Yamaha P-225 Digital Piano, White

Yamaha’s P-series digital pianos are loved by piano players around the world who want the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with a more manageable size and weight.

Compared to it’s predecessor, the P-225 features a much shorter and thinner body design with a compact style. This model looks beautiful from any angle, and enhances any room. To achieve a smaller product chassis, we developed the new GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard (88 keys), which is built to uncompromising standards and offers the same weighted acoustic piano-like playing feel as the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keys used in previous models in the P Series.

In addition, the P-225 features the sounds of Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano, the CFX, and this model uses Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite technology to replicate the expressive moment-by-moment tonal changes that occur in a real grand piano.

Whether you are an advanced piano player or an enthusiastic beginner with a desire to learn to play, the P-225 is the perfect choice.

Newly Developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) Keyboard
One of the main concerns for piano players when purchasing a digital piano is related to the feel of the keyboard when they play. Some of the things that players are specifically concerned with include whether they can feel the weight of the keys in their fingers as with a weighted acoustic piano keyboard; will the keyboard respond accurately when they play quicker passages; are there any inconsistencies between how hard they play the keys and the sound that results; does the keyboard offer a sufficient soft-to-loud dynamic range. The GHS keyboards used in the P-series thus far have received high praise from customers for the excellent balance and ease of playing that was mentioned above. The newly developed and more compact GHC keyboard on the new P-series reproduces the playing comfort of its predecessors in every way. Further, the keyboard unit is more compact than previous models, while offering an outstanding playing feel.

Offering The Sound Of A Full Grand Piano
The P-225 gives you the sound of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand, with shimmering highs and powerful lows. The P-225 is equipped with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite, a digital technology that realistically reproduces the complex resonance produced by the strings of a grand piano, changing each time according to how the keys are pressed. You can enjoy the sound of a concert grand that’s played and loved by renowned pianists, along with its infinitely realistic resonance.

Place The Instrument Wherever You Like
One trouble that plagues pianists is that the acoustic piano is not an instrument you can carry with you wherever you go. Another issue is that traditional pianos are often too large to fit into a room. The P-225 provides a brilliant solution to these problems. With its stylish design—the most compact in the P-series—this model blends well with the decor of any room. With the optional soft case, you can take the P-225 with you to the studio, to a party, to live gigs, or on a trip—whenever you need it.

Access The Features Of This Instrument Ease From The App
By linking the P-225 with Yamaha’s dedicated Smart Pianist digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations from the screen of your smart device. There’s no longer any need to pull out the manual to see how things work. When connecting a smart device to a musical instrument to use the app, you can either use a cable or connect wirelessly using the OPTIONAL Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; for iOS only).

Enjoy Songs, Record Your Performance, And Share It
The P-225 comes with preset songs, including demo songs that are appropriate for each Voice. In addition, the Smart Pianist app comes with PDF scores which include 303 classical pieces for practice such as Bayer, Burgmüller, Czerny, Hanon and more, which you can access for free and use on the screen of your smart device. If you want to listen to your playing objectively or to practice only your right hand along with what you play in your left hand, the onboard recording function of the P-225 is just what you need. Recordings can also be done using the Smart Pianist app. If you want to take a video of your performance and share it on platforms such as YouTube or TikTok, Rec’n’Share is the way to go. Connect the P-225 to your smart device, and record both video and audio at the same time to complete your video. (A cable connection is required. Make sure to purchase the correct cable for your smart device.)

Play Music From The Instrument’s Speakers Via Bluetooth® Audio

You can also play along with the sound coming from the instrument’s speakers. An external adapter is not required.

Balanced, Clear Sound With Sound Boost
The position and angle of the speakers on the P-225 have been adjusted to replicate the sounds reflected from the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano as closely as possible. These adjustments let you enjoy playing with sharp and clear mid- to high-range tones and a prominent low-end for a well-balanced sound, even when the piano is set up against a wall. The P-225 features a two-way speaker system that delivers expansive sound. Thanks to the Sound Boost function you can switch to a more punchy sound.
