Description
The Yamaha PSR-I400 is a versatile 61-key portable keyboard, tailored especially for playing and learning Indian music styles, while still offering broad general keyboard functionality. It features touch-sensitive keys, a large voice bank (including many Indian instruments), a wide selection of accompaniment styles, a built-in “Riyaz” function (tabla/mridangam & tanpura patterns), and a lesson/recording suite. With USB connectivity and a portable form-factor, it suits both beginners and more advanced players who want a flexible keyboard for home, teaching, or casual performance.
Designed in a metallic dark grey finish, it offers a full complement of features: dual/layer voices, split keyboard, arpeggio, recording, and accompaniment. The speakers are built-in, but powering can also be via batteries (making it portable). For those looking to explore Indian music genres (raga, filmi, classical, fusion) while having a solid general-purpose keyboard, the PSR-I400 is a strong choice.
