The much-loved Yamaha P-Series is a bestseller in the field of compact, stylish digital pianos.

Thanks to its highly portable design, this digital piano can be played in any place or setting you desire.

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 portable design, the P-255 can be played in any place or setting you desire.

Synthetic ivory keytops let you play in comfort for hours on end
The lower keys are heavier to the touch and the higher ones are lighter, making the P-255 feel just like a real grand piano with GH keyboard. What's more, the white keys feature synthetic ivory keytops with excellent moisture absorption properties, meaning 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 four different sensitivity levels. When practicing Hanon exercises, for example, you can configure the keyboard requiring more powerful touch; alternatively, you can set it to sound louder even when played lightly. It's totally up to you.

Maximum polyphony of 256 notes—unsurpassed in the world of digital pianos
The P-255 is the first P-Series model to offer top-class maximum polyphony of 256 notes. Thanks to this improvement, you'll find that notes sound more beautiful when held and while sustaining. And there's no need to worry any more about sounds cutting out when you play busy songs with lots of notes and intricate pedal work. This is yet another feature that makes playing the P-255 more like playing a grand piano.

Impressive piano voices reproduce the sensation of playing a concert grand piano
The P-255 uses an Pure CF Sound Engine to produce its piano sounds. As with the much-lauded sound engine of our Clavinova, this tone generator features the recorded sounds of Yamaha concert grand pianos. As such, it can easily replicate the nuances of delicate playing or wide dynamic ranges, so you can enjoy the sensation of playing a concert grand. In addition, as the only digital piano in our P-Series to feature the following three functions, the P-255 can also recreate the characteristic acoustics of the grand piano sound in a more realistic fashion.
