A Better First Keyboard. Expressive Touch. Lessons That Grow with You.
The Yamaha PSR-E383 is a 61-key touch-sensitive portable keyboard designed to help beginners learn expressively and keep progressing. Its 650-Voice library spans pianos, organs, guitars, orchestral sounds and instruments from around the world, while 260 accompaniment Styles turn simple chords into full arrangements.
Keys to Success, three-step lessons, Rhythm & Touch Tutor and 125 built-in Songs make practice more structured and engaging. Duo mode supports side-by-side teaching, while two-track recording and USB audio/MIDI connectivity help students listen back, share ideas and work with compatible learning or music software.
Key Features
Touch-sensitive keys develop musical expression
The organ-style 61-key keyboard responds to playing strength, helping beginners learn dynamic control from the start. Soft, Medium, Hard and Off settings let the response match the player's preference and stage of development.
650 Voices with Super Articulation Lite
Explore 650 instrument sounds powered by AWM Stereo Sampling, including 12 Super Articulation Lite Voices that reproduce distinctive techniques such as guitar-string noise or a wind player's breath through the articulation function.
260 Styles and Auto Chord Play make songs feel complete
Automatic accompaniment follows the chords played with your left hand, adding suitable drums, bass and harmony. Smart Chord simplifies chord control, while Auto Chord Play offers 50 useful chord progressions for practice and performance.
Built-in lessons, 125 Songs and Duo mode
Keys to Success breaks music into manageable steps, while Listening, Timing and Waiting lessons build accuracy. A-B Repeat isolates difficult phrases, Rhythm & Touch Tutor improves coordination, and Duo mode divides the keyboard into matching ranges for teacher and student.
Two-track recording and USB audio/MIDI
Record up to five Songs using two tracks and approximately 10,000 notes of capacity. USB to Host connects the keyboard to compatible computers and smart devices for MIDI communication and 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo audio.
Lightweight, battery-powered and easy to place anywhere
At 4.4 kg without batteries, the PSR-E383 is easy to move between lessons and practice spaces. Use a PA-130-series adaptor or six AA batteries, listen through the built-in 2.5 W + 2.5 W speakers, or connect headphones for private practice.
