Product Description

Color: Black

The P-95 gives musicians the dynamic, high-quality sound and natural piano touch response they expect from Yamaha, along with a high-quality built-in speaker system are packed slim, exceptionally affordable instrument that's always ready to play when you are. No compromises, Yamaha quality.

Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Keyboard with matte finish of black keys

Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the instrument to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument. The matte finish of the black keys enhances the keyboard's luxurious appearance.

Compact, Stylish Design

The attractive, slim, lightweight design of the instrument suits virtually any interior décor, and occupies less space than most coffee tables. No piano movers required.

Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates the realism of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expression.

Built-in Stereo Speaker System

This instrument uses highly efficient amplifiers that pack more sound into a lighter digital piano. With 6 watts per channel, these keyboards are ready to go whenever you are.

Essential Sounds

This instrument features an array of commonly used sounds such as grand pianos, electric pianos, organs, harpsichords, vibraphones, strings and new choir and Jazz organ. Each of these sounds has been recorded and recreated with Yamaha's unrivaled attention to detail.

50 Preset Piano Songs

A selection of 50 different piano songs is provided for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can listen to them for reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nearly PERFECT September 3, 2010

By not the only one

Color Name:Black

After finally deciding it was time to upgrade, i've begun the quest of finding the PERFECT keyboard. I am only able to compare the P95 to my Korg N-one so far and of course to the real pianos i`ve played. Hands down the Yamaha P95 is the most touchy feely digital piano i`ve ever had the pleasure to play. It invites expression, something i really was missing from my acoustic piano days. So that`s marvellous. The tone is `nearly`` perfect. Still think there must be a better one out there, but i haven`t found it yet. This is as close as i`ve come so far to sound perfection, for the acoustic piano sound. The other sounds are sadly lacking but that`s not what i need it for. So for feel, full marks, acoustic piano tone nearly full marks. Ease of operation - to be honest i did not get the manual as this is a rental. I`m sure with a manual you could figure out all the ins and outs. But for just sit down and play, record while you play, play it back, add a bit of strings, all simple and no brainers. (nice change after the Korg N-one) I`m not complaining about my Korg, it`s just a completely different beast (yes you have to tame it) but the Yamaha is so user friendly i loved it immediately. The pedal is ok, it works, just tape it down so it doesn`t slide away on you. Nothing unusual about that if you`ve ever played on stage, everything HAS to be taped or strapped down or else. So no biggy. The other thing about the P95 is how darned easy it is to carry. I just about broke my knees every time i had to move that KOrg. This P95 I can carry with ONE hand. Wow. That`s worth every penny right there. Speaking of which, it is a real bargain - you will not be disappointed with a P95, even if you are still looking for the perfect digital piano, which after all may or may not exist. I Highly recommend the P95.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy for the money... December 2, 2010

By Classical

Color Name:Black

It sounds and feels great for a digital piano. It does only come with about 10 voices, but if you're learning to play or just want to play most standard songs you don't need all of the others. It doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles', it is pretty basic. But it does have the ability to do quite a bit... you just have to read the instructions to learn how to access them using the actual piano keys as opposed to having a button for specific functions (like changing the key signature on the metronome, changing reverb settings, or adding duel voices). One down side is that it only has midi connections (no usb ports), but it's not a real big deal. usb would be nice, but you can transfer all the data you need to and from your computer or other midi device pretty quickly with the midi connections... you just have to buy a midi-usb adapter to connect to the computer. Two quarter inch audio jacks for headphones or PA. Full 88 Weighted keys. For someone looking for a portable, digital piano that sounds good for the money... I think Yamaha did it right on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Careful about stand choice December 24, 2010

By Annette

Color Name:Black

I was really excited to get this piano. I chose it for the wighted keys and sound. I ran into trouble with the stand however.

Amazon and Best Buy recommended an "X" style stand, which is totally wrong for this table top keyboard. Now I have to order and wait for the Yamaha L-85 stand.

Don't know if anyone else had this problem, but don't do what I did.
