Yamaha P-525 B

I am learning piano since a couple of years and I bough this keyboard as an upgrade to an entry level beginner keyboard. After many months of evaluating comments and review on internet, I choose to upgrade to the Yamaha P525. I couldn t be more happy. I couldn t get a real acoustic piano (yet), but this yamaha P525 is really to me the closest thing. It is actually very similar in felling to the keys of the acoustic piano of my teacher. It has wooden keys (the withe at least) which give very pleasant weight and feeling. The piano also has many options and different piano sound, the most impressive being the CFX Piano sound where, if you use a headset, the sound is played as binaural sound. With a good headset, you close your eyes and you really have the feeling that the real thing is in front of you.
The included speakers on the piano are obviously a compromise, for a keyboard like this, but they are still high enough quality to have a bass presence and nice clear mid and high. Probably for the full quality of the sound I would need to use external speakers, but for the moment the piano as it is is perfect for me.
Also great price deal and very fast delivery from Thomann, very much appreciated.

I chose this model because I wanted the best Yamaha digital and 'Grand Piano' key action, with the least amount of 'fluff' (like touchscreens and big cabinets). What a joy to play, the sound is really great, all the options (including BT connection to phone/tablet), but especially the key action: it feels very close to the Yamaha grand piano I play on. The sampling and modelling is phenomenal, even detail such as how quickly one depresses the pedal and the resulting string resonance from the dampers being lifted. The binaural sampling means when I play with headphones on, it really does sound like the sound is emanating from the piano in front of me, instead of just stereo from the headphones. Very very happy with my choice.
