An Outstanding Portable Digital Piano
The P-255 contemporary digital piano is for all musicians looking for an instrument suitable for both serious practice and live performance. Thanks to its compact and portable design, the P-255 can be played in almost any environment.Despite its portable design, the P-255 offers a full range of performance capabilities. In terms of keyboard, piano voices, and sound reinforcement, this is the very best digital piano in the P-Series. Whether you’re already an expert or new to the piano, you’ll love playing this instrument.Synthetic ivory keytops let you play in comfort for hours on end
Thanks to the Graded Hammer (GH) keyboard, the lower keys are heavier to the touch and the higher ones are lighter, giving the P-255 the feel of an acoustic instrument. What’s more, the white keys feature synthetic ivory keytops with excellent moisture absorption properties. This ensures that your fingers won't slip even when playing for extended periods of time. The keytops are also ideal for rapid finger movement, so you can play any type of music with confidence. The P-255 keyboard can also be set to one of four different sensitivity levels. For example, when practicing Hanon exercises, you can configure the keyboard to require a more powerful touch. Alternatively, you can set the instrument to sound louder even when played lightly.256 note polyphony ensures maximum performance capability
The P-255 is the first P-Series model to offer a maximum polyphony of 256 notes. This means that there’s no need to worry about sounds cutting out when you play complex songs with many notes and intricate pedal work. This is yet another feature that makes playing the P-255 a simply superb experience.Impressive piano voices reproduce the sensation of playing a concert grand piano
The P-255 uses the Pure CF Sound Engine to produce its piano sounds. This tone generator features the recorded sounds of Yamaha concert grand pianos and can easily replicate the nuances of delicate playing or the power of wide dynamic ranges. In addition, as the only P-Series instrument to feature the following three functions, the P-255 can also recreate the characteristic acoustics of the grand piano with even greater realism:Key-off SamplingThis function reproduces the slight change in sound at the instant you remove your fingers from the keys. What’s more, different key-off sounds can be produced for staccato and tenuto playing.Sustain SamplingThe resonance of the soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is operated has been sampled in order to recreate this acoustic effect on the P-255, depending on how much the pedal is depressed.String ResonanceWhen the hammer of a grand piano strikes the string, the other strings will also resonate. The P-255 can reproduce this effect using its String Resonance function.Meticulous acoustic design for a more exquisite sound
Round speakers vibrate in a highly natural manner to produce well-balanced sounds and it is this type of speaker that has been integrated into the P-255. Thanks to this design, lower notes in particular have a much richer tone. The P-255 also features built-in tweeters, so that higher notes sound brighter. In addition, we gave careful consideration to sound propagation direction when positioning these speakers. With these advances in the digital piano’s acoustic design, we have achieved excellent sound quality over the full length of the keyboard and made the instrument much more expressive. What’s more, the pair of 15W amplifiers built into the P-255 deliver a very powerful sound.Designed to faithfully emulate an acoustic piano
In addition to its simple yet elegant design, the P-255 is available in two colours, black and white. While the overall number of buttons has been reduced for a classic appearance, this digital piano is still very easy to operate. In terms of sound, Yamaha engineers have taken many steps to make playing a more enjoyable experience,
