The Yamaha P-515 was the flagship digital piano in Yamaha’s portable P-series, highly regarded for its authentic sound and playing experience. It is now discontinued, having been replaced by the Yamaha P-525. The P-515 is ideal for experienced pianists and serious students who want a portable instrument with a premium, realistic piano feel and sound.
Key features
- Acoustic piano sound: The P-515 features high-fidelity samples of two world-class concert grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial.
- Authentic key action: It uses Yamaha’s Natural Wood X (NWX) keyboard, which incorporates real wooden keys (for the whites) and an escapement mechanism that mimics the feel of an acoustic grand piano. The keytops are made of synthetic ebony and ivory for a natural feel.
- Powerful sound system: A powerful 40-watt, four-speaker system with a Twisted Flare Bass Port produces a clear and resonant sound for an immersive playing experience.
- Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): This technology recreates the complex sympathetic resonances of an acoustic piano for a more realistic and expressive sound.
- Bluetooth audio: The built-in Bluetooth audio functionality allows you to stream music from your smartphone or tablet through the piano’s speakers.
- Smart Pianist app compatibility: You can connect the P-515 to an iOS device and use the Smart Pianist app for a more intuitive touchscreen interface. It can also analyze songs in your music library and create chord charts.
