A Compact Piano with the Sound and Features to Meet Advanced Players’ Needs!
Yamaha’s P-series digital pianos are highly valued by pianists worldwide who seek the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with compact size and weight.
Compared to its predecessor, the P-225 is significantly shorter, slimmer, and features a compact design. It looks elegant from every angle, enhancing any room. For the space-saving body, we specially developed the new GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard with 88 keys, built to precise standards. It offers the same weighted, piano-like feel as the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard used in earlier P-series models.
The P-225 features the sound of Yamaha’s flagship concert grand, the CFX. It uses Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite technology to reproduce the expressive, nuanced tonal changes of a real grand piano. Whether you’re an advanced pianist or an enthusiastic beginner eager to learn, the P-225 is the perfect choice.
The Newly Developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) Keyboard Delivers an Extremely Realistic Playing Experience
One of the main concerns for pianists when buying a digital piano is the keyboard feel.
Pianists pay attention to whether they can sense the counterweight of the keys like in an acoustic piano’s mechanism, whether the keyboard responds precisely when playing faster passages, if there are discrepancies between the strength of the touch and the resulting tone, and whether the keyboard offers an appropriate dynamic range from soft to loud.
The GHS keyboard previously used in the P-series was highly praised by customers for its excellent balance and the aforementioned ease of play.
The newly developed, more compact GHC keyboard in the new P-series matches the playing comfort of its predecessors. Moreover, the keyboard is more compact than previous models while still providing an outstanding playing feel.
The Sound of Yamaha’s High-End Concert Grand, the CFX
This P-225 model offers the sound of Yamaha’s top-tier CFX concert grand, with brilliant highs and powerful lows. It is equipped with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite technology, which realistically reproduces the complex resonances produced by the strings of a grand piano and changes dynamically with each keystroke. With the P-225, you enjoy the sound of a concert grand played and loved by famous pianists, along with its infinitely realistic resonances. Naturally, this instrument does not require tuning.
Set Up the Instrument Wherever You Want or Simply Take It With You
One issue that bothers pianists is that traditional pianos are often too large for many spaces. Additionally, pianists cannot take their instruments with them. The P-225 offers the perfect solution to these problems. The stylish design of this instrument fits beautifully into any room and is available in black or white, depending on your preference. With the optional soft case, you can take this instrument to the studio, live performances, or on the road—whenever you need it.
24 Tones
The P-225 offers 24 tones. In addition to several grand piano sounds, including Yamaha’s premium CFX concert grand, you can choose from a wide selection of extremely useful keyboard tones such as Stage E.Piano, DX E.Piano, Jazz Organ, Strings, and more. The P-225 also includes E.Clavichord and Vibraphone sounds.
Titles
The P-225 comes with 71 pre-installed songs, including 21 demo songs suitable for every voice, such as grand piano, electric piano, various organs, harpsichord including jazz organ, E.Clavichord, vibraphone, and more. We recommend listening to these demo songs, which cover a variety of styles from simple classical to baroque masterpieces, R&B, pop music, and more. This gives you an idea of the possibilities the P-225 offers for your musical expression.
Whenever and As Often As You Want
One of the biggest advantages of a digital piano is that you can practice undisturbed and hear your playing only through headphones. At the same time, no family members or neighbors are disturbed by volume.
Recording, Metronome, and Rhythm Functions for More Fun and Efficiency in Piano Practice
If you want to listen to your playing objectively or practice only the right hand along with the left, the recording function is perfect for you. We also recommend using the metronome if you want to practice with a steady tempo. If you don’t want to play alone, rhythm accompaniment is available in styles like rock, pop, jazz, and bossa nova. This is also a great way to learn the rhythm of different styles.
20 Rhythms
If you want to listen to your playing objectively or practice only the right hand along with the left, the recording function is perfect for you. We also recommend using the metronome if you want to practice with a steady tempo. If you don’t want to play alone, rhythm accompaniment is available in styles like rock, pop, jazz, and bossa nova. This is also a great way to learn the rhythm of different styles.
Playback of Music via Internal Speakers with Bluetooth® Audio
The P-225 features built-in Bluetooth® audio functionality, allowing you to pair the instrument with your Bluetooth®-enabled smartphone or tablet to listen to your favorite music through the instrument’s speakers. You can play along on the instrument at the same time. No external adapter is required.
Sound Boost Function to Enhance the Instrument’s Sound
Have you ever felt during a band rehearsal that your sound gets drowned out by other instruments and lost in the mix? Don’t worry, the P-225 is equipped with a Sound Boost function that switches to a powerful, punchy sound in such situations. The P-225 offers new ways to enhance the instrument’s sound during playing and recording while audio data is played back on your smart device. Use these features when recording with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app or via Rec'n Share.
The Stereophonic Optimizer
With the Stereophonic Optimizer, you can enjoy the sound through headphones as if you were sitting in front of an acoustic piano. Thanks to the Stereophonic Optimizer, the sampled sounds of the acoustic piano seem to come directly from the instrument’s body. This provides a pleasant, natural sound experience and eliminates all unwanted headphone effects.
Easy Access to Instrument Functions via the App
When you connect the P-225 with the Yamaha Smart Pianist app, you can intuitively control all functions via your smart device’s screen. There’s no need to flip through the manual to see how different operations work.
*When connecting your smart device to a musical instrument to use the app, you can either use a cable or establish a wireless connection with the Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; iOS only).
Minimalist Design Inspired by a Grand Piano
The design of the P-225 pays homage to the classic aesthetic of a grand piano. It blends harmoniously into any home décor and aims to give the player the feeling of playing a grand piano.
A User Interface That Is Easy for Everyone to Use
This model uses physical buttons instead of a touch panel, so the main functions are easy for anyone to operate. Apart from the piano sounds, we selected only the most frequently used tones, including keyboard sounds like electric piano, harpsichord, and strings.
Two-Way Speaker System for Room-Filling Sound
The position and angle of the P-225’s speakers are arranged to replicate as precisely as possible the sound reflected by the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano. This placement offers the player a pleasant sound perception when the P-225 is placed against a wall. This instrument is also equipped with Tone Escapement technology to make the sound clearer and more audible, providing the player with the best acoustic balance. In addition to speakers that deliver brilliant and clear tones in the mid and high frequencies and pronounced bass, the P-225 is also equipped with tweeters that produce excellent high-frequency sound.
Practice with 303 Classical Music Pieces
The aforementioned Smart Pianist app includes PDF scores of 303 classical pieces for practice, such as Bayer, Burgmüller, Czerny, Hanon, and more, which you can view and use on your smart device’s screen.
A Sound Image That Remains Clear and Distinct Across the Frequency Range Even at Low Volume
Have you ever turned down the volume because you didn’t want to disturb your surroundings, only to find the sound unbalanced and playing less enjoyable? The P-series features Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which automatically adjusts sound quality to your volume settings. This technology makes it easier to hear the sound’s nuances by slightly boosting the volume of highs and lows to match the human ear’s characteristics, which typically struggles to distinguish higher and lower ranges at low volumes. The new P-225 now offers this function even when using headphones. This protects your ears and lets you play comfortably, even during long headphone practice sessions.
Relaxed Video and Music Recording and Online Sharing
If you want to record a video of your performance and share it on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, etc., Rec'n'Share is the perfect solution. Connect the P-225 to your smart device and simultaneously record video with audio to complete your video. (*A cable connection is required. Make sure to purchase the correct cable for your smart device.)
Special Carrying Case for Transport
If you want to take your piano on trips, to live performances, or to work, a specially made case (SC-KB851) is available as optional accessory. This case protects your instrument during transport.

Variant Yamaha P-225WH Stage Piano White
This rating has been translated automatically. Original language
1. it should be a little easier to use (the P-145 probably has more functions accessible only by keyboard),
2. the bass reproduction of the built-in speakers is said to be slightly better,
3. it has a line out (and 2 headphone outputs) which is useful if it is connected to a stereo system, for example,
4. it can play 192 instead of 64 tones simultaneously (polyphony),
5. it is available in white (fits better with our interior),
6. it probably has a wider music rest,
7. it has a few other extras such as slightly better sound processing, more sounds, split function, ...
I decided against products from other manufacturers because either the price-performance ratio was worse (Kawai / Roland) or because the quality seemed worse to me (Casio).
My expectations were fully met. I am very satisfied with the instrument. I have since purchased the stand and the pedal unit. I am also very satisfied with these.
