Yamaha P-225B Digital Piano – 88 Weighted Graded Hammer Action Keys – Black
– Players who are looking for a weighted keyboard that feels like an acoustic piano
– People who want a piano in their house but don’t have much space for it
– People who want a second piano
The compact piano with the sound and features to satisfy the needs of advanced players
Yamaha’s P Series digital pianos are loved by piano players around the world who demand the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with a more manageable size and weight. Compared to its predecessor, the P-225 features a more compact body style with a shorter and thinner body design.
This model looks beautiful from any angle, and blends in well with any room. To achieve a smaller product chassis, Yamaha have 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.
The P-225 features the sounds of Yamaha’s premier 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 a serious beginner with a desire to learn to play, the P-225 is the perfect choice.
Newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard offers a realistic playing feel
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 have always 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 feel and piano playing experience.
The sound of Yamaha’s premier concert grand piano, the CFX
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 – ever.
Play music from the instrument’s speakers via Bluetooth® audio
The P-225 features built-in Bluetooth® audio, which lets you pair this instrument with your Bluetooth®-enabled smartphone or tablet to listen to your favorite music through the instrument’s speakers. You can also play along with the sound coming from the instrument’s speakers.
