The PSR-520"s large backlit LCD panel is a multi function type that provides simultaneous access to a number of important parameters.Yamaha"s AWM tone generation system lies at the heart of the PSR-520 outstanding sound. The same tone generation system used in Yamaha"s professional line of keyboards means that every one of the PSR-520 141 voices is of oustanding quality. Truly expressive voices ranging from acoustic piano to exotic ethnic sounds, the perfect voice is easily accessible.12 reverb effects, 9 chorus effects and 45 DSP effects to give your sound an extra measure of character and intensity. Distortion, Equalizer, Reverb and Chorus are but a few of possible applications from the wide range of effects possible using DSP effects. Each of the 45 DSP effects also has its own variation for even greater variety.100 exciting accompaniment styles that can be used to provide rhythm backing or full-orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment. In the Normal Mode, the Auto Accompaniment will produce an accompaniment that is perfectly matched to the selected style. In the Full mode the PSR-520 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where you play on the keyboard.
This means you can take advantage of the auto accompaniment feature without having to adjust your playing technique.Yamaha"s One Touch Setting feature automatically selects appropriate voices and other settings to perfectly match the selected accompaniment styles. Each of the 100 accompaniment styles contain 4 variations for a total of 400 settings giving you more matched options to the style you want to work with.With the cartridge slot feature and optional Yamaha Music Cartridges you can enjoy listening to automated performances of a wide range of classical and popular pieces, or use it as your "private music tutor", allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the other are played automatically.Song Tracks allow you to record and playback complete songs including chord sequences that you create using the Auto Accompaniment feature and a melody line you play on the keyboard.

The general Midi level 1 Standard allows for easy use in sophisticated Midi music systems.

The PSR520 has built in high-fidelity internal amplifier and stereo speaker systems that give your music remarkable sound quality without the need of external sound equipment.The 25 Demo Songs will give you a good idea as to what can be accomplished with the PSR520. But they are not for your listening enjoyment alone.

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.
In the music world, Yamaha is one of the heavy hitters. If you were in band at school or have ever seen a live performance, chances are you have looked at a huge amount of Yamaha instruments.
While we’ll be talking about the best Yamaha digital pianos out there, the company also makes an almost countless number of other products – strings, marching instruments, grand pianos, guitars and basses just to name a few.
You have most likely felt this exact same connection when you went to see your favorite band live at a concert. The feeling is hard to articulate, but unequivocally present. Yamaha aims to share this primal feeling with as many people as possible.
From 1900 on, Yamaha began creating acoustic pianos—initially focusing on uprights. This gives them well over a century’s worth of experience crafting pianos.
The first digital piano Yamaha released was the YP-40 in 1983 which will look, feel, and sound much different than the pristine Yamaha digital pianos that you will find on the market today.
Yamaha is, by a good margin, the largest maker of audio gear and musical instruments—rising far above companies like Gibson, Sennheiser, Shure, and Fender.
If you didn’t realize it was a tuning fork, don’t feel bad. I played on a Yamaha trumpet and stared at the logo on my case for 5 years before I knew what it was.
This series includes an onboard lesson function to teach the student music as an educational tool. The flagship model (Yamaha PSR-EW410) has the ability to capture external sounds using a sampler.
In recent years, Yamaha’s YPT series that we previously mentioned have been almost identical to the PSR-E models (e.g. YPT-270 & PSR-E273; YPT-370 & PSR-E373), the only difference being the body finish and availability (the YPT and PSR-E series target different geographic areas).
If you are looking to get a Yamaha digital piano, this is where you will start. The P-45 is Yamaha’s most affordable digital piano with fully weighted keys.
The AvantGrant Series gives you access to Spatial Acoustic Sampling, which offers the sound of theYamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos captured from four different mic positions and delivered via multi-speaker sound system to ensure the immersive playing experience.
While the CP Series isn’t updated frequently, Yamaha takes huge pride in the series, stating that “The CP4 is simply the best stage piano Yamaha has ever made.”
Yamaha recently introduced the CP73 and CP88 giving a lot of new features to an old lineup – NW-GH with synthetic ebony and ivory key tops, brand new sounds, and additional ports/jacks, to name a few.
An interesting feature of this series is that they are platform-focused meaning that Yamaha frequently sends out updates to improve the devices over time.
The flagship arranger workstation in Yamah’s arsenal. The samples on the Genos are far and above in terms of quality—giving you access to the Yamaha CFX and C7 Grand pianos, for example.
The PSR Series excels in a specific area—reproducing the subtle nuances and quirks of instruments. This includes vibrato, brass falls, guitar and bass slides, and much more.
In order to control all of these different elements, the PSR series includes assignable live controllers, a modulation wheel, and assignable foot pedals.
Yamaha puts the sounds on their digital pianos in multiple ways. With digital pianos, there is typically one goal in mind: create the most accurate representation of a piano possible.
The latest iteration of Pure CF Sound Sampling, found in the Yamaha P-125, utilizes sympathetic string and key-off resonance to more accurately capture the sound of an authentic grand piano.
The Yamaha CFX tone is also coupled with Binaural Sampling to create three-dimensional sound so that when you are playing with headphones on, it acts as if the sound is coming from the piano rather than your headphones.
Every other sound engine I have mentioned so far has had the goal to create an authentic sounding piano. That’s not the case for the AWM2 and FM-X. You won’t find them in a digital piano, but in Yamaha’s music workstations and synthesizers.
Aside from these sampling and sound engines, there are other technologies that Yamaha uses to improve the sound of their products. I’d like to cover some of those here.
The trouble for companies like Yamaha is that not all grand pianos feel the same way when you play them, making it difficult to determine exactly what it should feel like.
The lower keys will have more resistance than the higher keys, similar to an acoustic piano. Yamaha digital pianos under$1500 will most likely have this type of action.
Note: Don’t confuse the new GrandTouch-S (‘S‘ stands for ‘Small’) with Yamaha’s flagship GrandTouch key action used in the more expensive Clavinova models.

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.
