Meet the Keyboard That Feels Like a Whole Band
There are some keyboards you play once and forget about. The Yamaha SX900 is not one of them. From the moment I first sat down at it, I was struck by its sheer power. The possibilities it puts at your fingertips make it feel like you’ve suddenly hired a backing band, a sound engineer, and an orchestra – all tucked neatly into a compact, stylish instrument that fits easily in the corner of your living room.
And here’s the kicker: you don’t even need to buy one brand new. We’ve currently got a fair few preowned Yamaha SX900s in stock at ePianos, all in excellent condition, and each comes with a 1-year warranty. Buying preowned isn’t just about saving money – it’s about getting one of Yamaha’s most inspiring arranger keyboards at a price that makes sense.
A Mini Recording Studio at Your Fingertips
I often describe arranger keyboards as a tool as much as an instrument. The SX900 is a perfect example. It’s not just about playing notes – it’s about creating. The large, clear touch screen makes navigation smooth, and within a few taps you’re off, inspired, and sounding like a whole band. It’s as close to a mini recording studio as you’ll get without needing to faff around with software and cables.
And the sounds… oh, the sounds. Yamaha outdid themselves with the SX900’s audio styles and drum sampling. The brushes in the jazz styles are so smooth it feels like you’ve been dropped into Ronnie Scott’s. The brass has real bite. The main piano voice is stunning. And when I get lost improvising with the orchestral strings (cranking up the reverb with the live control knobs, of course), it becomes downright mesmerising.
Who the SX900 is For
This is the arranger for people who are ready to take their playing to the next level without spending thousands. Gigging musicians love it because it’s compact, powerful, and easy to throw in the back of the car for a tour. Home players love it because it has built-in speakers (no need to clutter the lounge with extra gear) and is simple to tuck into a corner.
The best part? You don’t need to be a world-class player to get something that sounds incredible out of it. I’ve watched people sit down, tap a couple of buttons, and suddenly they’re wide-eyed with disbelief at how good they sound.
Why Go Preowned?
If I were explaining this to a mate down the pub, I’d put it like this: buying a preowned SX900 is simply the best way to get the most out of your cash. These things are built like tanks – look after it and it’ll still be going strong 20 years from now. Plus, our preowned SX900s are carefully checked, fully guaranteed with a 1-year warranty, and ready to deliver straight away.
So you get a keyboard that still feels cutting-edge in 2025, at a fraction of the price. That’s what I call a smart move.
Final Thoughts
Sure, there are a couple of wishlist things I’d love Yamaha to add – a tilting screen would be handy, and a one-button loop function would unleash everyone’s inner Ed Sheeran. But honestly, the SX900 already nails what an arranger keyboard should be. It’s compact, powerful, ridiculously fun, and an absolute bargain when you buy it preowned.
One of the best arranger keyboards on the market – at one of the best prices on the market.
If you want to see the SX900 in action, check out some of our demo videos over on ePianos TV where we put these keyboards through their paces.
