It's really a pain when you get the wrong keyboard and regret it Jeremy is really helping out so many uninformed buyers We should really be thankful to have him around!

I have the Casio CT S1. It's a blast to play. I find that other keyboards with screens and lots of functions are distracting for people who are just learning the basics, but that's just my opinion. All the keyboards are good for their category. Good thing we have Jeremy to help us make an educated choice.

Armed with your advice, I feel like I made the right choice buying the E373 for my first keyboard a few weeks ago. I'm well aware there are many better keyboards and pianos out there, but with a budget of around $200 I was really not expecting much. This thing is feature packed and more than capable for a beginner such as myself and the portable Grand Piano sounds phenomenal. Thank you so much for your in depth review, demo, and comparison videos! You've earned yourself another subscriber 👍

I'm just watching this video and new to playing the keyboard. I was blown away by the beautiful piano sound on the Yamaha E373 and called my local Guitar Center to ask if they had any in stock. Luckily they had 3 in the store so I didn't hesitate to pick one up.I love it!

Note that if you're NOT traveling around to gigs, etc. the extra weight of the CTX-700 might very well be a good thing, making it a bit more stable on your keyboard stand. Mine just survived 3 days exposed to a 3-year old without getting knocked off the stand.

I just got a PSR-EW310 for Christmas while my mom was here visiting. I have been playing on a 2004 model Yamaha EZ-150 for years (though I just recently started learning to play in earnest). I must say it is quite the improvement from what I am used to. I absolutely love it! Being able to have dynamics in my playing literally brought tears to my eyes the first time I played it. Your past videos of the PSR-E373 really helped me choose this keyboard and I am soooo happy. Thank you Jeremy!

I played piano for more than a decade but gave it up after moving into a tiny apartment. Now it’s been years and I need to re-teach myself. I think I’ll pick up the CT S1. Thank you!

Hi Jeremy. I’ve had the Yamaha E373 for a few months and am absolutely delighted with it. I am still exploring all the functions and voices but I can’t tell you how much fun It is while learning. I’m very happy I purchased this keyboard, which I did on your recommendation.It is worth way more than the price it sells for

Thank you! My 9 year old asked for a keyboard piano for Xmas this was really helpful. I almost bought a Walmart one that had none of the good features.

Seriously, you are the King keyboard reviewer. I like that you layout the keyboards potential players according to there goals. I need a light weight keyboard to play when I visit a church and play on the street with my band for Summer festivals. The CTS 1 sounds right. However, I do love the Cdp 150 and the Casio 5 stage piano with battery capabilities hex control of sounds 88 keys and Bluetooth capabilities. The DGX670 is too heavy and cumbersome. Thank you for this excellent video. If you had a store you would make a fortune for real.

Ive just got my yamaha psr e373 today and I'm truly amazed of the quality of it the keys feel great the sounds and functions are amazing for £200 you are getting a great bit of kit well worth it

Great video as usual Jeremy, but this one is so much more. It is the epitome for the majority of your viewers from non players wanting to learn to play the piano, to beginners, hobbyist players, moderate musicians, and even professional players, which I will mention why a little later. You address all the important factors a prospective buyer needs to know from the price, and essential features for someone that doesn't need a full weighted 88 key digital piano for traditional, formal piano training, but it still can be a portable compact supplemental keyboard, or if the student cannot afford or have space for a real acoustic piano or 88 key digital version at home. The under $200 category is the sweet spot for a decent keyboard with all the basics, without investing too much, in case you lose interest in playing, like you mentioned. And what is available in these offerings was unheard of just a few years ago, and even more so in the last 40 years prior, like I mentioned in previous videos with my first real synthesizer and Fender Rhodes 73 key stage piano. My Roland JX-3P costs as much as a Roland RD 88 today, with a limited selection of archaic quality tones, and only 6 note polyphony, and I don't think it even had touch sensitive keys. But it did have metal construction, pitch bend lever and sequencer. 😜 The Fender Rhodes had 73 piano like keys, nice action, but limited sound choices and quality dependent on amplification and effects processing. The Yamaha Reface CP has that in spades in a compact, albeit 37 mini key format, but a whole lot more, and it didn't weigh a ton, and isn't so big to transport like the Rhodes. Yes, the features, price, and sound quality, with self amplification in these 5 keyboards was unheard of until now, especially with the top tier Yamaha PSR-E373 and Casio CT-S1 offerings. Each keyboard addresses the specific demographics of your viewers to address personal needs for their individual playing purposes. As an example, Honda has the new Civic, and as usual has 4 trim level models, to address different categories and features and different price points, specifically equipped and priced for a purpose. It logical and well thought out. People always comment why doesn't a certain trim model have this or that? Because it is what it is, just like keyboards and every other product. For production cost, profit and ability to offer more choices and quality products, stay in business, manage supply issues, be competitive and have an attractive offering that addresses the needs and wants of the consumer. And also have quality, performance, reliability, durability, longevity and customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. Though no longer cutting edge sound, the CT-S300 is the ideal entry level on the go arranger keyboard with its easy to carry handle, and not too expensive or nice that you can take to the beach, park, and just keep in your car trunk to always have with you. It's something I might even consider and keep the CT-S1 at home, except for certain occasions. Touch sensitive features and all the essential functions you mentioned. The CT-LK250 Is a perfectly tailored variant of the above, sans the pitch bend lever, but with lighted keys, learning functions and microphone input. The CT-X700 is the best value, full featured arranger keyboard if compactness and portability is not a factor. The Yamaha PSR-E373 is the best full featured arranger keyboard in this price category, with flagship grand piano sound, advanced sound enhancement features, and such. If I played keyboards a lot, had the room, and needed more diversity in my audio arsenal, I still would not mind having one, not so much for the arranger functions, but the sound quality and decent keyboard action, but it would be a hard choice between this, and the Casio CT-S400, with the price difference not bring an issue to me. What I like is the more professional USB connection as opposed to the Micro USB one in most of the other non pro level keyboards. My Roland JD-Xi had this USB jack, but even my Go:Keys has a micro USB jack, as it is in a special niche consumer/semi pro category. The shortcomings of the PSR-E373 are no pitchbend lever, minimal number of user presets, and limited polyphony. The drum icons below the keys on arranger keyboards screams non professional keyboard, but it's there for a purpose. To be fair, years ago, one of the expensive full blown Roland Jupiter Synthesizers with metal side plates had those, too. Or something similar. My Go:Keys has 128 note polyphony, and lots of tones, including the General MIDI GM2 soundset. The design architecture of my Go:Keys Loop Function is an innovative concept and different from arrangers, but potentially increases creativity when you learn to master its use with live playing much like optimizing the design capabilities of the little Yamaha PSS-A50, which I also have. That is a great partner with the CT-S1, as Masataka Kono demonstrates on several of his videos. I almost got the PSR-E373 instead of the Go:Keys, if it wasn't out of stock at my local music store. But I had more funds available, have a longtime brand loyalty with Roland, and am satisfied with my choice. But ultimately, I still plan on getting the CT-S1. I initially wanted the CT-S400 for the pitchbend wheel, more voices and arranger functions, but realized the sonic capabilities and layering capabilities of the CT-S1. It is a must get for me, and what I would take on the go, instead of the my Go:Keys. Even without the pitchbend, the tones on it that is used the most are not usually ones you utilitize pitchbend with anyway. And in comparison, the 61 tones are more than most any digital "piano" has, including 88 key ones with weighted action and ivory feel keys like the Roland FP Series. The upper models may have more, I forgot, but I think the FP 90X costs as much, or more than the RD 88, and even has the flagship key sction like the RD2000 and Fantom 8 stage piano and workstation. The CT-S400 is a great keyboard for a little more for arranging, recording and sounds great, even better if you have that and the CT-S1, but if you are a more advanced player, and love the sonic aural wonders of the CT-S1 and its layers tones, it's hard to beat at this price, or many other more expensive keyboards. It's so good, it would be a great keyboard for professional keyboardist, solo, or with small combos in more casual gigs, events and occassions. The ultimate win is the choices and affordability.

Casio really nailed the market for entry level keyboards and should stick to that segment instead of digital pianos . All reviewers rate these keyboards very highly and recommend them . Yamaha ,Korg and Roland are simply too expensive for this market segment

I was lost in a musical sea until this video. I think I'll go with the LKs200 because it has light up keys that will make learning more fun. :) Thank you for breaking things down for us complete novices!

thank you for this video! i'm buying a casio ct-s1 soon, big upgrade from my very old casiotone made in the 1990s!

Thanks for helping me pick out a piano. I was really stressed on what to get but your videos gave me confidence in what piano to pick. Thank you! I ordered the ct s1

Wow, this is a very informative video. Very well done and appreciate it alot Jeremy. I have been watching it over and over. I learned to play piano when I was very young, but my parents couldn't afford to buy a keyboard for me to practice on. So I solely rely on a keyboard cutout. Now that I have a baby, I wanted to learn playing tha piano again, so I can instill music in his life. After seeing this review im torn between ct-x700 and ct-s1. IT seems majority in the comments are more into ct-s1. Can share any experiences using the CT-S1

Thanks! You just made my first Keyboard purchase a lot easier and much more informed. I am of course still debating between the Yamaha 373 and Casio S1, but I'll make that decision soon.

Hey Jeremy...Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. I mentioned to you, prior to Christmas I picked up a Yamaha PSR-EW310, and was having a great time with it. Being a guitar player, for Christmas my wife gave me a Boss Katana 50 MKII guitar amp, a 50 Watt modeling amp with lots of effects, 12" speaker. It has a 3.5mm Auxiliary input for playback devices, or other musical instruments. I jacked in the PSR-EW310, wow! Sounds fantastic. For your followers like myself that play guitar as well, or those that just want a solid amp, I can highly recommend this amp. Terrific value for money at $250 US Dollars.

Thank you Jeremy. I’m getting back to keyboards after not playing one for 60 years. Yup, I’m an old fart….but motivated and looking forward to learning better than I did the first time. I truly appreciate your Best Keyboard for Beginners video with your evaluation of your top five choices. You have definitely added some clarity to my decision process. Thanks again.

Watched your video, and bought the Casio CT-S1 for my son. I care more about the quality of the audio than all those added features. Thank you for your video, really helped me decide.

I just memorized the first half of Bach Prelude #1 in C Major. Thanks for the inspiration and I bought two keyboards one for me and one for my father which you did a video about. The Yamaha PSR- EW310. I’m Working on my speed and clarity. But definitely clarity comes first. Thanks again.

I wanted to say thank you for this really informative video. I know absolutely close to nothing about keyboards, coming from learning and practicing guitar over the last year.

Such a helpful video even though it's the end of 2022 when I'm watching. It's always been a personal goal of mine to learn to play an instrument, and I've always love the piano and keyboard. Thank you for your expert opinion I got the CT-X700. I can't wait to start learning and playing!

Fantastic video Jeremy! I am teaching myself how to play, and now thanks to your video, I know which keyboard to purchase. Thank you for the great info.

Hi Jeremy Thanks for the videos, they have really helped me to make a good choice. But I have a question about the battery function. In the manual of the Casio LK S250 and maybe also the Casio CT S300, I saw there is an option on the settings to set the type of battery you want to use, rechargeable or normal batteries. If they are rechargeable do you know if the Keyboard will also charge them while you're using the power adaptor? Thanks in advance

I am trying to get into getting a keyboard cause I want to get into this but don’t want to pay so much if it’s something I end up not liking it. His channel has been so helpful :)

I took piano lessons as a child and taught myself to play guitar and other instruments. It’s been years since I’ve seriously played so I am am in between the ct-s1 and casio’s hammer action s150. I talked myself down to the ct-s1 because it is such a great price and I can make sure I’m back into playing routinely, before investing in a large keyboard. I owned a korg workstation back in the 90s and I remember hating the springy feeling of a synth keyboard. I hope I the boxy key shape of the Casio and matte keys will be an improvement.

Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your great review. I'm looking for my nine years old daughter first keyboard. She will explore and learn by herself with a music learning app. After watching your review, I was thinking of Casio C-TS1 or LKS-250. Do you have any particular suggestions? Thanks again

I literally just found a Yamaha PSR 275 in my town local illegal dump site. I cleaned it up and surprisingly it still works! Not bad for free! It's pretty ancient but beggars can't be choosers.

Great video! I have 5 kids, just starting to take interest in music. Balance and budget are key; your video was a big help.

this is exactly the information i was looking for! THANK YOU for making it available....

I am a guitarist interested in branching out into keyboard. This video is amazing. It saved me so much time.

I’m thinking of picking up a used keyboard. I found an fp30 for $600 (stand, pedal included) and a fp90 for $500 (pedal and case). Trying to decide which one to buy. I’m returning to playing, it’s been awhile, a long while. Any thoughts on the best choice?

Love the video! Is the Yamaha EZ300 still a recommended model or is the E373 better for beginner-intermediate?

Incredibly useful video. I've subscribed! Am just starting my 9 yo on piano lessons and am thinking of getting one of these at home. She will practice with a full 88-key piano at school. Thinking of getting the CT S-300 because of the fun features to keep her engaged and maybe later upgrade to a Yamaha. Or maybe I will just get the Yamaha E373 but the price differential is substantial here in India. Your video made it so much easier, thanks!

Hi Jeremy, great channel and videos, subscribed. Since it's 2022 now, is there any way to connect these keyboards to Bluetooth headphones/earphones without the lag/latency? I've been meaning to buy but don't know which, so I can pair it with my Sennheiser Momentum True wireless 2 to save some cash. Hope you reply please. Thank you.

Really great review Jeremy, the Yamaha keyboard sounds fantastic!

Thank you Jeremy! You helped me choose the right keyboard for my 8yr old daughter. I got her the Yamaha PSR E373 and she loves it. It really is a great choice for a beginner 🎶🎵🎶🤘🏻

Hi, Jeremy. Between the Casio CDP-S160 and the Roland FP-10, which would you recommend I go with? If so, why? Thanks! :)

Thanks so much Jeremy, watched many of your videos and it helped a lot.

Hi Jeremy - thanks for your reviews. Is the Casiotone LK-S250 compatible with other apps such as Simply Piano and FlowKey? Thanks

I just ordered the Yamaha E373 based on your review. Can’t wait to get it.

You doing you thing king. I appreciate this 🙏🏾

Thanks so much for introducing many digital products. I’ve chosen one wait for delivery in Jan.

Hello Jeremy, You advise me Yamaha EZ 220 or Casio CTS 300 ?

Hi Jeremy i was wondering if u think the casio cdp-s110 is a good keyboard or not

I got casio ctx 700 , wanted to get s1 but wasn't available in my country. Thank u Jeremy for the information.

The PSR-E373 has got my vote. It has about 61 keys. Thanks!

Hi Jeremy. I am about to start my journey with keyboards. I have watched a lot of your videos on the best keyboards for beginners but it made me confused. Some things are good in some, and some are in others. Though, considering my budget, I've shortlisted a few of them. Can you please recommend which one should I go with as a first-time player? 1. Yamaha psr e373 2. Casio ct-s1 3. Casio lk-s250 Thanks.

Thank you for your honest reviews. I just purchased the Yamaha 373 to learn on. Had Amazon gift cards to use but it was sold out. I was searching every day for it back in stock and yesterday one showed up on Amazon warehouse that says it may a have scratch on it. For $183 I bought it and if there are other issues it is returnable. 👍🏻

Thanks for the intro. That's very helpful. Can you do a video to compare the learning system between Casio and Yamaha?

They're all nice in their own right, very valuable video to show this. You're the best channel for this!

Hi Jeremy merry Christmas 🤶 I was just wondering if you recommend buying medeli m361

Hi Jeremy. Great video's. 👍. I have purchased a casio ctx 700 and would like to connect better external speakers on this keyboard. Is this possible? If so, how can I do this please? Thank you.

Jeremy how does the Casio CT-S1 compare to the Alesis Recital? as far as sound and keyboard feeling.

Yamaya PSR 373 is a monster for the price range, I take it to my gigs and it never disappoints.

Hey Jeremy awesome video, I'm struggling to find some of these especially at a reasonable price and some have newer versions. Just a suggestion, could you perhaps make a newer more up to date version of this video, that would be amazing.

Does the ct s1 connect to other android apps exept chordana like perfect piano app or org 2020 ? And if it does work it will be by Bluetooth or by midi cable ? I will be so grateful to you Mr. Jeremy 💓

Hii! I was wondering if the donner dek-610 is a good piano for beginners? I want to start playing piano but Im worried I might not end up liking it lol so ye- If it isnt a good choice I’ll go for the pricier ones then, Its just that I want this one cause its so cheap compared to the others considering financial problems and stuff.

What one do you guys recommend best for a beginner like myself which ive never played before was looking more into a Yamaha psre373 or casio cts1

I would like to see a poll for those keyboard owners to get a better view about what they recommend as well big fan of your content by the way ❤

I'm gonna be getting a keyboard for my birthday, is the Casio ctx700 the best options over some of these?

Hi im the from Philippines,this is very helpful because piano keyboard here are very expensive specially yamaha i think i wilI buy the Casiotone CT - S300

Sir Jeremy bravo!! Good show, no time wasted, informative! You should sing more!! I like your voice!! Thanks!!

Hey, I need your help! I'm thinking of learning to play piano, but it's expensive, principally in the country I live, so the best option is to buy a keyboard. Then, thinking only about learning to play piano, do you think the CT S1 is a good choice for me, since I wouldn't be using other tones, only the piano one?

My first 2 keyboards where the prototype Casio 670 tone bank and also the psr 640 professional keyboard

Dude, this one of the best review I ever watch.

Been waiting for this vid!

Merci, I have to upgrade since I bought a non-weighted keyboard and then started lessons. This is a language I should have learned over 50 years ago, so it's not too late to start.

Just got my CT-S300. Thanks for the recommendation.

Great video! I hope you can do a video of the CVP 805/809

Finally I bought the CT-X700 because of budget considerations. I was worried about the CT-S300, but it seems that the CT-X700 is more suitable for beginners and of course the price is good! Thx to this video 😉

CT-S1, I like the best. As usual, thank you for your review and Merry Christmas

pretty amazing the sound quality that comes out of these low range keyboards.. reminds me of back when i was a kid in the 80's and 90's playing with toy keyboards.. the "instruments" didn't sound like the real instruments at all lol, it was ridiculous.

I first bought a cheap worn out piano to test the waters and learn the basics of piano, music theory, etc. and maybe get rid of it if got bored with it 🤷‍♂ well surprise surprise! I really got into Pianos I can now sort of play along songs and learn the more intermediate lessons that's when the catastrophe happened! 🤣 the Cheap Old Piano's now broken (some keys dont work anymore and the power connector needs to be on the right angle in order for the piano to power up) so yeah I'm on the market for a new Piano..something that wont cost a fortune but still have the features I like this video helps a lot with the decision making 😊 Cheers Mate!

Can i also use the first one as midi keyboard in a DAW? (Sorry if you mentioned it already)

Hi Jeremy! I want to buy a piano. I am between Roland Fp30x or Korg Bp2s ??? Which is better or has better sound? More professional for a pianist ....

Hello friend, I have seen the reviews of the Korg ek50 and the Roland ex30, both are good, but which one has better piano sound quality. I don't know which one to choose. Greetings

Hello Jeremy , Thanks for sharing 😊 I really love to play piano.

hey im trying to learn piano and i dont know much abt it i wanted to know if you can charge electric pianos or do they run on batteries ?

Love your video's. I have a Casio CT-S410 I want to use it as a midi controller with garageband on my mac and garageband on my ipad. I tried plugging it in went into the settings and turned off local control still could not hear the software instruments. So what do I need to do?

How did you record them? I have the E373 and I wanna get the same quality as yours. What cables? Did you use interface?

Hello - I am very new to the keyboard-buying market, and I appreciate your wisdom here. I think i have a keyboard in mind. However, I have a very "newbie" question. I have an amp/dac that I plug my headphones (Sennheiser HD600) into, which then of course goes into my PC. I am wondering if there is a way, if I bought one of these keyboards, for me to keep my headphones plugged into my amp/dac and plug the keyboard into my PC via USB, and have the sound go from keyboard -> usb -> PC -> amp/dac -> headphones. Is this possible? Thanks so much for the video.

Thank you, the last choice is the one I would love to get!

I opted for an arranger keyboard albeit an older one. It weighs a ton but as it never leaves the house. The PSR 6700 is perfect for starting out as you don’t need to use lol the functions until you’re comfortable with your playing. I find Casio stuff except the high end gear to be very cheaply made and feel horrible when playing.

Thanks to you and my job’s generosity, I was able to purchase the Casio LK S250 for $140 (tax included) I can’t wait for my son to open it on Xmas day 🥰🥰 (and so I can play it too) hehe. THANKS FOR THIS INFO!

hi there! I'm upgrading from my psr-e373 and was wondering if I should by the p45 or p125. Will I have to eventually upgrade again from the p45 if I buy it, or is there any other piano you would recommend in the same price range?

All videos are series of netflix to me ,great to watch and entertaining. I luv casio for beginner on low price whereas for medium price go for yamaha its the best . I luv your lesson you are playing whats the name of the song ?

Will yamaha e463 a good choice? I am chosing my first piano so i dont want it to be too simple or too complex

Hello great video, thank you, you are helping me alot. I have a question : Don't you need a full weighted keyboard, to have the same feels as an acoustic piano, isn't it better to learn ?

authentic. Hope I didn't make a bad choice was going for the yamaga psre473 but instead went for the yamaha psr e373 because of sound quality and cloth coverd speakers

Hi. I enjoy your videos. Do you have any video that compare the sound of piano os Yamaha psr373 and Roland ex10? thanks. Have a great Christmas

So I just looked up Casio cts1 499 I have an interest in that one and then what the color keys I have a thing with Casio I think they make good products I just want to put my hands on some keys still looking and as always your video is very helpful taught me how to look up things see what you're paying for

Hello Jeremy, I love watching your videos. I am a beginner & trying to decide which keyboard to buy. You review a lot of great sounding ones. Also, I "LOVE" the pretty song you're playing at 0:01, 9:27 & 12:39 video counts! Please tell me...what is the name of the artist and title of the song? I want to learn how it play it. Thanks😍

Hi Jeremy I have one question about the yamaha dgx 670 its about video recording on a cell phone because yamaha app doesn't support that model is there any app similar tha allows you to record video and sound and share that will work on the dgx670? Thank you in advance

Can these keyboards be used for midi sound production on the computer? I want to buy one for my brother who is interested in both learning piano and electronic music production.

For anyone that is experienced, what is your opinion on the P45 vs the P155? I can’t seem to find much comparison of the P155 to the P45. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance!

All i want is to learn piano but seeing this theres so many things to consider! Thanks Jeremy!
