RARE BIRD!! Yamaha PSR-8000 61-Key Arranger Workstation package deal

About This Keyboard

This PSR-8000 is in very good condition with everything working. The display screen is bright and clear. Cosmetically it has a crack in the body on the lower left side around the pitch/modulation wheel area but this does not affect the operation of the unit in any way. These are AMAZING keyboards!!

Included are the power cord, music rest, Gator road case with wheels, 'X' stand and a fold up bench seat. The Gator case could use a new zipper but still functional protection. The bench seat has tear in the side but again, fully functional.

I'm not a shop and selling this package privately. Returns will not be accepted. Local collection only.

Vocal Harmony

PSR8000's Vocal Harmony function perfectly harmonizes your voice adding powerful enhancement to your singing. Have a backup chorus provide more depth and emotion to your next ballad. Add special effects to your performance. Vocal Harmony control data can be recorded in a sequencer track--great for live performance or making Karaoke disks.

Direct Disk Play/Next Song
