Examine the Rewards and Benefits with Reference to the Yamaha P-155

By Jasmin Gamez


Yamaha is the only manufacturer of acoustic pianos which also builds digital pianos and has improved its high-quality slab piano, the P-155 for the 2009 Winter NAMM. Although designed for a musician who is gigging and needs quality tone and touch piano, the Yamaha P-155 can also be used at home for practicing. Features of this instrument include superior sound and GH (Graded Hammer) Effect key movement that can build adequate finger technique; a mahogany top board and black body with stylish and sleek design; and a GH keyboard with real piano feel. It also has AWM 4-level Dynamic Stereo and Pure CF, a USB attachment for playing and storing music, polyphony (max) and 128 notes.

With the Yamaha, well-known piano touch, the P-155 digital piano provides a high quality sound for use when you are performing by yourself, in a band, practicing at your home or away from home. The top-shelf technologies relating to digital piano from Yamaha plus the highly-expressive Graded Hammer keyboard save musicians from having to choose between piano quality and portability.

DDS (Dynamic Stereo Sampling) technology from Yamaha utilizes four-level piano samples to boost expression. You will be able to hear (of four) piano recordings on each key at an extraordinary level of tonal expression and vibrant range, depending on the level of strike from the user on a particular note. Playing softly doesn't necessarily mean that the volume is lowered. Instead, it generates the hushed recordings of the notes of the piano. Playing harder generates divided samples at various levels. Yamaha has put out great effort to capture the sonic artifacts of the grand piano in the Yamaha P-155. Their thorough efforts also include the recording of a felt damper which comes to pause (Key Off Samples) on a vibrating string whenever a note has been released by the user. Also, the reproduction of the open strings sound will emphasize your performance when you use the Stereo Sustain Samples and Damper Resonance (damper pedal).

The layer modes and the easily set features of the Yamaha P-155, the polyphony with 128 notes along with 50 regular piano repertoire built-in songs that are recorded with the left and right hands on different tracks. The song recorder is great for grabbing ideas or looking over performances.
