For many years now, Yamaha have been the leading professionals in manufacturing beginner keyboards. All the way through to fully immersive arranger workstations. These amazing machines can replicate an extraordinary amount of different instrument voices and accompaniment styles to the highest possible quality. It’s understandable why they are without doubt the best on the market. Let’s take a look slightly more in-depth, shall we?
If you are a beginner player, looking to gain knowledge and skills on using more advanced arranger workstations - the PSRE410 is a great option. Carrying features found on the higher end models, this is a fantastic introduction without making a major dent in your bank balance.
This is a 76 note keyboard, featuring over 700 voices and 200 accompaniment styles. For a newbie, that’s a pretty good amount of sounds to experiment with. This is why Yamaha keyboards are one of the best for amateur musicians. On top of this (oh yes, there’s more!), you get assignable control knobs, DSP effects, registration banks, USB Audio Recorder. The list is endless, giving you an excellent choice of musical possibilities!
This is the first keyboard in what’s known as the
‘PSRS’ Series. Starting with the
PSRS670, this offers a level of professionalism which is sometimes not expected of instruments in this price range. This model, like all the others in the range, are perfect for students, entertainers, songwriters and practically anyone who plays the piano.
The keyboard features 61 touch sensitive key and 2 assignable control knobs. These can be used to give your performances the unique sound you expect from a Yamaha instrument. The
PSRS670 is the smaller unit out of the 3. That doesn’t stop it from being an amazing keyboard to play and hear. It introduces multi-pads and registration banks, so you can save all your desired sounds/settings and get them back at the touch of a button.
Upgraded and full of musical possibilities, the
PSRS775 is the next step up and one of Yamaha’s flagship arranger workstations. The 7 inch colour display makes selecting your voices and styles a very simple process.
