Product Description

The PSR273 is the first in this line that is "touch sensitive" to sound and respond more like a piano. Its Portable Grand function lets you switch from any keyboard configuration to a grand piano performance setup at the touch of a button. It is the first in the line with a backlit LCD capable of displaying musical notes, chord information and various functions, GM and XGlite technology, and a PC Button for easy computer connectivity.

The 273 also provides the superb Yamaha Education Suite of lessons that teach you how to play songs and chords! Its 100 built-in Styles are just like having a built-in band. Call up your favorite style of music, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the 273 will follow you through a piece of music, with drums, bass, piano, guitar, horn and string parts. Other features include Bass Boost speakers, digital effects (reverb, chorus & more), and 32-note polyphony.

This package with accessories includes the Yamaha power adapter, footswitch, 2-year extended warranty, stereo headphones, and Yamaha Survival Kit CD-ROM loaded with software.
