The P-525 is the flagship model of the world-renowned Yamaha P Series of compact digital pianos, offering authentic feel, exquisite sound, and further enhanced keyed instrument Voices.

The piano Voices are two world-class concert grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial.

Its speaker output and the variety and quality of its Voices, including organs and electric pianos, are vastly enhanced from its predecessor, the P-515.

The wooden keyboard—highly acclaimed for its feel—has been upgraded from the NWX keyboard to the 88-key GrandTouch-S™ keyboard. This brings the playing experience even closer to the touch of a grand piano.

With the Registration Memory function for saving and recalling settings and other useful and convenient features for intimate live performances, the P-525 is also well equipped to serve as a stage piano.

We recommend this model for:

- People who want the highest-quality portable pianos

- People who want to perform (solo or with a band) as well as play at home

- People who want a second 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.

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 pleasing sounds as you play.

We also improved the speaker boxes. We used flared bass reflex ports and proprietary sound absorbing tubes to substantially reduce the wind noise, vibration noise, and other excess noise that tends to originate from speaker boxes. This allows you to enjoy higher sound quality when you perform.

The P-525 is also the first digital piano equipped with an FIR filter. The FIR filter is used to make fine adjustments to the phase of the sound, allowing people in the same room as the person playing to hear a naturally pleasing sound.

Sound that’s clearly distinguishable even at low volumes, reducing sonic fatigue

Have you ever turned down the volume because you were worried about sound leaking into the surrounding environment, only to find that the instrument becomes harder to hear or that it’s less rewarding to play? The P-525 is equipped with Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which automatically adjusts the sound quality according to your volume settings. This system makes it easier to hear the sound you play by slightly raising the volume of the treble and bass parts to match the characteristics of the human ear, which typically has trouble distinguishing the higher- and lower-end ranges at low volumes.

The P-525 now offers this feature for when you are using headphones. This makes it easier on your ears and allows you to enjoy playing comfortably, even when you practice with headphones for long periods of time.

Dedicated optional stand and sustain pedal available for more authentic performances

If you want to play your P-525 like an acoustic piano instead of casually on a tabletop or desktop, we offer an 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.

We also offer the optional three-pedal unit FC35 (which features a damper pedal compatible with the half-pedal function), and the included FC3A (a sustain pedal compatible with half pedaling)
