Our take on the Yamaha P-525 Digital Piano 88-Key Essentials Package - Black

The P-525 is Yamaha's upper-mid portable piano, sitting above the P-225 and below the Clavinova line. It uses the CFX and Bösendorfer grand samples with Yamaha's GrandTouch-S keyboard, which has wooden white keys and graded weighting for a heavier feel in the bass. Reviewers rate the touch and piano tone highly for practice and small gigs, though the plastic action parts and modest onboard speakers keep it short of a full cabinet piano. It suits players who want a serious 88-key action they can move, not a furniture piece.

Best forIntermediate to advanced players wanting a realistic actionHome practice without a cabinet pianoSmall gigs and worship settingsPianists who play mostly acoustic piano sounds
Pros
  • GrandTouch-S action with wooden white keys and graded weighting
  • CFX and Bösendorfer grand piano samples with VRM resonance
  • Bluetooth audio and MIDI plus USB audio interface built in
  • Rhythm and accompaniment patterns for practice
  • Works with the Smart Pianist app for sound and setting control
Cons
  • Heavier and bulkier than the P-225, so less portable

What reviewers say

Reviewers consistently praise the P-525's key feel and piano sound, calling it one of the most convincing portable pianos at its level. Criticisms focus on weight, speaker output and the cost of adding the matching stand and pedals.

What people mention
  • Key actionPraisedOwners say the wooden-key GrandTouch-S action feels weighty and expressive, close to a grand piano.
  • Piano soundPraisedReviewers describe the CFX sample as clear and dynamic, with good response from soft to loud playing.
  • WeightCriticisedPlayers who move the piano often find it heavy and awkward to carry alone.
  • SpeakersMixedThe built-in speakers are fine for practice but distort or sound thin when pushed loud.

Questions and answers

Is the P-525 worth it over the P-225?
Yes if key feel matters most: the P-525 steps up to the GrandTouch-S action with wooden white keys and adds more powerful piano samples. The P-225 is lighter and simpler for casual players.
Does the P-525 have weighted keys?
Yes. It uses Yamaha's GrandTouch-S graded hammer action, heavier in the low end and lighter in the treble, with wooden white keys.
Can I use headphones with it?
Yes, there are two headphone jacks, so teacher and student or two players can listen at once without disturbing others.
Does it work with apps?
Yes. It connects over Bluetooth to Yamaha's Smart Pianist app for sound selection and settings, and Bluetooth audio lets you play along with tracks from a phone.
What comes in the Essentials Package?
The package pairs the P-525 with a stand, a sustain pedal and a bench, so you can set it up as a home piano. Check the listing for the exact accessories included.
Can it record my playing?
Yes. It records songs internally and can send audio over USB to a computer or phone, so you can capture performances without extra gear.
