Hi
I have read the PDF keyboard guide but I am not familiar with many of the terms used in the book. I am sorry, I have no knowledge of terms being used in the music industry. I want to play new age type of music because I love musician like kitaro,Phil Thornton etc. I just want to get started learning keyboard. I have a budget around 15000-25000 INDIAN Rupees. Please suggest me any good keyboard. I have checked these three PSR-E423, PSR e333, PSR I 425 keyboards so far and a bit confused which one should I buy. Please help me buying a good keyboard.

Thank you very much.

A keyboard player that I work with often recently purchased the Yamaha PSR-E423. The manual shows Indian drum styles. Not all keyboards have Indian drum styles. Is there a particular term that you do not understand?

Thanks for replying
I am here referring to the PDF guide available here https://www.keyboardforums.com/threads/the-which-keyboard-should-i-get-overview-read-first.21974/ . By terms I am referring to the terms mentioned in this book like
"the entry level Yamaha PSR series) have only 2 style variations, 1 intro and 1 outro variations"
You can't use multiple sounds at once apart from 2 sounds layering and splitting
sampling.

I am sorry, I know nothing about music.
Thank you.

Don't worry - those things are about technology than music.

In Yamaha language, "style" = "backing drums, base and instruments" (accompaniment to what you play)
2 variations (while playing), 1 intro (for beginning of playing) and 1 ending is normal for most keyboards in this price range.

Layering is where you play one key, but sounds from 2 instrument come out (eg piano + violin)
Splitting is where the upper half of the keyboard has different sound to lower half.

I think these make much more sense once you have played around on it.

I would go the 423 than 333 as it has more different instruments and accompaniment patterns.
No idea about the 425 - I assume it is a local special.

I did a bit more research

http://asia.yamaha.com/en/products/...digitalkeyboards/portable_keyboards/psr-i425/

The i425 is specially built with more indian instruments and backing music than the "normal" ones.

If you feel you would use more indian flavour, go the 425.

No, I will not use Indian flavor much. I think PSR E-423 will be well suited for me to get started. I mostly want to play new age type of music.The music video like below.

I have the PSR-E423 and for the money I find it to be a great keyboard and the new E433 looks even better.

For someone learning you can't go wrong with this keyboard.
