The piano part uses two world-class concert grand pianos: a Yamaha CFX and a Bösendorfer Imperial. Compared to the previous model, the P-515, speaker performance, tonal variations such as organ and electric piano, and sound quality have been greatly improved. The wooden keyboard, which has a reputation for its touch feel, has been upgraded from the NWX keyboard to the 88-key GrandTouch-S™ keyboard. This brings the performance feel closer to that of a grand piano. It is equipped with practical functions useful for live performances, such as a registration memory function that allows you to store and recall settings, making it equipped to perform 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 feel of 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 Bösendorfer 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 experiences 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 cafés, 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.
