How to Choose the Best Digital Piano or Keyboard for Your Sound


GHC keys developed specifically for the P-225





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.





Sound that recalls the nuances of an acoustic grand





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.





Elegant, minimalist design





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.





Get more out of your digital piano with the Smart Pianist app





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.
