bought uniquely for the piano sounds. Lots of options to adjust it. The touch is better than an old piano!!! and it stays tuned!!!! only a bit negative point : it is pretty heavy to bring to my little shows!!! I manage with all my stuff on my own!!!! But it is totally worth the ''weight!!!!! #SWEEPSTAKES

The feel of the keys of this piano is better than most in this price range but the sound isn't that impressive and I was told by Yamaha that it would not be updated despite having firmware and software update capability. At least key sensors went bad and sound like a Casio but service is not easy to obtain as there are only 3 service centers in the whole state of Michigan and the closest one is an hour away and does not have very good reviews. Also, despite having sounds available in the app, I was told the binaural Bosendorfer sample would not be available for the 515. I'm really irritated with Yamaha as a company since they don't seem to support their products very well. I won't be purchasing another product from them.

I own a lot of Yamaha products starting 1976 hand made acoustic guitars,power amps , ring radiators (tweeters) speakers ,dx7and dx5 , drums .To me everything they make is top notch .And my new weighted keyboard B515 is just what they do ,perfect .

You get a tinny sound, when you gently press keys or press keys harder the sound level is always the same.

I perform with a vocalist-guitar-player. On the CFX grand setting the piano has beautiful sound in the bass and very good sound in the mid-range, but the treble is spotty. Some notes are nice and full and strong and clear, but others are weak and thin and -- rather disappointing. Yamaha needs to rectify this inconsistency. Do a test and listen to it yourself, and you will see what I mean. I chose this piano over the Kawai ES920 because the Kawai is deficient on note-repetition although it has a superior sound, especially in the treble.

I am a classical pianist who wanted a portable option to enable me to play in different locations, this is exactly what I have now and I am delighted with its quality, key board feel and touch response, not to mention some lovely piano options too!

Exceptional product that would be perfect except for the low output volume from the aux out. I have to boost the mixer gain/fader way up to compensate. Otherwise the keyboard is totally great.

My students love this keyboard. They love the different pianos and the different sounds they can use with their different styles of music. My blind student, with perfect pitch, absolutely loves this keyboard.

I needed a keyboard I could practice on in my room when I could not practice on the piano in the family area. I needed the keys weighted as well as possible and they are. Should I get to a point where I could play out, I would use this Yamaha without any concerns.

I wish I could get my Yamaha P-250 fixed. So many features were taken away on the P-515. I thought Yamaha was supposed to progress with P-series but I was wrong. I miss not having ptich and modulation wheels for use with the XG synth voices. The p-250 electric paino voices far exceed the P-515. After having Yamaha for decades, I might start looking at other brands :(

Learning and playing. I've sampled many digital brands, Roland FP 90X, Casio px-s6000, Korg Kross 2-88-MB, Kawai ES520. Computer or synthesized reproduction just doesn't cut it when you have been exposed to acoustic pianos since birth. As soon as I touched the keys on the p515, the bells went off and my heart began to thump! I could not believe the beautiful sound that followed. That piano went home with me right away. Thank You Yamaha for such a beautiful instrument.

I purchased the P-515 on behalf of my church. I am the musician for the worship services. The unit has exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it. We do use amplification for the services and it sounds great!

I play live with this. The sounds that are readily available work great for what I play. I love the display screen, very user friendly. Many options for sounds, rhythm, layering, MIDI, multi track recording. I am only using a small amount of it's ability. Feels great with good response for dynamics. The biggest negative for me is the Split/ Dual button has to be pressed when no keys are being played. Playing live I have to press the button between notes during a song. The function button names are not lighted. In dark rooms you need a light to see what button you are pressing. I added some LED strip lights to the underside of the music stand to light up the buttons. The power cord could be stronger, it's not flimsy but for live use a more road worthy connection to the piano and cord would be nice.
