What does it take to be crowned Keyboard of the Year? A dash of genius, a pinch of sorcery, and perhaps a touch of good fortune? Or maybe it’s about building something so ridiculously brilliant that the competition throws up its hands, mutters “fair enough,” and quietly retreats. Enter the Yamaha PSR-SX920.
Released in September, this keyboard didn’t politely wait its turn—it grabbed the title with the urgency of a musician late for a gig. Four months in, and it’s already left a trail of awestruck players and discarded competitors in its wake. Yamaha hasn’t reinvented the wheel here; they’ve simply made it so sleek and efficient that everyone else looks like they’re still chiseling theirs out of stone.
Picture this: the Yamaha PSR-SX920, the sequel to the wildly successful PSR-SX900, walking into the room like it owns the place—and honestly, it kind of does. Building on its predecessor, it borrows the touchscreen operating system from Yamaha’s flagship Genos models, making it absurdly intuitive.
But don’t mistake this for just an upgrade; it’s more like a manifesto. With voices and styles that range from 1980s synth basslines to cutting-edge soundscapes, this keyboard doesn’t just meet expectations—it steamrolls them.
While the SX900 set the bar high, the SX920 vaulted over it with an almost smug confidence. If you’ve ever wanted to combine nostalgia with futuristic versatility, this might just be your unicorn.
Here’s the thing: the PSR-SX920 doesn’t care what kind of musician you are.
Songwriters, live performers, solo artists—it’s got something for everyone. Need full-band accompaniment without the hassle of wrangling actual humans? Done. Want a Swiss Army knife of musical styles? It’s all here. This isn’t just a keyboard; it’s a dare to push your creative boundaries.
Let’s be real: nothing kills a vibe faster than soulless, robotic backings. Fortunately, the PSR-SX920 sidesteps that problem entirely. Yamaha’s style backings are so lifelike, they could convince your neighbour that you’ve hired a full band for Tuesday nights. These aren’t just accompaniments; they’re collaborators, always ready to make you sound like a pro.
If you’ve ever struggled with convoluted menus and cryptic buttons, prepare to breathe a sigh of relief. The PSR-SX920’s touchscreen is bright, colourful, and so easy to use, you might suspect it’s reading your mind. Whether you’re diving into settings or experimenting with features, the interface makes everything feel effortless.
You know that rare moment when something feels too good to be true—but isn’t? That’s the PSR-SX920. It delivers flagship-level performance at a price that doesn’t require a bank loan. Compared to Yamaha’s Genos 2, it’s an outright bargain, yet it still manages to channel much of the flagship’s magic.
The PSR-SX920 is unapologetically Yamaha: bold, angular, and oozing retro-modern charm. Imagine the 1980s having a stylish fling with 2024, and you’ll get the picture. This keyboard doesn’t just sound good—it looks the part too. Let’s face it, no one wants their instrument to look like an afterthought, and this one demands to be noticed.
Speaking of bargains, the PSR-SX920’s predecessor, the PSR-SX900, is now more affordable than ever.
Thanks to the success of its younger sibling, pre-owned SX900s have become a golden opportunity for anyone wanting Yamaha’s world-class quality on a tighter budget.

Playing the Yamaha PSR-SX920 is a bit like slipping behind the wheel of a luxury car, minus the financial guilt.
It’s smooth, intuitive, and packed with features that make you wonder how you ever managed without it. This isn’t just a keyboard; it’s a game-changer that feels as good as it sounds.
So, what’s the verdict? The Yamaha PSR-SX920 isn’t just a keyboard—it’s a triumph. A declaration that you don’t need to sacrifice your savings for top-tier innovation and style. Musicians across the UK are already singing its praises, and it’s easy to see why.
Congratulations to Yamaha for creating my keyboard of the year 2024. If you haven’t tried the PSR-SX920 yet, now’s your moment.
Go on—give it a go. Your music deserves it, and frankly, so do you.
