In this video we’re going to look in depth at Yamaha’s flagship all-in-one portable digital piano, the Yamaha P515. This piano hit the market a couple of years ago with a big splash, and rightfully so. We’re going to try and cover everything you might want to know if you’re shopping for a digital piano of this caliber. If this is the first time to the Merriam Pianos channel, please subscribe, we’d really appreciate the support. Tone Engine and Sound: The P515 is equipped with a pretty advanced sound engine, boasting 256 note polyphony, which is going to be more than adequate for virtually all playing situations. In terms of the main piano sounds loaded onto the instrument, Yamaha has sampled their 9 foot CFX concert grand, as well as the 9 foot Bosendorfer Imperial concert grand. These are both very nice samples, and sound quite distinct from one another. The CFX sounds much brighter, whereas the Bosendorfer sample is darker, with a fairly compressed dynamic experience. There’s several other less marquee piano tones which sound quite nice as well, as do the various electric piano and organ sounds. The Yamaha P515 also has a function titled piano room, which essentially allows the user to edit certain tone related variables, such as lid position, brightness of the hammers, touch curve and reverb depth among others. This ability to customize piano sound is becoming standard on digital pianos in this quality range, and is certainly a nice add on. Action: The P515 digital piano uses Yamaha’s NWX piano action, which features a triple sensor, wooden white keys and plastic black keys. This action is quite interesting, and there’s a few things you should be aware of when doing your shopping. For instance, while the specs sheet indicates that the NWX features escapement, it’s very difficult to feel in the P515, to the point where we had to double check the specs sheet. Most importantly, if you’re considering this instrument, we have to make note of the fact that this action feels very heavy. This isn’t necessarily a negative, but it needs to be mentioned as this action does feel substantially heavier than some of the other options you might be considering in this quality range. Piano Features: There’s a number of matching accessories that go with the P515 digital piano. It comes standard with a very solid sustain pedal capable of half pedaling and an integrated music stand. Optional add ons including a wooden designer stand and triple pedal system. There are two independent ¼” stereo outputs which is essential for anyone considering this piano as a professional gigging instrument. There’s also a super easy to use Bluetooth radio built in, and there’s a USB connector as well, which also acts as a USB audio jack, so the P515 is very well equipped to work with external software instruments. In addition to these connectivity options, you’ve also got all of the standard digital piano features one would expect, such as transpose, split and dual mode, not to mention a very user friendly user interface. Lastly, the Yamaha P515 digital piano is also equipped with on-board rhythm accompaniment, and the quality of this accompaniment system is good enough that there may be some professional performing situations where this feature could come in handy. Conclusions: All in all, this is an instrument that’s totally focused on delivering a very solid piano experience. Definitely keep in mind that the action is especially heavy so there’s no surprises there, but the P515 is definitely an instrument worth considering if you’re in the market for a professional, all-in-one portable digital piano.
