The Yamaha PSR-E283 Portable Keyboard is a learning-centric instrument packed with tools and features tailored for beginners and music educators alike. Whether you're teaching, training, or just starting your musical journey, this portable keyboard delivers unmatched value with its expansive sound palette, intuitive controls, and engaging learning modes.
Boasting 410 instrument voices and 18 drum/SFX kits, it brings your playing to life with realistic tones spanning piano, strings, guitar, and more. Accompaniment styles (150 total) and Smart Chord allow you to produce full backing bands or chords with a single finger — perfect for solo performances or songwriting jams.
Learning is made fun and effective through Quiz Mode, which challenges your ear training, while the Yamaha Education Suite includes lessons like Listen & Learn, Timing, and Waiting to build skills at your pace. The user-friendly Duo Mode lets two players share the keyboard, each playing the same middle C octave — ideal for student-teacher or parent-child sessions.
Compact yet powerful, the PSR-E283 features a 32-note polyphony engine, rich effects (reverb, chorus, master EQ), and a one-track song recorder to capture your creativity. It’s lightweight (just 8 lbs) and runs on batteries or the included PA-130 adapter, so you can practice anywhere.
