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
