Yamaha PSR Overview
For over 40 years, Yamaha has created a host of portable musical keyboard instruments under the "PSR" branding, from 1984 when the first "PortaTone" models launched, to the present day with versatile, high-technology instruments good for both beginners and seasoned keyboard musicians.
There have been close to 200 PSR models, including very basic keyboards and those with high-end features. As technology has improved and prices have dropped, later models have often included more functionality at less expense. Build quality has usually been reasonable at least for amateur home use, and they are usually marketed as being ideal for younger and beginner players.
The majority of Yamaha PSR keyboards have 49 or 61 synth/organ style (light touch) keys, with later models having touch sensitivity and some with aftertouch. Sounds include a variety of piano, acoustic, real world and synthetic voices, accompaniments and rhythms. Some feature basic recording functions, and many later models have MIDI capability. Simple onboard tutorials are also available on some models.
Sound quality is usually very good, particularly for simulating acoustic and electric pianos, organs, other keyboard instruments, strings, drums and percussion. Particularly for the price, they offer a lot of features for both beginner and improving musicians, children and adults.
See our detailed Yamaha PSR history article for much more information.
