A revolution in portable music
The touch-sensitive keyboard and powerful sound engine of the PSR-E473 bring together superb sound and great feel in an all-new portable instrument.
Yamaha’s 400 series keyboards have always been category killers and the all new PSR-E473 is jam packed with incredible features for the ambitiously creative creature in you.
61 touch-sensitive keys and a class leading sound engine combine to deliver superb sound and great feel.
A microphone input with studio quality vocal effects connect into a new, simpler sampling workflow utilising four new sample pads on the face panel. Alongside the endless sampling possibilities, there are new, updated sounds and styles, and a revamped control surface to maximise ease of use and possibilities for live performance.
As well as 240VAC power, there is also the ability to use battery power, allowing greater flexibility of location.
The PSR-E473 is an excellent all-round 61-key keyboard that bridges the gap between a starter instrument and workstation. While its immediate functionality makes it easy for beginners to navigate, by delving a little deeper it also represents an affordable and inspiring alternative for experienced players.
The latest PSR-E473 features a newly developed tone generator that delivers stunning improvements in sound quality as well as high quality studio quality effects.

Enjoy 820 realistic, expressive instrument sounds with everything from contemporary to world-music voices.
SUPER ARTICULATION LITE
The PSR-E473 is equipped with Super Articulation Lite, a function that realistically simulates the distinct ways each instrument is played. For example, the scratch sound of a distorted electric guitar or the harmonics of a nylon-string guitar.
