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.

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 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.

HEADPHONES CONNECTIVITY

Headphones iconHeadphones icon

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.

*Headphones sold separately

METRONOME

We recommend using the metronome if you want to practice along with a fixed tempo.

RECORDING

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.

RHYTHM

Rhythm iconRhythm icon

If you get tired of playing alone, rhythm accompaniment is also available in genres such as rock, pop, jazz, and bossa nova. This is also a great way to learn genre-specific rhythms.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Binaural sampling iconBinaural sampling icon

Binaural sampling involves placing microphones by the player’s ears to pick up the sound of the Yamaha CFX during sampling. The result? When you wear headphones while playing in the CFX Grand Voice, you'll be immersed in a stunning grand-piano sound.

Yamaha is the only company that uses this technology for digital piano output into headphones. (Study by Yamaha, as of 2023)

MORE FEATURES

RESONANCE OF A GRAND PIANO

A photo of the inside of grand piano showingA photo of the inside of grand piano showing

Grand Expression Modeling digitally simulates tonal variance by accurately sensing the slightest differences in the speed and intensity of the keys.

Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the rich tones produced by the vibrations and resonance of the strings, damper, body, and duplex scaling of a grand piano in response to the player’s input on the keyboard.

DEEP, CLEAR, NATURAL SOUND

The two-way speakers clearly produce the full spectrum of sound, from substantial bass to light treble, with no distortion or noise. We angled the speakers slightly toward the bench so that you're enveloped by sound as you play.

SMART PIANIST APP

By linking the P-525 with our dedicated Smart Pianist 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.

CLEAR SOUND AT LOW VOLUMES

The P-525 is equipped with Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which automatically adjusts the sound quality according to your volume settings. This makes it easier to hear by slightly raising the volume of the treble and bass parts to match the characteristics of the human ear, which typically has trouble distinguishing the higher- and lower-end ranges at low volumes.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
