Since YAMAHA PSR520 is now outdated, it is very difficult to get brand new display. You can get a display in good working condition removed from non working keyboard and I am sure it will be available in Mumbai. The cost may be around Rs.5000/- to Rs.8000/- including fitting charges. I am waiting for the same. If I get it I will let you know.

I have a PSR520 keyboard. But it"s display is not working. Without display I can"t do and read the settings whatever I done. So please reply me, from where I can buy and how much it costs?

The LCD display of my PSR-520 has died ~10 years ago. Since that time I repeatedly tried to get a new one. However, all my attempts failed. This is a good example of the niggard policy of Yamaha with respects to its customers. I"ll never recommend my frends to buy Yamaha"s keyboards.

I am also having the same problem with Yamaha 730 and I called the agents and they said that they can replace the part. But the crooks did not mention the price. this is the web site and you can get the telephone numbers.

Maybe there is a place in one of the menus to change the LCD Contrast. I have a PSR-2000 and a PSR-S700, both have a contrast setting. If too light, you can"t see anything except a plain screen. Hope this helps.

We"re actually not waiting for a "repair" but instead a "replacement," apparently. Yamaha is waiting for a fresh batch of keyboards to be made and reach the US, so they can send us one...

My main problem when doing research before buying was that I couldn"t see either the Casio keyboard nor the Korg keyboard anywhere in person. Most local keyboard shops sell Yamaha.

It’s fair to say that Yamaha knows a thing or two about keyboards. The Japanese company has been manufacturing them since the 1880s, and was responsible for making 54 percent of the portable keyboards sold around the world in 2019. But what are the best Yamaha keyboards you can buy today, and what makes them so special?

The sheer number of Yamaha keyboards can be overwhelming for those thinking of making a purchase, so we’ve narrowed our focus down to the company’s beginner-friendly arranger keyboards (to find out what’s meant by an arranger keyboard, click on the buying advice tab above). This rules out professional stage keyboards like the new CP88, digital pianos such as the P-125, Yamaha’s well-established range of synthesizers, including the MODX and the Motif, synth workstations like the Montage range, and also the wallet-busting Genos arranger keyboard.Our pick of the best keyboard stands for home and stage use

Choosing a favourite from such a broad range of beginner keyboards was always going to be a challenge, but in the end we plumped for the Yamaha PSR-E373(opens in new tab), as it sits firmly in the sweet spot for breadth of features, quality of sound and value for money. It really is an excellent instrument and should give you years of learning, composing and playing pleasure. There are too many great features to list here, but we were especially sold on the keyboard’s built-in audio/MIDI interface and 38 digital signal processors.

A special mention goes to the Piaggero NP-12(opens in new tab) for delivering that satisfying Yamaha digital piano tone in such a classy portable package. It also reintroduced this writer’s 90-year-old mum to the joys of playing piano during the last lockdown!

A significant upgrade on its predecessor the PSR-E363, the PSR-E373 offers features and sounds that you won’t even find on some of Yamaha’s most expensive keyboards. Among the impressive selection of 622 voices, there are 11 new Super Articulation Lite presets that faithfully reproduce the tricky-to-mimic nuances of stringed instruments such as the cello and the mandolin.

The PSR-E373 also comes with 205 accompaniment styles, plus a class-leading selection of 38 digital signal processor effects. Sounds can also be layered and/or split across the keyboard with a single button press. Yamaha’s onboard lesson system, Rec’n’Share mobile app compatibility and a useful built-in USB audio/MIDI interface round things off nicely.

Pushing the portability envelope somewhat at a hefty 8.1kg, the PSR-SX600 is the lowest-priced model in Yamaha’s SX range of pro-level keyboards. Blurring the lines between a portable arranger and a proper workstation keyboard, it packs in a lot of high-end features, justifying its status as the most expensive instrument on our list. Real-time control over a range of user-assignable settings, an informative 4.3” TFT colour LCD screen, two powerful 15W speakers and 128-note polyphony are just a few of the highlights here.

Known as the YPT-270 in some markets, the PSR-E273 is the entry-level product in Yamaha’s E-series of arranger keyboards. Its more-affordable price tag is reflected in the lack of some of the more sophisticated features found on the PSR-E373, such as velocity-sensitive keys, MIDI capability, LCD backlighting, and the ability to split and layer sounds across the keyboard.

You still get a lot for your money, though, including 61 full-size keys, 401 sounds from Yamaha’s renowned AWM sample library, and 143 styles to play along with. With 112 songs, Yamaha’s built-in lesson feature will help you to polish your playing skills, and there’s even an entertaining ‘guess the note’ quiz mode.

Yamaha"s range-topping E-series keyboard builds on the PSR-E373’s fabulous feature set with extras like an upgraded LCD screen, a 32-slot patch memory, a proper pitch-bend wheel, a 3.5mm auxiliary audio input and a quick-sampling mode.

Looking for a keyboard that’ll help your kids learn to play? The Yamaha PSS-F30 is designed with children in mind, boasting a number of fun, educational features, not to mention a tiny form factor.

Available in two wood-effect finishes – dark walnut or maple – the PSR-E360 is one of Yamaha’s more-stylish keyboards (you can also get a plain black version). But there’s a lot of substance behind that smart exterior, with 384 voices, 130 auto-accompaniment styles and a 112-track Song Book on board.

Something a little different, the PSS-A50 does not come with a standard auto-accompaniment feature. Instead, it has a phrase recorder, an arpeggiator and what Yamaha calls ‘motion effects’ – pitch, filter and modulation features that can be called up instantly by pressing a button.

Yamaha’s piano-making pedigree is second to none, and this portable piano-style keyboard is a brilliant solution for kids to learn on, or for more mature pianists who don’t have room for a full-size piano.

One of four retro-themed mini keyboards in the Reface range – the others being an FM synthesiser (the Reface DX), an organ (the Reface YC) and an analogue synthesizer (the Reface CS) – the Reface CP is a tiny, modern tribute to Yamaha’s 1970s electric pianos.

Featuring a unique, silvery-white aesthetic, this keyboard shares a lot of the same features as our top-ranking keyboard the PSR-E373 – it offers the same number of voices and styles, the same recording ability and the same Keys to Success tuition function. Some might even argue that it’s a better package, as it gives you 202 songs instead of the PSR-E373’s 154.

For us, the PSR-E373 gets the nod because it’s cheaper, and not everyone will like the EZ-300’s white colouring – but, make no mistake, this is a very good option for budding musicians.Today"s best Yamaha keyboard deals

Super Articulation is Yamaha’s term for a sampled sound that emulates the behaviour of a real instrument by including certain nuances you’d expect to hear. These might include string squeaks on an acoustic guitar voice, or the sound of a saxophone player taking a breath between notes. Previously the preserve of Yamaha’s higher-end keyboards, the technology has now started to trickle down into some of the less-expensive models.

While the PSR-E363 got our recommendation as the best budget arranger keyboard, we haven’t reviewed it. This will be its chance to see how it stacks up.

The Yamaha PSR-E363 is nearly identical to thePSR-EW300. The only difference between the two is the number of keys. The PSR-E363 has 61 keys, but the PSR-EW300 has 76 keys.

The standard arranger keyboard layout is followed here, and if it isn’t broke, why fix it. The backlit monochromeLCD screen sits at the center of the keyboard, flanked by buttons on both sides.

The buttons feel rubbery and lack “clicky-ness”. I often praise this quality when discussing more premium digital pianos such as Yamaha’s own higher-end YDP-series.

Just like many portable keyboards, the PSR-E363/EW-300 has acompartment for batteries, which means you can easily take your keyboard outside and play on a nice sunny day.

There really isn’t much else to discuss regarding the design. The PSR-E363 follows the standard arranger keyboard formula and does so well enough. While I’d never go as far as to call this a ‘premium’ instrument, it is well thought out for what it costs.

The keys on the PSR-E363 feel mushy. When you habitually play into the keys (as more experienced piano players tend to do), you get an abrupt contact point which plays the corresponding sample.

The first two are possible due to the full sized keys on the PSR-E363 (though the EW300 has the edge because of its larger keyboard). The latter is the difficult one, due to the previously mentioned abruptness.

I wouldn’t call these keys bad. While there are better options out there, the keys are good enough for beginners to adapt to. This is further helped by the next aspect of the PSR-E363 we’ll be covering.

As an arranger keyboard, the PSR-E363 sounds good, counteracting some of my gripes about the keys. 574 sounds are nothing to scoff at and there’s minimal filler.

Yamaha’s Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) stereo sampling engine is a long in the tooth (it’s been in use since 2009), but it does a decent job at playing back clean voices.

Reverb effects allow you to simulate sounds being played in a specific space, such as a room or hall. While playtesting the PSR-E363, I tend to leave this on default settings per sound, but you can use it to further enlarge ‘epic’ sounds like string ensembles.

The Yamaha PSR-E363 has 48 notes of maximum polyphony. This is a low amount and is even more drastic when you consider the accompaniment features included with this keyboard.

The Yamaha PSR-E363 comes withstereo 2.5W speakers. These are fine for home-based practice, though they’re a little muddy when it comes to bass frequencies.

The muddiness factor isn’t huge. This is a practice keyboard, and it seems like Yamaha tuned the speakers to avoid distorting too much for piano sounds.

All in all, the speakers are passable, and they work well for practice purposes. As a beginner’s instrument, clarity is the biggest requirement, and the PSR-E363 gives that.

By pressing play, an intro drumbeat plays, and you begin playing along. Buttons to the lower left of the LCD screen let you trigger fills and variations to make the performance feel organic.

If you’re interested in the Trinity Guildhall Keyboard course, remember that the PSR-E363 lacks a few of the more complex left-hand tracking modes, which prevents you from completing the Grade 5 syllabus.

There are a few connectivity options included with the PSR-E363. Most of them come as a standard on beginner digital pianos, but there are some bonuses, too.

A headphonejack lets you practice without disturbing people around you. Also, since the PSR-E363 lacks stereo TRS output, these are the way you’d connect to amplifiers.

A sustain pedal jack is included, and this is where you’d connect your sustain pedal. Sadly, Yamaha doesn’t include a sustain pedal with each purchase, though your local store/online retailer might throw one in as a bonus.

If you’re purchasing the PSR-E363 / PSR-EW300 direct from Yamaha or from a retailer like Amazon, you might not get a sustain pedal. This is a must to practice piano or keyboard parts, so it’s worth investing in one.

It is universal, which is important for some of Yamaha’s keyboard instruments, as these tend to be in inversed polarity compared to other manufacturers.

Yamaha recommends their L-3C stand, but it’s more expensive than I prefer. Considering that the PSR-E363 is an affordable keyboard, you shouldn’t spend too much.

The Yamaha PSR-E363 is a solid choice for beginners, and while there are a few weak spots, it’s still one of the better options out there. The sounds are good, and the accompaniment features are fun and in-depth, too.

The PSR-E363’s younger brother, the PSR-E263, might be on your list. It seems to do most of what the PSR-E363 does but at almost half the price. It seems like an amazing deal, but there’s a catch.

The problem here is a lack of pressure sensitivity. The PSR-E263 sounds the same no matter how hard you press the keys, making it a weaker option for learning purposes.

This Tuesday I opened the DGX620 and checked the display. I saw no way to open it easily but when lifting a side tape I came across two (only two) backlight leds. There it was easy!

I had some similar issues with my DGX-620 that showed to be due to pressure of the flat cables contacts. This was solved using a small piece of cellulose acetate cut from a 35mm negative and inserted in between the display flat cable end the connector.

Now my problem is the backlight that stopped working. Is there a way to disassemble the display to access the back light and fix it or I need to buy a new complete display?

Hi TqW (?), thanks for the feedback. I had problems about 10 years ago with the flat cables, but not this time. I checked the 5V source direct in the backlight terminals and it was fine. If there is a way to open the display and remove the backlith fixing it will be easy.

Awesome instructions. After taking out all the screws and the board, I didn"t think it was going to work because the connections on the LCD board looked perfect. But I followed the instructions exactly anyway. I have zero experience with repairing electronics but the instructions were so good that I fixed it on the first try. I especially appreciated the detail of setting the screwdriver torque to 1 so as not to strip the casing when putting it all back together. Thanks!

Yes, you can catch the offer, the overall quality and durability are ok, as it made by YAMAHA, sound quality is decent if the internal speaker still original, or you can just connect to an externally powered speaker system. one thing I feel the keys are little noisy compared to a Casio, the strike sound, maybe the shock absorber is getting old.... Mine one is about 7 years stationary use. Hope this help.1

Thanks for the advice on the anisotropic conductive film cable. My DGX620 LCD was down to half screen and I wanted to avoid the cost of replacement, when it was clearly only a connection issue.
