The P-525 is the flagship in the P-series, faithfully representing the quality of Yamaha's acoustic grand craftsmanship combined with modern digital technology. It features GrandTouch-S action with wooden keys, synthetic ebony and ivory key tops, and escapement, along with the CFX and Bösendorfer grand piano voices. The Smart Pianist app for iOS and Android devices makes selecting Voices and changing settings more intuitive. Rec n Share helps take your musical journey to your social media platforms, while Registration Memory adds live performance functionality to an already feature-packed instrument.

As Close as It Gets to a Grand Piano
The P-525 features the delightfully playable GrandTouch-S keyboard—also found in Yamaha’s top-of-the-line Clavinova digital pianos—which faithfully recreates the experience of playing a grand piano. The keyboard responds to subtle differences in speed, weight, and depth of touch, producing a wide range of tonal color and expression. With specially seasoned wooden keys, the GrandTouch-S keyboard is built for exceptional durability while maintaining a natural acoustic feel.
The Sounds of Two World-Class Concert Grand Pianos
The P-525 features the voices of two legendary grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. The CFX delivers brilliant highs and a powerful, focused bass, while the Imperial offers a warm, richly colored Viennese character. Together, these iconic voices provide exceptional versatility within a compact, portable instrument.
Equipped for Your Performances
Beyond authentic piano voices, the P-525 includes a wide selection of classic keyboard sounds such as vintage organs and electric pianos. Registration Memory makes it easy to store and recall custom setups for live use, while Sound Boost and adjustable EQ help ensure clarity and presence when playing with other musicians.
Minimalist Design. Timeless Elegance.
The refined design of the P-525 captures the sophistication of a grand piano in a sleek, portable form. Inspired by Yamaha’s acoustic piano heritage, it features wooden accents above the keyboard, polished side panels, and a subtle strip of red felt along the key bed for a timeless, premium appearance.
