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.

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.
