Yamaha P200 Professional Digital Piano

Play the new Yamaha P200 Electric Piano and you may try to "lift the lid" to look inside. That's because its stunning acoustic piano voices provide the full-bodied resonance and sparkling tone of hammers hitting strings in an actual grand piano. And the responsiveness of the full-scale, 88-key, weighted-action keyboard only enhances the grand illusion!

Yamaha's new Graded Hammer Effect technology is as close as you can get to playing an actual grand. Drawing on its century-long experience and expertise in piano making, Yamaha developed Graded Hammer action. This innovative feature varies the response of the keyboard depending on the range, reproducing the genuine feel of a real piano. Low notes have the heavy touch a pianist expects, while high notes can be played with a lighter touch. From thundering fortissimo to delicate pianissimo, the P200 gives you fine control over every nuance of your performance. Plus, the expanded 64-note polyphony ensures that you'll never run out of notes - even in the most densely played passages.

Yamaha didn't just settle for creating an incredible virtual grand. There's a wide variety of voices (strings, organs, electric pianos, and more) and features at your fingertips in the P200. The digital equalizer lets you adjust the low, middle, and high range of a voice as you play and you can store EQ settings for each available voice. There are 3 stereo reverb programs (Room, Stage, and Hall) and 3 different stereo modulation effects with adjustable… read more speed settings.

The Organ Combination feature lets you intuitively combine organ sounds to get the perfect sound, from theater to rock to jazz. Dual mode lets you layer 2 soundsÖsay, strings and pianoÖand play them at once. Split mode lets you play 2 different voices on different sections of the keyboardÖand you can pick the "split point" anywhere you like! And with the Performance feature, you can record up to 24 performances and play them back with the touch of a single button!
