Yamaha PSR-I500 61-Key Portable Keyboard For Indian Music

Dedicated Indian voices and practice tools in a versatile 61-key format

The Yamaha PSR-I500 is a 61-key portable keyboard designed specifically for Indian music performance and study, while still covering Western instruments and styles. It features 887 Voices, including 40 Indian instrument sounds, alongside 382 auto-accompaniment Styles with 60 Indian Styles built in. AWM Stereo Sampling tone generation and 64-note polyphony provide clear layering and consistent note playback, even when using dual voices or accompaniment.

The Riyaz function supplies 40 Tabla, Mridangam and Tanpura patterns, supporting structured raga and rhythm practice without requiring external accompaniment. Built-in lesson modes, 65 preset songs including traditional Raga and Geetam pieces, and scale type settings help players develop technique step by step. Super Articulation Lite Voices reproduce expressive nuances such as Bansuri vibrato and Santoor tremolo for more realistic phrasing.

A touch-responsive keyboard, pitch bend wheel and assignable controls allow expressive playing. A microphone input, L/R outputs and USB audio recording expand performance and sharing options. Dual 6W amplifiers with 12cm speakers provide integrated projection, and battery or adaptor power supports portability.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the PSR-I500 is ideal for learners and hobbyists focused on Indian music who want built-in Riyaz tools, authentic regional voices and practical connectivity in one portable keyboard that supports long-term study and performance.
