More than meets the eye...

SOUNDS
The sounds are amazing... Not just the richness of the actual sounds but also the added effects added to the sounds such as built in "note sliding" and fret noise for guitar, valve click and breath noise for sax, etc. The piano has a rich sound that sounds good through the keyboard speakers and great through a big system. I still have people coming up after gigs to ask me about the keyboard and commenting on how great the sounds are.

STYLES
The drum styles are SWEET... I especially like that added detail of record player hiss and crackle added to some of the retro beats. The auto accompaniment is also loaded with some of the best background pad sounds and fills that I've ever heard in a keyboard.

MORE
The recording feature has been simplified so that everything is at your fingertips on the dashboard. I haven't had a chance to explore the Karioke and Midi capabilities much but what I've seen has blown me away.

My History
I've been playing keyboards for about 20 years... However, I didn't by my first keyboard until 1994... I bought a PSR-512. Next I bought a Roland XP-80 in 1997 thinking I wanted something bigger and better... I've barely used it. In 2001 I bought a PSR-740 and have used it every week leading worship at my church. Finally I was ready to buy another one and when I saw the PSR-s900 I fell in love. As far as I'm concerned, Yamaha has done a superb job of anticipating what the customer will want. I doubt I'll ever switch to a different keyboard.

  Yamaha PSR-S900 keyboard

Music Background:  IN a learing proces with a lot of fun.

3K has an successor, the S900, For all the technical details look on the website of Yamaha.

For me as a player (as well on a 3K and now on S900) it is gigantic. So much in a keyboard, and so easy to use. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player this machine gives it all. Easy menus, great voices, great styles, polyphonic with 128 tones etc.

Two points of approvement:
Display needs to have a tilt function (T2, Technics 2000) amplifying is low, only 2x12 Watt, is not that mucht but for a living room just enough.
