NP-35
A light, portable piano-style keyboard with simple functions
A 76-key keyboard (a conventional piano has 88 keys) that allows you to perform piano pieces with greater authenticity, without requiring much space. Although the keys have the same box shape as those on a piano, the keyboard has a lighter feel that makes it easy for beginning pianists to start, rather than the weightier feel of a standard piano keyboard. You can also use headphones with the NP-35 if you are worried about disturbing those around you with your playing.
We recommend this model to:
- People with a casual desire to learn the piano
- People with little space in their home (1260 mm x 260 mm x 104 mm) (49-5/8” x 10-1/4” x 4-1/8”)
- People worried about lacking strength in their fingers
- People who don't want those around them to hear their playing
Main Features
It's just so light! You can take it anywhere
"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.
Powerful, resonant sound
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.
Basic operations are easy! A minimalist design with only functions you need
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.
Enjoy a light keyboard feel that makes piano playing fun!
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.
Just the sounds that keyboard players really use
Other than the superb piano sound, the Piaggero features only a carefully curated selection of sounds that keyboard players use frequently.
In addition to keyboard instruments like the electric piano, the organ, and the harpsichord, other non-piano sounds like strings offer the player a broader palette for expression. Try a different sound to that one you usually play to gain new inspiration and enjoy performing in a variety of different genres.

Songs
The NP-35 comes with 15 demo songs that are appropriate for each voice, such as Concert Grand, DX E. Piano, Jazz Organ, Harpsichord 8’, Strings and so forth. We encourage you to listen to these demo songs, which cover a variety of genres from light classical to baroque masterpieces, jazz, pop music and more, to get an idea of how the NP-35 opens up possibilities for your musical expression.

Connect headphones to practice at night without worrying about bothering others
The ability to use headphones is a convenient feature of digital instruments. You can play without the people around you hearing, and even enjoy the exquisite sound of a concert grand piano in all its glory.
Switch to battery power to play anywhere you want!
The Piaggero comes with a power adapter*, but since you can also power it using six AA batteries, you can even play it at places that lack access to a power supply.
*May not be included depending on your area. Check with your Yamaha dealer.
Link with Smart Pianist for even more convenience
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.
More Features
Connect to a PC via USB
The piano-style keys of the Piaggero make it useful as a MIDI keyboard for entering music data.
Play together with your favorite songs
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.
Easily record sound and video, and upload your own performances
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.
Optional keyboard stand available
The L-2C was specifically fashioned to bolt directly to many of Yamaha's portable keyboards including the Piaggero. Offering excellent stability and a collapsible design convenient for travel, the L-2C is perfect for those seeking a secure stand at a highly affordable price.
