Hey, what's up, y'all? Steve here from Home Studio Gear Reviews, and today I'm excited to introduce my latest addition to the studio-a brand new Yamaha PSR.E 373 Keyboard. I'm stoked to share with you all why I chose this specific keyboard and what makes it stand out for me.
Before we dive in, don't forget to hit that subscribe button, give this video a thumbs up, and feel free to drop your questions and comments in the section below. Now, let's unbox this bad boy and check it out!
First things first, the packaging ensured that the keyboard arrived safe and sound, with Styrofoam and protective covering keeping it well-protected. Inside the box, you'll find the power pack, a sturdy stand, and the manual-everything you need to get started.
So, why did I go with the Yamaha PSR.E 373? Well, I already own several keyboards, but this one stood out for a few reasons. Firstly, it's much more affordable than some of my other options, which is always a plus. Plus, it's super lightweight and portable, perfect for taking outside and playing in the park or wherever inspiration strikes.
One thing that sealed the deal for me is the built-in speakers. I initially considered using a Bluetooth speaker, but I found that the latency was too much of a hassle, especially when playing with my AirPods. With this keyboard, I can play directly without any additional speakers, making it so much more convenient.
Another great feature is that it runs on six AA batteries, which means I can play without worrying about finding an electrical outlet. Plus, it has an Aux-in, allowing me to jam along with my favorite playlists on my phone. And if I want to use it as a MIDI controller for my DAW or laptop, it has a USB port for that too.
Let's talk about the sound! The PSR.E 373 offers a variety of voices, including pianos, electric pianos, organs, and more. I particularly love the funky EP sound, perfect for adding some sauce to my playing. And the realistic keys on this keyboard really impressed me-quality touch and feel, even though it's not a fully weighted keyboard.
Now, it does have its limitations. I wish it had a pitch bend feature for some expressive playing, but for its price and portability, I can live without it. The lack of touch screen and the inclusion of a manual might seem outdated, but honestly, they still serve their purpose well.
To sum it up, the Yamaha PSR.E 373 is an excellent option for those on a budget who want a versatile and lightweight keyboard. It may not have all the bells and whistles of high-end models, but for playing on-the-go or in casual settings, it's a winner. I'm looking forward to exploring more sounds and features as I continue to use it in my home studio.
