Worth Every Dollar

I can't add much beyond the other reviews other to say I agree. This is my first keyboard and I cannot believe how much I got for a product slightly over 200 bucks. It has a boatload of features and it sounds wonderful. I would have gladly paid a few more dollars to have had the AC power supply included but all and all I would by this unit again - no regrets.

A LOT of Music for a Small Price!

Yamaha PSR-E413 61-Key Digital Keyboard

When I acquired this keyboard I was expecting only fair sound quality, and a dearth of features, especially compared to my PRS-9000Pro. What I got, though, was an amazing sound, and a plethora of great features that make this fun to play, and delightful to hear.

Instead of the inferior sound quality I was expecting, when I first sat down to play I was happily surprised that the richness and depth of each note was even better than my 9000Pro could produce. And now, after several months, I'm still learning all of the functionality. One thing is for sure: I thought I was getting a keyboard as a poor replacement for my 9000Pro; what I got was a keyboard that is equal in many ways but most importantly, in the professional sounds that it can produce.

I am not a beginning keyboard player, but this keyboard is more than adequate for all of my simple gigging needs (I take it to church every Sunday to play the music for the services), is light-weight, and has impressed sounds, and sound quality, that make it sound like it should have been a lot more expensive.

For the price, Yamaha has produced an amazing-sounding instrument with more features than I may ever even use. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, or recommend this keyboard to any beginning or even mid-level player.

Having fun but...

It does not come with an AC adapter.I know that's probably been mentioned every time but nevertheless it has to be mentioned. I'm just learning so I can't tell you anything except it has a warm sound. I wanted something a little more than a toy and it fits in my little office area. I can't stand the manual and I usually read them this one I avoid. I have no previous music experience so that might be why. I got myself "How to play Keyboards" by Roger Evans which is just over 100 pages so not too intimidating and now I know how to read a little music too. I know you can hook it to the computer via usb but I just wanted to record quick samples of my progress. I don't know how this thing is wired but I had to hook it to the line in on my stereo then send it back out of the earphone jack (not line out) to the computer to lose the hum and record with success. It might have something to do with grounding but at least for me its solved.

Things to consider when or if purchasing

- AC adapter
- 1/4" adapter if you are using portable headphones.
- keyboard stand
- separate instruction book
- keyboard cover

Nice keyboard but...

Been using a Yamaha keyboard for many years and treated myself to this new one. I am not a professional musician. I play for my own amusement. I gave the keyboard 3 stars because the sounds are really good and it makes some attempt to teach. Need a magnifying glass at my age to see the LCD display :-)

Two things that are lacking compared to my older keyboard:

1) The intro/ending key is one event. So you can only use the intro as an intro. After you start playing, if you hit the intro key it obviously invokes the ending and the song stops. On my older keyboard the functions were split so if you pressed the Intro during song play, it created a nice frill and break to lead into something else.

2) The auto fill is also now one key with the style variations from A/B. This means while playing a style or song, when you hit the auto fill it moves the style variation from A to B or vice versa and you get the drum roll. Nothing wrong with that, but it would be much nicer to have a separate FILL key if one wants to stay within a variation and just have a fill without switching. Hope I explained it properly. To me this is a huge disappointment. I read the entire manual and could not find a solution

I guess this is one of the problems buying an item like this online. My local music store did not have model for me to preview. I have always liked Yamaha and figured it would be great based on my older PSR510

love it

This is a great keyboard. I am using it with my recording software on my computer and I am making music. All the styles on this keyboard can be recorded as midi beats on my computer which make the possibilities endless. The voices on this keyboard have excellent sound quality. This is a professional piece of equipment. I am very pleased with my purchase. Great service amazon.com.
