Yamaha PSR S500/Roland GW7/Roland EXR 5

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a keyboard in the UK for under £400 off the net.

I'm a "grade 8" standard pianist, looking for a keyboard thats great for playing some 'rock' type music or classical pieces - as well as to compose to a decent standard.

I'm a University student so I don't want to have to carry around an an amp - does the GW7 have speakers? I need to have something thats "fairly" portable.

I was looking at the
- Roland GW7 (~£330)
- Yamaha PSR S500 (~£360)
- Roland EXR 5 (~£320)

I would be adding pedals and such, and am interested in the depth of sound.

I used a Roland a few years back in a Rock School type thing and loved the sound quality.

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.
Danny

Hi,
None of above model do i like.
I suggest PSR-S700.

Hi Danny
The only way to be sure it will suit is to go along to a dealer and try them.
Also don’t forget to have a look at the Casio range.
The S700 mentioned is an excellent board, but it is way above your price range.
Finally have a look at pre-owned models, as you may get a better deal. (Most dealers have pre-owned boards in stock)
Hope this helps

Danny,
Buy Zuki's Roland E600. Perfect for what you mentioned !
