In addition, the compact body (less than 1 meter) and battery power let you carry it and play it wherever you like.A rich variety of high-quality Voices
The EZ-300 features the latest tone generator LSI from Yamaha, delivering the finest sound quality ever offered in an instrument of this type. Enjoy 622 stunning Voices including guitar, bass, strings, sax, trumpet, drums and percussion, as well as piano, organ, and other classic keyboard instruments, which together comprise a comprehensive library of musical sounds. You can even layer two different Voices across the entire keyboard as a Dual Voice to enrich your performances even more!
Super Articulation Lite Voices
Super Articulation Lite is a feature that reproduces the sounds of playing methods that are unique to specific acoustic instruments which were previously difficult to emulate.

Touch-sensitive keys for expressive dynamic control

Apply effects to your playing
The EZ-300 features a built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) that gives you a wide variety of effects for enhancing the sound and making your performance even more dynamic. Moreover, when you select certain Voices (with recommended DSP settings), the DSP effect is automatically applied to the main Voice element.
Use the Style function for real-time backing tracks
The EZ-300 features an auto accompaniment function that automatically plays appropriate backing (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment), which you can control simply by playing root notes or chords with your left hand.
Smart Chord
Choose from two ways to play chords: "Smart Chord," which lets you play chords with just one finger, or "Multi," which lets you play chords normally, with all the correct notes. Smart Chord allows you to play chords using simple techniques that help your performance automatically sound great.
Arpeggio function
This powerful feature lets you create automatic rhythmic note phrases that change to match the chords you play. For example, you could play a chord, and the Arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of interesting, dynamic phrases using the notes of that chord. It's a quick way to get professional sounding backing for your performance.
Lesson function: "Keys to Success"
"Keys to Success" is based on teaching techniques shared with Yamaha over many years. You can select just the key phrases of the Song—the ones you like most or need to work on—and practice them one by one. This lesson is ideal for new players learning the instrument. Each Song consists of several steps.
Each time you play all the way through the current step, your performance will be evaluated.
Download the Song Book
The Song Book includes the musical scores of the built-in Songs, and also provides tips for the on-board lessons with images, glossary and more. You can use the Song Book together with the "Keys to Success" lesson function, or as a chord chart when playing with the Smart Chord function.
Play with a partner
When you turn on the Duo mode, the EZ-300 effectively becomes two keyboards in one, letting two players play the same piano sound and range side-by-side. This is especially useful when learning with a partner, letting you learn and practice parts together!
Clear LCD screen
The LCD is intuitive and easy-to read, and even has a velocity meter that lets you instantly see how strongly or softly you are playing the keyboard.
Connect a smart device
Digitally enhance the way you practice, record and perform music! Connect a smart device to the instrument to take advantage of a range of fun functions such as the "Rec'n'Share" app, which allows you to record audio and video along with songs from your music library and then share your performances with the world.
The built-in Metronome function
The built-in Metronome function can be easily set by panel operation and lets you freely change the volume. Refine your sense of rhythm and make your playing accurate by listening to the precise tempo.

Keysound reviews
Yamaha PSRSX900 Keyboard
5 star
Yamaha Pre-Owned PSRSX900 Piano
The sales team are always helpful and give good advice. Their products are always tested before delivery. Keyboard delivery is always on time and at a date to suit my situation. The keyboard I received was preloved but in mint condition and is a joy to play. I look forward to dealing with keysound for future purposes.
Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
We had a long trip to Hinkley to See Steve and his wife at Keysound due to Lincoln having no keyboard shops. We were so pleased we did. They were both brilliant hosts for the time we was in the shop. There range of keyboards is excellent and they were demonstrated brilliantly by Steve who was inspirational and gave my son a real appreciation for what can be done. Many thanks
Yamaha Pre-Owned Tyros 5 XL Keyboard
Yamaha P145 Piano
Fantastic, help and advise from the staff and Steve, they went the extra mile.
Yamaha Genos 2XXL Keyboard
Excellent....above and beyond.
Yamaha Genos 2 Keyboard
From start to finish, my experience with Keysound was nothing short of exceptional. Delivery was easy, with my keyboard arriving as promised on time and in perfect condition. A good explanation of the Genos 2 was given to me on delivery and everything was setup ready to go. The USB they provided was helpful in exploring the capabilities of my new keyboard.
Any enquiries I had were met with prompt and friendly responses, and they went above and beyond to ensure that I had all the information I needed.
Overall, based on my experience, I would recommend Keysound for their combination of knowledge, reliability, and excellent customer service.
Korg EK50L Keyboard
Cannot find fault on service and prices. Will never use any other dealer.
Yamaha CSP295-PE Piano
Keysound are the most knowledgeable And helpful people ever I cannot rate them high enough. Our Piano was delivered on time and the guys told me at the time that the packaging was damaged when they unpacked the piano they found it to be damaged and told me before I even seen it. I had the choice to send it back then or keep it until the replacement was found. I kept it within two weeks. I’ve got a Piano. First rate service all around. I would highly recommend them
Yamaha PSRSX600 Keyboard
Absolutely fantastic service from Steve at Keysound. Expert advice, really friendly and helpful. Will be going back to store for some add ons very soon!
Korg PA5X Bonus USB Accessories
The service was extreme good in the item was downloaded to me almost immediate after my payment had been cleared into a USB stick.
No problem in transferring the information form the USN to the Pa5c

Roland Fantom 06 Keyboard
I have purchased several keyboards from Keysound , and you always get a good service. You get a more personal experience, and they are always willing to take time to find you the best keyboard which suits your needs. After sales is also good, as they will help you with your new keyboard should you get stuck on anything.
Yamaha Pre-Owned Genos XL Keyboard
Nothing too much trouble and great after sales support and assistance.
Korg PA5X61 Keyboard
Great personalised friendly service, extremely knowledgeable of the products. I would recommend Keysound, especially to those who require additional support or aftercare with the products they purchase.
Casio CTX5000 Keyboard
Keysound were excellent. Other music shops take a generic approach about what people want and they have limited experience across multiple types of instruments. Keysound were interested in me and exacty what I wanted. They interpreted that and gave me invaluable advice. It was friendly, focused and specific. I would definitely recommend them and buy from then again. I also really like their view that buying a keyboard from them is just the start of the journey. They are there for in-person and online/on phone advice and help. I am extremely pleased with my purchase - which is not what I thought I'd be buying when I entered their shop.
Kawai CN301-B Piano
Very knowledgeable and helpful to make sure we got the correct piano for us
Yamaha Genos 2XL Keyboard
Steve and his staff were excellent. They spent a lot of time explaining and demonstrating various digital pianos and keyboards. After a few days deliberating I chose a different option to what I had set out to buy. The knowledge and service was second to none and inspired me to become a better player. I am very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to many hours of keyboard playing. Thank you
