The Yamaha SHS-10 is a keytar (a musical keyboard that can be held like a guitar) manufactured by Yamaha and released in the late 1980s.
It has a small-sized keyboard with 32 minikeys and a pitch-bend wheel, an internal phase modulation (usually referred to as FM) synthesizer offering 25 different voices with 6-note polyphony, two operators, and a very basic chord sequencer. It also has a loudspeaker. The features suggest the keytar might have been based around a single Yamaha YM3812 circuit, used in percussion mode.
It supports MIDI, having a MIDI Out connector which allows the keyboard to control external MIDI equipment. It does not have a MIDI In connector.
It was manufactured in three colors: silver, red and black.
Its demo is an arrangement of Wham!'s hit "Last Christmas."
