The arranger that survives the first year · review
Yamaha PSR-F52 review
The simplest instrument in this group: 61 full-size keys, 144 sounds and 158 accompaniment styles, at a price where the alternative is usually a toy with 32 small keys.
What it amounts to The honest floor: full-size keys from a maker that supports them, with a specification sheet that stays short.
At this price the market is full of 32-key instruments with speakers the size of a coin. The PSR-F52 is a full-size 61-key keyboard from Yamaha, and that alone puts it in a different category.
The specification is deliberately short: 144 sounds, 158 accompaniment styles, 61 keys. That is what a first year needs, and the absence of a screenful of features is not a flaw at this level.
One thing the listing does not state is touch sensitivity, and this page does not assume it. If dynamics matter — if you want the sound to get louder when you play harder — the PSR-E383 states that capability explicitly and costs appreciably more.
Note the price spread before ordering: at the time of writing, the UK store was at roughly double the German price for the same reference.

The questions players ask
Are the keys touch-sensitive?
Yamaha does not state it in this listing, and we do not fill the gap in. If expressive dynamics matter to you, the PSR-E383 states touch sensitivity explicitly and is the safer choice.
Full-size keys — does it matter at this level?
Yes, more than the sound count. Full-size keys teach the hand the distances it will need on any other keyboard or piano; mini keys teach distances that have to be unlearned.
Our score
7.2/ 10
The honest floor: full-size keys from a maker that supports them, with a specification sheet that stays short.

A first keyboard for a child, or a second one to leave at a grandparent’s house.
Our music instruments and gear guides that pick it
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for musical instruments and gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
The 76-key version of the same idea, with a bigger speaker system: 2 × 6.5 W instead of 2 × 2.5 W. Still no accompaniment styles, still 61 sounds, and 80 cm (31.5 in) longer in the room.
Best for: A player who has run out of keys on a 61 but does not want an 88-key weighted piano.
61 touch-sensitive keys · 61 sounds · no auto-accompaniment
A keyboard built like a piano rather than like an arranger: 61 touch-sensitive keys, 61 sounds, and deliberately no accompaniment styles. Music rest and power adapter are included; the pedal is not.
Best for: Someone who wants piano sounds and 61 keys without an arranger’s menus.
61 keys · microphone output and a built-in microphone · 100 tones · 4 AA batteries
The least expensive keyboard on this shelf by a wide margin, and the only one that records a voice — a microphone output and a built-in microphone — with 100 tones, eight percussion panels and battery operation.
Best for: A child learning at a desk, where a microphone and a set of batteries matter more than a published key size.
