YAMAHA PSR-E473 Portable Keyboards

Sound like a pro!

The PSR-E473 delivers the same pro-quality sound found in high-end models. They’re loaded with augmented effects and a wide range of Styles—from the latest hits to genres from around the world.

Express yourself

Yamaha revamped the control panel and LCD, phased out the numeric keypad, added Direct Category Access buttons.

The optimized control panel makes it quick and easy to access Voices, Styles and functions so that you can focus your time on being creative.

With dedicated buttons, Quick Sampling, and innovative Motion Effect functionality, you can intuitively express the sounds you’re hearing in your head.

Connect and share

A variety of connectivity options provide all the support you need for practicing, playing, and performing. Plug in a microphone to try your hand at singing while playing, use the Rec’n’Share app to share your music with the world, and hook into PA systems to perform on stage.
