Introducing the Yamaha PSR-E473 portable keyboard

The touch-sensitive keyboard and powerful sound engine of the PSR-E473 bring together superb sound and great feel in an all-new portable instrument.

The PSR-E473 also delivers the pro-quality sound inspired by high-end models. It's loaded with augmented effects and a wide range of styles – from the latest hits to genres from around the world.

Enjoy 820 realistic, expressive instrument sounds from here and around the world with pro-level sound quality. The PSR-E473 is equipped with Super Articulation Lite, a function that realistically simulates the distinct ways each instrument is played – for example, the scratch sound of a distorted electric guitar or the harmonics of a nylon-string guitar.

Additional features
