Yamaha’s P-Series digital pianos are loved by piano players around the world who want the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with a manageable size and weight. Today we welcome the new flagship model of the P-Series, the P-525. The P-525 is replacing the P-515 and is now providing the closest experience to that of a grand piano, in a portable instrument.
We are also introducing the brand-new Yamaha product, the FC-35 Portable 3-pedal unit that is compatible with all products using the LP-1.
NEW GrandTouch-S™ keyboard
The P-525 features the highly playable GrandTouch-S™ keyboard, which is also found in Yamaha’s Clavinova digital pianos. The feel of its wooden keys is as close as it gets
to the touch of a grand piano.
UPGRADED piano sound
The P-525 lets you enjoy playing with the voices of the CFX, Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano and the piano of choice at competitions around the world, and the warm tones of the Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, all on a single instrument.
The new samples will give the player an even fuller sound than ever before.
Grand Expression Modeling & Virtual Resonance Modeling
The richness of the P-525’s sound doesn’t rely solely on great piano samples. It also uses unique technologies to deliver rich and delicate expressiveness. Grand Expression Modeling technology accurately simulates the complex interplay between player and instrument, reproducing the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano. Then, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) faithfully reproduces the extraordinarily complex resonances in a grand piano that are created by the vibrations of the strings and soundboard.
Deep, clear, natural sound
The two-way speakers produce all sounds from substantial bass and light treble clearly, with no distortion or noise. We angled the speakers slightly toward the bench so that you are enveloped by the sounds as you play.
Perfect 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 cafés, bars, and other small venues. You can program all the Voices and Rhythms in the comfort of your home and call them up at the venue when you are ready to play.
Other features include Sound Boost and adjustable EQ to ensure that the piano can be heard when playing within a band.
NEW 3-pedal unit
The new FC-35 now allows you to have the same control over your playing as you would have at home, wherever you go, providing you the same 3 pedals you will find in a piano, but in a portable format.
The FC-35 even includes half-pedal function, to give you that extra control over your sustain.
(FC-35 is not included when you buy the P-525 – Optional accessory)
Share your performances with the world
If you want to take a video of your performance and share it on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, Rec’n’Share is the way to go. Connect the P-525 to your smart device, and record both video and audio at the same time to complete your video.
More connectivity, more fun
You can now connect to Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app via Bluetooth, which will allow you to operate your P-525, in an intuitive way. You can also load sheet music or extract the chords of your favorite songs with the audio to score function.
And if you want to play with your favourite music, you can simply send it from your smart device via Bluetooth Audio and play along.
Dedicated optional stand and sustain pedal
If you want to play your P-525 like an acoustic piano instead of casually on a tabletop or desktop, we offer the optional stand L-515 and three-pedal unit LP-1 (including damper pedal with half-pedaling capability) that works just like the pedals on a grand piano.
