The Yamaha PSR-E283 is an entry-level, 61-key portable keyboard designed primarily for absolute beginners, children, and hobbyists.1 Released as the successor to the popular PSR-E273, it focuses on making the early stages of learning music fun and interactive through “gamified” features.
Specifications
The PSR-E283 is packed with tools to keep new players engaged:
-
Quiz Mode: A unique “ear-training” feature that plays sounds or notes and asks you to identify them on the keyboard.
-
Smart Chord: Allows you to play musically correct chords using just one finger—perfect for beginners who want to play along with songs before they’ve mastered complex fingerings.
-
Duo Mode: Splits the keyboard into two identical halves (two middle C’s), allowing a teacher and student to sit side-by-side and play the same notes simultaneously.
-
Lesson Functions: Includes a 3-step lesson system (Listen & Learn, Timing, and Waiting) to help you master the 122 built-in songs.
-
Sound Library: Comes with 410 high-quality voices (including a grand piano) and 150 auto-accompaniment styles that act as a virtual backing band.
PSR-E283 vs. PSR-E273
If you are deciding between the new model and its predecessor, here are the main upgrades in the E283:
-
More Content: 410 voices (up from 401) and 150 styles (up from 143).
-
Expanded Songbook: 122 built-in songs compared to 112 in the older model.
-
Refined Design: Subtle interface updates for easier navigation.
Note on Touch Sensitivity: Unlike the higher-end PSR-E383, the PSR-E283 is not touch-sensitive.11 This means the volume stays the same regardless of how hard or soft you press the keys. This is common for entry-level boards but is something to consider if you want to develop more expressive piano dynamics.
