The Yamaha PSR 340 keeps popping up across subreddits and forums - people looking to sell theirs are astounded by the prices this early nineties entertainer/home keyboard still fetches. If you find one below 500EUR you are very lucky. This is very unusual for what is essentially a very middle of the road instrument from the early 90s. Threads full of speculation ensue: does it have a desirable retro sound? Special features? Is it even the next TR-808/303 and will see a further "to the moon" price hike? I ordered one and tried to find out why this seemingly underwhelming keyboard has so many fans willing to pay top dollar. PRS is sold for 260EUR. Only time a video of mine dropped the price on an Instrument :-).
