Yamaha PSR-E353 Musical Keyboard

The PSR-E353 from Yamaha is 61-touch sensitive key portable keyboard with 550 sounds, 136 accompaniment styles and 102 songs. Lesson guides and Yamaha's Education Suite (Y.E.S.) provide deep resources for practice and education, and with an optional cable, the musical experience can be broadened by connecting to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

The Melody Suppressor with pan adjustment function suppresses the melody line in a song, allowing the user to play along with it. Simply connect any device with a line output to the auxiliary input, including a mobile device, computer, mixer, or even another keyboard. The auxiliary input can also be used to just listen to playback from the audio device. An arpeggiator further expands the keyboard's versatility.

Built-in amplifiers and speakers and an Ultra-Wide Stereo processor deliver great stereo sound, while a headphone output provides for private practice or playing. Basic effects enhance the sounds of the instrument, and a dedicated piano button and a damper pedal input (pedal not included) deliver an authentic piano sound. A duo mode can be engaged to split the keyboard in half so there are effectively two middle C's, a great way for one person to teach another how to play.
