The YC5 Rock Piano brings a sharp, expressive edge to pop and rock recordings, fitting seamlessly alongside drums and electric instruments. Its bright, characteristic timbre is also suitable for expressive jazz performances and versatile studio use.

Modeled from a well-known Japanese grand piano, the YC5 is highly regarded by touring artists for its musicality and reliability, and remains a popular instrument in conservatories and music schools. Pianoteq 9 enhances the YC5 with the new audio engine, delivering richer, evolving resonance and a more organic, lifelike sound. Refreshed Binaural presets create an immersive headphones experience, while expressive “Sombre” presets provide a smooth, silken tone for more emotive or cinematic performances.

The YC5 features three carefully crafted variants to cover a range of playing situations: Stage, bright and percussive for rock, pop, and ballads; Chamber, full, rich timbre ideal for solo piano; Studio, close-miked perspective perfect for recording.
