Polyphony and Multi-Timbrel
Polyphony is the number of sounds a keyboard can make at the same time. Obviously, more is better. However, more sounds means more memory. Many keyboards at this price point only offer 12-note polyphony, but the YPT-200 offers 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 32 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi-timbrel). That's enough for even the most demanding piece.

The Little things that Count:
Real Stereo Speakers: Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn't mean that they're truly stereo speakers. However, each of the speakers in the YPT-200 has separate amplifiers with stereo-sampling technology.
Metronome: Keep the beat with the built-in, fully adjustable metronome.
Jacks: The YPT-200 features jacks for MIDI In/Out, Sustain Pedal, A/C Power Adapter, and headphones (for private practice).
