Expressive Touch like a piano
If you’re buying a keyboard having piano in mind, you’ll want Yamaha’s Touch Response feature. On an acoustic piano, striking a key harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound. With Yamaha’s “Touch Response” the EZ-200 keyboard responds like an acoustic piano.
Portable Grand: Industry’s best piano
You’re never more than a button push away from the most realistic piano sound in portable keyboards today. One press of the Portable Grand button resets the entire keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano–perfect for when it’s time to practice. Yamaha is known around the world for the quality of our acoustic pianos and this attention to detail is evident as you enjoy the warmth and clarity of the EZ-200 Portable Grand piano. And of course, the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for practicing and playing piano pieces.

Yamaha Education Suite: Helps you learn to play
The EZ-200 has 100 built-in songs for you to learn to play, using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. In addition, the correct fingering is indicated in the LCD display.
- Three keyboard lessons for each hand:
- Lesson One–LISTEN & LEARN the melody or rhythm of a selected song.
- Lesson Two–TIMING mode allows you to play the melody or chord by pressing any key using the correct timing.
- Lesson Three: WAITING mode stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues.
- Lesson Grading–monitors your progress as you practice each lessons two and three and gives you a grade.
- Chord Dictionary–shows you how to play chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord name on the LCD screen.
Computer Connectivity: General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatible
The music pathway to your computer and the Internet is MIDI. It’s the way that keyboards communicate with computers. And because the EZ-200 is both General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatible, you have access to thousands of MIDI song files on the Internet.
367 Voices and the One-Touch Setting
The EZ-200 has 367 Voices for you to choose from. For example, there are pianos, electric pianos, harpsichord, guitars, drums, bass, violins, brass and synthesizer voices. Pretty much every instrument in the orchestra is at your fingertips. And if you don’t know which sound goes with what style of music, the keyboard can select an appropriate sound for you using the convenient One-Touch Setting.
Sound Quality: Real stereo (Not just 2 Speakers)
Some keyboards have two speakers but aren’t stereo. Don’t be fooled. Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn’t mean that it’s truly stereo with two separate amplifiers. All Yamaha Portable Keyboards feature stereo-sampling technology.
32 Note Polyphony and 16 Part Multi Timbrel
In electronic keyboards, the more sounds made at the same time–polyphony–the more memory is needed. Obviously, more is always better, because too little polyphony can cause dropouts in dense passages of music. Some keyboards at this price point have only 12-note polyphony. The EZ-200 has 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 16 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi timbrel); enough for the most demanding needs.
Reverb
Yamaha has long been a world leader in digital signal processing technology. In fact, Yamaha professional audio products are found in most professional recording studios around the world. The EZ-200 takes full advantage of this know-how, giving you an extensive range of nine, top-quality reverb effects that simulate playing in everything from a small room to a large spacious concert hall; a first in this price range.
Metronome
Just what the teacher ordered! A fully adjustable metronome is just a button push away.
Strike up the Band!–Keyboard Styles
In addition to the 100 songs found in the EZ-200, there are 100 Styles that allow you to play any song you like. It’s just like having a built-in band. Call up your favorite style of music like Rock, Big Band or Country, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the EZ-200 will follow you through a piece of music, providing all of the drums, bass, piano, guitar, horn and string parts for you. With this instrument, you can make great sounding music with little more than 2 fingers, however as you learn to play, the EZ-200 will adapt to your new skills and automatically switch between single finger mode and fingered mode where you play all the notes of the chord.
Connectivity
The EZ-200 features MIDI In/Out, Sustain Pedal jack and a Headphone jack for private practice.
Don’t forget your Survival Kit!
Designed to provide you with everything you need to get started. Kit includes a two-year extended warranty, power adaptor, foot switch on models that require it, stereo headphones, bonus coupons and a DVD-ROM. Look for it at a dealer near you.

Order was suppose to ship same day, but I was informed two days later after initially receiving an email stating the item was on back order that it shipped that day. After constant battles via telephone to return the item, including being hung up on twice and rude supervisors, I was forced to ship the item back at my own expense ($30+) without reimbursement.
Do not use this vendor if it can be avoided.

First, I’m reviewing the package, not the keyboard. The keyboard stand came in abysmal condition — obviously a return, shoddily repackaged (a box torn open in the center and back together with packing tape) and without instructions or all parts (and the whole thing looked cheap and had a strong burnt-plastic odor). The headphones may also ahve been a return. There was no cushioning of the separate items in the main box at all. This is the second “mid priced” item I’ve bought from Amazon this Fall/Winter which they couldn’t bother to package — maybe they’re making so much on Kindles that they don’t care anymore. In any event, this might be one item you want to shop the brick stores first before buying online.

This keyboard sells for a fraction of the price everywhere else. The Amazon vendor named Austin Bazaar are complete crooks. Beware of their tactics before you purchase. I cancelled my order only 15 minutes after I ordered it. Amazons overseas call center personel advised me to contact the vendor and cancel it. I did so at that exact time. I was told by Austin Bazaar that they had to ship it than they would issue me an RMA #. First you have to pay for the return shipping yourself and secondly, they charge you a re-stocking fee of 20%! I might add, it has been over a month and still no refund! PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR! They are not legitimate and you will get ripped off. The accessories they send were also sub par and not as advertised. Do yourself a favor and buy elsewhere!

I bought this for my two little daughters (10 and 7 years old), it was [...] with stand and professional headphones, incredible price not ?, then it increased to [...], but still really cheap for an awesome keyboard, the best part is the teaching program, my daughters after 2 weeks are playing 2 beautiful songs, if you are a good father, buy this to your sons.
