Yamaha PSR E383 Portable Keyboard, Black - Secondhand

Full Description

Explore 650 different instrument sounds

With 650 instrument voices built in, the PSR E383 gives you plenty of room to find the sounds that suit what you want to play. The selection covers pianos, guitars, basses, drums, and many other instruments, so you can try different arrangements without needing extra sound sources. There are also 12 Super Articulation Lite voices, plus 41 DSP effects, reverb, chorus, 26 harmony types, and 152 arpeggio types. This broad sound set makes the keyboard useful as your musical interests develop, whether you're working through lessons, experimenting with arrangements, or simply finding new sounds to play.

Play along with 260 accompaniment styles

The 260 built-in styles give you rhythm, bass, and chordal accompaniment to play alongside — a useful way to make solo practice feel more complete. You can trigger backing by playing a chord or its root note, helping you explore different musical styles while developing your timing. Auto Chord Play makes things even more accessible by providing musically suitable chord progressions automatically. This means you can concentrate on your melody and rhythm while the keyboard handles the accompanying chords. With such a wide selection of styles available, there’s plenty to explore as your playing and confidence grow.

Build your skills step by step

If you're starting out, the PSR E383 includes several tools designed to make practice easier to manage. Its three-step lesson system lets you work on the right hand, left hand, or both hands together using the 125 onboard Songs. You can repeat individual phrases when they need more attention, while practice evaluation provides feedback on your sessions. Keys to Success adds further structured learning options, giving you a clear way to work through new material. Duo mode can also divide the keyboard into two matching playing areas, making it useful when practising alongside a teacher or another player.

Develop more expressive keyboard technique

The PSR E383's 61 touch-sensitive keys respond to the strength of your playing, so softer key presses produce gentler results while firmer playing increases the volume. That gives beginners an important introduction to dynamics and lets more experienced players put greater expression into performances. You can choose soft, medium, or hard touch-response settings, or switch the function off, helping you adjust the keyboard to your playing. Its 48-note polyphony supports more involved arrangements, while USB audio and MIDI functionality provides connectivity for compatible recording setups. The battery option also gives you the ability to practise where mains power isn't readily available.
