Keyboard Survival Kit

Yamaha

collapse expand iconDescription

Many of Yamaha's portable keyboards and other electronic instruments do not ship with a power supply in the box, so the Yamaha Survival Kit is an essential accessory. Note: most Yamaha portable keyboards operate on batteries, but the batteries are sold separately, so the Survival Kit is critical.

This Survival Kit contains a power adapter that is perfect for your keyboard, a footswitch and a set of stereo headphones. You also receive a two-year extended warranty and more than $200 in rebate offers on great Yamaha instruments and accessories, along with learning software, additional songs and more.

The SKB2 Survival Kit works with the following current Yamaha products:
PSR-E273,
PSR-E373
NP-12
PSR-EW310

The SKB2 Survival Kit works with the following past Yamaha products:
PSR-E263
PSR-E363
PSR-EW300
YPT-255
Yamaha Survival Kit B2 for PSR-E273, PSR-E373, PSR-EW310 and NP-12

Yamaha Survival Kit

This comes with everything you need to move along with your keyboard playing. The sustain pedal and the power adapter alone would add up to more than what you pay for this package. The headphones are the weak link, but not a deal breaker.

do not buy

if I could give this 0 stars I would. The pedal only worked for 10 minutes and the headphones are the same one you find at the dollar store, or at least they look and sound like them. the only thing is worth buying is the power supply and you can probably buy that for cheaper if you buiy it seperatelly. Do that and then spend some more money and buy a pedal that does work.

    It's great for the price and more economical than buying everything separate.

  • I would not buy this product again, nor suggest anyone buy!

    Don't bother with this set. Buy the power supply, the pedal and the headphones separate. This is not a great deal. The headphones are very poor quality and the pedal is NOT a sustain pedal. It is cheap, lightweight and slides all over the floor.

  • Overpriced

    Headphones: 3/5 Power supply: 4/5 Sustain Pedal: 0/5 Whatever else was in the box: (who cares)/5 the headphones are actually not that bad. certainly nothing special but i dont think any insufferable self-proclaimed audiophile is going to be buying their headphones from this package, so its unreasonable to expect much more than a plastic band that transmit noise (which it is and does). the power supply works and the only reason i bought this at all is because i needed a power supply that day for my mx49. i thought it might be worth it if i could also use the sustain pedal. One annoying thing is that the transformer is oriented sideways so that it doesnt take up more than one plug, but on a powerstrip for example it is still wide enough that it overlaps a second outlet enough that you cant plug anything in. why bother if it still takes up two The sustain pedal did not work out of the box. you press it down and release it, and it stays pressed. I took it apart and the little plastic switch that turns sustain on/off sticks on the way back up and does not fully return to the off position. This pedal is trash Overall, I don't know why yamaha even sells this package. not because "its poor quality and tarnishes the good name of" whatever no its because it is bad enough that nobody will be completely happy with it, they will then give it poor reviews, and anyone who considers buying it on the internet will be persuaded otherwise. I don't know why they sell this because it doesnt seem lucrative to have something that just doesnt work being sold on a website where people can tell every potential buyer that it doesnt work

  • Good quality and worth the money

    I live in an apartment so having headphones for my keyboard was a must. These headphones are of good quality for the price. And the kit includes a power cord. It is annoying the keyboard didn't come with a power cord - I mean who is going to run it on batteries if it's set up all the time at home? The kit also has some coupons and other offers that may be of interest.
