The 'S' stands for 'Stupid questions will be asked about the letter S in the product name'

According to the UK Marketing Manager S (for "sound" was used as a reference label in the development stage for this series of keyboards, part of the prime objective being to concentrate on sound quality. When the product was lauched the "S" stuck.
Pretty boring really.

There's a podcast including an interview with the above + 1 or 2 demos here:

Maybe it's just a way to differentiate between the former PSR and the new PSR line with an extra "S".

And lets face it,the PSR-S900 not only sounds like a million damn dollars it is one sexy beast to boot.I mean,if you go to work on the same instrument everyday,you want something that's easy on the eyes,right?

"S" designation....it simply means there are SA voices included nothing more.
The Yamaha advertising team has done it again to lure them in.
