Diwali is on 8 November, with Dhanteras on 6 November and Bhai Dooj on 11 November. If you're choosing a musical gift, a Made in India musical instrument for Indian music and festive times is a natural fit. This guide covers Yamaha's Made in India keyboards for students and performers, mini keyboards for kids, and acoustic guitars made at the Yamaha Music India factory in Chennai.
Yamaha has offered the PSR-I series as its India-localised keyboard line since the PSR-I425 in 2007. It has been popular with performers and music school students alike. Both keyboards have 61 touch-response keys, and they include features that set them apart from standard portable keyboards:

Which one? The PSR-I510 is a strong choice for students and home practice, and it meets the basic requirements for taking grade exams. The PSR-I610 suits performers and singers who want louder built-in speakers, more voices and styles, and extra expression from the modulation wheel. Both have a mic input and connect to a computer over USB. A keyboard stand is sold separately. Compare them with other portable keyboards, or read our post on the latest Made in India keyboards.

Both models have 37 high-quality mini keys, a built-in speaker, a headphone jack, and run on batteries or USB power (the USB adapter is sold separately). Buyers also get free tutorial videos and a free digital songbook.
