Yamaha

Yamaha was founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Japan when he made his first acoustic organ. Yamaha was very passionate and soon started making pianos and grand pianos. He was the first in Japan to make pianos. In its development process, this progression and innovation was always present. Through the past century and a half, the company has expanded enormously towards all kinds of instruments. Their first acoustic guitar hit the market in the 1960s, and they have been constantly improving and innovating instruments ever since. The innovation that Torakusu Yamaha contained is still visible in Yamaha's instruments today.

The PSR-EW320

Yamaha has a new keyboard for beginners! The PSR-EW320 is an affordable yet high-quality keyboard. The keyboard has 76 touch-sensitive keys, just like professional models, which makes the keyboard feel and sound more authentic. It catches all the nuances in your playing and nicely translates this into sound. This means your playing will be more expressive, turning a soft touch into a soft sound and a harder touch into a more powerful sound. Consequently, you’ll get the feel and sound of an acoustic instrument. The 76 keys are also very nice, as most models in this range have 61 keys, so you’ll have more than an octave extra. Do you want to play in private? No problem, you can connect headphones to the keyboard. Moreover, the system is very versatile with more than 650 sounds from which you can choose, including concert pianos, and 125 built-in songs to play along to. Do you have favourite combinations or sounds? You can save them as a preset so they’re easier to obtain! The keyboard can either be powered with an adapter or with batteries.

Lessons

Are you a beginner? The system has built-in lessons! You can continue to learn at your own level and pace. For example, you can choose to only practice with your left or right hand or both. Repeat the exercises you struggled most with at your own pace. Furthermore, the system evaluates your practice sessions and gives you direct feedback. The system also has Auto Chord Play, where the keyboard adds chords to your sound, and a Smart Chord function where you can play whole chords by just pressing one key. This makes learning how to play the keyboard easy, fun, and attainable.
