True piano feel

NP12 is a great way to learn. With full-size keys, in just the shape of an acoustic piano's, your fingers will get into good habits. This will stop you having to greatly adjust when you play on a different instrument. You'll also get into good practices of playing softly or loudly as a piece of music requires it with touch sensitive keys. Playing with dynamics like this lets you make expressive music. There is the option to connect your own sustain pedal too to develop more of your piano skills. Become a pro on the Piaggero.

Quality sound

Create great music with a high-standard of sound. The NP12 has an exquisite tone in its piano setting, thanks to the Advanced Wave Memory sampling system which gives a realistic Yamaha Concert Grand piano sound. This is one of the finest grands that Yamaha has made, and you can get the same sound from this digital option. This great tone rings out from the built in amplifier and speaker system which creates a rich and powerful sound.

Portable piano

Have your piano anywhere. The Piaggero NP12 is a great first piano for beginners but can also be a portable option for advanced players who need to take their sound on the road. With the option of battery-powering your instrument, there's no easier way to play piano outdoors. The quality sound and built in speakers and amplifier mean this is a piano ready for performances. You won't have to rely on a venue already having a piano for you to play. It couldn't be easier to carry it around as it's light enough to be held in one hand at only 4.5 kg.

Digital features

Mix up your playing with fun digital features. The NP12 keeps it simple with only a few buttons. Sticking to only these essential elements lets you concentrate on playing but the electric piano voices add a funky twist to your sound. Record your playing and duet with yourself as you play it back. You can also use the one-touch recording so you don't forget your own compositions so you can show them to friends and family.

The digital features can act as a learning tool. Use the built-in metronome to keep in time as you learn new songs or transpose the piano down or up an octave to practise different pitches. Create the ambience of a concert hall with four different types of digital reverb.
