Yamaha P-155S Contemporary Digital Piano – Silver

Yamaha P-155S Contemporary Digital Piano – Silver

  • Silver finish with cherry top-board
  • Keyboard: 88 keys, Graded Hammer (GH)
  • Tone generation: 4-level AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
  • Pure CF sampling
  • Key-Off sampling/stereo sustain sampling

Product Description
The P-155S digital piano offers professional quality sound with legendary Yamaha piano touch whether you’re practicing at home or away, performing solo or in a band. Thanks to top-shelf Yamaha digital piano technologies like advanced sampling methods and the ultra-expressive Graded Hammer (GH) keyboard, you don’t have to choose between portability and piano quality. The P-155S version has a silver finish and beautiful cherry top board.Hand-crafted Pianos, High-quality Voices To ensure the finest grand piano sound for the P-155S keyboard, Yamaha went straight to the source: Yamaha’s finest 9-foot concert grand, a hand-picked CFIIIS.

And likewise, playing more forcefully triggers separate samples at different levels.Ascension to Detail If you close your eyes while playing a grand piano, you’ll find its sound is a bit more complicated than note-on, note-off. Yamaha has gone to great lengths to capture these sonic artifacts in the P-155S.
