Yamaha CSP 255 Digital Piano, Satin Black Overview
The Yamaha CSP 255 Digital Piano is ideal for learners, returning players and home musicians who want helpful guidance without losing the feel of a real piano. It features Yamaha's clever Stream Lights system, which lights up above each key to show you exactly what to play next. This feature is perfect if you're not confident reading music. With the Smart Pianist app, you get full control from your phone or tablet, including sound selection, practice tools, and more. You can even load your favourite songs and let the app create custom sheet music using the Audio to Score function.
Backed by an 88-key GrandTouch-S keyboard, this piano gives you the responsive touch of a real acoustic. It also includes detailed grand piano samples from Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial, so you'll get expressive sound whether you're practising or performing.

Turn any song into a playable score
The Audio to Score feature makes it easy to play along with your favourite music even if there’s no sheet music available. Just load an MP3 or audio file into the Smart Pianist app, and it will automatically analyse the song and generate a chord chart. This means you can start playing instantly, without needing to figure out the chords yourself. The CSP 255 will even provide Stream Light guidance, showing you which keys to play as the music progresses. With over 50 accompaniment styles to choose from, you can match the backing to your preferred genre or difficulty level. Whether you're learning pop songs, experimenting with jazz voicings, or just enjoying casual play, Audio to Score adds a creative and accessible way to engage with the music you love.
Stream Lights guide your practice
One of the standout features of the CSP 255 is the Stream Lights system, which lights up just above the keys to show you what to play next. It's a huge help for anyone who struggles with reading sheet music or wants to learn new songs more confidently. You can even set it to focus on just one hand at a time or pause the piece until you hit the right note, helping you build skill at your own pace.
Smart Pianist app puts control in your hands
The Smart Pianist app puts all of the CSP 255’s features at your fingertips, letting you control the instrument directly from your smartphone or tablet. You can select voices, adjust settings, manage recordings, and even switch between different virtual acoustic spaces like concert halls or cathedrals, through a clean, easy-to-use interface. It’s more than just a remote control. The app acts as your full musical hub, giving you access to interactive sheet music, backing styles, and a growing library of songs to practise. You can load your own audio tracks, and the app will create chord charts and Stream Light guidance to help you play along in real time. Whether you're learning, performing or recording, Smart Pianist keeps the experience seamless and clutter-free by moving all the controls off the piano and onto your device. Wireless connection is built in via Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio, or you can use a direct USB-C cable for a solid wired link. Once connected, the app becomes your personalised interface for exploring everything the CSP 255 has to offer.
Premium voices for expressive playing
The CSP 255 features an 88-key GrandTouch-S keyboard that delivers the same responsive touch you'd expect from a grand piano. It's also packed with 819 high-quality instrument voices, including two standout grand piano tones: the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. These have been meticulously sampled to capture every detail of the original concert grands, from delicate pianissimo notes to full-bodied fortissimo chords. And thanks to Yamaha’s binaural sampling, they sound incredibly natural even when you're playing through headphones. Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) adds another layer of realism by simulating the complex interactions between strings and the piano’s body, while Grand Expression Modelling recreates the subtle tonal changes that come from variations in your touch. Together, they give the CSP 255 a rich, dynamic sound that responds to how you play. Beyond pianos, you’ll find hundreds of other instruments, including strings, choirs and synths to guitars, drums and world instruments. These can be used solo or layered with automatic backing Styles to create full band arrangements, directly from the piano.
