Yamaha P-225B - Portable Piano  

Yamaha

Yamaha was founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Japan when he made his first acoustic organ. Yamaha was very passionate and soon started making pianos and grand pianos. He was the first in Japan to make pianos. In its development process, this progression and innovation was always present. Through the past century and a half, the company has expanded enormously towards all kinds of instruments. Their first acoustic guitar hit the market in the 1960s, and they have been constantly improving and innovating instruments ever since. The innovation that Torakusu Yamaha contained is still visible in Yamaha's instruments today.

The P-Series

The P-Series contains a wide range of affordable and high-quality digital pianos. The pianos also look very professional and sleek. All pianos have a natural piano touch and high quality sound. In addition, they are specifically designed as compact and affordable digital pianos that mimic an acoustic piano well. All pianos are portable, making them easy to transport. This makes the P-Series pianos very suitable for beginners and advanced pianists.

The P-225

The P-225 is the successor to the popular P-125. The P-225 has a more compact body as it is shorter and lower in height. This makes it easy to transport and takes up little space! The P-225 can be linked to Yamaha's Smart Pianist app. This makes it possible to use all functions via your smartphone or tablet. The app also comes with over 300 free pieces of classical sheet music.

Acoustic Experience

The P-225 is specifically designed to mimic the playing feel and sound of an acoustic piano. The piano features Yamaha's innovative GHC keyboard. This stands for Graded Hammer Compact which means these give the same playing feel as weighted acoustic piano keys. This also makes the sound sound much more authentic. In fact, weighted keys are more sensitive and better sense the nuances of your playing. This is then translated into a more nuanced sound. The P-225 also has VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) which makes the sound even more expressive. In addition, the P-225 features high-quality sounds, including the sound of Yamaha's CFIIIS concert grand piano. The P-225 thus contains professional sampled sounds. So these sounds are clear and full with a wide range. Want to make the sound even richer? You can do so with the damper resonance function!

The benefits of a digital instrument

But why buy a digital instrument that mimics an acoustic instrument when you can also buy an acoustic instrument? Digital instruments certainly have their advantages! Firstly, they are a lot more compact and transportable. An acoustic piano has a huge sound box because all the individual strings have to fit inside it. With a digital piano, of course, this is not necessary. So they take up much less space and are a lot less heavy. This also makes a digital piano a smarter choice for the pianist who often needs to transport their piano. Moreover, a digital piano does not need to be tuned. In fact, an acoustic piano needs regular tuning and this can be a lengthy and pricey process. Also, with an acoustic piano, you are stuck with the same sound and volume. A digital piano contains a wide range of different sounds and features, and can even be used with headphones!
