The Yamaha PRS-E453 makes the perfect first keyboard for students, a solid educational tool for classrooms, and a fun travel instrument and compositional tool for professionals. Each of the E453’s 61 full-sized, organ-style keys provides good resistance with a quick response that’s suited for playing dynamic string pads to quick brass lines and synth leads. And speaking of instruments: the E453 comes loaded with 758 rich stereo voices, which means students and recording artists will never be short on inspiration. And for purists, a one-touch Portable Grand function bypasses all advanced features to provide a lush, distraction-free grand piano sound with 48-note polyphony. 220 intelligent backing tracks, a USB port for thumb drives and MIDI connectivity, and the included 9-lesson Yamaha Education Suite round out the PRS-E453’s value-packed features.
