The Specifications of a Yamaha P85

The Yamaha P85 is part of the P Series Yamaha digital pianos. Digital pianos are built to serve as a viable alternative to a tradition and pricier piano. Some digital pianos come equipped with foot pedals as well, just like authentic pianos. The digital piano, while it doesn't feel as genuine as a traditional piano, is more versatile and has a wider range of sounds.
