"Piaggero," the name of the NP-35 Series, combines "Piano" with the word "leggero," a musical term meaning, "light." As the name states, the NP-35 is extremely light, even for a portable keyboard, so that you can take it anywhere. Indoors, outdoors, or even on a trip, feel free to take it to your favorite places and practice.

Yamaha’s acoustic technology furnishes the Piaggero’s powerful sound—a sound that belies its compact size, featuring resonant grand piano-style bass notes and beautifully detailed treble tones. The Piaggero features the sound of a Yamaha full concert grand, the CFIIIS. The sound was sampled from a piano with a bright, transparent tone, a spacious treble, and an overall solid sonic feel. The NP-35 is equipped with a larger amplifier than the NP-15, for a more robust bass and greater overall volume.

The Piaggero is an instrument for people who love the piano. Its modern design features aspects that are reminiscent of a piano and focuses on only the most practical functions, making it eminently usable and allowing even people who are not used to digital instruments to operate it intuitively.

Maybe you want to learn how to play the piano, but the keys feel so heavy you think your fingers will tire out; or maybe you think your fingers aren’t strong enough to achieve sufficiently strong fortes. It would be a shame to let such trivial concerns discourage you from playing the piano. The Piaggero’s light keyboard feel lets you experience the joy of playing a keyboard. Even with its softer touch, the Piaggero’s sound changes realistically in response to the force of your keystrokes, enabling you to enjoy expressiveness approaching that of an acoustic piano. Like conventional pianos, the keys on the NP-35 are heavier in the bass register and lighter in the treble (Graded Soft Touch). Experience the piano-like feel and light touch of this new keyboard.

Connect the instrument to Yamaha’s “Smart Pianist” app, developed exclusively for use with Yamaha’s digital pianos, for even more intuitive operation than when operating the instrument itself. In addition to operating the instrument itself, Smart Pianist can also display music scores. *You can also use the UD-BT01 (sold separately) to connect to apps via Bluetooth MIDI.

The piano-style keys of the Piaggero make it useful as a MIDI keyboard for entering music data.

Output songs from your devices through the speakers of the NP-35 and enjoy playing along. *A USB cable must be purchased separately to connect the device with the instrument.

If you want to take a video of your performance and share it on platforms like YouTube, TikTok and so on, Rec'n'Share is the way to go. Connect the Piaggero to your smart device, and record both video and audio at the same time to complete your video.
