Yamaha P525 B Digital Piano

The 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 piano, 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 Bosendorfer 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.

The 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 keys is as close as it gets to the touch of a grand piano.

The 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.

Simulating the sound of two world-class concert grand pianos in a compact body

The P-525 is equipped with Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial Voices. The CFX is characterized by a sparkling treble and powerful bass, while the Imperial has a warm sound known as the Viennese tone.

Despite its compact size, the P-525 offers a full taste of the distinct qualities of these two great pianos.

Play realistic renditions of classic songs of yesteryear

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 experience that make you feel like you are actually playing those instruments.

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 cafes, 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.

Voices: The P-525 is equipped with 542 different Voices, including 44 carefully selected Voices as well as 18 drum/SFX Kits and 480 XG Voices. The 44 Voices created for the P-525 include Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand and 11 other piano Voices, 9 electric piano Voices, and 6 organs Voices in addition to harpsichord, strings, guitar, and other unique Voices. The realistic, high-quality simulations of the distinctive sounds of each instrument give you access to a broad range of musical expression from a single instrument.

Songs: The P-525 comes with 71 preset songs, including 21 demo songs that are appropriate for each Voice, such as grand piano, electric piano, various organs including Jazz Organ, harpsichord, E. Clavichord, vibraphone and so forth. 

Headphones: One of the greatest advantages of a digital piano is the ability to practice while listening to what you play through headphones. This solves the problem of not wanting to disturb family members or neighbors when you play, not to mention eliminating the need for them to hear your playing when it's not at its best.

Recording Function: If you're wanting to listen to your playing objectively, or to practice only your right hand along with what you play in your left hand, the recording function is just the thing you need.

Rhythm function: 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 involves placing microphones by the player's ears to pick up the sound of the Yamaha CFX during sampling. The result is that when you wear headphones while playing a P-525 with the CFX Grand Voice, the sound will sound like its coming from a grand piano right in front of you, even though it it actually coming from the earpieces on the left and right sides of your head. It is completely different from the sound of a piano in a stereo, and is so pleasing that you forget that you are wearing headphones.

Bluetooth audio/Midi: The P-525 features built-in Bluetooth audio, which lets you pair this instrument with your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone of tablet to listen to your favorite music through the instrument's speakers. You can also play along with the sound coming from the instrument's speakers.

Furthermore, built-in Bluetooth MIDI functionality allows you to use the Smart Pianist app over a wireless connection.
