Yamaha CSP-255 PE

For this product:

The CSP 255 is a high-performance, simple, and fun digital piano from Yamaha.

It’s ideal for both piano lessons and casual playing thanks to the SmartPianist app: 400 built-in songs with karaoke-style lyrics display, 495 accompaniment styles, and a microphone input (microphone not included). The light guides above the keyboard indicate which notes to play, and the app displays chords for intuitive learning.

Extended media compatibility

Stream your songs via Bluetooth Audio to the piano’s speakers, plug in a microphone to sing along to the 400 songs, and control all functions from the SmartPianist app (iOS/Android)—including sound selection, styles, chords, and lyrics.

Fast and intuitive navigation with its 10.1" screen

The CSP 255 is fully controlled via tablet or smartphone: a clear touchscreen interface in SmartPianist, direct access to sounds and tracks, karaoke playback, sheet music display, and learning settings to help you progress quickly.

Redesigned Hot Cues for improved performance.

The light guides act as visual “cues”: they light up according to the notes to be played, while the app adjusts the difficulty, scrolls through the lyrics, and displays the chords. Ideal for improving speed, memorizing songs, and making daily practice more engaging.

Next-generation reliability and ergonomics

Proven GrandTouch-S action (derived from the CLP-700 series) for precision and durability, with white “Ivorite” keys and ebony-effect black keys for a comfortable feel. Designed to last and remain stable even during long sessions.

Optimized sound quality

Samples from Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos (binaural mode for stunning realism when using headphones), VRM technology for natural resonance, and 2×40 W amplification: a rich, clear, and immersive sound at any volume.
