Yamaha PSR-E283 Keyboard

General

Start young and gain skills for life, especially when you start with an instrument like the Yamaha PSR-E283 keyboard. For a small investment, you gain masses of options, teaching programmes and pure playing pleasure. Rather than kitting out young, budding musicians with a set of smaller keys, this model comes with a set of standard-sized keys to help train your fingers - meaning that this keyboard is anything but a toy.

The Yamaha PSR-E283 Keyboard

More than 40 different sounds come pre-loaded in, opening up a colossal range of options, whether you're playing with piano sounds, strings, a brass section, or guitars - the list goes on. This keyboard also comes with some sound-enhancing features, like 32-voice polyphony, which is more than enough to support everything from pop songs to classical pieces. Next to all of that, you get a bank of 150 rhythms and accompaniments that span a range of different styles as well as 122 onboard demo songs. Another brilliant bonus is the built-in exercises, where this keyboard quizzes you on your playing knowledge, helping new musicians get to grips with the basics, and more experienced pianists to improve their skills.

Fast & Easy

This keyboard also offers a set of fast and easy controls, granting direct access to a host of features without having to endlessly scroll through complex menus. A set of speakers has also been integrated into the design, but for more private playing, you can just as easily plug in a pair of headphones while an external audio player can be hooked up to the AUX mini-jack port so you can play along with your favourite songs. To finish, the Yamaha PSR-E283 keyboard also comes including a music rest.
