Updated Mar 3, 2026

Indian style

Made in India keyboards with built in India sounds and Riyaz features as well

  • Yamaha PSR-I300 - ₹16,990-₹18,500
  • Yamaha PSR-I500 - ₹22,000-₹25,990

Differences

I500 is heavier (6.6kg vs 4.6kg) and has slightly more sounds than I300

I500 has audio recorder to WAV format feature

I500 has bigger speakers as well

I300 is relatively newer

Conclusion

I300 will be a better buy, mainly because it is value for money, lighter and the weakness as compared to I500 are not that significant

Yamaha PSR series

  • Yamaha PSR-E383 - ₹15,900 – ₹17,990
  • Yamaha PSR-E473 - ₹21,000 – ₹25,990

Differences

PSR-E383 is lighter (4.4kg vs 7kg)

PSR-E473 has slightly bigger speaker

PSR-E473 has pitch bend wheel

PSR-E473 supports mic input as well

Conclusion

PSR-E473 has promising features but it all depends on the budget. It being a bit heavier might be something one should keep in mind

Keyboard with lights

  • Yamaha EZ-310 - ₹24,990

It has a lighted key system that will help in learning

Weight is 4.6kg

Conclusion

Lighted system is not that much necessary as per my personal opinion, but it’s all upto the student’s preference. Other than this it doesn’t have any other noteworthy features

Final conclusion

If Indian instruments are needed, then I would suggest I300, otherwise go for either PSR-E383, or PSR-E473 or EZ-310
