Yamaha P525 Digital Piano in White

PORTABLE NEVER FELT SO GRAND

P-525 TOP-OF-THE-LINE MODEL IN
THE P-SERIES

Featuring authentic piano quality and functionality that will satisfy even experienced pianists.

The P-525 is the flagship model of the world- renowned Yamaha P-Series of compact digital pianos, offering authentic feel, exquisite sound, and further enhanced keyed instrument Voices.

The piano Voices are two world-class concert grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. Its speaker output and the variety and quality of its Voices, including organs and electric pianos, are vastly enhanced from its predecessor, the P-515.

The wooden keyboard—highly acclaimed for its feel— has been upgraded from the NWX keyboard to the 88-key GrandTouch-S™ keyboard. This brings the playing experience even closer to the touch of a grand piano.

With the Registration Memory function for saving and recalling settings and other useful and convenient features for intimate live performances, the P-525 is also well equipped to serve as a stage piano.

Built-in Bluetooth® for wireless connection to Smart Devices and apps GRANDTOUCH-S™ KEYBOARD OFFERS A REALISTIC PLAYING FEEL

The P-525 features the highly playable GrandTouch-S™ keyboard, which also equips Yamaha's top-flight Clavinova digital pianos. The feel of the keys is as close as it gets to the touch of a grand piano. GrandTouch-S™ keyboard also faithfully simulate tonal variation from subtle differences in how hard, quickly, and heavily they are played, affording grand piano-like variety and richness of tone. The keys are made of solid wood, and the laminated structure makes them resistant to warping and exceptionally durable.

USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO SIMULATE THE RICH RESONANCE CREATED BY THE ACOUSTIC GRAND PIANO MECHANISM

Acoustic grand pianos emit sound through the complex movements of a vast number of parts, namely hammers connected to the keys that strike strings inside a wooden case that amplifies the sound. This mechanism, which took centuries to perfect, is absent from digital pianos.Yamaha uses proprietary know-how and technology to simulate the sound produced by the grand piano mechanism in its digital pianos. Grand Expression Modeling digitally simulates tonal variance by accurately sensing the slightest differences in the speed and intensity of the player's input. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) simulates and outputs the rich tones produced by the vibrations and sympathetic resonance of the strings, damper, body, and duplex scaling of a grand piano in response to the player's input on the keyboard.

EQUIPPED WITH CONVENIENT FEATURES FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES

The P-525 features the Registration Memory function for saving and recalling settings, which is useful and convenient for intimate live performances in cafés, bars, and other small venues. You can program all the Voices and Rhythms in the comfort of home and call them up at the venue when you are ready to play. It is also easy to switch between Voices in the middle of songs.

Other features include Sound Boost and adjustable EQ to ensure that the piano can be heard when playing with other instruments in a band.

PLAY REALISTIC RENDITIONS OF CLASSIC SONGS OF YESTER YEAR

The P-525 features improved organ, electric piano, and other keyed instrument Voices. The engineers           who         achieved     these improvements are experts in the sound of electric organs and electric pianos and the musical culture associated with them. Their efforts to create faithful, high-quality simulations of familiar sounds—the attack of an organ and the distinctive sound of its Leslie speakers, the reverb, distortion, and other sound effects of the electric pianos that defined 70s and 80s pop music—result in realistic, immersive experiences that make you feel like you are actually playing those instruments.

ACCESS THE FEATURES OF THIS INSTRUMENT WITH GREATER EASE FROM THE APP

By linking the P-525 with Yamaha's dedicated "Smart Pianist" digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations on the P-525 from the screen of your smart device. There's no longer any need to pull out the manual to see how things work.

If you want to take a video of your performance and share it on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, Rec'n'Share is the way to go. Connect the P-525 to your smart device, and record both video and audio at the same time to complete your video.

A cable connection is required. Make sure to purchase the correct cable for your smart device.

DEDICATED OPTIONAL STAND AND SUSTAIN PEDAL AVAILABLE FOR MORE AUTHENTIC PERFORMANCES

If you want to play your P-525 like an acoustic piano instead of casually on a tabletop or desktop, we offer an optional stand L-515 and three-pedal unit LP-1 (including damper pedal with half-pedaling capability) that works just like the pedals on a grand piano.
We also offer the optional three-pedal unit FC35 (which features a damper pedal compatible with the half-pedal function), and the included FC3A (a sustain pedal compatible with half pedaling).

The pedal shown is the FC35.
