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!

@freddyfazbear7758 4 years ago

do i already have a keyboard: yes
did i still watch this: yes

@adelin.simion 4 years ago

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.

@SolidSmud 3 years ago

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 👍

@IsisofDurnham 4 years ago

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

@piinkdollable 3 years ago

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.

@bajanconji6553 4 years ago

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!

@jfan4reva 4 years ago

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.

@alpvolkan363 4 years ago

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

@frothysmarket 2 years ago

he gained a subscriber as soon as he didnt push the course and didnt mention hoe many subscribers/students he has. i can tell he truly loves music and teaching it. thank you for making this, i am currently shopping for an arranger

@jimmyhopkins9497 4 years ago

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!

@tiffanydouglas2686 4 years ago

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

@laurengraham9325 3 years ago

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!

@daveford5477 3 years ago

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.

@helsphoenix2623 4 years ago

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!

@richardhines77 3 years ago

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

@pojie1084 4 years ago (edited)

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

@strayiggytv 4 years ago

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.

@iplayzthegamez 4 years ago

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.
