almost like starting all over again, and so much to learn and retain in memory regarding more advances scales, chords, improvisation, and all that jazz... or other styles. These two keyboard are a great bargain for the price, as is the Casio CT-S300. I just went for the more expensive Roland Go:Keys because it suits me better, yet lacjs some common features more other keyboards have. But for now, it works for me. Other than the Reface CP, when I am more advanced and proficient, the Roland V Combo VR 09, or the newer RD 88 stage pianos woukd be what I would want. But the loop jam feature of my keyboard, and the built in bluetooth compatible speakers, and other features suit me fine.
I'd like to get an EW310 76er (sounds like a mountain bike wheel size) for my children to start out on. The reason being is not just the versatility either end, but the intention of playing keys in split mode for bass frequencies and more fun. A low freqency barking dog on the left and a high meowing cat on the right. Or two players side by side. The use of USB midi is important to make learning more fun and creative and having that key range particulsrly in split mode appeals more to what I would expect from it. So yes, it's worth the extra carrots.
I agree with Shelley with having 61 keys, that you run out of keys at the low end, which in turn changes the sound of the song you are playing as you need to use the higher end keys, no matter what voices you may use. I currently have the Casio CT-S300 which JJacob mentioned, I have had for about 9 months now, having insufficient keys in the middle to low end to me is holding me back in progressing my learning. An 88 key keyboard is too long for storage and playing purposes for me, where the Yamaha PSR-EW310 is approx. 9.5 inches longer than the Casio-CT300. Appreciate the reviews that you do and make for us to make a sound decision when purchasing a keyboard.
I feel the new Yamaha PSR E-373 and EW - 310 are excellent keyboards with really great features and functions. But if the Yamaha PSR E - 373 comes with the same sound engine, amplification system and features that are found on the EW - 310, then it is a good choice for beginners rather than paying $70 more. But, for classical playing the EW - 310 will be useful.
In what situation u don't need the added keys im asking because im a beginner and this is my first piano im buying but i want to buy psr-e373 or the psr-ew310 but do i need the extra keys when im a beginner but if i practice alot and learn piano do i need the extra keys then
@@ksu3849 its been a month so i hope you've found the answer but really its personal choice intermediate and above piano songs may ask you to play a low bass note and high notes at the same time in that case a full 88 keys would be necessary but.. That being said most songs don't do that and if your more concerned about playing piano than learning specific songs then you really could get away with say 49 keys especially if you want it too be portable lol you cant really drag around a full 88 keys that well
The PSR EW310 is more useful if you are teaching piano to a student and need to split the keyboard. It gives more room for both to play simultaneously.
Many classics need you to have 88 (!) keys as they are written to be played on the actual piano (which has 88 keys). Another GIANT batch of songs (modern ones too!) need you to have these 70+ keys, they just don't fit on 61 at all (missing low-end keys mainly). So YES, do DO need the 76 keys!
When comparing the Casio CTX 700 with the EW 310, think of it this way: the going price of the Casio is $199 USD; the price of the Yamaha is $249 USD. It's better to buy as much as you can afford. If you have the physical space and room in the budget, go with more keys. 8 inches is significant when trying to fit in a small space. I like the cleaner interface of the Casio and the box style keys. The Yamaha has organ style keys. That's not readily apparent from images and websites or in videos.
I tend to agree with you. However, my next keyboard will be a 76 key version. Why? I haven't learned to play bass clef, I can't read it. I want to learn. There are some things that really rewrite you to play a bass pattern that is unique, the Theme from Peter Gunn or The Pink Panther theme come to mind. Sure, I can create a style that has that bass line, and that would be helpful in some cases, but being able to play it and having the notes to play it is, IMHO, a better choice. Plus, there are times when I'm trying to play a certain chord and playing it in its root position instead of an inversion is desirable, but you run out of notes on a 61 key device. Just my opinion.
Just thinking About what would be the best route to go, I already play violin and flute so am looking for a keyboard that would help me understand how music construction works re chords, harmony etc also a good accoustic sound would be most satisfying am thinking the E373 would be plenty sufficient for my needs. Thanks for your honest opinions.
Thank you for your videos, they are very insightful toward the different qualities of the different models of keyboards available. What is the name f the song you played?
Hi again, Jeremy...Interesting that, based on the sound from your video - the new PSR E373 and the 76 key version - seem to suffer from that old 'YAMAHA illness' of a 'mushy-sounding' middle register. The upper register is nice and bright (really acoustic-piano sounding!) and the lower register is solid...but the middle is - well...muffled (to my ears) Are you taking the sound directly from the instrument into the video, or are you using the ambient sound from the keyboard's own speakers into a 'room' mic?. I've written to Yamaha for years regarding this shortcoming. I have an REALLY old twenty-something year old keyboard (PSR-740) formerly the 'top of the line' for Yamaha's 61 key 'synth action' keyboards - and it sounds awfully close to my current PSR-S710 in that its 'sampled grand' sound is mushy 'in the middle'!! I run all my keys through stereo keyboard amplifiers - but even when the sound is listened to through decent earphones - the same problem is there. Perhaps YOU being a 'Yamaha influencer', you could ask them about this. I've tried and got the 'stock answers'...like, you need a better amplification system etc etc etc.
If you intend to buy one of these keyboards to use as a multitimbral synth with a DAW software, forget it. I bought one and the only patches that I can use with my DAW are the ones in the GM compatible 128 patches sound bank. Forget about using the nicer sounds in the other banks. The reason is that these low end keyboards are firmware crippled and won't accept MIDI bank select messages sent by a computer. These bank select messages are used internally but they are not accepted externally. When you look at the MIDI implementation chart, it is clearly written that these messages are accepted by the keyboard, which is why I bought it. To complement the Yamaha, I have to use a 20 years old module made by Roland, that accepts every MIDI message and surprisingly, has much better sounds than the Yamaha. Yamaha should correct the manual because it's not accurate. Or they simply could modify the firmware to make it more useful. Frankly, I regret buying it but can't bring it back to the store. As a standalone keyboard, it's nice but as a MIDI expander, it really sucks.
Well, I finally found the solution to this problem, with absolutely no help from Yamaha. When I contacted them about this problem, they told me that the PSR-E373 keyboard was only good for beginners and that the possibilities were very limited. In fact, the solution to the acceptance of the bank access messages, was simply not doing what they mentioned in the manual. In the manual, they say that you have to put the keyboard in GM mode by sending a SYSEX message. In fact, if you do that, you have access only to the basic XG presets and even then, you can't access the variations. If you don't put it in GM mode or you send a XG reset message, then you can access all the voices in the keyboard with your DAW software. Most of the time, the voices in the other banks are a lot nicer that the basic presets. If you want to get the most of this keyboqrd with a DAW software, just don't do what Yamaha says in the manual and everything will be fine. Another benefit of this bank access is that you can play the thousands of MIDI files that were made for XG synths because it will respond nicely to them. I hope this can help someone here.
@Jeremy See I have bought the two books you recommend for beginners. Please, when possible, make a video about extra books to help beginners and intermediate students. Thanks.
Hi Jeremy, Gymnopédie nº1 is lovely 😊 Nice music for Christmas time. That said, I’d go for the E373 for portability and the EW310 for piano playing. Also, do not forget that the extra keys will be very convenient when you split the keyboard or to give more room to play the chords for auto-accompaniment. It might also come handy for organ players who can share the keyboard between two different organ sounds and play pieces which are meant for organs with a double keyboard or two different organ registers. Of course the EW310 doesn’t have a pedalboard but for the first two years of organ playing it might be a nice compromise.
Hey Jeremy, could you please review the McGrey Bs-88 its a really cheap keyboard with some good things like touch sensitivity, a sustain-pedal, 88 keys and it comes with a bundle that includes a chair and a piano holder.
Why do you still have the YAMAHA psr-e363 as the best beginner piano? Do you still believe it’s the best? I was considering buying my first piano but I don’t know what to get
Probably the PSR E373, I'm planning in getting one for my birthday and the price isn't that much different (where I live it's actually cheaper than the E363). See this as an upgrade of the E363
Thanks for wonderful and clear explanation. As a beginner, which one should I start to buy a PSR-E373 or CT-X3000 if I later plan to upgrade to a better piano and play more piano?
Dear Jeremy I've bought the new PSR-EW310, It realy is a fantastic electronic piano. However, what kind of stand are you using it on ? - can't seem to find the right one... can I use an universial one ?
Jeremy, I like the PSR-E373 but I would like to be able to record more than two tracks. But it seems that the PSR-E373 has better sound than the previous models that have more than two track recording. It also has the lesson functions that the more expensive models. do not have. I guess I would hook the PSR-E373 up to a laptop via the USB cable and use something like Audacity to do multi track recordings. Also, is there a way to show the keyboard's display on a larger separate screen?
These are still good, if not better in some ways compared to the newer successor model now. Something with the midi on the newer successor model is an issue from memory.
Sir Jeremy pls help me to fix my psre463 .style not working properly when i select number of style the display shows.. Tranpose. Style vol. Functions.. Pls help.. Sorry for my english
Hey, friend. Greetings from Colombia. I went for the 373. Can you teach us how to play Gymnopedié #1? Erick Satie is my favourite pianist and the reason what I'd like to learn to play the piano.
Want to buy my first digital piano do you recommend the donner 20 or the Casio s150? Any help would be appreciated if there’s another digital piano for cheaper that works.
I think another key difference between the two is that EW410 has the leftmost key as an E while E373 has the leftmost key as a C. Although it won't be a huge issue. Usually Pianos have leftmost key as a C , it can be something to consider for someone eventually wanting to play a piano.
Hi Jeremy! Thanks for this great comparison! Are the LCD screens have the sames sizes? If yes, the keyboard graphic is not too small on the ew310? Thanks!
@@JeremySee Thank you so much! They are on backorder everywhere, but I ordered one for my brother that has autism. Seems to be a big upgrade from the ez220!
General question. I'm helping my niece to purchase a keyboard. I've played piano for 50 years on a grand so am not very familiar with electronics and small keyboards. Is there such a thing as a 61 key keyboard with weighted, or semi-weighted keys? Thanks
I would like to learn ludovico einaudi music I think I could get away with the 61 but I’m going to go with the 76 just to be safe with the promise of actually getting good at piano…I really hope you agree :)
Would you still say that this is the best - as you did 3 months ago when you first got it? If you were looking for a keyboard (and definitely need speakers) that would be your last one you buy (I’m 68, so I don’t want to buy another one) - would you choose the E-373 EW-310, or the SX-600, SX-700. Is the SX worth paying $1,000 more?
Hi jeremy I just want to query only about the link you provide is it safe to buy here online and can deliver in brunei and how much the total cost? because e373 not selling here

The PSR EW310 is more useful if you are teaching piano to a student and need to split the keyboard. It gives more room for both to play simultaneously.
Not many piano teachers worth their salt would be using a non weighted key bed to teach piano.
what song is that at 3:03?
Thanks a lot for the clear explanations on every review. Great fan of your videos, straight from Brazil.
Thank you for your specificity and brevity. Your videos are always a pleasure.

Hi again, Jeremy...Interesting that, based on the sound from your video - the new PSR E373 and the 76 key version - seem to suffer from that old 'YAMAHA illness' of a 'mushy-sounding' middle register. The upper register is nice and bright (really acoustic-piano sounding!) and the lower register is solid...but the middle is - well...muffled (to my ears) Are you taking the sound directly from the instrument into the video, or are you using the ambient sound from the keyboard's own speakers into a 'room' mic?. I've written to Yamaha for years regarding this shortcoming. I have an REALLY old twenty-something year old keyboard (PSR-740) formerly the 'top of the line' for Yamaha's 61 key 'synth action' keyboards - and it sounds awfully close to my current PSR-S710 in that its 'sampled grand' sound is mushy 'in the middle'!!

Thanks for your guidance Jeremy, finally bought 373
Have fun!
They make great controllers as well because of the key action. I gig mine with plugins. Lightweight and it feels good to play for a synth action.
Ты классный человек! Спасибо
Dear Jeremy
Thank you for all the great TH-cam videos!
Will you make a review of the M-Audio Hammer 88?
Merry Christmas!!
No. It's a controller with no inbuilt sound.
Hi Jeremy, Gymnopédie nº1 is lovely 😊 Nice music for Christmas time.
That said, I’d go for the E373 for portability and the EW310 for piano playing.
Also, do not forget that the extra keys will be very convenient when you split the keyboard or to give more room to play the chords for auto-accompaniment. It might also come handy for organ players who can share the keyboard between two different organ sounds and play pieces which are meant for organs with a double keyboard or two different organ registers. Of course the EW310 doesn’t have a pedalboard but for the first two years of organ playing it might be a nice compromise.
Yup! I started learning on the organ - triple manual with 2 octaves pedal board 😱 before I learnt to play the piano...
@@JeremySee Two octave pedal board? I'm sure you would have made a great goalie or back defender!
Yay...Jeremy, you are the best
very nice....
What is the difference betw. Yamaha PSR-EW410 vs PSR-E310? Is the new EW310 the successor of EW410?
Jeremy please help i need a person to help me set up my e473 yahama keyboard voices an rythms
You mentioned that the E373 can be expanded with voices, styles and music. I didn't find any of them to download. Thanks for your videos, are awesome
I'd rock either one of em but the bigger calls for more clowning if you play piano like that
Hey Jeremy, could you please review the McGrey Bs-88 its a really cheap keyboard with some good things like touch sensitivity, a sustain-pedal, 88 keys and it comes with a bundle that includes a chair and a piano holder.
Why do you still have the YAMAHA psr-e363 as the best beginner piano? Do you still believe it’s the best? I was considering buying my first piano but I don’t know what to get
Probably the PSR E373, I'm planning in getting one for my birthday and the price isn't that much different (where I live it's actually cheaper than the E363).
See this as an upgrade of the E363
@@Heorogargon hi, witch one you get?
3:13 what song is this?
It's called Gymnopedie no. 1
Thanks for wonderful and clear explanation. As a beginner, which one should I start to buy a PSR-E373 or CT-X3000 if I later plan to upgrade to a better piano and play more piano?
What song is it that you are playing when u tested the sound?
which piano would you buy the yamaha ew310 or the casio rx700
What is the difference between Yamaha YPT-W320 and PSR-EW320?
Dear Jeremy
I've bought the new PSR-EW310, It realy is a fantastic electronic piano. However, what kind of stand are you using it on ? - can't seem to find the right one... can I use an universial one ?
Any online website for beginners to learn please let me know
Jeremy, I like the PSR-E373 but I would like to be able to record more than two tracks. But it seems that the PSR-E373 has better sound than the previous models that have more than two track recording. It also has the lesson functions that the more expensive models. do not have. I guess I would hook the PSR-E373 up to a laptop via the USB cable and use something like Audacity to do multi track recordings. Also, is there a way to show the keyboard's display on a larger separate screen?
Unfortunately, there is no external output for the display unlike the higher end PSR-SX models.
Nice video, sorry i missed previous videos. I was met an accident few weeks ago. Now I'm able to do things😊😊
Hope you are getting better.
Is that piano tone is same or different?
Sir help me choose PSR E 463 VS ROLAND EX30 VS CASIO WK 6600
These are still good, if not better in some ways compared to the newer successor model now. Something with the midi on the newer successor model is an issue from memory.
Sir Jeremy pls help me to fix my psre463 .style not working properly when i select number of style the display shows.. Tranpose. Style vol. Functions.. Pls help.. Sorry for my english
Pardon for my ignorance, what was the melody name Jeremy’s playing in this video? Thanks so much!
Hey, friend. Greetings from Colombia. I went for the 373. Can you teach us how to play Gymnopedié #1? Erick Satie is my favourite pianist and the reason what I'd like to learn to play the piano.
Want to buy my first digital piano do you recommend the donner 20 or the Casio s150? Any help would be appreciated if there’s another digital piano for cheaper that works.
Do you have piano or instruments shop near you? If yes, try it out yourself. There's a personal connection a musician feels, which can't be explained.
Casio cts 200, yamaha as 50
Are they full size piano keys ?
On this side of the pond we use metric too, it's just usa, even canada uses metric.
I think another key difference between the two is that EW410 has the leftmost key as an E while E373 has the leftmost key as a C. Although it won't be a huge issue. Usually Pianos have leftmost key as a C , it can be something to consider for someone eventually wanting to play a piano.
Leftmost key on a piano is A
How are these compared to casio s1. Which one would you suggest. I only need piano sound.
Hi Jeremy! Thanks for this great comparison! Are the LCD screens have the sames sizes? If yes, the keyboard graphic is not too small on the ew310? Thanks!
Yes same.
Do you think the e373 piano sounds as good as the piagierro np12?
Need one PSREW 310 to purchase. How can I make a purchase with a reasonable cost?
100th Jeremian to Like the video 👻🥂
Are the keys quiet or do they make the plastic sound when pressing them?
Do these keyboards light up with the notes?
You can watch about lighted keys here th-cam.com/video/nRNe07bCHC4/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremySee Thank you so much! They are on backorder everywhere, but I ordered one for my brother that has autism. Seems to be a big upgrade from the ez220!
General question. I'm helping my niece to purchase a keyboard. I've played piano for 50 years on a grand so am not very familiar with electronics and small keyboards. Is there such a thing as a 61 key keyboard with weighted, or semi-weighted keys? Thanks
I would like to learn ludovico einaudi music I think I could get away with the 61 but I’m going to go with the 76 just to be safe with the promise of actually getting good at piano…I really hope you agree :)
Would you still say that this is the best - as you did 3 months ago when you first got it? If you were looking for a keyboard (and definitely need speakers) that would be your last one you buy (I’m 68, so I don’t want to buy another one) - would you choose the E-373 EW-310, or the SX-600, SX-700. Is the SX worth paying $1,000 more?
it's a good question. What is your answer Jeremy? Please
Hi Jeremy, thank for your reviews. Which digital piano would you recommend between CN 29 and CLP 735?? Hoping to receive your valuable suggestions.
How better are those compared to PSR 353?
Hi Jeremy, is it possible to record this piano directly to GrageBand (Mac Os app)?? As long it have Midi and Usb.
Yes it has MIDI in/out via USB. There are many, many apps that can add sound sample libraries to replace this instrument's on-board voices.
Go nuts!
I Played the PSR 310
Jeremy!, with a sense of humor 😀
Thanks, this is exactly what I need!!
Hi jeremy I just want to query only about the link you provide is it safe to buy here online and can deliver in brunei and how much the total cost? because e373 not selling here
psr e373 is good enough, in my opinion :)
Thanx bro.......
Very informative. For my needs I pick the e373 61 keys since I can travel with it very easily and conveniently 😎👍😉
Can you do a comparison of the EW410 vs EW310? I can’t decide which one to get.
Is yamaha psr f51 good
any idea when they bring a new DGX? the latest DGX 660 was released 2016... btw. love your vids
I don't work for Yamaha and do not have the information. 🥺
