Concert grand piano sound at your fingertips
The P-S500 features piano Voices created with samples from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano and the world renowned Bösendorfer concert grand. These superb instruments reproduce the way sound echoes differently in different venues such as halls, cathedrals, and smaller rooms, and even recreate the subtle changes in tone that occur when the lid of a grand piano is opened or closed. With keys that rebound quickly for rapid playback of repeated notes, the P-S500 offers a feel strikingly similar to that of an actual grand piano.
