Yamaha PSR-100 Portatone Keyboard SynthesizerWeeks ago, I won in the bidding process for a Yamaha PSR-100 (portatone) in eBay.ph. When I contacted the seller of the item, it happened to be that they are looking for a company to host their business website. So I offered TurfSitePH.net and eventually getting the keyboard in exchange for a domain name and website hosting.

Today, Air21 finally delivered the item after two days of following it up from them.

Robyn Andi Xeon tests the Yamahaa PRS-100PSR-100 is an old model synth (released in 1991, as stated here), but it was during its time when General MIDI (GM) was introduced. But, the true value of this musical instrument to me is the fact that this is my very first Yamaha machine. My very first electronic musical instrument was a Casio MT-45 (still have it in my closet — reserved for Robyn’s small fingers), then followed by several models of CTK’s, also from Casio. Then, was able to save up for a Behringer U Control UMX49 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard, after Rose bought me a CTK-45 three Christmas(es) ago.

Next in my wish list: a digital piano (portable or not) and/or a Roland synth.

  1. Hello! I was researching for more reviews or anything related to Yamaha PSR-100 as I am planning to buy even a second hand keyboard to practice. I am a beginner and would love to know if the Yamaha PSR -100 is ok. Planning to use it as well for the music ministry in our church, since it is online. I have a time to practice.:) Would love to know any feedback if you can still remember using it, though I know it was 8 years ago already. Thank you and God bless you! 🙂 Stay safe.

    1. My Yamaha PSR-100 is still alive! And it is currently on loan with the Music Ministry of our parish (used for choir and rondalla ensemble rehearsals). Go get one if you’re a beginner. Let me know you’re feedback on the unit. Thanks!
