I bought my PSR-E373 based on your recommendation! & It made my beginner experience the best I could ask for! & Was frankly thinking of an upgrade to a larger keyboard! When u just uploaded this video! I have to say your reviews are thorough and informative and to the point! & I believe you have just helped me make my next piano purchase! From the bottom of my heart thank you!🙏
I recently bought a Alesis recital pro 88 keys . And let me tell you , I wish I had discovered this instead of wasting that money. I’ll be returning it and buying this one.
I have PSR-EW310, lot's of fun experimenting with different sounds. It is also one heck of a terrific value. Though the PSR-E425 offers some really nice compelling features, the price IMHO, puts it in another category of keyboards with other options. However if it fits your needs, it is no question a great keyboard. Love the Mic input feature. Always good to get Jeremy's honest advice and review.😀
I just bought my new PSR EW425 from our Yamaha outlet here in Suva, Fiji. The sounds are easy listening to and very professional in many ways. It's easy to handle and play your favorite tunes. Overall is the 76 key it has. I also have Tyros 2, Casio WK 7600 & Kurzweil KP200..
After 20 years of not playing the keyboard/Organ I think I have found what I'm looking for to get back into it again. Just checked with my local music store and they have stocks of the PSR-EW425 on the way. I may even do one of your course packs as a refresher.
I've been looking your reviews videos for more than 8 months, i didn't have enought money to buy myself a piano, but now i have one that's going to arrive soon, thank you for your content you really helped me to choose
Yamaha EW 425 - best. I don't speak English, please translate following. У меня была и есть Yamaha PSR 550, и да ей 21 год, и она до сих пор работает, и захотелось обновления. Считаю что у этой клавиатуры нет конкуренции ! Надеюсь что нам завезут в страну их и что мне ее довезут без царапин). Спасибо вам Джереми Сии, за обзоры и демонстрацию товара.
For me, the best feature of this keyboard (besides the 76 keys and good quality sounds) is the ability to turn on/off various parts of the accompaniment STYLE. Until recently it was an all-or-nothing and many times you don't actually need the entire accompaniment. Korg recently brought this feature to their midrange arrangers (with the EK-50) and I'm glad that Yamaha is catching up with them.
You are wrong that "until recently it was an all-or-nothing" regarding the ability to turn on/off various parts of the accompaniment style. In fact, this feature has been present in the PSR-E463, PSR-E453, PSR-E443, and PSR-E433. The PSR-E433 was released in July 2012. So, this feature has been present in the PSR-E400 series for at least 10 years.
come on.Yamaha has this feature from old days.i use PSR 600,and i can mute or turn off some part of accompaniment..just dont ask me how old that PSR600.🤣
Finally, a Yamaha PSR-EW425 review, thanks Jeremy See, now I know that am sure of what to chose between the Yamaha keyboard Yamaha PSR-E473 & PSR-EW425, and the answer is Yamaha PSR-EW425
Hello Jeremy , its a great pleasure to follow your program , i follow all your pages and the yamaha psr ew 425 has my highest attention to buy in the nearest future .I hope he has also a learning app on the 76 keys , to quickly learn to play romantic piano modern songs . Keep goiing on , you're te best ! greetings erik from Belgium 👍
I own Yamaha DGX305, predecessor of this model edited 15years ago, and also agree that it offers a lot even if you are the professional. Although I have several other keyboards, I use it very often for both recording and live gigs because of nice sounding tones that are still rich and persuasive, when used cleverly, of course. That instrument is made to meet huge amount of demands for different artistic expectations. Some sounds are nice prepared for sophisticated performance using advantage of well balanced dynamic keybed. This model you analyse today is advanced in arrangements and abilities of sound control, but usage pattern is still approximately the same.
Great video Jeremy (as always!) Would love to see a comparison of the E473/EW425 vs. the SX600 - is the SX600 worth THREE TIMES the price of the PSR-E473? Or more than twice the price of the EW425 (which has more keys). I have an EW425 and absolutely love it!
@@Zaudi_Jonas UExcept for the 76-keys and being the (AFAIK) most powerful speakers on a keyboard / piano that can be battery powered, the SX600 specwise is much stronger than the EW425, includng the speakers (now 30W instead of 24W). The EW425's 820 voices are over half XGlite, while the SX600 has 850 voices + 480 XGlite, plus the panel voices are often of higher grades (Live! Cool! Sweet! Super Articulation) and based on the PSR-E373 I have, the difference between a ! voice and Regular counterpart is audible even to a noob (me). It has more DSPs (DSP1 on EW425 only powers the Main Voice, and the DSP2 only has about 10 effects). You even get more scales, the pitch wheel can be set to affect some layers and not the others .. etc. The only thing is how much an actual user will miss those missing features.
Great channel ....bought a PSR e373 today....got a great price from musician’s friend.....play guitar but total beginner with keys....your videos are priceless....much appreciated
Please answer 2 questions. 1. Can individual style components be amended to sound differently. 2. Can new styles be created or downloaded into this keyboard. Thanks.
Hello my friend Jeremy, what can you advice me to buy ? the new yamaha psr-ew425 or the Roland G800 ? I like the last one also ,is it a good as the yamaha 425 ? Thank you for your fast reply , as i can buy this Roland vintage keyboard for a cheap price of 240 dollar . Thanks & keep doiing great , i love what you do , greetings erik from Belgium , your far friend and follower all times.
Hello Sir, I am planning to buy PSR EW425 in jan, will that be a good option or should i wait this year for any other latest PSR model in that range and budget. Eagerly waiting for your reply
Dear Jeremy - I must thank you for alerting us to this keyboard. I do not have the room for 88 keys - and several people informed me 61-key versions are too limited - so I bought this very keyboard upon your review! Today I created my first original track after several weeks of just doing covers - so I dedicate this to you - ua-cam.com/video/CPWf8f26mJw/v-deo.html - thanks so much! Sateesh (London, England)
I'm kind of torn. Currently, I have an aging Korg PA800, and the PSR-EW-425 will never be a replacement for that keyboard. But, I am looking for something a little more portable that I can take to our fellowships and play there. For a price difference of about $200USD, I'm contemplating the EW-425 or the Medeli AKX-10. One of the things I really want to be able to do is use Band In A Box to be able to send MIDI backing tracks to either keyboard, but I also would want an option of sending the audio data from BIAB to the speaker setup, and the EW-425, with the Aux input, offers that, but the Medeli also offers audio input, in fact, two 1/4" mono inputs, which means I'll need to get a special cable to go from 1/8" stereo to two 1/4" mono, but not a real issue. I like the 76 keys of the EW-425, but I never learned to read bass clef or play left-handed, only chords. Either device will suffice for that, but if I were looking for something inexpensive to start learning to fully play piano, reading and playing both clefs, the EW-425 would be my current choice. Now all I want to know is when is Korg going to release the PA5X-76? :)
I always enjoy your videos, See! You are very professional at these reviews and you make them really informative. Also, nice Roland shirt. Where did you get it? 🤔
Hi, I am looking for a digital piano for my kids. What i prefer is something that have really good sound and can mimic real close to a real piano. Such as what you describe the harder to press the louder it is. Love that this has the grand piano thing and i love the sound of it. I see this ew425 has so many bells and whistle which probably i won't even know what to do with it. It looks nice and fancy. I really fine with $400 but just wondering if there are simpler options with really good sound as this and with pedal. (i am not a pianist)
Hi Jerryme I have recently ordered the Yamaha PSR EW425 in India and I got it directly from the Yamaha company online store @ 27000 INR (341 USD APPROX) this is my first keyboard and before this I have never learnt to play systematically however I can play tunes that I hear. Was this a good buying decision and is there any help that I can get from you for learning piano through this keyboard
I like your videos. You made me buy the Casio CT-X 5000. This was a good idea. Please tell me, what song you play first in this video (that classical piano sound)! It's great!
Just bought this at Bentley PJ Malaysia... It's much cheaper in Singapore despite the currency conversion.. RM 1700+ in Singapore vs RM2800 in Malaysia... Tax too high in Msia!
Hello Jeremy, and thank you for the video. I'm looking for a keyboard that can be also be used as a midi controller in my DAW. Can the EW425 send midi signal and mute its own sounds? Thank you so much. Greetings.
Awesome video, Jeremy! Doing a demo of the Yamaha PSR-EW425 while wearing a Roland T Shirt. 😀 I find that hilarious, but Roland, Yamaha & Casio are all great right now. I wholeheartedly agree, this is the absolute best digital piano/keyboard for the price, or even much more expensive alternative to a full 88 note digital piano if you don't need or prefer full weighted keys. The only 76 note keyboard with better action is the Roland Fantom-07 workstation keyboard, but it is about 4 times the price. And it's worth it, but we are talking about $500 and under. Like I mentioned previously the 61 note PSR-E473 edges out the Casio CT-S500 in sound, and some features, like being able to turn separate rhythm track parts off/onn. But now that it has the pitch bend wheel, and both Yamaha and Casio in their latest keyboards have the upgrade to ¼" stereo audio output jacks. A very welcome addition for gigging/church musicians and music composers and creators. The CT-S500 is more compact for portability on the go, but if you are going to get just one keyboard, I recommend the PSR-E473 instead, if you don't need the more compact format, unless you want the voice synthesizer functions of the CT-S1000V. I plan on getting the latter next for that reason, and get the new Apple iPad Air with the M1 chip and 256G storage for the keyboard music functions and other uses. Getting the Boss Micro BR BR80 portable multitrack digital audio recorder can suit my purposes for DAW and backing track creation until I can get an Apple MacBook Air 512G. Those are a lot less expensive than for the same performance for what I need. I will probably also get a Zoom H4n Pro and a versatile all purpose recorder. Either can plug in to the audio input jack on all of these keyboards. But the PSR-EW425 is too good not to get for my personal church keyboard to complement our Casio CDP-S350. I can leave it there as my place does not have much space. And I don't have to transport it every Sunday. Down the road, I can finally get the Fantom-06 instead for home, that would be the perfect compliment for my PSS-A50, JD-XI Go:Keys and other gear. And I can akways bring the CT-S1000V or Fantom-06 to church when I want. My Go:Keys is ideal for on the go playing if I don't need the fast octave and voice changes, but just playing or remote music creation with the Micro BR recorder. All the available gear at affordable prices gives uscall so many choices and options to suit our needs and wants. Each keyboard and other gear have their unique features and purposes. I couldn't be happier, unless and until things I perceive to get better after dealingvwithbthe current problems can provide the access and ability for more resources to get more equipment fir us all to enjoy music, which in one of the best universal forms of therapy for ourselves and others.
I have been a long time fan of Jeremy's. Following this review, I decided to go with the EW425 as a replacement keyboard/synth. Since owning it, I have been sorely disappointed in the build quality. I admit the sounds are great, but in comparing it to the much cheaper and older Yamaha YPG-235 which I own, I did not find any noticeable difference in the amplifier/speakers. Also the key's on the EW425 are extremely light and cheap, much more so than on the YPG-235. I also found the on/off button to be very cheap and someone unreliable. It would not have cost an extra $.25 US to have used a better volume knob preferably with a rubberized coating. There are a huge number of high quality presets and combos. Unfortunately the interface is not as intuitive as some other keyboards. I believe the guts are a good foundation and with a little extra effort and for about an additional $15 in manufacturing cost, this could be a killer option.
Very good piano sound and heck Tyros3 The Yamaha PSR900/9000 pro is the start of Tyros synthesizer so sure not bad Yama PSR pro has no speakers. The Yamaha Genos is still 16bit 44,1 kHz so there is not much changed between synthesisers .
This was really the best review of this keyboard available on UA-cam! Although, I wanted to ask whether the onboard speakers work as monitors when the keyboard is connected to external speakers via a line-out port, or do they shut off?
Thanks for the review, Jeremy. Can you please advise if the 425 has the ability to be attached to a Liquid Stands with safety straps? I can't find anything in the user guide about it. Thanks in advance.
yep seems like they were available after the release and now they are gone. can’t find anywhere, looking for alternatives in the meantime though keep coming back to this keyboard.
What's the song memory or bank memory on this keyboard? I currently have a YPG-235 that has 5 user tracks where you can record up to five instruments on. I'm looking for a keyboard with more than 5. Maybe upwards of 8-10 user tracks and up to 6-7 sounds on each song. I don't know if Yamaha anything like it on the market currently.
Thanks Jeremy you are tireless and so usefull. Thanks to your detailed videos I bought a DGX 670 after lots of hesitation with the EW 425. I didnt want 88 keys, and a long bulky box, prefered 76, which is more than enough to my views, but the DGX arrangements are more alive and the style and sound editing is way richer. I wish I could have ordered from your links but in Canada, it meant going to Amazon and I preferred benefiting a local shop. But you deserve credits and I ll try order some stuff from your other links. I have Korg PA300 which is great if very tricky to fine tune, but quite astounding in its detailed editing, its really more complete as an arranger than Yamaha, so for some sounds, Korg is better, while for others, Yamaha is better, I do find sometimes Yamaha sounds a bit too.... perfect... almost cold, perhaps studio like is the word. Its a matter of taste. There is room for both Korg and Yamaha, and I hope that Casio is going to raise the bar sometime with the successor to the PX 560
Hi Jeremy l am planning to buy EW425 for my son age 10. He is now playing in church choir(India, Kerala). And the same time i have an option of psr s670 ( 5 year old second hand) Please recommend one from this two choices
Hi! Congratulate, great and very useful video! ;) To this instrument it is possible to upload more styles (rithms) to his built in memory (via USB stick)? I plan to buy a good instrument for my church, but I want an instrument which is capable to extend the built in styles with specific hungarian and worship-style rithms. I found two type of keyboards, which are not expensive: Roland BK 3 Arranger B and Yamaha PSR-EW425 . Which is better? At home I have two Yamaha keyboards (an old PSR 195 and a DGX 640 digital piano). I'm very satisfied with both! Thanks your help! Laci
You get a lot for the money and the only downside to this model is not enough polyphony. I wish that the dgx-670 had a 61 or 73 key version. I ended up purchasing the P-121 portable digital piano, but even though I do like it, I wish that there were more than 10 tones etc.

Yamaha EW 425 - best. I don't speak English, please translate following.

I'm getting my CT-S1vtoday, but I still want to get this PSR-EW425 eventually.
hello, and did you own now both???
which one fullfills your dreams? only both of it, or is the 425 enough, if someone is looking for a total package?
I thought I needed 88 weighted keys, but then I asked myself why. I really want to create my own music, via MIDI and audio recording.
Aaaahhhh, you had me at Gymnopedies..... And nice rendition of Besame Mucho.....

Thanks - great review!
1st like :D no Idea why i have to comment this but u put allot of efford in your vids
I appreciate it!
The keyboard is nice, just got one for doing gigs.
Best knowledgeable video with all details. How is EW 425 compared to PSR SX 900.
Tone registration memory button need to upgrade 8 button in this 76 keys keyboard.
Does it support play-along with simultaneous multi-track MIDI playback?
Thanks for the review , i ended up buying the dgx 670 in the upper price range but worth the stretch
Indeed! For those with the budget, the DGX is incredible value.
Super great keyboarn
Thanks Maestro!

Same! I want to upgrade now, and I am unsure if the EW425 same/better than the (now older) SX600
@@Zaudi_Jonas I'm sure the SX600 has better voices being in the "pro" category.

Hi @JeremySee, when you used WOODWIND, what style did you choose please?
Please answer 2 questions.
1. Can individual style components be amended to sound differently.
2. Can new styles be created or downloaded into this keyboard.
Thanks.
Wow the 100 keys is like a Bosendorfer built right in!
That's what I wanted in 1988!
due to advancements of technology,buying a roland, yamaha, and casio is now "personal preference" than "which is better"

Hi , does it have the function to quantize notes on the sequencer?
The only thing I wish Yamaha could catch up in this PSR e and ew series is Bluetooth connectivity 😢😢
I like this but want semi weighted keys so what's my options?
Can I use midi in this keyboard
Just bought this at Bentley PJ Malaysia... It's much cheaper in Singapore despite the currency conversion.. RM 1700+ in Singapore vs RM2800 in Malaysia... Tax too high in Msia!

The only 76 note keyboard with better action is the Roland Fantom-07 workstation keyboard, but it is about 4 times the price. And it's worth it, but we are talking about $500 and under.
Like I mentioned previously the 61 note PSR-E473 edges out the Casio CT-S500 in sound, and some features, like being able to turn separate rhythm track parts off/onn. But now that it has the pitch bend wheel, and both Yamaha and Casio in their latest keyboards have the upgrade to ¼" stereo audio output jacks. A very welcome addition for gigging/church musicians and music composers and creators.
The CT-S500 is more compact for portability on the go, but if you are going to get just one keyboard, I recommend the PSR-E473 instead, if you don't need the more compact format, unless you want the voice synthesizer functions of the CT-S1000V. I plan on getting the latter next for that reason, and get the new Apple iPad Air with the M1 chip and 256G storage for the keyboard music functions and other uses.
Getting the Boss Micro BR BR80 portable multitrack digital audio recorder can suit my purposes for DAW and backing track creation until I can get an Apple MacBook Air 512G. Those are a lot less expensive than for the same performance for what I need. I will probably also get a Zoom H4n Pro and a versatile all purpose recorder. Either can plug in to the audio input jack on all of these keyboards.
But the PSR-EW425 is too good not to get for my personal church keyboard to complement our Casio CDP-S350. I can leave it there as my place does not have much space. And I don't have to transport it every Sunday.
Down the road, I can finally get the Fantom-06 instead for home, that would be the perfect compliment for my PSS-A50, JD-XI Go:Keys and other gear. And I can akways bring the CT-S1000V or Fantom-06 to church when I want. My Go:Keys is ideal for on the go playing if I don't need the fast octave and voice changes, but just playing or remote music creation with the Micro BR recorder.
All the available gear at affordable prices gives uscall so many choices and options to suit our needs and wants.
Each keyboard and other gear have their unique features and purposes. I couldn't be happier, unless and until things I perceive to get better after dealingvwithbthe current problems can provide the access and ability for more resources to get more equipment fir us all to enjoy music, which in one of the best universal forms of therapy for ourselves and others.
You noticed the shirt. 😉 Can't wait for you to get your Fantom 06!
@@JeremySee That will be way far off. The CT-S1000V and PSR-EW425 are great at is. The Fantom-06 is just a whole new level of sound and capability.
I have been a long time fan of Jeremy's. Following this review, I decided to go with the EW425 as a replacement keyboard/synth. Since owning it, I have been sorely disappointed in the build quality. I admit the sounds are great, but in comparing it to the much cheaper and older Yamaha YPG-235 which I own, I did not find any noticeable difference in the amplifier/speakers. Also the key's on the EW425 are extremely light and cheap, much more so than on the YPG-235.
I also found the on/off button to be very cheap and someone unreliable. It would not have cost an extra $.25 US to have used a better volume knob preferably with a rubberized coating.
There are a huge number of high quality presets and combos. Unfortunately the interface is not as intuitive as some other keyboards. I believe the guts are a good foundation and with a little extra effort and for about an additional $15 in manufacturing cost, this could be a killer option.
Very important user review. Thanks
Jeremy how does this compare to the Casio Wk 7600?
The PSR-EW425 has 76 keys. It really gets my vote.
Can you do a review for Artesia Performer keyboard
Do I need the pedal or does it have the sustain function?
I have a PSR9000 with Yamaha Tyros 3 sounds , 8GB CF card , 64MB ram.
Very good piano sound and heck Tyros3 The Yamaha PSR900/9000 pro is the start of Tyros synthesizer so sure not bad Yama PSR pro has no speakers. The Yamaha Genos is still 16bit 44,1 kHz so there is not much changed between synthesisers .
Wow a new yamaha model
Hey Jeremy, could u please review Roland Ex 50 and compare with Korg EK50 and Yamaha PSR E473…
Does this keyboard have the famous Robbie Buchanan EP bell sound that’s heard in a lot of songs …? Please advise
I have one of these and love it. Do you know if a 32 note pedal board can be used with one? I would like to transfer onto organ eventually.
This was really the best review of this keyboard available on UA-cam!
Although, I wanted to ask whether the onboard speakers work as monitors when the keyboard is connected to external speakers via a line-out port, or do they shut off?
6:15 wow even Indonesian anthem included🤩
Which psr keyboard has the best grand piano portable w speakers? Thank you
Thanks for the review, Jeremy. Can you please advise if the 425 has the ability to be attached to a Liquid Stands with safety straps? I can't find anything in the user guide about it. Thanks in advance.
Great video Man. 👏👏👏. I’m about to purchase my son the Casio tone 300, this really helps.
Yamaha PSR-EW425 vs Casio WK-7600 which one is good ??
In Guitar the slides aren't there in this board sir?
I ordered the EW425 last month but until now it’s still in backorder ☹️
yep seems like they were available after the release and now they are gone. can’t find anywhere, looking for alternatives in the meantime though keep coming back to this keyboard.
That Roland tshirt is nice
Where can I order this?
What's the song memory or bank memory on this keyboard? I currently have a YPG-235 that has 5 user tracks where you can record up to five instruments on. I'm looking for a keyboard with more than 5. Maybe upwards of 8-10 user tracks and up to 6-7 sounds on each song. I don't know if Yamaha anything like it on the market currently.
I want to buy psr ew 425 . How to apply , pl tell me in details
It has Indian sounds or not like harmonium, santoor,pluck,dulcimer etc.
Can this keyboard quantize anything u record?
Thanks Jeremy you are tireless and so usefull. Thanks to your detailed videos I bought a DGX 670 after lots of hesitation with the EW 425. I didnt want 88 keys, and a long bulky box, prefered 76, which is more than enough to my views, but the DGX arrangements are more alive and the style and sound editing is way richer. I wish I could have ordered from your links but in Canada, it meant going to Amazon and I preferred benefiting a local shop. But you deserve credits and I ll try order some stuff from your other links. I have Korg PA300 which is great if very tricky to fine tune, but quite astounding in its detailed editing, its really more complete as an arranger than Yamaha, so for some sounds, Korg is better, while for others, Yamaha is better, I do find sometimes Yamaha sounds a bit too.... perfect... almost cold, perhaps studio like is the word. Its a matter of taste. There is room for both Korg and Yamaha, and I hope that Casio is going to raise the bar sometime with the successor to the PX 560
What style you use in woodwind
How does this compare to the Yamaha DGX-670?
Hi Jeremy l am planning to buy EW425 for my son age 10. He is now playing in church choir(India, Kerala). And the same time i have an option of psr s670 ( 5 year old second hand) Please recommend one from this two choices
All while wearing a Roland shirt. Mixed message, Jeremy? 😉 🤣
What if I want a keyboard that just sounds like an acustic piano?
Hi! Congratulate, great and very useful video! ;)
To this instrument it is possible to upload more styles (rithms) to his built in memory (via USB stick)? I plan to buy a good instrument for my church, but I want an instrument which is capable to extend the built in styles with specific hungarian and worship-style rithms. I found two type of keyboards, which are not expensive: Roland BK 3 Arranger B and Yamaha PSR-EW425 . Which is better? At home I have two Yamaha keyboards (an old PSR 195 and a DGX 640 digital piano). I'm very satisfied with both! Thanks your help! Laci
How do the keys feel compared to the Yamaha P-125?
Where can I get or buy the owner manual pst e-425.
Do you have a review on using AI tools to make midi files?
just need to find one!!!
is it also CFX sound? I do find it warm and rich... so I think it is... as opposed to EZ-300, I think that one is not
Make a video of casio ctx 5000 vs psr e473
I need 76 keys does this sound as good as my sx600 I'm a casual user plz Jeremy ❤
ezt a sok hangszert hol tárolod?
You get a lot for the money and the only downside to this model is not enough polyphony. I wish that the dgx-670 had a 61 or 73 key version. I ended up purchasing the P-121 portable digital piano, but even though I do like it, I wish that there were more than 10 tones etc.
You can always add tones by plugging your P121 into a computer and using MIDI virtual instruments.
I just bought it only because of your video :)
Hope you enjoy it!
@@JeremySee It will arrive today. Thanks I will :)
Hey,how's your experience with the keyboard so far? I plan on getting one but I'm not sure
