Yamaha P515 - hit the ground Running! | Gear4music Keys and Orchestral 

So, after using it for almost 2 years. Do you notice any flaws or shortcomings? Thanks.

The P-S500 is geared towards beginners. It's basically if you had a bunch of money and wanted to get all the bells and whistles for a beginner piano. It has the GHS keybed which is the same with the Yamaha P-45. it has like 400+ instruments and a decent piano sound. But if you're a serious piano player then the P-515 is better.

the P-S500 has the binaural CFX tho, so if you play with earphones it will sound amazing

@@Mr850man so does this, but a newer sample for sure. For what it is worth, I compared the binaural sample of the P515 vs CLP745 and this was as good, if not better than that (CLP745 has a newer sample).

The guy showed the drum acconpaniment in the video. He just didn't turn on the automatic bass. That the P series didn't have before the P515. Yes, the P-515 has Panflute in XG bank. The P-515 is a digital piano. From what you wrote you want an arranger.

@@guinhomusico9504 Thank you very much for your answer. Nice to hear, that there is Panflute, i downloaded the user manual from the yamaha homepage and Panflute was not in this list (pages 107 / 108). I have to look, what instruments are in the XG bank. Yes you are right, an arranger is very cool, but with 88 - weighted keys and a nice grand piano sound. The P-S500 I do not like the reflective plastic case and that i need a tablet in order to use the full functionality. The clavinova series has my wishes, but i do not have the space for it. I am currently using a Yamaha S90 XS, which has only arpeggiators.

They just have . . . . . the P525 and it's actually WORSE than the original. Doesn't sound as good and the "new" keyboard action is VERY unbalanced! I'll be sticking with my P515 for many years to come.

I ordered the P525 in color white (not delivered until now). I tested the P515 and i liked it. Some people write, the P525 has better samples, better sound, and better keys, some say the opposite. The new P525 costs 1900 € the P515 is sold out for 1333 € (interesting price). Perhaps there is a series control (like with lenses) and some people get a better device than others.@@njdenney69

Wheres XG bank?​@@guinhomusico9504

Only downside (and a minor one at that) is the slightly heavy key action. Other than that, no other portable piano comes close to this (even the considerably more expensive Roland FP90x)

I agree.i own one but the touch is very heavy

@@njdenney69I agree. I had FP-90X and traded it for P-515.

@@michellemonet4358Yes, the static pressure to move middle C is high - 85g but the action is very responsive and better than many lighter actions (I had a few digital pianos and tested even more).

Today in USA $ 1600, plus tax.

But it's still the best on the market in my opinion. I recently tried the relatively new Roland FP90x with its sound modelling which is supposed to take it to the next level? Sound doesn't come close to the Yamaha.

@@njdenney69I agree. I had FP-90X

Yeah I got the DGX670 its very good!!

670 does not Bosendorfer sound.

You forgot cp300. It stands in top 3

@@sf3207 yep you are right.but pricewise its the cp88 .... I am not talking about quality but only based upon the price 😉

They didn't say "flagship stage piano...", they said, "flagship portable piano...".

CP88’s action is inferior to NWX

The sound that is selected is a factor in what bass we hear. Of the sounds selected, the bass response sounded normal to me. What specific clock times are you referring to?

They use EXACTLY the same samples so this quite simply is not true.

No, plastic keys. It's for kids.
