The Portable Piano That Sounds Like a Concert Grand

See Why Musicians Choose the P-S500 Over Other Portable Keyboards

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

The Same Yamaha CFX Grand Heard on World Stages

Concert Hall Sound That Fits in Your Car

This is not a synthesized approximation. The P-S500 contains the actual sound of the Yamaha CFX concert grand—the same piano played at Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House—captured note by note in a world-class recording studio. You get the full depth, warmth, and resonance of a $200,000 instrument, but you can carry it to your gig, pack it for vacation, or move it between rooms without calling a piano mover.

Weighted Action That Prepares You for Any Piano

Keys That Build Real Piano Technique

Portable keyboards usually feel like toys. Not this one. The 88-key weighted action responds exactly like an acoustic piano—heavier in the bass, lighter in the treble—so your fingers develop proper strength and control. The synthetic ebony and ivory keytops absorb moisture from your fingertips for secure grip during long practice sessions. Practice on this at home, and you will feel confident sitting down at any acoustic piano.

Late-Night Sessions Without Compromise

Headphone Practice That Actually Sounds Good

Most digital pianos sound thin and lifeless through headphones. The P-S500 uses binaural sampling—recording techniques that capture sound the way your ears actually hear it—so headphone practice feels like sitting at a real grand piano. Virtual Resonance Modeling adds the sympathetic vibrations of strings resonating together, just like an acoustic. Practice at midnight without disturbing anyone, and actually enjoy how it sounds.

Studio Quality in Small Apartments and Tight Spaces

Fits Where Full-Size Pianos Cannot

You want a real piano, but you do not have space for a 5-foot acoustic or a bulky digital console. The P-S500 gives you full 88-key range and professional sound in a sleek, space-saving design. Perfect for apartments, bedrooms, dorm rooms, or anywhere a traditional piano would dominate the room. When you are done playing, you can move it aside or pack it up completely.

Optional Wood Stand That Matches Your Home Decor

Looks Like Furniture, Not Electronics

Tired of seeing music gear that screams "I am a piece of equipment"? The optional matching wooden stand transforms the P-S500 into an elegant furniture piece that belongs in your living room. Choose a finish that complements your decor. It looks like you invested in a beautiful console piano, but you kept the flexibility to break it down and move it whenever needed.

Groove-Based Metronome That Makes Practice Fun

Practice with a Real Drummer, Not a Boring Click

Traditional metronomes are monotonous. You turn them off after five minutes. The P-S500 replaces robotic clicks with actual drum grooves across multiple styles—jazz, rock, Latin, and more. Practicing scales and exercises suddenly feels like playing with a band. Your sense of rhythm improves faster because you are locking in with real-sounding drums, not tolerating an annoying beep.

660 Voices You Can Combine for Unique Sounds

Layer Piano and Strings Like a Film Score

Want piano with lush strings underneath? Or electric piano layered with choir? Dual Voice Mode lets you play two sounds simultaneously—one key triggers both. With 660 professional voices including orchestral instruments, synthesizers, and world instruments, you can create soundscapes that would normally require a full studio. Perfect for worship music, singer-songwriter performances, or film-score-style compositions.

Smart Pianist App Shows You Exactly What to Play

Your Phone Becomes Your Piano Teacher

The Smart Pianist app turns your smartphone into an interactive teacher. Red and blue lights on the keys show you which notes to play and when, so you can learn songs without reading sheet music. Adjust voices, record performances, and even connect a microphone to sing along with vocal harmony effects. USB and optional wireless connectivity mean your piano integrates seamlessly with computers, tablets, and recording software.
