Please Note All The PSR E263 Listings Include A Power Supply Yamaha PSR-E263 Portable Keyboard XX Frame and Headphones Package With 61 Full-Sized keys this is the ideal keyboard for those aspiring musicians who are just starting out. There are 385 excellent sounds ranging from Pianos, Guitars, strings and synths, not to mention the many drum sounds. There is a 9-step lesson facility to help to teach you to play which uses yamaha's highly acclaimed 'Y.E.S' (Yamaha Education Suite). The keyboard is incredibly compact and portable but still gives a good quality of output from its built-in stereo speaker system. The new Duo Mode is great for duet playing by splitting the keyboard so that there are 2 middle 'C' keys, ideal if you have a teacher guiding you through a phrase. There is now an audio 'Aux In' socket which allows you to plug in your audio device and use the speakers to either listen to the music, or better still you can play along with it on the keyboard! With 100 accompaniment style covering almost every genre of music you really are spoilt for choice - modern and traditional dance music is catered for, as is everything in between including latin, country and many others. You can even play single finger if you're just starting off, or play traditional chords and the keyboard will automatically detect it. The power adapter is included and the keyboard can be run from 6 x AA Batteries if required. What We Think.... Entry level keyboards really have improved massively over the years and the PSR-E263 is amazing considering the price. The Auxilliary Input is brilliant if you have a backing track - just plug your music player (most people use a phone these days) into the keyboard, select the most appropriate sound and play along with it. Gone are the days where you only get 50 sounds to choose from.. the PSR-E263 has 385 of them ! This is definitely not just a beginners keyboard. Barry, Blackpool Store This keyboard is perfect for any travelling musician looking for something light, easy to set-uo and which comes with lots of options. This keyboard is also perfect for young beginners as is poses a fun way of practising and learning with its 384 different sounds , backing rhythms and even a lesson guide! Dara,Wigan Store The Yamaha PSR-E263 Portable Keyboard is ideal for the student musician. This model has 61 keys which is suitable for young students who don?t require a full size keyboard. The 400 in-built voices allow you to experiment with numerous styles and sounds. The nine-step lesson function helps students learn independently whilst staying engaged. The PSR-E263?s 1 track, 300 note recorder can be used to listen back to your progress, or to store your compositions. This model can function from a power supply or batteries, so you can take your music on the go. Lesson Functions Yamaha’s Education Suite (Y.E.S) is ideal for the modern student wanting to develop independently. This nine step lesson function can assign, track and score tasks for the learner. The nine stages are split into tasks for left, right and both hands. This allows students to comfortably develop each hand for melody and chords, before combining them to perform the piece.

Purchased this keyboard a month ago and find it ideal for my requirements. I'm a beginner and the built in lesson facility is great for showing me how to play various songs. The quality of the sounds are surprisingly good as well.

Great value keyboard for my youngest daughter. She's just started keyboard lessons at Rimmers Music and this was ideal for our budget. Sounds surprisingly lifelike for the price and we were really impressed by the number of features that it has. Service at Rimmers Music was excellent with a great demonstration of the keyboard.
