    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 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.

You can also use that adapter to play backing music from your smartphone or device ibtobyoue keyboard speakers to play along with.

    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!

      Agreed, Casio has great entry level keyboards like those in this video. Their Digital pianos are great for the prices and features. The CDP-S350 is great for its price, as is the DGX-670.
      Yamaha had great affordable entry level keyboards in the under $200 price range, like the PSR-E373.
      I like keyboards from both of these brands. The CT-S1 is even great as a backup keyboard for professionals, or for smaller casual or small combo gigs and events, as well to take on the go to play. The CT-S1 has killer sounds, especially when layered.
      My main brand preference is Roland, but they don't have any keyboards in this price range, but the Go:Keys I have for a bit more is a great keyboard.

  • @jjacob25101
    @jjacob25101 3 роки тому +32

    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.

It has a 3.5mm Auxiliary input for playback devices, or other musical instruments. I jacked in the PSR-EW310, wow! Sounds fantastic.

  • @danieldougan269
    @danieldougan269 Рік тому +2

    My advice for beginners: spend just a tiny bit more money and get something with 88 weighted keys. These have become much more affordable in recent years, particularly on the used market, and they are much more satisfying to play. They feel much more like a real piano, and you won't develop bad habits from playing them. Plus, they are more forgiving to prevent you from playing clams (wrong notes) accidentally. I can be much more precise on my weighted keyboard than I could on one of these cheaper models like I used to have.
    Even $300 or $400 will be a huge step up to get a weighted keyboard. It won't have all the bells and whistles, but the most important part is the key action. You can always hook a digital piano up to a computer to add more sounds and features, but you can't fix the key action on a lesser keyboard.
    Of course, weighted keyboards with more arranger features are available. They just cost a little more. I would recommend the new Yamaha CK88 for that or, if you're wanting to save some money, look for a Yamaha DGX-640, 650, or 660, especially on the used market.

But, it is about $180 more expensive (in Ukraine) than the Yamaha PSR-E373. In addition, the PSR-E373 has a learning function. The most important thing for me right now is to learn to play. I guess I'll buy it. Thank you for the review. Today I subscribed to your channel and will definitely watch all (but not right away) videos.

    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 😉

    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'll start. Not all of these are reviewed by Jeremy, and some not in the entry or moderate price ranges. Some I have, and some I plan to get in the near future or down the road.
      Yamaha PSS-A50
      A $100 keyboard that seems like a toy with 37 mini keys, but you wouldn't believe what it can do. I have one of these. Check out the videos by Masataka Kono playing it, sometimes using 2 or three, or in combo with the CT-S1 or Yamaha Reface CP, a more expensive mini format professionsl level keyboard I may get. It has all the popular vintage electric keyboards with built in effects. There are 3 more in the Reface Series: the DX which is a mini version of the old popular DX7 synthesizer used in many recordings of popular songs since it was released in the 1980's. The YC has all the popular organs with sliders and effects. The CS replicates the vintage early Yamaha analog synthesizers.
      The Yamaha PSR-E373 and Casio CT-S1 reviewed here. I plan to get the CT-S1, but would not mind having the PSR-E373, or the Casio CT-S400 arranger keyboard for $230.
      Roland Go:Keys
      I have this one, and it is awesome, but in the $350 price range. It lacks features in other keyboards, but makes up for it in many other ways.
      Roland JD-Xi
      This is a professionsl synthesizer/vocorder/4 track sequencer in the 37 mini key format in the $600 range. It has specific niche applications, not so much like the standard piano keyboards Jeremy reviews.
      Roland V Combo VR-09B
      This is a 61 note professional piano/organ keyboard for live performance or recording, etc. In the $1200 range.
      Roland RD 88 Stage piano. This is an incredible professional stage piano that is top tier, with built in speakers, compact format like the Casio CDP series and cost much less and is lighter that the Roland flagship RD2000 at $1350.
      Roland Fantom 6/7/8 workstations. These are expensive and have unlimited capabilities, but way overkill unless you are an advance player and music production artist.

    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.

    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

For $183 I bought it and if there are other issues it is returnable. 👍🏻

    Which is Best piano to put in a backpack for campus or car or taking on a travel trip ?? Should be under 30" length?? Currently I use Casio SA76 and the big benefit is the 44 keys and very very low price, but otherwise the functionality/key-feel is quite like a 1980's toy, although the sounds are very suitable. If CT-S1 were made in 44 skinnier keys for smaller overall length it would be a perfect portable instrument.

    I wish synthesizer reviewers would pay the same excellent attention to other practical things like the ports, speakers/headphone, mic jacks, battery compartments etc...that we see here. Its amazing how little they say about these items and a synthesizer often needs connections to MIDI, sequencer, drum machine trigger port, speakers etc..., so they are very important.

      @jjacob25101 3 роки тому +1

      I'm a friend of Jeremy, and very familiar with these keyboards and features. In my opinion, spend the $230 and go with the CT-S400 if you need all the tones and rhythms, and the pitchbend. If not, go for the CT-S1 of you want the even higher level of sonic quality than the already awesome CT-S400. 61 tones is a lot more than many of the more expensive digital pianos, even ones with 88 weighted keys.
