Yamaha PSR-E253

Portable keyboard with 61 keys from PSR series that makes an ideal first keyboard for aspiring musicians who are just starting out. It comes with a collection of 385 different instrument Voices, including pianos, flutes, and guitars. The grand piano Voices, in particular, utilize stereo-sampled sounds with a superb feeling of presence. Players can enjoy reverb effects for the feeling of playing in a concert hall, and choruses that add extra breadth and resonance to the sound. The lesson function (Yamaha Education Suite) offers a total of nine stages – three for the left hand, three for the right and three for both hands – that help beginners practice the songs stored in the instrument. There is also a scoring function that makes it fun to practice and improve and a "Waiting" function that adjusts the tempo to the person playing, pausing the accompaniment until the correct note is played. Other features include Accompaniment Styles that add a "backing band" to the performances while user remains in complete control of chord changes and arrangements. The keyboard is equipped with a preset Master EQ that allows user to adjust the nuances of the keyboard sound with settings such as Bright and Boost. It provides an aux in jack for connection of external audio source, an LCD screen, a metronome and a built-in tuner. Weighing in at less than 4 kg, the keyboard is light enough to take anywhere with ease. It can even run on batteries for live performances. Dimensions: 940 x 106 x 317 mm.
