Its Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keys, crafted from real spruce and finished with a natural texture, provide a true grand piano feel. The AP-550 delivers 26 rich tones, including two concert grand pianos, with detailed string and damper resonance, mechanical sounds, and key-off simulation that bring your performance to life.
Elegant cabinetry, illuminated touch controls, and a movable top lid create a striking visual presence, while the 40-watt, four-speaker system fills your space with immersive sound. With Bluetooth Audio/MIDI, USB recording, and the Instant RePlayer feature, the AP-550 combines classic piano design with powerful digital versatility for musicians at every level.
In addition, the AP-550 also boasts a second distinct concert grand, voiced with the same painstaking attention to detail. This brilliant recreation completes a tapestry of the most famous acoustic pianos ever played. In your hands, it represents a completely different piano personality that will take your playing in new directions.
The AP-550’s 26 onboard Tones also cover essential instruments like electric pianos, organs, strings, and more, inviting a lifetime of musical exploration.
Made from a combination of Spruce and resin, they provide the dynamic and natural response you'd expect from a well-regulated grand piano, including replicating the individual hammer behavior of each of the 88 individual keys.
Using fine-grained Spruce as opposed to coarser-grained wood adds resilience, density, balance, and a familiar and stately aesthetic. Advanced damping materials make the keys whisper-quiet, and the playable surfaces are subtly textured to provide extra comfort and confidence.
Two discrete amplifiers and four resin-core speakers simultaneously project sound upwards from beneath the lid, towards the player, and downwards, mimicking the audible behavior of an acoustic grand. Connect headphones to keep it all to yourself, with an automatic Headphone Mode accentuating bass levels at lower listening volumes.
The AP-550’s advanced Hall Simulation places your dream piano in your choice of four dream venues, be it an NYC club, a Berlin concert hall, or a British stadium. Add the Surround effect to place yourself right at center stage, enjoying your chosen piano and ambience from all sides.
