The Yamaha PSR-E373 is the “standard” model for beginners who want a more serious instrument than the PSR-E283. While the E283 is a great toy or starter board, the E373 is considered the point where it becomes a true musical tool for learning.
Why it’s a Significant Upgrade
The jump from the PSR-E283 to the PSR-E373 is one of the biggest leaps in the Yamaha line. Here is why it’s different:
-
Touch-Sensitive Keys: This is the most critical feature. The keys respond to how hard you hit them—play softly for a quiet sound, and strike hard for a loud one. This is essential for learning proper piano technique.
-
Better Sound Engine (LSI): It uses a more advanced processor that delivers high-fidelity sounds, including the “Live! Concert Grand” piano sample found on much more expensive models.
-
Super Articulation Lite: These are special voices (like guitars or woodwinds) that reproduce realistic nuances, such as the “slap” of a guitar string or the breathy vibrato of a flute.
-
USB Audio & MIDI: Unlike the E283, this keyboard can send digital audio over a USB cable. This means you can record your playing directly into a phone or computer in high quality without needing an external audio interface.
Build & Design
- Dimensions: 945 × 369 × 118 mm
- Weight: ~4.6 kg – portable yet sturdy
- Interface: LCD display with intuitive controls
- Construction: Durable plastic chassis with Yamaha’s reliable build quality
Applications
- Beginners: Guided lessons and Smart Chord simplify learning
- Intermediate Players: Touch sensitivity and DSP effects allow expressive playing
- Practice: Built‑in metronome, arpeggiator, and song library
- Performance: Wide range of voices and styles suitable for live use in small venues
- Recording/Production: USB MIDI connectivity for DAW integration.
Recommendation: If you are a beginner planning to take lessons, always choose at least the E373 (or E383) over the E283. The touch sensitivity alone makes it a much better long-term investment for your fingers.
