When it comes to sleek digital pianos with the feel of a grand, Music Experience pianists are quick to recommend Yamaha. A new addition to the company's P Series of digital pianos, the P-225 offers users a sleek, lightweight playing experience. Features like Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keys, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), and Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) ensure realistic sound and playability that echoes the nuances of a real acoustic grand. Plus, the P-225 digital piano boasts the voice of Yamaha’s premier concert grand piano, the CFX, for inspiring sound and detailed expression. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking for a compact 88-key digital piano or a beginner clamoring for a digital piano that’ll last for years to come, the P-225 is waiting for you here at Music Experience.
Play a few quick runs on the Yamaha P-225 Digital Piano, and you’ll find it has a delightful, nuanced feel. Yamaha has a long and storied history of developing acoustic and digital pianos that inspire players, and the P-225 is more of the same. This GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard replicates the praised keyboard of previous P Series pianos, but with a more compact design. These keys are up to the task of classic repertoires, contemporary pop songs, and everything in between, thanks to their consistent accuracy, graded weight, and realistic sound production.
The true-to-life sound of the Yamaha P-225 also owes its capabilities to its VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) Lite technology and its 2-way speaker system. The VRM technology replicates the expressive moment-by-moment changes that occur in a true acoustic grand. The 2-way speaker system helps to reproduce the nuances of a grand piano, such as the reflection of sound from soundboard and lid. Also, its tone escapement delivers clear sound that’s easily heard. The collection of speakers and tweeters combine to offer prominent low-end, rich high-end, and crystal clear mid-range. Meanwhile, courtesy of the IAC (Intelligent Acoustic Control), you can plug in with headphones for silent practice and the P-225 will automatically adjust the sound quality to your volume level. You can also slightly raise treble and bass volume so you won’t lose a single detail.
The Yamaha P-225 digital piano will look stunning in any environment. Yamaha engineered the P-225 for sleek sophistication, and its button-style interface is easy and quick for anyone to navigate. Keep it as a home piano, or take it out on the road with an optional gig bag. Yamaha also makes an optional L-200 stand and LP-1 3-pedal unit to add the finishing touches to this compact, elegant piano.
Like many of Yamaha’s digital pianos, the P-225 can open up an exciting world of expanded digital features when you connect it to the Smart Pianist app. Using your digital piano and the Smart Pianist app on a smart device, you can access educational tools like piano lesson pieces. You can practice exercises, download PDF scores, or play right along with your favorite songs with generated chord progressions. The Smart Pianist app also allows you to change piano voices, adjust reverb, and fine-tune many other piano settings.
A stylish digital piano with the playing feel of a full-fledged grand, the Yamaha P-225 features a compact body equipped with useful features from practicing. Compatible with the optional LP-1 three-pedal unit.
One of the main concerns of 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; whether the keyboard will respond accurately when they play quicker passages; whether there are any inconsistencies between how hard they play the keys and the sound that results; and whether the keyboard offers 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 (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard on the new P Series reproduces the playing comfort of its predecessors in every way. Further, the keyboard unit is more compact than in previous models, while still offering an outstanding playing feel.
The P-225 gives you the sound of Yamaha’s top-of-the-line CFX concert grand, with shimmering highs and powerful lows. This model 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. With the P-225, you can enjoy the sound of a concert grand that’s played and loved by renowned pianists, along with its infinitely realistic resonance. Of course, this instrument doesn’t require tuning!
One trouble that plagues pianists is that the traditional piano is often too large to fit into a room. To add to this, piano players can’t take their instruments out with them. The P-225 provides a brilliant solution to these problems. The stylish design of this instrument blends well with any room, and is available in black or white color variations to match the mood. With the optional soft case, you can take this instrument with you to the studio, to live gigs or on a trip—whenever you need it.
By linking the P-225 with Yamaha’s dedicated “Smart Pianist” digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations on the P-225 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 Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; for iOS only).
With a design that pays homage to the classic aesthetic of a grand piano, the P-225 blends well with the interior of any home, and is intended to offer the player the true feeling of playing a grand.
