Yamaha P-525 88-Note GrandTouch-S Wooden Key Portable Digital Piano, White

WHETHER YOU'RE A BEGINNER OR PRO, YOU’LL LOVE THE P-525
The flagship model in our P-Series, the P-525 offers authentic grand-piano feel and exquisite sound. Thanks to its range of features and smooth playability, the P-525 is perfectly suited for all levels of players, from beginners to pros.

AS CLOSE AS IT GETS TO A GRAND PIANO
The P-525 features the delightfully playable GrandTouch-S keyboard - featured in our top-of-the-line Clavinova digital pianos - which faithfully recreates the experience of a grand piano. The keyboard simulates the subtle differences in how hard, quickly, and heavily the keys are played, while producing grand-piano-like variety and richness of tone.

With specially seasoned wooden keys, the GrandTouch-S keyboard is exceptionally durable.

THE SOUNDS OF TWO WORLD-CLASS CONCERT GRAND PIANOS
The P-525 harnesses the Voices of two landmark grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. The CFX delivers brilliant trebles complemented by a powerful bass, ensuring clarity in every performance. The Imperial envelops listeners with its distinct, warm Viennese tone. With these two iconic piano Voices at your fingertips - all within its compact design - you’ll captivate just about any audience.

EQUIPPED FOR YOUR PERFORMANCES
Not only is the P-525 ready to deliver authentic Voices of classic keyed instruments - vintage organs, electric pianos, and more - it's also primed for modern times. With Registration Memory, you can effortlessly save and recall your tailored settings, making it a breeze to set up and play live. Plus, Sound Boost and the adjustable EQ ensure your P-525 stands out - even when jamming with a full band.

MINIMALIST DESIGN. TIMELESS ELEGANCE.
All the sophistication of a grand piano has been crafted into the sleek design of the P-525 portable digital piano. Drawing inspiration from our long line of iconic acoustic pianos, the P-525 features wooden accents above the keyboard, polished side panels and a touch of red felt along the key bed.

The P-525 comes equipped with 542 different Voices, including 44 Voices created specifically for the P-525, as well as 18 drum/SFX Kits and 480 XG Voices. *

The 44 Voices created for the P-525 include our flagship CFX concert grand and 11 other piano Voices, 9 electric piano Voices, and 6 organ Voices. You'll also find harpsichord, strings, guitar, and other unique Voices. The realistic, high-quality simulations of each instrument give you access to a broad range of musical expression from a single keyboard.

The P-525 comes with 71 preset songs, including 21 demo songs appropriate for each Voice, such as grand piano, electric piano, as well as various organs including Jazz Organ, harpsichord, E. Clavichord, vibraphone and more. We encourage you to listen to these demo songs, which cover a variety of genres from light classical to baroque masterpieces, jazz, pop music and more, to get an idea of how the P-525 opens up possibilities for your musical expression.

One of the greatest advantages of a digital piano is the ability to practice while listening through headphones. You won't disturb family members or neighbors when you play - and they won't have to hear you when your playing isn't at its best.

If you’re wanting to listen to your playing objectively, or to play along with your own performances, the recording function is just the thing you need.

Ever been in a session with a band and felt that your sound was being overpowered by the other instruments? Worry no more-the P-525 comes equipped with a Sound Boost function that switches to a punchy and powerful sound for such situations.

The P-525 offers new settings for enhancing the instrument’s sound as you play and record, while audio data plays back on your smart device. Use this feature when you record using Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app or via Rec’n’Share.

The P-525 features built-in Bluetooth audio, which lets you pair your Bluetooth-enabled smart device with the keyboard so you can listen or play along with your favorite music through the instrument's speakers.

Key Features

• GrandTouch-S keyboard action faithfully replicates the detailed tonal variations produced in an acoustic grand depending on the player’s touch and expression. The exceptionally durable solid wood keys transfer vibrations from the instrument creating an important connection to the player.
• Updated CFX and Bösendorfer Samples provide greater expressive control so you can enjoy concert level power, brilliance, brightness, and improved touch response.
• Binaural Sampling technology delivers a three-dimensional sound in your headphones, creating the sensation of sitting in front of a world class concert grand piano, playing without headphones on.
• Grand Expression Modeling technology closely replicates the mechanics of hammers, strings, and internal components, giving you ultimate control over your playing.
• Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the piano strings and body in real time as they would respond to the limitless factors present when playing an acoustic piano.
• Half-damper pedal control allows for continuously increasing amounts of sustain as the pedal is depressed.
