- Is the P-525 worth it over the P-515?
- Yes for most players. The P-525 adds Bluetooth, a USB audio interface and a refined GrandTouch-S action. The core piano sound and touch are close, so a used P-515 is still a reasonable budget choice.
- How does it compare with the Roland FP-90X?
- The Yamaha has a more acoustic-like key feel and wooden white keys. The Roland offers more sounds, a modeled piano engine and a lighter body. Choose the Yamaha for touch, the Roland for versatility.
- Does it have weighted keys?
- Yes. All 88 keys are graded and weighted, heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble, with wooden white keys and synthetic ivory tops.
- Can I use it as a MIDI controller?
- Yes. It sends MIDI over USB and Bluetooth, and it also works as a USB audio interface, so one cable carries sound and MIDI to a computer.
- What is included in the package?
- The package typically includes the piano, a music rest, a sustain pedal and a power supply. A stand and bench are usually separate, so check the bundle before buying.
- Does it have built-in speakers?
- Yes. Two 16 cm speakers with 20 W per channel are built in, enough for a living room or small hall.
