Key Features
  • Does this have real grand piano action? GrandTouch-S keyboard with weighted keys and synthetic ebony/ivory tops—the same mechanism used in Yamaha acoustic grands.
  • Will it sound good through headphones? Binaural sampling creates 3D sound in headphones that feels like sitting at a real grand piano, not wearing headphones.
  • Can I connect my phone or tablet? USB connection works with free Smart Pianist app for easy control, plus Bluetooth audio lets you stream backing tracks through the piano speakers.
  • Will notes cut off when playing complex pieces? 256-note polyphony means even the most demanding classical works play without dropped notes or cut-off sustain.
  • Does it sound natural at low volumes? Intelligent Acoustic Control automatically adjusts EQ at different volumes so the piano sounds balanced whether you're practicing quietly or performing loudly.
  • Can I record my performances? Built-in recording captures both MIDI and audio directly to connected devices—perfect for tracking progress or creating demos.
  • Will I get a realistic pedal experience? Optional three-pedal unit supports half-pedaling and gives you the same control you'd have on an acoustic grand.
  • Is it portable enough for gigs? At 37 pounds with a compact design, it fits in most car trunks while delivering full grand piano sound quality.
  • Are there other instrument sounds besides piano? Extensive sound library includes electric pianos, organs, strings, and more—all with the same high-quality sampling as the acoustic pianos.
  • Will it blend with other musicians in a band? Sound Boost feature increases clarity and presence without raising volume, so you cut through the mix without overpowering other instruments.

Professional Sound That Goes Where You Go

See Why Professional Pianists Choose the P525

Two grand pianos with transparent tops revealing the intricate internal string and hammer mechanisms against a beige background.

Concert Hall Quality From a Portable Instrument

The Same Piano Sound Heard on World Stages

The Yamaha CFX concert grand costs $200,000 and fills the world's most prestigious concert halls. Now its sound lives in a piano you can carry. Every note was recorded in a professional studio, capturing the full resonance and character of this legendary instrument. The built-in speakers deliver club-grade audio that fills the room without external amplification. Whether you're performing at a venue or practicing at home, you get professional sound quality that commands attention.

Weighted Action That Feels Like an Acoustic Grand

Keys That Build Proper Technique From Day One

Digital pianos with cheap, springy keys teach bad habits. The P525's GrandTouch-S keyboard uses the same weighted mechanism found in Yamaha's acoustic grands—heavier in the bass, lighter in the treble, just like the real thing. The synthetic ebony and ivory keytops aren't just for looks. They absorb moisture from your fingers for better grip during long practice sessions, and they feel remarkably close to the real materials used on acoustic pianos. Your muscle memory translates directly to any acoustic piano you sit down at.

Natural Resonance You Can Hear and Feel

Every Note Rings True Like a Real Piano

On a real grand piano, every note you play creates sympathetic vibrations throughout the entire instrument. Press the sustain pedal and play a chord—you hear dozens of strings resonating together. Virtual Resonance Modeling recreates this exact phenomenon digitally. The soundboard vibrates, the frame responds, strings ring in sympathy. It's the difference between a note that dies quickly and one that blooms and sustains naturally. With or without headphones, you get the rich, complex sound of an acoustic grand where every note interacts with every other note.

Fits in Your Car, Sounds Like a Grand Piano

Take Professional Sound to Any Gig

At just 37 pounds, the P525 fits in most car trunks and travels anywhere you need to perform. Studio session at 2pm? Church service at 7pm? Jazz club at midnight? One instrument handles it all. The compact design means you can set up in tight spaces where a full-size keyboard won't fit. Despite its portability, you're not sacrificing sound—the same premium speakers and piano samples work whether you're on stage or in your living room. Professional touring musicians choose the P-Series specifically because it delivers grand piano quality without requiring a moving truck.

A Piano That Belongs in Your Living Room

Looks Like Furniture, Not Gear

Most keyboard stands scream "temporary setup"—wobbly metal frames that look out of place in a nice room. The optional matching wooden stand transforms the P525 into a permanent, elegant piece of furniture. It's engineered to provide rock-solid stability during performance while complementing your home's aesthetic. The integrated music rest holds your sheet music or tablet at the perfect angle. When guests visit, they see a beautiful piano, not electronic equipment. Whether you choose black or white, the stand completes the instrument and makes it feel like it belongs exactly where it sits.

Make Repetition Feel Like Performance

Practice With a Drummer, Not a Click Track

Metronomes work, but that relentless click makes practice feel like punishment. The P525 replaces the click with actual drum grooves—rock, jazz, latin, and more. Suddenly your scales and exercises have groove and feel. You develop better timing because you're locking in with a rhythm section, not just following a click. For singers and instrumentalists practicing with you, it creates a more musical experience. The difference is immediate: practice sessions that used to feel like work now feel like playing music.

Create Professional Sounds Instantly

Layer Two Instruments for Fuller Arrangements

Recording studios spend hours layering tracks to get rich, full arrangements. Dual Voice Mode does it in real-time with one keyboard. Layer strings under piano for cinematic ballads. Combine electric piano with acoustic for neo-soul textures. Mix vibraphone with pad sounds for jazz atmospheres. Press a button and two distinct instrument sounds play together, controlled by your touch and dynamics. What used to require multitracking and mixing now happens live during performance. The creative possibilities expand exponentially, and the sounds remain crisp and clear even when layered.

Instant Access to Every Sound and Setting

Your Phone Becomes Your Piano Controller

Scrolling through sounds using tiny piano buttons is frustrating. Connect your smartphone or tablet via USB and the Smart Pianist app gives you a beautiful touch interface for everything. Browse the full sound library with visual previews. Adjust reverb and effects with intuitive sliders. Access built-in lessons with sheet music that scrolls automatically as you play. Load up the Digital Piano Controller app to fine-tune advanced settings without memorizing button combinations. Both apps are free, well-designed, and transform how you interact with the instrument. It's the modern piano experience—powerful features without complicated menus.
