I bought my PSR-E373 based on your recommendation! & It made my beginner experience the best I could ask for! & Was frankly thinking of an upgrade to a larger keyboard! When u just uploaded this video! I have to say your reviews are thorough and informative and to the point! & I believe you have just helped me make my next piano purchase! From the bottom of my heart thank you!🙏
I have PSR-EW310, lot's of fun experimenting with different sounds. It is also one heck of a terrific value. Though the PSR-E425 offers some really nice compelling features, the price IMHO, puts it in another category of keyboards with other options. However if it fits your needs, it is no question a great keyboard. Love the Mic input feature. Always good to get Jeremy's honest advice and review.😀
I recently bought a Alesis recital pro 88 keys . And let me tell you , I wish I had discovered this instead of wasting that money. I’ll be returning it and buying this one.
I just bought my new PSR EW425 from our Yamaha outlet here in Suva, Fiji. The sounds are easy listening to and very professional in many ways. It's easy to handle and play your favorite tunes. Overall is the 76 key it has. I also have Tyros 2, Casio WK 7600 & Kurzweil KP200..
After 20 years of not playing the keyboard/Organ I think I have found what I'm looking for to get back into it again. Just checked with my local music store and they have stocks of the PSR-EW425 on the way. I may even do one of your course packs as a refresher.
Yamaha EW 425 - best. I don't speak English, please translate following. У меня была и есть Yamaha PSR 550, и да ей 21 год, и она до сих пор работает, и захотелось обновления. Считаю что у этой клавиатуры нет конкуренции ! Надеюсь что нам завезут в страну их и что мне ее довезут без царапин). Спасибо вам Джереми Сии, за обзоры и демонстрацию товара.
For me, the best feature of this keyboard (besides the 76 keys and good quality sounds) is the ability to turn on/off various parts of the accompaniment STYLE. Until recently it was an all-or-nothing and many times you don't actually need the entire accompaniment. Korg recently brought this feature to their midrange arrangers (with the EK-50) and I'm glad that Yamaha is catching up with them.
You are wrong that "until recently it was an all-or-nothing" regarding the ability to turn on/off various parts of the accompaniment style. In fact, this feature has been present in the PSR-E463, PSR-E453, PSR-E443, and PSR-E433. The PSR-E433 was released in July 2012. So, this feature has been present in the PSR-E400 series for at least 10 years.
come on.Yamaha has this feature from old days.i use PSR 600,and i can mute or turn off some part of accompaniment..just dont ask me how old that PSR600.🤣
Hello Jeremy , its a great pleasure to follow your program , i follow all your pages and the yamaha psr ew 425 has my highest attention to buy in the nearest future .I hope he has also a learning app on the 76 keys , to quickly learn to play romantic piano modern songs . Keep goiing on , you're te best ! greetings erik from Belgium 👍
I've been looking your reviews videos for more than 8 months, i didn't have enought money to buy myself a piano, but now i have one that's going to arrive soon, thank you for your content you really helped me to choose
Finally, a Yamaha PSR-EW425 review, thanks Jeremy See, now I know that am sure of what to chose between the Yamaha keyboard Yamaha PSR-E473 & PSR-EW425, and the answer is Yamaha PSR-EW425
I own Yamaha DGX305, predecessor of this model edited 15years ago, and also agree that it offers a lot even if you are the professional. Although I have several other keyboards, I use it very often for both recording and live gigs because of nice sounding tones that are still rich and persuasive, when used cleverly, of course. That instrument is made to meet huge amount of demands for different artistic expectations. Some sounds are nice prepared for sophisticated performance using advantage of well balanced dynamic keybed. This model you analyse today is advanced in arrangements and abilities of sound control, but usage pattern is still approximately the same.
Great video Jeremy (as always!) Would love to see a comparison of the E473/EW425 vs. the SX600 - is the SX600 worth THREE TIMES the price of the PSR-E473? Or more than twice the price of the EW425 (which has more keys). I have an EW425 and absolutely love it!
@@Zaudi_Jonas UExcept for the 76-keys and being the (AFAIK) most powerful speakers on a keyboard / piano that can be battery powered, the SX600 specwise is much stronger than the EW425, includng the speakers (now 30W instead of 24W). The EW425's 820 voices are over half XGlite, while the SX600 has 850 voices + 480 XGlite, plus the panel voices are often of higher grades (Live! Cool! Sweet! Super Articulation) and based on the PSR-E373 I have, the difference between a ! voice and Regular counterpart is audible even to a noob (me). It has more DSPs (DSP1 on EW425 only powers the Main Voice, and the DSP2 only has about 10 effects). You even get more scales, the pitch wheel can be set to affect some layers and not the others .. etc. The only thing is how much an actual user will miss those missing features.
I'm kind of torn. Currently, I have an aging Korg PA800, and the PSR-EW-425 will never be a replacement for that keyboard. But, I am looking for something a little more portable that I can take to our fellowships and play there. For a price difference of about $200USD, I'm contemplating the EW-425 or the Medeli AKX-10. One of the things I really want to be able to do is use Band In A Box to be able to send MIDI backing tracks to either keyboard, but I also would want an option of sending the audio data from BIAB to the speaker setup, and the EW-425, with the Aux input, offers that, but the Medeli also offers audio input, in fact, two 1/4" mono inputs, which means I'll need to get a special cable to go from 1/8" stereo to two 1/4" mono, but not a real issue. I like the 76 keys of the EW-425, but I never learned to read bass clef or play left-handed, only chords. Either device will suffice for that, but if I were looking for something inexpensive to start learning to fully play piano, reading and playing both clefs, the EW-425 would be my current choice. Now all I want to know is when is Korg going to release the PA5X-76? :)
Hi, I am looking for a digital piano for my kids. What i prefer is something that have really good sound and can mimic real close to a real piano. Such as what you describe the harder to press the louder it is. Love that this has the grand piano thing and i love the sound of it. I see this ew425 has so many bells and whistle which probably i won't even know what to do with it. It looks nice and fancy. I really fine with $400 but just wondering if there are simpler options with really good sound as this and with pedal. (i am not a pianist)
Dear Jeremy - I must thank you for alerting us to this keyboard. I do not have the room for 88 keys - and several people informed me 61-key versions are too limited - so I bought this very keyboard upon your review! Today I created my first original track after several weeks of just doing covers - so I dedicate this to you - ruclips.net/video/CPWf8f26mJw/видео.html - thanks so much! Sateesh (London, England)
I always enjoy your videos, See! You are very professional at these reviews and you make them really informative. Also, nice Roland shirt. Where did you get it? 🤔
Hello my friend Jeremy, what can you advice me to buy ? the new yamaha psr-ew425 or the Roland G800 ? I like the last one also ,is it a good as the yamaha 425 ? Thank you for your fast reply , as i can buy this Roland vintage keyboard for a cheap price of 240 dollar . Thanks & keep doiing great , i love what you do , greetings erik from Belgium , your far friend and follower all times.
Hi Jerryme I have recently ordered the Yamaha PSR EW425 in India and I got it directly from the Yamaha company online store @ 27000 INR (341 USD APPROX) this is my first keyboard and before this I have never learnt to play systematically however I can play tunes that I hear. Was this a good buying decision and is there any help that I can get from you for learning piano through this keyboard
I like your videos. You made me buy the Casio CT-X 5000. This was a good idea. Please tell me, what song you play first in this video (that classical piano sound)! It's great!
Heyy! I've been watching your videos for a long time now and they are very helpful 😄 Ive been thinking of buying a digital piano and stuck between the yamaha p45 and the casio cdps 100/150. So can you suggest me which one to buy? 😁
I have been a long time fan of Jeremy's. Following this review, I decided to go with the EW425 as a replacement keyboard/synth. Since owning it, I have been sorely disappointed in the build quality. I admit the sounds are great, but in comparing it to the much cheaper and older Yamaha YPG-235 which I own, I did not find any noticeable difference in the amplifier/speakers. Also the key's on the EW425 are extremely light and cheap, much more so than on the YPG-235. I also found the on/off button to be very cheap and someone unreliable. It would not have cost an extra $.25 US to have used a better volume knob preferably with a rubberized coating. There are a huge number of high quality presets and combos. Unfortunately the interface is not as intuitive as some other keyboards. I believe the guts are a good foundation and with a little extra effort and for about an additional $15 in manufacturing cost, this could be a killer option.
Hi Jeremy I love all your videos. May I ask are you using a sustain petal with this keyboard?? I just received mine thinking there was a sustain button option, but the only way I know how to make it sustain is going to function M Release and raising numbers…. But then sound vibrates… With that being said, I have to return it , two shipping companies were very ruff, box damaged twice & now keys dont sound right. All the piano sounds are very tingy ( like its always on bright piano setting)…. and lower keys distort … (Didn’t lower octave) Not rich sounding at all. Gave me headache lol. I’ve tried control knobs, every button/setting to change the sound to make any piano options sound good but something is off… But before I decide to have them send me another one I wanted to know about the sustain option if there is one without buying a pedal… Im not a beginner, but the price was right.. Sound wrong…😂
This was really the best review of this keyboard available on RUclips! Although, I wanted to ask whether the onboard speakers work as monitors when the keyboard is connected to external speakers via a line-out port, or do they shut off?
Please answer 2 questions. 1. Can individual style components be amended to sound differently. 2. Can new styles be created or downloaded into this keyboard. Thanks.
Great channel ....bought a PSR e373 today....got a great price from musician’s friend.....play guitar but total beginner with keys....your videos are priceless....much appreciated
Thanks for the review, Jeremy. Can you please advise if the 425 has the ability to be attached to a Liquid Stands with safety straps? I can't find anything in the user guide about it. Thanks in advance.
Hello Sir, I am planning to buy PSR EW425 in jan, will that be a good option or should i wait this year for any other latest PSR model in that range and budget. Eagerly waiting for your reply
Very good piano sound and heck Tyros3 The Yamaha PSR900/9000 pro is the start of Tyros synthesizer so sure not bad Yama PSR pro has no speakers. The Yamaha Genos is still 16bit 44,1 kHz so there is not much changed between synthesisers .
You get a lot for the money and the only downside to this model is not enough polyphony. I wish that the dgx-670 had a 61 or 73 key version. I ended up purchasing the P-121 portable digital piano, but even though I do like it, I wish that there were more than 10 tones etc.
Just bought this at Bentley PJ Malaysia... It's much cheaper in Singapore despite the currency conversion.. RM 1700+ in Singapore vs RM2800 in Malaysia... Tax too high in Msia!
Hello Jeremy, and thank you for the video. I'm looking for a keyboard that can be also be used as a midi controller in my DAW. Can the EW425 send midi signal and mute its own sounds? Thank you so much. Greetings.
Hi Jeremy. Could you please tell me if this keyboard has quarter tone scale (for Arabic music) as well as recording track to make your own style and rhythm. Thank you so much in advance.
Awesome video, Jeremy! Doing a demo of the Yamaha PSR-EW425 while wearing a Roland T Shirt. 😀 I find that hilarious, but Roland, Yamaha & Casio are all great right now. I wholeheartedly agree, this is the absolute best digital piano/keyboard for the price, or even much more expensive alternative to a full 88 note digital piano if you don't need or prefer full weighted keys. The only 76 note keyboard with better action is the Roland Fantom-07 workstation keyboard, but it is about 4 times the price. And it's worth it, but we are talking about $500 and under. Like I mentioned previously the 61 note PSR-E473 edges out the Casio CT-S500 in sound, and some features, like being able to turn separate rhythm track parts off/onn. But now that it has the pitch bend wheel, and both Yamaha and Casio in their latest keyboards have the upgrade to ¼" stereo audio output jacks. A very welcome addition for gigging/church musicians and music composers and creators. The CT-S500 is more compact for portability on the go, but if you are going to get just one keyboard, I recommend the PSR-E473 instead, if you don't need the more compact format, unless you want the voice synthesizer functions of the CT-S1000V. I plan on getting the latter next for that reason, and get the new Apple iPad Air with the M1 chip and 256G storage for the keyboard music functions and other uses. Getting the Boss Micro BR BR80 portable multitrack digital audio recorder can suit my purposes for DAW and backing track creation until I can get an Apple MacBook Air 512G. Those are a lot less expensive than for the same performance for what I need. I will probably also get a Zoom H4n Pro and a versatile all purpose recorder. Either can plug in to the audio input jack on all of these keyboards. But the PSR-EW425 is too good not to get for my personal church keyboard to complement our Casio CDP-S350. I can leave it there as my place does not have much space. And I don't have to transport it every Sunday. Down the road, I can finally get the Fantom-06 instead for home, that would be the perfect compliment for my PSS-A50, JD-XI Go:Keys and other gear. And I can akways bring the CT-S1000V or Fantom-06 to church when I want. My Go:Keys is ideal for on the go playing if I don't need the fast octave and voice changes, but just playing or remote music creation with the Micro BR recorder. All the available gear at affordable prices gives uscall so many choices and options to suit our needs and wants. Each keyboard and other gear have their unique features and purposes. I couldn't be happier, unless and until things I perceive to get better after dealingvwithbthe current problems can provide the access and ability for more resources to get more equipment fir us all to enjoy music, which in one of the best universal forms of therapy for ourselves and others.
Hi Jeremy. 1) Has the LED on your PSR - EW425 malfunctioned yet like the E373 defect? 2) What might be the Korg equivalence of this keyboard? 3) Why did they not use OLED instead of LED? Cost or for another reason?
What's the song memory or bank memory on this keyboard? I currently have a YPG-235 that has 5 user tracks where you can record up to five instruments on. I'm looking for a keyboard with more than 5. Maybe upwards of 8-10 user tracks and up to 6-7 sounds on each song. I don't know if Yamaha anything like it on the market currently.
Looking for something portable for use when busking that can run on batteries, and when I don’t want to lug my Kaiwai 11MPse + MainStage. Using for folk and pop mostly. Any thoughts PSR-EW425 vs Korg EK50L … 76 keys is nice to have but main thing interested in is sound quality through the built in speakers. Esp piano sound. Any thoughts ?
Hi! Congratulate, great and very useful video! ;) To this instrument it is possible to upload more styles (rithms) to his built in memory (via USB stick)? I plan to buy a good instrument for my church, but I want an instrument which is capable to extend the built in styles with specific hungarian and worship-style rithms. I found two type of keyboards, which are not expensive: Roland BK 3 Arranger B and Yamaha PSR-EW425 . Which is better? At home I have two Yamaha keyboards (an old PSR 195 and a DGX 640 digital piano). I'm very satisfied with both! Thanks your help! Laci
yep seems like they were available after the release and now they are gone. can’t find anywhere, looking for alternatives in the meantime though keep coming back to this keyboard.
@@JeremySee how can I buy this in India. I checked on yamha music store but COD payment wasn't available ☹️☹️. I'm opting for this keyboard over Yamaha P45B.
What do you think of this keyboard vw the features of the korg xe20? I know korg has weighted keys, but what which one would you prefer if you were to get a keyboard in This price range. Thanks!
Hey! I am not sure if you can help me, but I trying. My Keyboard is a Yamaha PSR- EW310. I am wondering if the EW425 has the Strings tones which is the voice number 77 on the EW310? I could not detect it, but maybe you can, and tell me it has it? Thanks for helping me out!
Hey @JeremySee I'm gonna Buy A Keyboard Soon Shoudl i wait for Next year 2024 To get Other keyboard of yamha in psr or e series or should i go for this ew425 and does it have Feature to upload expansion pack of tones ?
Hi Jeremy, can i seek your assitance to recommend a 76 key keyboard for beginner. I have watched many of your video's and considering PSR-EW310 vs PSR EW425. I am a 42 yr old adult wt zero music experience. I would like to learn to play pop keyboard & 2-3 years time learn to play piano. I am searching for a mid level keyboard to begin with so i can use the same keyboard later to learn to play piano in 2-3 years time. Can you pls advise which keyboard I should consider. Thank you
Thanks Jeremy you are tireless and so usefull. Thanks to your detailed videos I bought a DGX 670 after lots of hesitation with the EW 425. I didnt want 88 keys, and a long bulky box, prefered 76, which is more than enough to my views, but the DGX arrangements are more alive and the style and sound editing is way richer. I wish I could have ordered from your links but in Canada, it meant going to Amazon and I preferred benefiting a local shop. But you deserve credits and I ll try order some stuff from your other links. I have Korg PA300 which is great if very tricky to fine tune, but quite astounding in its detailed editing, its really more complete as an arranger than Yamaha, so for some sounds, Korg is better, while for others, Yamaha is better, I do find sometimes Yamaha sounds a bit too.... perfect... almost cold, perhaps studio like is the word. Its a matter of taste. There is room for both Korg and Yamaha, and I hope that Casio is going to raise the bar sometime with the successor to the PX 560

Hi Jerryme I have recently ordered the Yamaha PSR EW425 in India and I got it directly from the Yamaha company online store @ 27000 INR (341 USD APPROX) this is my first keyboard and before this I have never learnt to play systematically however I can play tunes that I hear.
Was this a good buying decision and is there any help that I can get from you for learning piano through this keyboard
I like your videos. You made me buy the Casio CT-X 5000. This was a good idea. Please tell me, what song you play first in this video (that classical piano sound)! It's great!
gymnopedie no. 1
Thank you very much!
The PSR-EW425 has 76 keys. It really gets my vote.
Tone registration memory button need to upgrade 8 button in this 76 keys keyboard.
Excellent tutorial. Aloha from Hawaii.
Heyy! I've been watching your videos for a long time now and they are very helpful 😄 Ive been thinking of buying a digital piano and stuck between the yamaha p45 and the casio cdps 100/150. So can you suggest me which one to buy? 😁
I have been a long time fan of Jeremy's. Following this review, I decided to go with the EW425 as a replacement keyboard/synth. Since owning it, I have been sorely disappointed in the build quality. I admit the sounds are great, but in comparing it to the much cheaper and older Yamaha YPG-235 which I own, I did not find any noticeable difference in the amplifier/speakers. Also the key's on the EW425 are extremely light and cheap, much more so than on the YPG-235.
I also found the on/off button to be very cheap and someone unreliable. It would not have cost an extra $.25 US to have used a better volume knob preferably with a rubberized coating.
There are a huge number of high quality presets and combos. Unfortunately the interface is not as intuitive as some other keyboards. I believe the guts are a good foundation and with a little extra effort and for about an additional $15 in manufacturing cost, this could be a killer option.
Very important user review. Thanks
Hi @JeremySee, when you used WOODWIND, what style did you choose please?
The only thing I wish Yamaha could catch up in this PSR e and ew series is Bluetooth connectivity 😢😢
Hi Jeremy!! For playing classical music, Do you fell the need for a keyboard with hammer action for better playing experience??
Hi Jeremy I love all your videos. May I ask are you using a sustain petal with this keyboard??
I just received mine thinking there was a sustain button option, but the only way I know how to make it sustain is going to function M Release and raising numbers…. But then sound vibrates…
With that being said, I have to return it , two shipping companies were very ruff, box damaged twice & now keys dont sound right. All the piano sounds are very tingy ( like its always on bright piano setting)…. and lower keys distort … (Didn’t lower octave) Not rich sounding at all. Gave me headache lol. I’ve tried control knobs, every button/setting to change the sound to make any piano options sound good but something is off…
But before I decide to have them send me another one I wanted to know about the sustain option if there is one without buying a pedal…
Im not a beginner, but the price was right.. Sound wrong…😂
This was really the best review of this keyboard available on RUclips!
Although, I wanted to ask whether the onboard speakers work as monitors when the keyboard is connected to external speakers via a line-out port, or do they shut off?
you conviced me with the piano effects part lmao
Please answer 2 questions.
1. Can individual style components be amended to sound differently.
2. Can new styles be created or downloaded into this keyboard.
Thanks.
Great channel ....bought a PSR e373 today....got a great price from musician’s friend.....play guitar but total beginner with keys....your videos are priceless....much appreciated
Good advice, great video!
Does it support play-along with simultaneous multi-track MIDI playback?
I bought the e373. It was so great I bot a ew310!
Thanks for the review, Jeremy. Can you please advise if the 425 has the ability to be attached to a Liquid Stands with safety straps? I can't find anything in the user guide about it. Thanks in advance.
Wow a new yamaha model
Hello Sir, I am planning to buy PSR EW425 in jan, will that be a good option or should i wait this year for any other latest PSR model in that range and budget.
Eagerly waiting for your reply
I have one of these and love it. Do you know if a 32 note pedal board can be used with one? I would like to transfer onto organ eventually.
I have a PSR9000 with Yamaha Tyros 3 sounds , 8GB CF card , 64MB ram.
Very good piano sound and heck Tyros3 The Yamaha PSR900/9000 pro is the start of Tyros synthesizer so sure not bad Yama PSR pro has no speakers. The Yamaha Genos is still 16bit 44,1 kHz so there is not much changed between synthesisers .
You get a lot for the money and the only downside to this model is not enough polyphony. I wish that the dgx-670 had a 61 or 73 key version. I ended up purchasing the P-121 portable digital piano, but even though I do like it, I wish that there were more than 10 tones etc.
You can always add tones by plugging your P121 into a computer and using MIDI virtual instruments.
Just bought this at Bentley PJ Malaysia... It's much cheaper in Singapore despite the currency conversion.. RM 1700+ in Singapore vs RM2800 in Malaysia... Tax too high in Msia!
Hello Jeremy, and thank you for the video. I'm looking for a keyboard that can be also be used as a midi controller in my DAW. Can the EW425 send midi signal and mute its own sounds? Thank you so much. Greetings.
Love you blogs my friend.
6:15 wow even Indonesian anthem included🤩
That Roland tshirt is nice
Hey Jeremy, could u please review Roland Ex 50 and compare with Korg EK50 and Yamaha PSR E473…
Hi Jeremy. Could you please tell me if this keyboard has quarter tone scale (for Arabic music) as well as recording track to make your own style and rhythm. Thank you so much in advance.
is it also CFX sound? I do find it warm and rich... so I think it is... as opposed to EZ-300, I think that one is not
Does this keyboard have the famous Robbie Buchanan EP bell sound that’s heard in a lot of songs …? Please advise
Awesome video, Jeremy! Doing a demo of the Yamaha PSR-EW425 while wearing a Roland T Shirt. 😀 I find that hilarious, but Roland, Yamaha & Casio are all great right now.
I wholeheartedly agree, this is the absolute best digital piano/keyboard for the price, or even much more expensive alternative to a full 88 note digital piano if you don't need or prefer full weighted keys.
The only 76 note keyboard with better action is the Roland Fantom-07 workstation keyboard, but it is about 4 times the price. And it's worth it, but we are talking about $500 and under.
Like I mentioned previously the 61 note PSR-E473 edges out the Casio CT-S500 in sound, and some features, like being able to turn separate rhythm track parts off/onn. But now that it has the pitch bend wheel, and both Yamaha and Casio in their latest keyboards have the upgrade to ¼" stereo audio output jacks. A very welcome addition for gigging/church musicians and music composers and creators.
The CT-S500 is more compact for portability on the go, but if you are going to get just one keyboard, I recommend the PSR-E473 instead, if you don't need the more compact format, unless you want the voice synthesizer functions of the CT-S1000V. I plan on getting the latter next for that reason, and get the new Apple iPad Air with the M1 chip and 256G storage for the keyboard music functions and other uses.
Getting the Boss Micro BR BR80 portable multitrack digital audio recorder can suit my purposes for DAW and backing track creation until I can get an Apple MacBook Air 512G. Those are a lot less expensive than for the same performance for what I need. I will probably also get a Zoom H4n Pro and a versatile all purpose recorder. Either can plug in to the audio input jack on all of these keyboards.
But the PSR-EW425 is too good not to get for my personal church keyboard to complement our Casio CDP-S350. I can leave it there as my place does not have much space. And I don't have to transport it every Sunday.
Down the road, I can finally get the Fantom-06 instead for home, that would be the perfect compliment for my PSS-A50, JD-XI Go:Keys and other gear. And I can akways bring the CT-S1000V or Fantom-06 to church when I want. My Go:Keys is ideal for on the go playing if I don't need the fast octave and voice changes, but just playing or remote music creation with the Micro BR recorder.
All the available gear at affordable prices gives uscall so many choices and options to suit our needs and wants.
Each keyboard and other gear have their unique features and purposes. I couldn't be happier, unless and until things I perceive to get better after dealingvwithbthe current problems can provide the access and ability for more resources to get more equipment fir us all to enjoy music, which in one of the best universal forms of therapy for ourselves and others.
You noticed the shirt. 😉 Can't wait for you to get your Fantom 06!
@@JeremySee That will be way far off. The CT-S1000V and PSR-EW425 are great at is. The Fantom-06 is just a whole new level of sound and capability.
Hi Jeremy.
1) Has the LED on your PSR - EW425 malfunctioned yet like the E373 defect?
2) What might be the Korg equivalence of this keyboard?
3) Why did they not use OLED instead of LED? Cost or for another reason?
any LED will become defect after some years...except the older ones probably...today obsolescence is everywhere...
how do I use the harmony function on the PSR EW425? I want harmony notes in my right hand. Thanks
Hi , does it have the function to quantize notes on the sequencer?
What's the song memory or bank memory on this keyboard? I currently have a YPG-235 that has 5 user tracks where you can record up to five instruments on. I'm looking for a keyboard with more than 5. Maybe upwards of 8-10 user tracks and up to 6-7 sounds on each song. I don't know if Yamaha anything like it on the market currently.
In Guitar the slides aren't there in this board sir?
What if I want a keyboard that just sounds like an acustic piano?
Great video Man. 👏👏👏. I’m about to purchase my son the Casio tone 300, this really helps.
Looking for something portable for use when busking that can run on batteries, and when I don’t want to lug my Kaiwai 11MPse + MainStage. Using for folk and pop mostly. Any thoughts PSR-EW425 vs Korg EK50L … 76 keys is nice to have but main thing interested in is sound quality through the built in speakers. Esp piano sound. Any thoughts ?
Unfortunately, this keyboard is difficult to come by. And in my country, it sells for twice what you quoted.
Hi! Congratulate, great and very useful video! ;)
To this instrument it is possible to upload more styles (rithms) to his built in memory (via USB stick)? I plan to buy a good instrument for my church, but I want an instrument which is capable to extend the built in styles with specific hungarian and worship-style rithms. I found two type of keyboards, which are not expensive: Roland BK 3 Arranger B and Yamaha PSR-EW425 . Which is better? At home I have two Yamaha keyboards (an old PSR 195 and a DGX 640 digital piano). I'm very satisfied with both! Thanks your help! Laci
Which one is better yamaha psr ew-425 or roland e-x50 , I am not sure which one I should buy because I want to use it as a midi keyboard as well
It has Indian sounds or not like harmonium, santoor,pluck,dulcimer etc.
I ordered the EW425 last month but until now it’s still in backorder ☹️
yep seems like they were available after the release and now they are gone. can’t find anywhere, looking for alternatives in the meantime though keep coming back to this keyboard.
Still loving my Korg Kronos :)
We all wish a new Kronos is under $490 like this is. 🤭
@@JeremySee Yeah i know its no comparison :)
@@JeremySee how can I buy this in India. I checked on yamha music store but COD payment wasn't available ☹️☹️. I'm opting for this keyboard over Yamaha P45B.
All while wearing a Roland shirt. Mixed message, Jeremy? 😉 🤣
Where can I order this?
What do you think of this keyboard vw the features of the korg xe20? I know korg has weighted keys, but what which one would you prefer if you were to get a keyboard in This price range. Thanks!
Hey! I am not sure if you can help me, but I trying. My Keyboard is a Yamaha PSR- EW310. I am wondering if the EW425 has the Strings tones which is the voice number 77 on the EW310? I could not detect it, but maybe you can, and tell me it has it? Thanks for helping me out!
Hey @JeremySee I'm gonna Buy A Keyboard Soon Shoudl i wait for Next year 2024 To get Other keyboard of yamha in psr or e series or should i go for this ew425 and does it have Feature to upload expansion pack of tones ?
I just bought it only because of your video :)
Hope you enjoy it!
@@JeremySee It will arrive today. Thanks I will :)
Hey,how's your experience with the keyboard so far? I plan on getting one but I'm not sure
just need to find one!!!
Great keyboard!!!!
I like this but want semi weighted keys so what's my options?
Jeremy how does this compare to the Casio Wk 7600?
Can you do a review for Artesia Performer keyboard
Anyone knows of a 76-key gig bag that is large enough to fit the PSR-EW425?
Which psr keyboard has the best grand piano portable w speakers? Thank you
Hi Jeremy, can i seek your assitance to recommend a 76 key keyboard for beginner. I have watched many of your video's and considering PSR-EW310 vs PSR EW425. I am a 42 yr old adult wt zero music experience. I would like to learn to play pop keyboard & 2-3 years time learn to play piano. I am searching for a mid level keyboard to begin with so i can use the same keyboard later to learn to play piano in 2-3 years time. Can you pls advise which keyboard I should consider. Thank you
Thanks Jeremy you are tireless and so usefull. Thanks to your detailed videos I bought a DGX 670 after lots of hesitation with the EW 425. I didnt want 88 keys, and a long bulky box, prefered 76, which is more than enough to my views, but the DGX arrangements are more alive and the style and sound editing is way richer. I wish I could have ordered from your links but in Canada, it meant going to Amazon and I preferred benefiting a local shop. But you deserve credits and I ll try order some stuff from your other links. I have Korg PA300 which is great if very tricky to fine tune, but quite astounding in its detailed editing, its really more complete as an arranger than Yamaha, so for some sounds, Korg is better, while for others, Yamaha is better, I do find sometimes Yamaha sounds a bit too.... perfect... almost cold, perhaps studio like is the word. Its a matter of taste. There is room for both Korg and Yamaha, and I hope that Casio is going to raise the bar sometime with the successor to the PX 560
