Yamaha's P-Series digital pianos are popular at Klundert Music because they have a perfect combination of sound quality, authentic playing feel and a robust set of features - at an affordable price. Yamaha builds on the success with the P-525 digital piano with advanced features from the company's high-end Clavinova line. The P-525's updated CFX and Bösendorfer samples faithfully mimic two of the world's finest grand pianos, while the GrandTouch-S keyboard action with wooden keys and synthetic ebony and ivory keys will delight even the most demanding professional pianists. Whether you're a seasoned professional looking for a compact 88-key digital piano or a beginner in need of an instrument that will last for years, the Yamaha P-525 is the perfect stage piano.
Enhanced for live performance
The P-525 brings new features to the P Series that improve functionality for live performance. Registration Memories lets you save and recall panel settings at the touch of a button for easy access to your favorite configurations. Meanwhile, Sound Boost instantly adds a prescribed dose of volume and EQ for extra punch, so you can break through the mix when playing through the internal speakers in small ensemble settings such as an acoustic jazz trio. Despite all the high-tech packed into the P-525, this flagship of the Yamaha P-Series retains a sleek, road-ready body that looks as good in your home as it does on stage.
The sound and feel of a concert grand piano
The Yamaha P-525's GrandTouch-S graded hammer mechanism (crafted by Yamaha artisans using advanced multi-sensor triggering) plays great. Solid wood keys transmit vibrations from the instrument to give the player critical playing feedback, and synthetic ivory and ebony keys give a very comfortable playing feel. The GrandTouch-S keyboard works in conjunction with the P-525's half-damper pedal controls for a remarkably realistic acoustic grand piano playing experience. Just as Yamaha's Grand Expression Modeling technology reproduces the mechanics of a piano's hammers, strings and internal components, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the piano strings and case as they respond in real time to the myriad acoustic factors at play in an acoustic grand piano. Through headphones, performances in concert halls are reproduced with breathtaking spatial dimension, thanks to Yamaha's 3D Binaural Sampling.
Advanced Technology
Yamaha has been building acoustic pianos since 1900, and the company has been at the forefront of digital technology for decades. Under the hood of the P-525 are patented digital technologies such as Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), which accurately models the infinite number of factors that create the sound of a concert grand piano to bring vivid and richly varied expression to your music. From the impressive sound of Yamaha's own flagship 9-foot CFX concert grand piano to Austria's renowned 8-octave Bösendorfer Imperial. It's enjoying the sound of the world's finest acoustic pianos, plus a selection of other outstanding instrument voices, including electric pianos, organs, vibraphone and more.
Smart Pianist app
Like many of Yamaha's digital pianos, the P-525 can open up a world of expanded digital features when you connect it to the Smart Pianist app, which offers a beautiful graphical interface and a plethora of intriguing features. The Smart Pianist app not only gives you full control over the P-525's key features, but also gives you access to educational tools such as piano lessons, practice exercises and music scores. You can play along with your favorite songs, accompanied by generated chord progressions. The app can analyze the songs in your smart device's music library using Audio to Score chord tracker technology to produce a piano score, making it easy to learn to play your favorite songs.
