Looking for the right Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
Yamaha musical instrument is one of the most respectable name in the industry. Yamaha electronic keyboards are renowned for deliver exceptional sound quality with the ease of use. There are mainly 4 keyboard models covering the needs of any novice or veteran musician. There are so many models to choose from. So, which one is right for you?
For the novice keyboard player, I wholeheartedly suggest Yamaha EZ series, especially EZ-200 (picture on the left). The EZ-200 keyboard has 100 built in songs and 375 high-quality instrument sounds. The built in songs help you learn to play by following lighted keys. It is an ingenious way to learn piano. This eliminate the need to read music to be able to play as well as memorize music. This keyboard will inspire those who prefer the alternative to reading music. You can find one for less than $200 with free shipping.
For the intermediate player, Yamaha PSR keyboards are an excellent choice. They offer enough features to keep any piano player happy. The main draw for the PSR is the ability to connect to a computer through the USB port. This feature opens up so many exciting and creative options. Yamaha’s website explains that “the USB port acts as a MIDI interface, freeing you from having to purchase other MIDI peripherals like cables and adaptors to play music. Simply connect to your computer, open your favorite music software program and hit PLAY.” The PSR also lets the user compose and record multi-track recordings.
The experienced keyboard player will love the Yamaha DGX-260. With 88 weighted hammer keys, the DGX-260 feels more like a piano than a keyboard. The products webpage says that “just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing.” It is exquisitely crafted and set in a wood stand. The keyboard also boasts a large LCD screen, which displays both lyrics and notes. It is important to note that this player also has computer connectivity, multi-track recording ability, as well as the option to sound amazingly similar to a real grand piano.
