Get realistic Yamaha piano sound for a nice price! Weighing under 10 pounds, this portable keyboard is a great practice instrument for beginner pianists.

The Yamaha NP11 Piaggero digital piano is an incredibly portable and easy-to-use 61-key keyboard. With the NP-11's built-in stereo speakers, 10 voices, and 4 reverb effects, it won't take long for you to find your own sound. And the this Piaggero's graded soft touch keys are springy and responsive -- great for younger players just learning the piano. Best of all, this remarkable instrument weighs less than 10 pounds.

Lush Stereo-Sampled Sound

When your digital piano sounds as good as the Yamaha NP11 Piaggero, you'll take every chance you can get to show it off. The NP-11 comes with two realistic stereo-sampled piano sounds, plus two electric pianos, two organs, two harpsichords, strings and vibes. The NP-11 Piaggero has a Dual mode which lets you layer two sounds -- like adding strings underneath the piano sound. With dual 2.5-watt speakers built right in, the NP-11 sounds great right out of the box.

Light Enough to Carry One-Handed

If you're ready to move from practice to performance, hook the Yamaha NP-11 Piaggero up to a PA or keyboard amplifier via its stereo 1/4" headphone output for crisp and clear digital piano tone. Moving your Yamaha NP-31 Piaggero to the gig won't be a problem: the whole keyboard weighs less than 10 pounds, and it can run on 6 AA batteries for up to 6 hours -- or use the optional Yamaha PA150 AC adapter.

Built-In Metronome

A metronome is a must-have practice tool for pianists of any experience level. The Yamaha NP-11 Piaggero's read more built-in metronome can be adjusted for different time signatures, so you'll feel comfortable playing any style of music. The numeric pad lets you adjust tempo directly and see exactly how fast you're playing.

Standard MIDI I/O and Half-Pedaling Support

Need a lightweight 61-key controller keyboard with standard MIDI output? The Yamaha NP-11 Piaggero Digital Piano sports 5-pin DIN MIDI In and Out, so you can connect it to external MIDI modules or your computer via a MIDI interface. Plus, the NP-11 Piaggero's sustain pedal jack supports half-pedaling -- just add the optional Yamaha FC3 pedal to add more expression to your playing.
