Yamaha Piaggero NP15 Portable Digital Piano Black

The Yamaha Piaggero NP15 Portable Digital Piano Black is a superb option for learners looking for a lightweight and easily transportable instrument. Featuring 61 keys, this keyboard is ideal for players who are building their strength, as the keys offer a lighter touch compared to a traditional piano. Despite its compact size, the Piaggero NP15 boasts powerful and full-bodied speakers that do justice to the premium Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand samples, producing a rich and genuine sound.

You can further enhance the functionality of the Piaggero NP15 with the Yamaha Smart Pianist app. This app simplifies adjusting settings by simply tapping on your phone or tablet screen, and it even allows you to view scores for the pieces you’re playing. With its exceptional sound quality and user-friendly apps that enhance the playing experience, the NP15 is perfect for both beginners and gigging musicians.

The “Piaggero” name is a fusion of the word “piano” and the Italian musical term “leggero,” which means light. True to its name, the Piaggero is a remarkably lightweight instrument, offering exceptional portability. It even has the option to be powered by batteries, allowing you the freedom to take your piano anywhere without being restricted by weight or power requirements.

The NP-15 model boasts a sleek, minimalist design that echoes the appearance of an acoustic piano while maintaining the compact size and enhanced features of a digital instrument. Its controls are straightforward and user-friendly, ensuring that even those new to digital pianos can quickly become familiar with operating this versatile instrument.

For those just starting their piano journey, the heaviness of the keys may be a concern, as it could lead to fatigue. However, with the Piaggero, this is not a problem. Its light key action ensures a realistic representation of your playing nuances without compromising the sound quality. Additionally, the lighter key action results in reduced mechanical noise. If you’re concerned about disturbing others with the sounds produced by a fully weighted keybed, the Piaggero is an ideal choice.

Although compact in size, the Piaggero features piano sounds sampled from a genuine Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand, resulting in a bright, clear tone with exceptional high frequencies and an authentically rich piano sound. To ensure the speaker system complements this impressive audio quality, Yamaha has employed their expert acoustic technology to create a robust sound that surpasses expectations for such a small instrument. This enhanced audio performance is partially attributed to a more powerful amplifier than those found in the NP15’s predecessors, allowing for significantly improved bass production.

Utilizing Yamaha’s Smart Pianist App, adjusting settings becomes a breeze. Gone are the days of complicated button and key combinations to access various sounds or features. If you have a tablet, the Smart Pianist app can also serve as a score viewer for all your sheet music needs. Additionally, with the Rec’n’Share app, you can effortlessly record video and audio of your performances and share them on social media platforms like YouTube or TikTok. The app ensures perfect synchronization, delivering crystal-clear audio directly from your Piaggero.
