Professional Sound in a Portable Package

The Yamaha PSR-E473 delivers studio-quality sound and professional features in a portable 61-key keyboard that's perfect for beginners, intermediate players, and performing musicians. With 820 premium voices, 290 accompaniment styles, and advanced DSP effects, this versatile instrument lets you explore every musical genre from classical piano to EDM, rock to world music. Touch-sensitive keys respond to your playing dynamics, while comprehensive MIDI and USB connectivity integrate seamlessly with computers, tablets, and music production software.

820 Voices - Unlimited Musical Possibilities

Experience an incredible palette of sounds including acoustic and electric pianos, organs, strings, brass, woodwinds, guitars, basses, drums, synthesizers, and ethnic instruments from around the world. Yamaha's advanced AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation captures the authentic character of each instrument, from the breathy quality of a flute to the percussive attack of a steel-string guitar. Layer two voices together for rich textures, or split the keyboard to play bass with your left hand and melody with your right.

Touch-Sensitive Keys - Express Yourself

Unlike basic keyboards with fixed-volume keys, the PSR-E473 features touch-sensitive keys that respond to how hard or soft you play. Press gently for quiet passages, strike firmly for powerful accents—just like an acoustic instrument. This dynamic response helps you develop proper playing technique and adds emotional expression to your performances.
