Product Description

YAMAHA PSR E413 The Yamaha PSR-E413 is a 61-key unit with innovative features for learning to play, like the Yamaha Portable Grand and Yamaha Education Suite, and features for when it's time to play, including sound control knobs for real time control over effects, filters, EQ, tempo and 100 different Arpeggiator patterns. The PSR-E413 also includes USB connectivity, allowing for the transfer of songs and styles between the instrument and a computer. This can be used for educational purposes or for musicians to play along with pieces that are downloaded into the unit. For aspiring music artists, recording original pieces is quick and simple with the six-track/five-song capacity onboard sequencer. And, with Yamaha's Performance Assistant technology, anyone can play a song - even novices. When the keys are struck in time with the music, the notes are corrected to match chords of the song being played. No matter what keys are hit on the keyboard, the correct notes will play If you're buying a keyboard having piano in mind, you'll want Yamaha's Touch Response feature. On an acoustic piano, striking a key harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound. With Yamaha's "Touch Response" the PSR-E413 keyboard responds like an acoustic piano. Since you spend a lot of the time at your keyboard looking at the LCD display screen, you might as well get one that's easy to see – like the backlit LCD in the PSR-E413! Yamaha makes

Superb, versatile keyboard at bargain price
I spent a long time thinking about purchasing a keyboard and looked at different types - electric pianos, portable grands - and finally decided that the best combination was this Yamaha. It doesn't have the full 81 keys of a traditional keyboard, but you save a lot of space. What it actually does is nothing short of amazing!! The auto-accompaniment feature allows you to back up the melody very simply or, at the other end of the 'scale' (sorry!), it can be played like a traditional piano. In short, does everything it says on the box! In fact, I liked it so much, I got one for my Mum!

Very pleased with this keyboard. Some very realistic tones and instruments in the library. It has inspired my daughter and myself to new heights of musical ability.

Great starter Keyboard
I hadn't owned a keyboard in about 15 years (the old one had Rick Astley as the demo song, Lol!) and I decided I wanted something not too expensive, but that would sound fairly good.
This was a good choice. A pretty reasonable price and decent sound. The Portable Grand Piano sound is particularly nice, but there are plenty other sounds to play around with and more options than I've been able to get my head around so far.
Touch sensitive keys work brilliantly too, allowing you to vary your playing from softer to louder notes.
All in all, I think great for starting out. May lack the features more advanced users are looking for, but more than enough to keep a learner like me occupied.
