Status, November 2026: current. Yamaha still lists the PSR-E383 among its portable keyboards.
What it is
The PSR-E383 is Yamaha's 61-key portable keyboard for beginners and the successor to the PSR-E373, per Bonedo. Its organ-style keys are touch-sensitive, with Soft, Medium and Hard curves or Off, and it has 650 voices, 260 backing styles, 125 songs and 48-note polyphony (Yamaha specs). The lessons include Keys to Success and a three-step mode (Listening, Timing, Waiting). Two 12 cm speakers run at 2.5 W each. On the back are a USB to Host port that carries MIDI and audio to a computer or tablet, a sustain pedal jack, a 1/4-inch headphone and output jack and a 3.5 mm aux in. It runs on the PA-130 adaptor or six AA batteries, is 941 mm wide and weighs 4.4 kg. The box holds a music rest and an AC adaptor, which the owner's manual says may be left out in some regions; a sustain pedal and a USB cable are extra.
Piano Dreamers calls the unweighted keys firm and springy, one of the better keybeds at the price, while Piano Tone notes they are light and feel nothing like a piano. Amazona finds the small speakers can't carry the bass. Of 78 owner reviews read at Thomann and Guitar Center, ten found the multi-function buttons and menus take time to learn, and three found the display's backlight too bright, two of them noting it can't be dimmed.
