Compared to previous models, the P-225 features a much shorter and thinner body style, which looks beautiful from every angle and enhances any room. Whether you are a professional musician, advanced piano player or an enthusiastic beginner, the P-225 is the perfect choice. Yamaha developed the GHC keyboard so they could achieve such an impressive compact design. The GHS keyboards used in the P-series have received high praise from customers for the excellent balance and ease of playing, and this new keyboard offers even better response than its predecessors, making it the best weighted acoustic piano-like playing feel in its class.

The premium digital piano model in the portable P series range, the P525 delivers Yamaha Clavinova digital piano performance in a compact form. Benefiting from Yamaha’s acclaimed NWX hammer action keyboard with ivory and ebony feel, wooden naturals, escapement and three sensors for improved accuracy, the P525 is a refined and dynamic instrument that is sure to satisfy even the most advanced musician. A much wider pallet of 40 instrument sounds, with significantly increased polyphony over lower models, includes the Bosendorfer Imperial concert grand, while a built in LCD screen enables in depth control over the characteristics of the piano sound via 'Piano Room'. Virtual Resonance Modelling cleverly calculates how the acoustic piano resonates in certain conditions, providing additional harmonics and resonance usually missing in digital pianos, while binaural sampling, captured from the perspective of the pianist, creates a spacial sound when playing with headphones, as if the sound is coming from the piano itself rather than directly into your ears. Additional features including Bluetooth MIDI and Audio connectivity, a USB audio record facility and 480 XG sounds for MIDI file playback, all making the P525 a supremely capable digital piano, equally at home on stage, in the studio or in the living room.

The latest addition to the ever popular P Series is the P-S500 Smart Piano, based on technology pioneered in the groundbreaking CSP Clavinova series. Featuring the same high quality GHS graded hammer action keyboard as the P125A, coupled with the Yamaha CFX sampling with Virtual Resonance Modelling as the P515 and therefore a very capable portable digital piano, the P-S500 connects to Yamaha's Smart Pianist app for iOS and Android to unlock a huge range of additional features.
