Yamaha YPT-280 Keyboard

The Yamaha YPT280 portable keyboard is feature-packed and delivers exceptional value and performance well above its price range.

Featuring 410 high-quality voices, this 61-key keyboard offers a diverse range of acoustic and electric instruments. The sound palette includes pianos, organs, orchestral instruments, electronic sounds, and non-Western music.

The YPT-280 features 17 dedicated drum and special effects kits, each with unique sounds assigned to individual keys for enhanced creative expression.

A new Quiz Mode on the YPT280 musical keyboard prompts keyboardists to repeat notes, simple melodies, or chords, giving feedback on correct and incorrect answers and turning ear training into a game-like experience. This expands the Yamaha Education Suite (YES) of features found in many Yamaha portable keyboards.

The YPT280 includes note display for the 112 built-in songs (with a corresponding songbook available as a free download), modes to teach both pitch and timing, and the ability to pause song playback if the person playing along strikes a wrong note, resuming once the correct note is found.

Another convenience is Duo mode, in which a teacher and student, or parent and child, can sit side by side and play the same range of pitches on either half of the 61-note keyboard.

Other important features of this Yamaha portable keyboard include 143 auto-accompaniment styles, a Smart Chord function, a Song Recorder, built-in speakers, a metronome, a headphone jack for quiet practice, and a 1/8-inch stereo mini input for routing a smart device through the speakers and playing along with your favorite recordings.

The Yamaha YPT280 keyboard is an affordable and fun instrument to play, delivering the quality and performance you expect from Yamaha. Contact Andy's to order yours today,
