Has this product gone up since this video? It is currently almost double the price of the PSR-E373. At that point what would be the reason to not just pay an extra $100 to get another keyboard with the weighted and ivory keys?
I've decided to purchase this for my son who is going to college this fall. He plays cello for the city youth orchestra, bass and keys for the church band. Thanks for your review.
I know Jeremy's reviews are accurate, he is someone you can trust. I was in the market for a new set of keys, and this is so affordable. I can't wait to get mine, Yamaha is my favorite Piano/keyboard maker. Thanks again Jeremy.
I have one and the sounds are great, not tinny or anything like that.Yamaha is the best make,this is my second one the PSR-E473. Best buy! The sounds are more realistic than some.
Went out to the store to finally get a piano. Was going to get a 373 but they had just sold the last ones they had the day before! I eventually caved and got a 473 and wow I'm so glad I got it! The weighted keys and better speakers have made it worth it alone. But all these features are going to keep me coming back to do more!
Great video! Keep up the good work! I am quite blown away by the quality these keyboards have nowadays. I started off on a Yamaha PSS 170 in 1988 - I lived in the former GDR, and my Mum "smuggled" it back home from a visit in former western Germany. After Germany had become one country, I got a PSR 500 in 1993 for my 14th birthday. I was over the moon! I still have both keyboards in my house today and enjoy playing them together with my 3-year-old daughter. I even used the PSR 500 not so long ago in a production when I needed a cheesy 90s keyboard rhythm. Now my production setting includes a Yamaha P 121 - which is also fantastic value for money and quite unique with its 73 weighted and graded keys and ridiculous portability, joined by a Komplete Kontrol keyboard and a MacBook Pro 14-inch and Logic Pro. I did move on from my entertainer hobby playing keyboard and rhythm at corporate parties and other celebrations. However, I still appreciate my two "oldies" for the fun they still give me. this PSR-E 473 could well end up in my setting just for the fun of playing. :)
The PSR-E473 is definitely a beast for the price. A spectacular improvement over the already great previous PSR-E373. You may want to read my comment below for more details. The PSR-E473 is comparable to the Casio CT-S500 in price, with the same amount of keys. They are both great, the Casio being and update of the CT-S400. The larger 76 key verion of the PSR-E473, the PSR-EW425 is about the same price as the CT-S1000V, with the latter having the 61 keys like the almost identical CT-S500, with the addition of the phenomenal vocal synthesizer capabilities. Both the Yamaha and Casio keyboard mentioned here have outstanding sounds snd features, with the Casio ones being more compact and portable if you are always going to take it from your home, or wherever you normally have it. Personally, I like both, and think the Yamaha slightly edges out the Casio in sound quality, especially those acoustic pianos with the realistic nuances of authentic acoustic grand pianos. And the PSR-EW425 offers the larger range playing capability with 76 keys. And the Yamaha has the microphone input, which is a plus for sampling and singing. I would get the PSR-E473 over the CT-S500 if you do not need the vocal synthesizer capabilities of the more expensive CT-S1000V, or the larger keyboard of the PSR-EW425. For what I need and want, the CT-S1000V is perfect for me, but I still would want get the PSR-EW425 later because of the 76 keys, as a less expensive alternative to a $1500 Roland RD 88 Stage Piano, or interim keyboard until I get the Roland. If 61 keys are fine for you, scrutinize the PSR-E473 and CT-S500 and make your decision based on sound and features, and if portability is a factor. I wouldn't bother with the Korg. For the price, I don think it can touch the Yamaha and Casio, and those they are a major company that was established long ago, they have, and always will be behind Yamaha, Roland and now Casio, thoughbthey make some great keyboards, likevtheir stage piano that has been out for several years and still great today. The best thing we have is that there are so great choices, at affordable prices compared to what was available just a few years ago for everything they offer including the expanded 64 note polyphony.
@@jjacob25101 thank you for your elaborated comment. Are you able to compare all of them with the Kurzweil KP110? I have a like-new second hand Kurzweil KP110 cheap rather near, that I could buy.
@@NAM999DnB I would have to check out that Kurzwiel keyboard to be able to comment on it, but I would think it can't compete with Yamaha and Casio at this price point and new sounds at this price point. I sm not saying Kurweil is bad, It's just not my favorite brand. Nord is great, but also not my favorite, but I would consider those if I didn't prefer Roland keyboard, but even Rolsnd cannot compete with Yamaha and Casio for the price. My Roland Go:Keys is more expensive than the Casio CT-S1/CT-S400 and Yamaha PSR-E463, the previous series, but it'sca niche keyboard that has limitations those other keyboards do not have for certain categories. The new PSR-E473 and Casio CT-S500 are generally better thsn my Go:Keys, except it's 128 note polyphony and it's phrase loop function at a lower price, but the 76 key PSR-EW425 and CT-S1000V are much more new advanced keyboard at a high price point, with the wider range key range and sampling for Yamaha, and the incredible voice synthesizer and sampling features for the Casio. But we are talking about arranger keyboards here, previously not considered professional use keyboards until now, with thec1/4" audio output jacks and such. My lsdy friend is a professional singer sbd keyboard player that often plays solo or in gigs with a band using an older upper level PSR series arranger keyboard, and makes use of thosr features due to her playIng proficiency level. Though Yamaha and other brands have great professional workstation keyboards, its hard to compete with the Roland flagship Fantom 6/7/8. They are in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, depending on keyboard size, but their newer, slimmer Fantom 06/07/08 at less than half the price is hard to beat. Right now Ivwouldcgetvthe Yamaha PSR-EW425 for the bigger keyboard, or 61 note PSR-E473 over the Casio CT-S500 but, the CT-S1000V has the voice synthesizer feature. I plan on getting that, but would have also wanted to get the slightly more expensive PSR-EW425 lster, but I now would prefer to wait and get the Roland 61 note Fantom-06 at $1500 or the 76 note Fantom-07 at $1700. But that's me. These two keyboards, and or more expensive Fantom 6/7 at over twice the price have an innovative semi-weighted keyboard that is better than any other, more like a cross between semi-weighted and fully weighted keyboard action. Toe, the keyboard action, sound and ither incredible feature make itbworth the price to me. But without the need firvthe voice synthesizer functions, the PSR-E473 has an edge over the CT-S500, and the larger PSR-EW425 for the wider key range if you need it is great.
Love that Yamaha finally upgrade their piano sound on psr-e, including e4xx series. And this one has a lot of improvement that e463. But I'm still happy to using e463 right now, at least I can use that as midi controller :D
One thing I've found out from playing electronic keyboards versus pianos-- ANY keyboard only sounds as good as the amplifier/sound system/sound board it's played through. Period. A 150000 dollar instrument can sound like garbage as much as a 100 dollar keyboard can sound acceptable when played through the right or wrong equipment. I've been playing since 1969-1970 or so; think I can be confident in my opinions.
BRAVO . . . BRAVO . . . BRAVO ! You need great control on equaliser settings through treble midrange and bass. You need to boost by a few decibels or your sounds will be weak. This makes and breaks all electronic organs and keyboards!
I've had a PSR E473 for a few months now. I just use it as a piano or organ which does very well. I don't even understand most of the features, let alone use them.
Yamaha is always at the forefront of amazing authentic sampled piano sound! The other tones and rythms are also at par. And the value offered at the price point is great
I would like to see you compare this to the CT-S500. Which after you purchase the power supply for the Yamaha, the Casio is $30 - $40 US less than the Yamaha, and the Casio has Bluetooth included too.
I got the keyboard about a year ago and I've been really pleased with it. One thing that surprised me in a good way is how long the battery lasts. I usually carry spare rechargeable batteries, but I often play without worrying about finding a power outlet when I'm not at home. The DSP1 and DSP2 features are great for creating analog-like sounds, and I love being able to tweak the sounds using the knobs in real-time. However, there are a few things I wish could be improved. It would be nice to have more customization options, like assigning pedals to articulation, motion effects, or live controls. I'd also like the flexibility to assign DSP2 effects to different parts of main/split/dual voice, as they sound cool on the main section but not so great on the bass. More LEDs to show the status of live effects and bank selection would be helpful. A dedicated save button for preserving sounds in the right bank would prevent accidental overwrites, and the ability to name banks would be a handy addition. I don't find myself using features like the groove creator or accompaniment and quick sampling buttons much. However, the percussion capabilities have come in handy when our drummer can't make it to rehearsals. Overall, I'm not sure if I'm the target customer for this keyboard since I don't make much use of the groove creator or accompaniment features. Nevertheless, it has become my primary instrument when playing with others.
Regarding batteries..... I left the keyboard running in Demo mode while I was out and the rechargeables lasted about 10 hours. More than enough (even if you get a lot of encores 😂)
Hi Jeremy I'm looking for a psr that has a grand piano voice like the psr 1500. This piano is warm and the sound quality is great. I've had mine for 18 years.
Hi Jeremy. Thanks so much for sharing this demo because it's very helpful to me. It's almost hard to believe that this low cost keyboard sounds very good and is capable of doing so many things. You're very knowledgeable of the keyboards. Keep up with videos like this.
Great video! I just bought the Yamaha PSR E475 and I'm wondering if you could do a video explaining in a very easy, step by step fashion, how to use the arpeggiator and change the settings? Thanks
I've got one of these. Brilliant machine. Only negative is it doesn't signal perfectly through line out when on stage. As an all purpose keyboard I'd give it 9/10.
I have followed your advice and bought this keyboard a few weeks ago. It's such a joy to play a song with this new piano sound. Thanks for the excellent advice!
Great review, great Keyboard. I got it yesterday ! However, it is DISAPPOINTING that cannot do 2 simple things that my Roland E16 from the year 1993, does : 1) cannot fast switch between A & B style variation (without fill-in) 2) cannot hold the sound of the split voice without the need to keep keys pressed down (for example, strings, violin e.t.c.) It does so many crazy things and features, so if it could do also these 2 things i mentioned, it would be flawless ! What do you think ?
Sounds good for a home keyboard, but honestly would be surprised if the core engine has changed from the PSR-540 I had from the late 90s. Could swear some of the patches sound identical.
Hi, very good review as usual from you, Jeremy! As a former owner of PSR E463, I'm sad to see that they didn't seem to take into account any improvement to the sequencer that was a real weakness in the previous model especially for editing back tracks. Still no pattern/phrase/loop recording, that would be relatively simlple to add and very much useful on a gear like this, to write down ideas and musical inspiration. The possibility to mute the arranger tracks was included in the previous module already. Another bad point is that the samples cannot be allocated to the keyboard now as it seems, hence pratically you can no longer play along using sample like we used to do on PSR E463. Good to see that they added a double output connectors (L+R) instead of a single one. Really good to have added Super Articulation tones, and increased the polyphony to 64 (still not a lot if you but enough for the six tracks). What about the keybed? Is that any better now? 463 one was not that good. Cheers.
@@creativeminds7897-pl2uc - DO NOT buy the e373, unless you only plan to use it in a very small room. The 2 1/2W speakers are TERRIBLE. And it doesn't have stereo outputs (L/R), so you will need a very good keyboard amp to use anywhere else.
@@creativeminds7897-pl2uc the price point between 463 and 473 is pretty similar, yet for the same price I would get this one (473). What is not worth is an upgrade from 463 my point of view as you would spend some money for practically having the same gear. No major improvement from features point of view. If you own 463 you can live happy as well and save 100 bucks.
To be very honest, the demos given by other channels on this keyboard don't really do justice to what the E473 is really capable of doing Really glad you uploaded your review which was long awaited and thank you Jeremy, for demoing the keyboard the way it is meant to be played! Great Video as Always!!
I bought the PSR-473 after watching this review!! Keyboard newbie here. Just wanna ask, is there a way to play and keep it on a loop? Is there such a feature?
Great summary review Jeremy, looking forward to more with the 473/425 if you have access to one. This looks like it blows away the new Casiotone CT-S500; especially with the mic with gain/effects feature. Looking forward to when these become available (still not even listed on retailer sites in Canada) - hoping to get the EW425
Jeremy, I keep on watching your videos, especially certain ones like this. I love these Yamahas and the Casios, but if I were to get just one between the PSR-E473 and the CT-S500, I would go with this one. Especially now that it has 64 note polyphony, the pitch bend wheel, microphone and selectable track playing, and voice selection. That is so cool. But since I am blown away with the CT-S1000V, as the vocal synthesizer is like a dream come true for what I want to do, I will get that first, and the PSR-EW425 for church later. The CT-S1 is still the best $200 keyboard for all the bread and butter basics and compact portability, the advantage Casio has over the Yamahas if you have to lug it around to gigs, church, or wherever. It's great but new series have the 1/4" audio output jack now. Both companies seems to have been monitoring input and comments, maybe largely from your channel here, maybe even my comment and insights and addressed pretty music everything on our wish lists, and so much more. For a church keyboard rig of choice, I mentioned before my ultimate gear would be that Roland RD 88 and the Roland V-Combo with the sliders for the organ parts. But the more affordable rig would be the PSR-EW425 with the microphone, or the CT-S1000V, and on the top tier of the rack, have the Yamaha Reface 37 mini key CP and YC. The CP has all the electric keyboard sounds to have a second keyboard to play another part than the main keys, and the YC has all the famous organ sounds and sliders. There's so much possibilities and choices. Like you stated, these are exciting times withbso many great, affordable and omproved new keyboard to choose from.
Wow, Jeremy See! Thanks for the tour around this wonderful keyboard. My PSR 373 only has DSP and not DSP2 . (One of these days I will have to read the instructions, and learn what that means.) The only thing that kills me on my unit is the display is like a bright flashlight in my eyes. I wish I could turn it off. On everything from USP's, computers, TV sets. They LOVE to put super bright LED'S that keep you up at night. I don't know why.. I have played guitar for almost 40 years and lost it. My 2 thumbs are ruined from a job that I had to strain them on all day.. So I went to piano, since I was pretty fast on computer keyboards.
This is a nice thorough demonstration. I've been a fan of Yamaha keyboards for decades, and I've purchased a few cheap ones that had some amazing sounds. Great upload!
Only 1 small miss by Yamaha is the Indication of the Voices & Styles Printed on the Keybord for Quick Live use may be a prob but can be managed by taking a print of it and stuck on the side as many other keyboards do notify and is a breeze using if needed
Here in Singapore, the EW425 costs 30% more than the E473. Thus, the deciding factor to choose EW425 over E473 is whether the "YC" Organ sounds in EW425 is worth that price, besides having 76 keys. How many of the 36 organ sounds are "YC"? A video comparing the organ sounds on these 2 keyboards will be much appreciated.
Great video again, Jeremy. It helps me to decide which keyboard I want to get. All of them. 😜 Like I said previously at different times, Yamaha and Casio are constantly improving and hitting it out of the ballpark for the pricepoint and genre of these keyboards, but this new generation of keyboards addresses lots of the things lacking on the previous editions. The pitchbend wheel, and this keyboard along with the 76 key version PSR-EW425 offered previously give that extra octave some players need. And both these Yamaha and the Casio CT-S500 and CT-S1000V already have the pitchbend wheel and the much desired 1/4" main audio outputs, instead of the minijack headphone/audio out jack. This makes it much more simple and convenient for church and gigging musicians to use pro audio sound reinforcement. Roland has been my favorite brand, but their focus is not arranger keyboards, and the closest is my Go:Keys, when is in a different category by design, and several years ago at the price of this keyboard. But it works for me, especially with 128 key polyphony. I opted for the more expensive Go:Keys at the time over the PSR-E373 because of brand preference, availability, and having more funds at that time, and also, the arranger functions not being major consideration. The phrase loop function is potentially more useful to me, but even my Roland has a minijack headphone/audio output. But also has BT connectivity built in. IMHO, the PSR-E473 edges out the CT-S500, but I have to scrutinize the voice tone comparisons, as both have kicked up audio qualities, but the realism of the acoustic piano on the PSR-E473 is amazing. Like I said, I am glad I didn't get the PSR-E373, or the CT-S1 later. My Go:Keys is still a great keyboard with lots of great sounds, but for my next keyboard, I probably would get the 76 key PSR-EW425, which I may get later for a less expensive alternative to the Roland RD 88 for church, but the CT-S1000V with the vocal synthesizer capabilities added to the CT-S500 is a game changer for what I want to do, and anyone wanting to include innovative background vocals in live performance or music production, so that will be my next keyboard. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the PSR-E473 or the PSR-EW425 for those needing the extra playing range over the CT-S500 for most keyboardists, or aspiring ones watching this video, BUT to also check all the videos on the CT-S500 to scrutinize the sounds and features/capabilities to make the decision. An added note. If you want to sing during your playing performances or nusic production activities without a separate external sound processor and amplification, get these Yamaha keyboards. The CT-S500/CT-S1000V does not have a microphone input. That latter only has the voice synthesizer feature which uses a smarphone or tablet app to program background vocals played on the keyboard. I wishbot had the microphone but I can live withbthat withbthe awesome capabilities. I will just get a good headphone mic and stompbox processor from Roland or the others available. Now comes the other important factor. Price/Cost of these keyboards. I believe you stated that the PSR-E473 has a price of about $380. The 76 key PSR-EW425 seems to be selling for about $490. So the PSR-E473 seems to be on par with the CT-S500 at about the same price at about $380, but I just saw one listing for $280, and another for $480. The PSR-EW425 is selling for about $480, and the CT-S1000V at $450, with an original MSRP of $680. The CT-S500/CT-S1000V both come with the $80 BT adapter that is optional on the previous CT-S1/CT-S400. The choice is yours. Choose your weapon. Have fun, and enjoy 🎶 *FOR THOSE LOOKING TO GET A NEW KEYBOARD* I see so many comments asking Jeremy which keyboard to get and I repeatedly have to reply tgat he cannot make that decision for you, and makes it clear. If he replies, he will just reiterate what he says in his videos for certain things you may need and want. Everyone is unique, with their individual needs, music knowledge, training, experience, preferences, and such. Watch his videos and pay attention before asking questions of that nature, because the answers are almost always addressed there.
@@JeremySee There's so many great keyboards out there, in price ranges and features and formats to fit everyone's needs, except for those that are always going to complain about things costing too much. Tell me about that after spending $1300 on a 6 note polyphony synth in 1983 with archaic and limited sounds at the rough price of a Roland RD 88 Stage piano today and these keyboard I mentioned from $200 to $500...
I've been watching your videos for like a month ever since I started researching keyboards that start from low to high budget. I am learning a lot, and my standards were getting higher the more I spend time on comparisons. I almost spent my money on the older psr 70 because I thought all keyboards were the same; I realized how it wasn't actually good for songs that need clean tone.
Hi Jeremy. Which keyboard with built in speakers has the best, most authentic piano sound? the Korg EX-50L or the Yamaha PSR- 473? thank you for the great posts!
I am always amazed, fanscinated and mesmorised when players like yourself use both hands for playing different instruments on a keyboard. I have enough trouble playing a tune as it is. :) I've got an old PSS-680 keyboard that I had from new when I was younger but it has mini keys on, rather than full size ones, and even though my fingers are thin, I found myself tapping 2 keys at once, which was really frustrating.
I remember I asked about "Track control" on another of your videos about the 373. And this video answers that question. I am shocked that the 373 doesn't have this feature ! It was a basic feature on it's PSS keyboards in the 1990's, and very useful for just riffing guitar leads over drums and bass.
Do you feel an older Yamaha YPG 535 keyboard is a good starter board? I found 1 of these and a broken Korg M-1 and a Peavey KB-60 amp and a stand in a abandoned house trailer. Fixed the Korg for $500. Each works great and being the nut I am, I went out and bought a 2 tier stand and 2 sustain pedals. Now each has its own stand ,cover, pedal. Only thing missing is a skilled operator.
I own a Yamaha Tyros 3, a Ketron SD90, a Roland Jupiter 50 and a Yamaha PSR S970. My Korg PA 900 doesn't count, because I doesn't use it at the moment. I notice, that the older and cheaper Keyboards does an excellent job. When I use the SD90 drums with my Yamaha, I got a wonderful drum sound, that gives the styles more shine.
Oh, this one looks gorgeous to me. I am about to buy a keyboard piano Yamaha psr-e403 - seems like there is no these sample things like here. Hmmm, I don't know. Well, is that all right? Won't I regret about buying it? Will I be able to make samples on e403?
Looking forward to this keyboard.. I believe it will land here in the Philippines next month. Sold my Arturia KeyLab 61 for this. Thanks for the review!
If you used to play a piano, even as a hobby, you really should buy a digital piano with fully-weighted keys, otherwise, a keyboard would feel strange and your playing would be affected.
Hi Jeremy, Which one do you think is better? .. KORG EK-50(EK-50L)OR YAMAHA PSR 473.. in terms of sound quality , user friendliness, built quality and versatility? Im planning to buy a beginner keyboard. Thanks!
Hi, so can I record a lead vocal on one of the 6 tracks? Can you record a lead vocal long enough to one of the 4 sample buttons? If so, how would I trigger it in time for my song? Thank You for the great video! Is it me or does this piano sound better than the Casio CT-S500? Also on the CT-S500 I know you can save a sample then play it across the keyboard, and save it, but can I save more than one' of them. If yes, I'm pretty sure the CT can only do one sample across 61 keys at a time, but if I could save a few of those that would work for me. I hate the cheap dot graphics on the Yamaha. I thought I might get the Casio, but when you played the piano on the Yamaha I thought I should take another look at the Yamaha. Please let me know when you have time.Thank you so much.
Thanks for the vid Haven't spent some time deliberating I think this is gonna be the one for me. Would have been good to see a quick demo for the recording mode feature.
Speaking of the current market, looking forward to your take on the new Casiotone CT-S500. Just ordered one. Two years ago when looking for my son's first keyboard, we ended up with the Casio CT-X800. It just sounds much better than the Yamaha to us. And now he just upgraded to an Alesis Recital Grand. I have owned higher end Roland, Yamaha, and Kurzweil in the past, and the Casiotone CT-S500 highly interests me in this big sea of keyboards on the modern scene. We have to rely on watching videos and reading reviews as we live way up North in the Yukon, Canada. We watch many of your videos, and really enjoy them.
Great choice as an alternative to this PSR-E473. I love both, but will opt for the more expensive CT-S1000V for the vocal synthesizer capabilities, but still want the Yamaha, and plan to get the 76 note PSR-EW425 later, as a more affordable alternative to a Roland RD 88 Stage Piano, which I still may get later.
Hi Jeremy, I just started learning piano and considering buying one soon. I am choosing between Casio CTX-3000 and Yamaha PSR E373. which do you think will serve me better as a beginner. Thank you in advance
If anyone has direct experience with this and its predecessor, the 373, my question is about the touch responsiveness. I find that the 373, even with touch response set to hard, is apt to play certain keys extremely loud unless I am very (ridiculously) careful about hitting them softly. Is the 473 an improvement in this regard? If it weren't for this one problem, I would be satisfied with the 373. The additional features of the 473 are great, but not worth the price. If I had them, as well as a more consistently responsive keybed, I'd buy.
So I bought the 473 anyway. The keybed responsiveness is still problematic in my opinion, but wow you can have a lot of fun with this thing. The live control knobs are fantastic; some of the sounds have been improved. Plus a full 6-track recorder. You just have to be very mindful always to play with a light touch.
@@dannuttle9005 I don't experience any problem with E373 in terms of touch sensitivity. You can try different finger on the same key to see if they generate the same loudness. If not, it simply means your different finger gives different strength. BTW, the 2.5W each speaker system of 373 is not bad. This model is for home but not for stage. Let alone, you can hook it up with external speak system if you need it. @RedEyeC.
Great video with good details. I wonder how this compares to the Korg i3? It looks like it would be hard to see the buttons at night in a dark club environment.
What cheaper keyboard would you say has the best string sounds? Looking for authentic sounding violin and cello so on so forth. Under $200 would be awesome..
Hi Jeremy... I love the sounds on this keyboard, but I need keys with good organ sounds and the ability to control the rotary speaker. I don't see this in any of the demos of this keyboard... all reviews seem to skip over the organ. Are the organ sound any good on this?
I prefer casio ct-x 3000 same price...I was wrong about the casio ct-x 3000...I think the ct-x 700 casiio that is compliments it in a better way for me...I have barely touched by my new Yamaha PSR E-473 looks impressive and infinite in artistic expression...Thanks Jeremy See...🙃😀
Felipe from Costa Rica: Is it ñossible to improve the visibility of what appears on the screen? I sugget like very dark black lettering specially for smaller messages like ""mic", "measure", "touch", etc.

@@JeremySee - Thank you, you are the best! I will place my order later today.
How does it compare vs the SX700 in terms of sound sample quality?
Has this product gone up since this video? It is currently almost double the price of the PSR-E373. At that point what would be the reason to not just pay an extra $100 to get another keyboard with the weighted and ivory keys?
I've decided to purchase this for my son who is going to college this fall. He plays cello for the city youth orchestra, bass and keys for the church band. Thanks for your review.
I know Jeremy's reviews are accurate, he is someone you can trust. I was in the market for a new set of keys, and this is so affordable. I can't wait to get mine, Yamaha is my favorite Piano/keyboard maker. Thanks again Jeremy.
I bought a 373 last week on his recommendation. If he had mentioned there was a 473 coming along in 7 days, I could have saved my money !
@@johnny5805 u could return ur piano right?
I have one and the sounds are great, not tinny or anything like that.Yamaha is the best make,this is my second one the PSR-E473. Best buy! The sounds are more realistic than some.
@@patriciamassie8138 How would they compare, in your estimation, with the Casio AiX sounds?
I am a kid and i do chores for money give me a keyboard for free mrbeast 💀💀💀🙄😮😬😁😌😁😁🤥😁
Went out to the store to finally get a piano. Was going to get a 373 but they had just sold the last ones they had the day before! I eventually caved and got a 473 and wow I'm so glad I got it! The weighted keys and better speakers have made it worth it alone. But all these features are going to keep me coming back to do more!

I loved the way he played that ❤
Great video! Keep up the good work!
I am quite blown away by the quality these keyboards have nowadays. I started off on a Yamaha PSS 170 in 1988 - I lived in the former GDR, and my Mum "smuggled" it back home from a visit in former western Germany.
After Germany had become one country, I got a PSR 500 in 1993 for my 14th birthday. I was over the moon!
I still have both keyboards in my house today and enjoy playing them together with my 3-year-old daughter. I even used the PSR 500 not so long ago in a production when I needed a cheesy 90s keyboard rhythm.
Now my production setting includes a Yamaha P 121 - which is also fantastic value for money and quite unique with its 73 weighted and graded keys and ridiculous portability, joined by a Komplete Kontrol keyboard and a MacBook Pro 14-inch and Logic Pro. I did move on from my entertainer hobby playing keyboard and rhythm at corporate parties and other celebrations. However, I still appreciate my two "oldies" for the fun they still give me.
this PSR-E 473 could well end up in my setting just for the fun of playing. :)
This is beast for that price, so can you compare this with casiotone cts 500 or cts 1000v and korg ek 50l
The PSR-E473 is definitely a beast for the price. A spectacular improvement over the already great previous PSR-E373. You may want to read my comment below for more details.
The PSR-E473 is comparable to the Casio CT-S500 in price, with the same amount of keys. They are both great, the Casio being and update of the CT-S400. The larger 76 key verion of the PSR-E473, the PSR-EW425 is about the same price as the CT-S1000V, with the latter having the 61 keys like the almost identical CT-S500, with the addition of the phenomenal vocal synthesizer capabilities.
Both the Yamaha and Casio keyboard mentioned here have outstanding sounds snd features, with the Casio ones being more compact and portable if you are always going to take it from your home, or wherever you normally have it.
Personally, I like both, and think the Yamaha slightly edges out the Casio in sound quality, especially those acoustic pianos with the realistic nuances of authentic acoustic grand pianos. And the PSR-EW425 offers the larger range playing capability with 76 keys. And the Yamaha has the microphone input, which is a plus for sampling and singing.
I would get the PSR-E473 over the CT-S500 if you do not need the vocal synthesizer capabilities of the more expensive CT-S1000V, or the larger keyboard of the PSR-EW425.
For what I need and want, the CT-S1000V is perfect for me, but I still would want get the PSR-EW425 later because of the 76 keys, as a less expensive alternative to a $1500 Roland RD 88 Stage Piano, or interim keyboard until I get the Roland.
If 61 keys are fine for you, scrutinize the PSR-E473 and CT-S500 and make your decision based on sound and features, and if portability is a factor. I wouldn't bother with the Korg. For the price, I don think it can touch the Yamaha and Casio, and those they are a major company that was established long ago, they have, and always will be behind Yamaha, Roland and now Casio, thoughbthey make some great keyboards, likevtheir stage piano that has been out for several years and still great today. The best thing we have is that there are so great choices, at affordable prices compared to what was available just a few years ago for everything they offer including the expanded 64 note polyphony.
@@jjacob25101 thank you for your elaborated comment. Are you able to compare all of them with the Kurzweil KP110? I have a like-new second hand Kurzweil KP110 cheap rather near, that I could buy.
@@NAM999DnB I would have to check out that Kurzwiel keyboard to be able to comment on it, but I would think it can't compete with Yamaha and Casio at this price point and new sounds at this price point. I sm not saying Kurweil is bad, It's just not my favorite brand. Nord is great, but also not my favorite, but I would consider those if I didn't prefer Roland keyboard, but even Rolsnd cannot compete with Yamaha and Casio for the price. My Roland Go:Keys is more expensive than the Casio CT-S1/CT-S400 and Yamaha PSR-E463, the previous series, but it'sca niche keyboard that has limitations those other keyboards do not have for certain categories. The new PSR-E473 and Casio CT-S500 are generally better thsn my Go:Keys, except it's 128 note polyphony and it's phrase loop function at a lower price, but the 76 key PSR-EW425 and CT-S1000V are much more new advanced keyboard at a high price point, with the wider range key range and sampling for Yamaha, and the incredible voice synthesizer and sampling features for the Casio.
But we are talking about arranger keyboards here, previously not considered professional use keyboards until now, with thec1/4" audio output jacks and such. My lsdy friend is a professional singer sbd keyboard player that often plays solo or in gigs with a band using an older upper level PSR series arranger keyboard, and makes use of thosr features due to her playIng proficiency level.
Though Yamaha and other brands have great professional workstation keyboards, its hard to compete with the Roland flagship Fantom 6/7/8. They are in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, depending on keyboard size, but their newer, slimmer Fantom 06/07/08 at less than half the price is hard to beat.
Right now Ivwouldcgetvthe Yamaha PSR-EW425 for the bigger keyboard, or 61 note PSR-E473 over the Casio CT-S500 but, the CT-S1000V has the voice synthesizer feature. I plan on getting that, but would have also wanted to get the slightly more expensive PSR-EW425 lster, but I now would prefer to wait and get the Roland 61 note Fantom-06 at $1500 or the 76 note Fantom-07 at $1700. But that's me. These two keyboards, and or more expensive Fantom 6/7 at over twice the price have an innovative semi-weighted keyboard that is better than any other, more like a cross between semi-weighted and fully weighted keyboard action. Toe, the keyboard action, sound and ither incredible feature make itbworth the price to me.
But without the need firvthe voice synthesizer functions, the PSR-E473 has an edge over the CT-S500, and the larger PSR-EW425 for the wider key range if you need it is great.
@@jjacob25101 thank you again for your response.
Love that Yamaha finally upgrade their piano sound on psr-e, including e4xx series. And this one has a lot of improvement that e463. But I'm still happy to using e463 right now, at least I can use that as midi controller :D
One thing I've found out from playing electronic keyboards versus pianos-- ANY keyboard only sounds as good as the amplifier/sound system/sound board it's played through. Period. A 150000 dollar instrument can sound like garbage as much as a 100 dollar keyboard can sound acceptable when played through the right or wrong equipment. I've been playing since 1969-1970 or so; think I can be confident in my opinions.
BRAVO . . . BRAVO . . . BRAVO !
You need great control on equaliser settings through treble midrange and bass. You need to boost by a few decibels or your sounds will be weak. This makes and breaks all electronic organs and keyboards!
You are so right.
What is your opinion about sampling a concert grand and using it with a midi controller
Gotta run in stereo, pan hard left and right!
So you think a $100 keyboard ran through a great sound system will sound just as good as a keyboard 3 to 10 times the price?
I've had a PSR E473 for a few months now. I just use it as a piano or organ which does very well. I don't even understand most of the features, let alone use them.
Yamaha is always at the forefront of amazing authentic sampled piano sound! The other tones and rythms are also at par. And the value offered at the price point is great
Yes got one week and have ago. Now its my favorite toy, sleep late and scales on the way...first problem IS to playing with both hands...
I would like to see you compare this to the CT-S500. Which after you purchase the power supply for the Yamaha, the Casio is $30 - $40 US less than the Yamaha, and the Casio has Bluetooth included too.
In the US, the PSR-E473 comes with the power supply. That is a change from prior models.
I got the keyboard about a year ago and I've been really pleased with it. One thing that surprised me in a good way is how long the battery lasts. I usually carry spare rechargeable batteries, but I often play without worrying about finding a power outlet when I'm not at home. The DSP1 and DSP2 features are great for creating analog-like sounds, and I love being able to tweak the sounds using the knobs in real-time.
However, there are a few things I wish could be improved. It would be nice to have more customization options, like assigning pedals to articulation, motion effects, or live controls. I'd also like the flexibility to assign DSP2 effects to different parts of main/split/dual voice, as they sound cool on the main section but not so great on the bass. More LEDs to show the status of live effects and bank selection would be helpful. A dedicated save button for preserving sounds in the right bank would prevent accidental overwrites, and the ability to name banks would be a handy addition.
I don't find myself using features like the groove creator or accompaniment and quick sampling buttons much. However, the percussion capabilities have come in handy when our drummer can't make it to rehearsals.
Overall, I'm not sure if I'm the target customer for this keyboard since I don't make much use of the groove creator or accompaniment features. Nevertheless, it has become my primary instrument when playing with others.
Regarding batteries.....
I left the keyboard running in Demo mode while I was out and the rechargeables lasted about 10 hours.
More than enough (even if you get a lot of encores 😂)
Hi Jeremy
I'm looking for a psr that has a grand piano voice like the psr 1500. This piano is warm and the sound quality is great. I've had mine for 18 years.
Hi Jeremy. Thanks so much for sharing this demo because it's very helpful to me. It's almost hard to believe that this low cost keyboard sounds very good and is capable of doing so many things. You're very knowledgeable of the keyboards. Keep up with videos like this.
Great video! I just bought the Yamaha PSR E475 and I'm wondering if you could do a video explaining in a very easy, step by step fashion, how to use the arpeggiator and change the settings? Thanks
I've got one of these. Brilliant machine. Only negative is it doesn't signal perfectly through line out when on stage. As an all purpose keyboard I'd give it 9/10.
I have followed your advice and bought this keyboard a few weeks ago. It's such a joy to play a song with this new piano sound. Thanks for the excellent advice!
Glad you enjoy it!
can you split the keyboard with piano the the right and bass on the left ?
Discussed in the video. Watch again.
@@JeremySee ya right... i miss the bit 😁
What an excellent keyboard review. Color me impressed!
Great review, great Keyboard. I got it yesterday !
However, it is DISAPPOINTING that cannot do 2 simple things that my Roland E16 from the year 1993, does :
1) cannot fast switch between A & B style variation (without fill-in)
2) cannot hold the sound of the split voice without the need to keep keys pressed down (for example, strings, violin e.t.c.)
It does so many crazy things and features, so if it could do also these 2 things i mentioned, it would be flawless ! What do you think ?
Sounds good for a home keyboard, but honestly would be surprised if the core engine has changed from the PSR-540 I had from the late 90s. Could swear some of the patches sound identical.
Hi, very good review as usual from you, Jeremy! As a former owner of PSR E463, I'm sad to see that they didn't seem to take into account any improvement to the sequencer that was a real weakness in the previous model especially for editing back tracks. Still no pattern/phrase/loop recording, that would be relatively simlple to add and very much useful on a gear like this, to write down ideas and musical inspiration. The possibility to mute the arranger tracks was included in the previous module already. Another bad point is that the samples cannot be allocated to the keyboard now as it seems, hence pratically you can no longer play along using sample like we used to do on PSR E463. Good to see that they added a double output connectors (L+R) instead of a single one. Really good to have added Super Articulation tones, and increased the polyphony to 64 (still not a lot if you but enough for the six tracks). What about the keybed? Is that any better now? 463 one was not that good. Cheers.
According to you can I buy this or can I go for e463 or e373? Any thoughts on these?
@@creativeminds7897-pl2uc - DO NOT buy the e373, unless you only plan to use it in a very small room. The 2 1/2W speakers are TERRIBLE. And it doesn't have stereo outputs (L/R), so you will need a very good keyboard amp to use anywhere else.
@@creativeminds7897-pl2uc the price point between 463 and 473 is pretty similar, yet for the same price I would get this one (473). What is not worth is an upgrade from 463 my point of view as you would spend some money for practically having the same gear. No major improvement from features point of view. If you own 463 you can live happy as well and save 100 bucks.
@@mirkomontaldo - 100% improvement going from "output / phones" to "L/R stereo".
A wonderful explanation of the keyboard. I would like to know how you record the sounds of the keyboard.
I have recently bought this keyboard and I am having a blast... Even though I am still learning.
To be very honest, the demos given by other channels on this keyboard don't really do justice to what the E473 is really capable of doing
Really glad you uploaded your review which was long awaited and thank you Jeremy, for demoing the keyboard the way it is meant to be played!
Great Video as Always!!
Thank you for your very kind words.
Forget about other channels reviews, Jeremy See is the best!
I'm using a Cheap Yamaha PSS A90 just for the phrases but the sounds included are useful and better than some 90's secondhand keys & workstations
This review is so so cool im definitely gonna get this keyboard gotta check this to physically ❤🎉
Great Job 👏
I bought the PSR-473 after watching this review!! Keyboard newbie here. Just wanna ask, is there a way to play and keep it on a loop? Is there such a feature?
Thanx for the vid! How does this compare to the A350? Thanx very much!
Great summary review Jeremy, looking forward to more with the 473/425 if you have access to one. This looks like it blows away the new Casiotone CT-S500; especially with the mic with gain/effects feature. Looking forward to when these become available (still not even listed on retailer sites in Canada) - hoping to get the EW425
Jeremy, I keep on watching your videos, especially certain ones like this. I love these Yamahas and the Casios, but if I were to get just one between the PSR-E473 and the CT-S500, I would go with this one. Especially now that it has 64 note polyphony, the pitch bend wheel, microphone and selectable track playing, and voice selection. That is so cool. But since I am blown away with the CT-S1000V, as the vocal synthesizer is like a dream come true for what I want to do, I will get that first, and the PSR-EW425 for church later.
The CT-S1 is still the best $200 keyboard for all the bread and butter basics and compact portability, the advantage Casio has over the Yamahas if you have to lug it around to gigs, church, or wherever.
It's great but new series have the 1/4" audio output jack now. Both companies seems to have been monitoring input and comments, maybe largely from your channel here, maybe even my comment and insights and addressed pretty music everything on our wish lists, and so much more.
For a church keyboard rig of choice, I mentioned before my ultimate gear would be that Roland RD 88 and the Roland V-Combo with the sliders for the organ parts.
But the more affordable rig would be the PSR-EW425 with the microphone, or the CT-S1000V, and on the top tier of the rack, have the Yamaha Reface 37 mini key CP and YC. The CP has all the electric keyboard sounds to have a second keyboard to play another part than the main keys, and the YC has all the famous organ sounds and sliders.
There's so much possibilities and choices. Like you stated, these are exciting times withbso many great, affordable and omproved new keyboard to choose from.
Wow, Jeremy See! Thanks for the tour around this wonderful keyboard. My PSR 373 only has DSP and not DSP2 . (One of these days I will have to read the instructions, and learn what that means.) The only thing that kills me on my unit is the display is like a bright flashlight in my eyes. I wish I could turn it off. On everything from USP's, computers, TV sets. They LOVE to put super bright LED'S that keep you up at night. I don't know why.. I have played guitar for almost 40 years and lost it. My 2 thumbs are ruined from a job that I had to strain them on all day.. So I went to piano, since I was pretty fast on computer keyboards.
I recognize most features really impressive especially act at the same as a sound card, thanks for giving out more insight
played this thing at guitar center and fell in love with
This just won me over, the mic input and recording option is the best yet!
This is a nice thorough demonstration. I've been a fan of Yamaha keyboards for decades, and I've purchased a few cheap ones that had some amazing sounds. Great upload!
Only 1 small miss by Yamaha is the Indication of the Voices & Styles Printed on the Keybord for Quick Live use may be a prob but can be managed by taking a print of it and stuck on the side as many other keyboards do notify and is a breeze using if needed
Wow so many new things . . .very good. . I am a a guitarist who can benefit from keyboards . very useful info . . thanks.
Here in Singapore, the EW425 costs 30% more than the E473. Thus, the deciding factor to choose EW425 over E473 is whether the "YC" Organ sounds in EW425 is worth that price, besides having 76 keys. How many of the 36 organ sounds are "YC"? A video comparing the organ sounds on these 2 keyboards will be much appreciated.
Great video again, Jeremy. It helps me to decide which keyboard I want to get. All of them. 😜
Like I said previously at different times, Yamaha and Casio are constantly improving and hitting it out of the ballpark for the pricepoint and genre of these keyboards, but this new generation of keyboards addresses lots of the things lacking on the previous editions. The pitchbend wheel, and this keyboard along with the 76 key version PSR-EW425 offered previously give that extra octave some players need. And both these Yamaha and the Casio CT-S500 and CT-S1000V already have the pitchbend wheel and the much desired 1/4" main audio outputs, instead of the minijack headphone/audio out jack. This makes it much more simple and convenient for church and gigging musicians to use pro audio sound reinforcement.
Roland has been my favorite brand, but their focus is not arranger keyboards, and the closest is my Go:Keys, when is in a different category by design, and several years ago at the price of this keyboard.
But it works for me, especially with 128 key polyphony.
I opted for the more expensive Go:Keys at the time over the PSR-E373 because of brand preference, availability, and having more funds at that time, and also, the arranger functions not being major consideration. The phrase loop function is potentially more useful to me, but even my Roland has a minijack headphone/audio output. But also has BT connectivity built in.
IMHO, the PSR-E473 edges out the CT-S500, but I have to scrutinize the voice tone comparisons, as both have kicked up audio qualities, but the realism of the acoustic piano on the PSR-E473 is amazing.
Like I said, I am glad I didn't get the PSR-E373, or the CT-S1 later. My Go:Keys is still a great keyboard with lots of great sounds, but for my next keyboard, I probably would get the 76 key PSR-EW425, which I may get later for a less expensive alternative to the Roland RD 88 for church, but the CT-S1000V with the vocal synthesizer capabilities added to the CT-S500 is a game changer for what I want to do, and anyone wanting to include innovative background vocals in live performance or music production, so that will be my next keyboard.
Otherwise, I would highly recommend the PSR-E473 or the PSR-EW425 for those needing the extra playing range over the CT-S500 for most keyboardists, or aspiring ones watching this video, BUT to also check all the videos on the CT-S500 to scrutinize the sounds and features/capabilities to make the decision.
An added note. If you want to sing during your playing performances or nusic production activities without a separate external sound processor and amplification, get these Yamaha keyboards.
The CT-S500/CT-S1000V does not have a microphone input. That latter only has the voice synthesizer feature which uses a smarphone or tablet app to program background vocals played on the keyboard. I wishbot had the microphone but I can live withbthat withbthe awesome capabilities. I will just get a good headphone mic and stompbox processor from Roland or the others available.
Now comes the other important factor. Price/Cost of these keyboards.
I believe you stated that the PSR-E473 has a price of about $380. The 76 key PSR-EW425 seems to be selling for about $490.
So the PSR-E473 seems to be on par with the CT-S500 at about the same price at about $380, but I just saw one listing for $280, and another for $480.
The PSR-EW425 is selling for about $480, and the CT-S1000V at $450, with an original MSRP of $680. The CT-S500/CT-S1000V both come with the $80 BT adapter that is optional on the previous CT-S1/CT-S400.
The choice is yours. Choose your weapon. Have fun, and enjoy 🎶
*FOR THOSE LOOKING TO GET A NEW KEYBOARD*
I see so many comments asking Jeremy which keyboard to get and I repeatedly have to reply tgat he cannot make that decision for you, and makes it clear. If he replies, he will just reiterate what he says in his videos for certain things you may need and want. Everyone is unique, with their individual needs, music knowledge, training, experience, preferences, and such. Watch his videos and pay attention before asking questions of that nature, because the answers are almost always addressed there.
Superb cost analysis buddy! ❤️
@@JeremySee There's so many great keyboards out there, in price ranges and features and formats to fit everyone's needs, except for those that are always going to complain about things costing too much.
Tell me about that after spending $1300 on a 6 note polyphony synth in 1983 with archaic and limited sounds at the rough price of a Roland RD 88 Stage piano today and these keyboard I mentioned from $200 to $500...
I've been watching your videos for like a month ever since I started researching keyboards that start from low to high budget. I am learning a lot, and my standards were getting higher the more I spend time on comparisons. I almost spent my money on the older psr 70 because I thought all keyboards were the same; I realized how it wasn't actually good for songs that need clean tone.
I just ordered one of these. I'm a musician, but not a keyboardist. It should be fun to play with.
What is the best keyboard for middle eastern music, beet and quarter note?
Thanks Jeremy See.I.ordered one yesterday to go along with my Casio CTX-5000 looking foward to the Fedex truck tomorrow...great review.😎
I bought a Korg i3 for my 13 year old son today and then wandered upon this video. It was soooo good, that I ordered this keyboard, also.
Hi Jeremy. Which keyboard with built in speakers has the best, most authentic piano sound? the Korg EX-50L or the Yamaha PSR- 473? thank you for the great posts!
I am always amazed, fanscinated and mesmorised when players like yourself use both hands for playing different instruments on a keyboard. I have enough trouble playing a tune as it is. :)
I've got an old PSS-680 keyboard that I had from new when I was younger but it has mini keys on, rather than full size ones, and even though my fingers are thin, I found myself tapping 2 keys at once, which was really frustrating.
For instant you can use this keyboard for secondary audio player for mp3 or RUclips music.
It has aux in
Hi Jeremy, great video. can the split point be changed on this keyboard? thanks
Yes
I remember I asked about "Track control" on another of your videos about the 373. And this video answers that question. I am shocked that the 373 doesn't have this feature ! It was a basic feature on it's PSS keyboards in the 1990's, and very useful for just riffing guitar leads over drums and bass.
Which is better Yamaha PSR-E473 or Roland ex50 ?
Do you feel an older Yamaha YPG 535 keyboard is a good starter board? I found 1 of these and a broken Korg M-1 and a Peavey KB-60 amp and a stand in a abandoned house trailer. Fixed the Korg for $500. Each works great and being the nut I am, I went out and bought a 2 tier stand and 2 sustain pedals. Now each has its own stand ,cover, pedal. Only thing missing is a skilled operator.
I own a Yamaha Tyros 3, a Ketron SD90, a Roland Jupiter 50 and a Yamaha PSR S970. My Korg PA 900 doesn't count, because I doesn't use it at the moment. I notice, that the older and cheaper Keyboards does an excellent job. When I use the SD90 drums with my Yamaha, I got a wonderful drum sound, that gives the styles more shine.
Hey man. It's good to see you again in action. I was waiting for this review since the product was released. Thank you very much.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Oh, this one looks gorgeous to me. I am about to buy a keyboard piano Yamaha psr-e403 - seems like there is no these sample things like here. Hmmm, I don't know. Well, is that all right? Won't I regret about buying it? Will I be able to make samples on e403?
Love your reviews Jeremy! You have the right combination of talk and demonstration as well! Wonderful!!! Thankyou
Yamaha does a great job 👏 with this keyboard! Feature packed, low price, high quality sounds.
problem in the screen defect ,, preferably the korg ek50 much better
Looking forward to this keyboard.. I believe it will land here in the Philippines next month. Sold my Arturia KeyLab 61 for this. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review! I'm considering getting one. Wondering if it has a Mellotron voice or can it be made to have one?
me too i bought this YAMAHA PSR-E473,yesterday..!it's fanstastic
Wonderful! This keyboard seems so expressive and sounds beautiful. That is really good cost performance!
I picked one up today. Will be on it tomorrow.
Hi Jeremy. I want to buy this keyboard but I want to be sure I can hook it up to external speakers or my Fender amplifier ? Please let me know soon.
Nice VDO.
Can I listen harmonium, banjo and fluet voice from this keyboard.
Curious what you think. How does this one compare to the PSR-S970?
They both sound amazing.
Between this keyboard an the EW410 which one is better? :(
That’s a steal for the price!! I might have to buy this ASAP. I miss playing the piano as a hobby seems like the perfect keyboard to get back into it.
If you used to play a piano, even as a hobby, you really should buy a digital piano with fully-weighted keys, otherwise, a keyboard would feel strange and your playing would be affected.
I like the way how u review.... all keyboards.... sir♥️... lots of love... from Goa...🌴
Hi Jeremy,
Which one do you think is better? .. KORG EK-50(EK-50L)OR YAMAHA PSR 473.. in terms of sound quality , user friendliness, built quality and versatility?
Im planning to buy a beginner keyboard.
Thanks!
How is the piano tone in this keyboard , it's good or it's like beginner piano tone ?
Hi, so can I record a lead vocal on one of the 6 tracks? Can you record a lead vocal long enough to one of the 4 sample buttons? If so, how would I trigger it in time for my song? Thank You for the great video! Is it me or does this piano sound better than the Casio CT-S500? Also on the CT-S500 I know you can save a sample then play it across the keyboard, and save it, but can I save more than one' of them. If yes, I'm pretty sure the CT can only do one sample across 61 keys at a time, but if I could save a few of those that would work for me. I hate the cheap dot graphics on the Yamaha. I thought I might get the Casio, but when you played the piano on the Yamaha I thought I should take another look at the Yamaha. Please let me know when you have time.Thank you so much.
❤ Jeremy, if I have play alone tracks how can I play those on the keyboard and play the melody over it?
Please can we trigger the super articulation using the sustain pedal please 🙂🙂!!?
Thanks for the vid
Haven't spent some time deliberating I think this is gonna be the one for me.
Would have been good to see a quick demo for the recording mode feature.
Just got this e473 5 days ago. Im very pleased with it
Which is better YAMAHA PSR-E473 or PSR-E383? I want to achieve the sound of other instruments such as drums, strings, bass.
Could you advise me about some keyboards which allows to turn on/off the tracks, even having good sounds?
so glad i saw your channel and because of this, i bought my own psr-e473
Sir will u plzz do a comparison between Yamaha psr e473 and casio ctx 5000...?
Speaking of the current market, looking forward to your take on the new Casiotone CT-S500. Just ordered one. Two years ago when looking for my son's first keyboard, we ended up with the Casio CT-X800. It just sounds much better than the Yamaha to us. And now he just upgraded to an Alesis Recital Grand. I have owned higher end Roland, Yamaha, and Kurzweil in the past, and the Casiotone CT-S500 highly interests me in this big sea of keyboards on the modern scene. We have to rely on watching videos and reading reviews as we live way up North in the Yukon, Canada. We watch many of your videos, and really enjoy them.
Yeah...I was surprised at how good some of the Casio sounds are...quite good!
Great choice as an alternative to this PSR-E473. I love both, but will opt for the more expensive CT-S1000V for the vocal synthesizer capabilities, but still want the Yamaha, and plan to get the 76 note PSR-EW425 later, as a more affordable alternative to a Roland RD 88 Stage Piano, which I still may get later.
Nice video, can you do a review of the casio px 780?
Hi Jeremy, I just started learning piano and considering buying one soon. I am choosing between Casio CTX-3000 and Yamaha PSR E373. which do you think will serve me better as a beginner.
Thank you in advance
If anyone has direct experience with this and its predecessor, the 373, my question is about the touch responsiveness. I find that the 373, even with touch response set to hard, is apt to play certain keys extremely loud unless I am very (ridiculously) careful about hitting them softly. Is the 473 an improvement in this regard? If it weren't for this one problem, I would be satisfied with the 373. The additional features of the 473 are great, but not worth the price. If I had them, as well as a more consistently responsive keybed, I'd buy.
So I bought the 473 anyway. The keybed responsiveness is still problematic in my opinion, but wow you can have a lot of fun with this thing. The live control knobs are fantastic; some of the sounds have been improved. Plus a full 6-track recorder. You just have to be very mindful always to play with a light touch.
@@dannuttle9005 - you made the right choice. The 373 with it's crappy 2 1/2W speakers is terrible.
@@dannuttle9005 - you can't edit the perimeters to soften the touch (like you can with Casio's)?
@@dannuttle9005 I don't experience any problem with E373 in terms of touch sensitivity. You can try different finger on the same key to see if they generate the same loudness. If not, it simply means your different finger gives different strength. BTW, the 2.5W each speaker system of 373 is not bad. This model is for home but not for stage. Let alone, you can hook it up with external speak system if you need it. @RedEyeC.
2:24 what is this song?
Great video with good details. I wonder how this compares to the Korg i3? It looks like it would be hard to see the buttons at night in a dark club environment.
1:22, F***, that's awesome! What a piano sound! 😲
thank you sir.. getting mine today.
can you send me link to those headphones your using? please
It is a Good keyboard?
Casio PX 560 m vs this stellar Yamaha? Which is the winner please?
Is it suitable for 5 year old, i am planning to buy for my daughter, and use it for me as well
Please can you do this exact Same review for the PSR SX600, PSR SX700, and PSR SX900
Hey Jeremy I love you videos. Which is a better option Yamaha psr e473 or Casio ctx9000??
What cheaper keyboard would you say has the best string sounds? Looking for authentic sounding violin and cello so on so forth. Under $200 would be awesome..
How good is the piano voice, how would it compare to a Yamaha NP12 for example?
Can we connect a condenser microphone and use the built-in audio interface for that ?
Hi Jeremy... I love the sounds on this keyboard, but I need keys with good organ sounds and the ability to control the rotary speaker. I don't see this in any of the demos of this keyboard... all reviews seem to skip over the organ. Are the organ sound any good on this?
I prefer casio ct-x 3000 same price...I was wrong about the casio ct-x 3000...I think the ct-x 700 casiio that is compliments it in a better way for me...I have barely touched by my new Yamaha PSR E-473 looks impressive and infinite in artistic expression...Thanks Jeremy See...🙃😀
Can you teach more on how to use the dsp effects
Felipe from Costa Rica: Is it ñossible to improve the visibility of what appears on the screen? I sugget like very dark black lettering specially for smaller messages like ""mic", "measure", "touch", etc.
