    This is exactly what people need to make, videos of the sounds the board makes because this is what people look for when wanting to know about the board.

      Thank you CVM! My thoughts exactly, I've always tried to make these reviews for people choosing a keyboard. That's also why I keep the tunes very very simple - so people can really hear the timbre of the individual tones. Thanks so much for 'getting it' !

    Have the same keyboard but it's PSR E244. Bought mine in Fukouka, Japan 5 years ago and it's all in Japanese. Watched your video and given me guides on how and what to do. Thanks!

    A couple of weeks ago I bought a used PSR E253(as a collection). What made me felt disappointed about the PSR E253 compared to its predecessor PSR E243. The PSR E243 model has USB host, but the successor PSR E253 has none. It doesn't make sense at all 😂. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think PSR E243 was the last PSR E series that has Tempo setting feature .

      You're local music store would be able to sort out a package deal for you, I'm sure. Personally I'd just buy one second hand, grab some basic headphones from a department store which will replace them if there are any problems, and just use TH-cam for learning the songs/styles you desire :)

    Hi Keith, nice little keyboard.
    Personally, I would advise any beginner to go for the PSR E343 though, because it is touch sensitive and it has 9 registration memory slot, as well as an aux in for a MP3 player.
    Nice set of sounds on the E243.
    Granted, the Grand Piano is a disaster, but there are some decent sounds such as the electrical pianos, the clavi, the organs are esp. good for an entry- level keyboard. A lot of looping on the string sounds, but well... And that baritone Sax really sucks... 😱
    On the other hand, the more recent PSR E360, which is supposedly meant to replace the PSR E2xx series, is a disaster. It does have the sensitive keys but it lost the USB connectivity in the process, which is a shame since Yamaha USB-enabled beginner keyboards are usually class-compliant, which means quite a lot of fun with iPad apps, etc.
    Regards.
