Yamaha P-515 Digital Piano

Description

Yamaha P515 Digital Piano

With the Yamaha P-515, you can enjoy the exquisite beauty and sought-after tone of both the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos.

With over 500 Voices, the P-515 gives you a wide selection of sounds to choose from, making it the perfect tool to create and perform in any musical genre.

P-515 has a Natural Wood X(NWX) keyboard – created using the unrivaled expertise Yamaha has acquired through more than a century of crafting some of the world’s finest acoustic pianos. This, combined with cutting-edge digital technology, makes for an authentic piano playing experience that only Yamaha can provide.

Two of the world’s finest grand pianos

The Yamaha P-515 features piano sounds captured from Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand and the famed Viennese Bösendorfer Imperial grand. These piano samples put two of the world’s finest and most prominent concert grand pianos at your fingertips.

Completely natural sound

Yamaha P-515 features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening through headphones:

Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer.

Natural Wood X (NWX) keyboard – the feel of an acoustic grand piano

The NWX keyboard found in P-515 features white keys made from only the best quality wood and topped with synthetic ivory. The black keys are finished in textured synthetic ebony. Furthermore, this keyboard features the true feel of the escapement mechanism found in a grand piano which the hammers away from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any interference with string vibration.

Enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)

P-515 is able to calculate the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes of concert grand from one instant to the next. Enhanced VRM also calculates aliquot resonance in the upper octaves, and the full resonance of the soundboard, rim, and frame. This technology allows for vivid, bright, richly – varied expression that reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in piano performance.

Aliquot is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex colour to the sound. Since they do not have a damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.

Powerful onboard speaker system

P-515 features 15w + 5w amplifiers along with 2-way speaker system which provides an immersive, authentic piano experience with astonishing clarity.

P-515 also features a Twisted Flare Bass Port, Yamaha’s technology that offers a clear and precise bass sound. The flared and gently twisted shape evenly diffuses the air flow through the port. Compared to a conventional port, the Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise, resulting in clear and accurate low frequency reproduction.
