Key Features

  • Does it sound like a real grand piano? Yes—it uses the exact sound of the Yamaha CFX concert grand, the same $200,000 piano played in Carnegie Hall.
  • Will I build proper piano technique? Graded Hammer Compact action mimics real piano weight—heavier bass, lighter treble—so you develop correct finger strength.
  • Can I practice with headphones without losing quality? VRM Lite simulates string resonance so headphone practice sounds natural, not flat or artificial.
  • Will it fit in my small apartment? Only 26 pounds and 52 inches wide—slides against a wall or moves between rooms easily.
  • Can I connect it to my phone or computer? USB connection works with Smart Pianist app, recording software, and learning apps—your phone shows chord charts and controls settings.
  • What is the polyphony count? 192 notes means you can play complex pieces with sustain pedal down without notes dropping out.
  • Does the sustain pedal work like a real piano? Half-damper pedal control lets you partially sustain notes for subtle expression, just like an acoustic grand.
  • Can I split the keyboard for duets? Split Mode divides the keyboard so teacher and student can play side-by-side in the same octave range.
  • Can I layer sounds together? Dual Mode combines piano with strings, choir, or other voices for richer solo performances.
  • Is there a stand available? Optional L-200 wooden stand and LP-1 three-pedal unit transform it into furniture-quality setup.
  • Can I practice with backing tracks? Bluetooth audio streams music from your phone through the piano speakers—play along with any song.
  • Does it have a better metronome? Built-in drum rhythms replace boring clicks with actual band grooves in rock, jazz, and ballad styles.
  • Will it sound good when I play with other musicians? Sound Boost feature adds power and presence so you cut through when playing with guitars or other instruments.
  • How does the speaker system work? Two-way speakers face front and rear to create dimensional sound like an acoustic piano, not just flat forward projection.

Yamaha P-225 - Your First Real Piano, Finally Affordable

See Why the P-225 Is the Best-Selling Beginner Piano

Two grand pianos with transparent tops revealing the intricate internal string and hammer mechanisms against a beige background.

The Same Grand Piano Voice Used by Professionals

Concert Hall Sound Without the Concert Hall Price

The CFX concert grand costs $200,000 and fills the world's greatest concert halls. Yamaha recorded every note of this legendary instrument and put it inside the P-225. You get the exact same rich, dynamic tone that professional pianists play on—for a fraction of the cost. No compromise on sound quality, just a smarter way to get it.

Weighted Action That Feels Like an Acoustic Piano

Keys That Build Real Piano Technique

Practice on cheap keyboards and you will learn bad habits. The P-225 uses Graded Hammer Compact action—heavier in the bass, lighter in the treble, just like a real piano. The synthetic ebony and ivory keytops give you grip when your fingers get sweaty during practice. You will build proper finger strength and technique from day one, so when you sit at any acoustic piano, you will feel right at home.

Natural String Resonance Even Through Headphones

Headphone Practice That Does Not Sound Fake

Most digital pianos sound lifeless through headphones—notes feel disconnected and sterile. The P-225 uses VRM Lite technology to simulate how piano strings resonate and interact with each other. When you hold down the sustain pedal, you hear the sympathetic vibrations of all 88 strings, just like on an acoustic grand. Late-night practice sessions finally sound as good as daytime playing.

Full 88 Keys in a Space-Saving Design

Fits in Small Apartments Without Sacrificing Quality

You do not need a dedicated music room. The P-225 weighs just 26 pounds and is only 52 inches wide. Slide it against a wall when guests come over, move it to another room when you need space, or take it to a friend's house for a jam session. It is a real piano that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Optional Wood Stand Turns It Into a Permanent Fixture

Start Portable, Upgrade to Furniture-Quality Later

Not sure if you will stick with piano? Start with just the keyboard on a table. When you are ready to commit, add the matching L-200 wooden stand and LP-1 three-pedal unit. Your portable keyboard transforms into a beautiful furniture piece that looks like it belongs in your living room. You get flexibility now and permanence later.

Built-In Drum Rhythms Keep Practice Engaging

Practice with a Band, Not Just a Boring Click

Metronomes are useful but soul-crushing. The P-225 replaces the mechanical click with actual drum patterns—rock, jazz, ballad, and more. You practice with a virtual drummer keeping time, which makes scales and exercises way more fun. You will actually want to practice because it feels like playing with a band, not drilling exercises alone.

Two Sounds at Once for Solo Performances

Layer Piano and Strings for Instant Richness

Want your playing to sound fuller? Dual Mode layers piano with strings, choir, or other voices simultaneously. One key press triggers two sounds, creating the lush arrangements you hear on recordings. You sound like a better player instantly because your music has professional depth and texture. Perfect for church performances, recitals, or just impressing yourself.

Free Apps Show You What to Play and How

Your Phone Becomes Your Piano Teacher

Connect your phone via USB and open the free Smart Pianist app. It shows chord charts for your favorite songs, adjusts settings with a tap, and even slows down music so you can learn it. The app also streams audio through the piano speakers—play along with YouTube tutorials or Spotify backing tracks. You get instant access to thousands of lessons and songs without buying expensive books.
