Product details
Yamaha P-225B Portable Digital Piano – Black
The Yamaha P-225B Portable Digital Piano combines the expressive sound of a premium concert grand piano with a compact, modern design. Finished in elegant black, it features an 88-key Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard with matte black keytops, delivering a weighted playing feel with heavier resistance in the lower register and a lighter touch in the upper register. Its Yamaha CFX concert grand piano sound provides rich bass, clear highs and expressive tonal detail, enhanced by Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) and key-off samples for a more realistic piano experience. Lightweight and space-saving, the P-225B is suitable for home practice, music lessons, recording studios and live performances.
Beyond its piano sound, the P-225B offers 24 built-in instrument Voices, including electric pianos, organs, strings and other sounds for exploring different musical styles. Its 192-note maximum polyphony supports complex passages and sustained notes, while four reverb types add depth and ambience. Dual mode allows two Voices to be layered, Split mode assigns different sounds to the left and right sections of the keyboard, and Duo mode divides the keyboard into two sections with matching octave ranges for shared practice. The instrument also includes 50 preset classical songs and 21 Voice demonstration songs, along with 20 rhythm patterns, a metronome, transpose and tuning functions. Intelligent Acoustic Control helps balance the sound at lower volumes, while Sound Boost improves clarity when playing alongside other instruments.
Designed for flexible everyday use, the Yamaha P-225B features USB TO HOST connectivity for MIDI and audio communication with compatible computers and smart devices, as well as stereo AUX OUT connections for external sound systems. Bluetooth audio is available in supported regional versions, allowing compatible devices to stream music through the piano's speakers. Its two 7 W amplifiers power a speaker system comprising two oval 12 × 8 cm speakers and two 5 cm speakers, delivering clear sound in a compact body weighing approximately 11.5 kg. Two headphone outputs support quiet practice, and the instrument is compatible with the optional L-200 stand and LP-1 three-pedal unit for a more traditional piano setup.
