P225 88-Key Digital Piano with Weighted Keys, Portable Design, Keyboard, Music Rest, Sustain Foot Switch, and Built-In Speakers, Black (P225B)

The Yamaha P-45 has an authentic piano sound and key feel that makes it easy to play. It's compact, sturdy, and only weighs 25 lbs. The price is reasonable for a quality Yamaha keyboard.

The weighted keys are great, speakers provide loud output but also sounds good with high quality headphones. Be warned that you will need to purchase your own headphone adapter. Overall great keyboard for anyone new music or for someone who practices everyday and needs something compact. It is fairly light weight which benefits its portability and with a nice stand it feels super sturdy. Seems like as cheap an entry price as you can get for the quality.

Got this for my wife for Christmas, as we had elected to sell her upright acoustic piano a while back due to the difficulties of keeping it in tune. I spent several days researching a few different Yamaha P-series models before settling on this one. While they are all excellent digital pianos, this one has a few features that make it worth the difference in price. They all have a great feel. Yamaha spent a lot of time getting the weighting on these keys to feel as much like their acoustic grands as possible, and having sat down at a C5 myself a few times over the years, I can say that their work paid off. This really does accurately capture the touch of a real piano. The other thing they spent a lot of time on was the sampling. Unlike a lot of much cheaper options, every individual key on a Yamaha grand was recorded for sampling, and each key is playing back its corresponding sample as opposed to saving a bit of space on a drive somewhere and using a single sample for a range of keys. This is most evident when you're wearing headphones and playing because you can hear the coloration of the sound provided by all the unique internal reflections at a particular string, and the little bit of sympathetic vibration of the surrounding strings that occurs in a real piano. Your immediate though might be that this isn't a good thing... but that's what real pianos sound like and part of why you can often hear the difference between a real piano and a cheaper digital copy. The other thing that stands the Yamahas head and shoulders above others is the touch sensitivity. There is a wide range of "velocities" available, allowing for nearly the same flexibility dynamically that a real piano has. The faster you press a key, the harder the hammer hits the string which changes the tone... except there are no hammers and no strings, just more magic in the sampling and playback process. Speaking of playback... this is the lowest model in their lineup that offers "full duplex" audio through the USB connection. This means you can connect the piano to a computer for MIDI capture or audio recording, but the computer can also play a backing track simultaneously that you can listen to through the headphones. This is an indispensable feature if you're planning on recording because it allows you to listen to a click (or whatever other tracks you might want) as you play and record. I have not yet played with the iPad app, but I'll update this review if there's anything worth noting. The only Not Amazing thing is the included sustain pedal. The P-225 ships with an FC5 Foot Switch "for sustain and other momentary (on/off) functions." It's fine. It works as advertised, but it is not elegant in any way. The biggest advantage it has is that it is exactly what it says it is, i.e. a "momentary" switch. It can be used for anything you might want to control with a momentary foot switch and can plug a 1/4" TS connector into. So, as a sustain pedal it is "functional"... but you can get creative with it and that's kinda cool.

This piano is amazing! The sound quality is rich and realistic, and the keys feel smooth and responsive, just like a real acoustic piano. It’s perfect for both beginners and experienced players. Setup was simple, and it looks great in my living room. I’ve been practicing every day since it arrived, and it has definitely inspired me to play more. Excellent value for the price — highly recommended!

Value for money: ’ve been using the Yamaha P-225B for a few weeks now, and I’m blown away. The modern, minimalist design fits perfectly into any space—sleek, compact, and definitely an upgrade from bulkier models. It looks as good as it sounds. Keyboard functionality: The graded hammer action keyboard feels fantastic—weighted just like an acoustic piano, giving it an authentic and expressive touch that makes practicing enjoyable and immersive. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the key response is spot-on. Size: What really surprised me is how lightweight and portable this piano is. I can easily move it between rooms or take it to gigs or lessons without a hassle—huge plus for anyone on the go. Functionality: And the sound quality? Pure Yamaha excellence. The piano tones are rich and dynamic, with a natural resonance that fills the room. Whether through the onboard speakers or headphones, it delivers a warm and professional sound that’s inspiring to play. Why did you pick this product vs others?: Highly recommend the P-225B for anyone looking for a stylish, realistic, and portable digital piano. Yamaha nailed it with this one!

Amazing keyboard. Wanted something with 88 keys and that was well made and real piano sound with the keys also feeling like an actual piano. This did not disappoint. My only drawback to this piano is the sound. The speakers point down under the piano and the noise level even making the adjustments you can make with the keys to turn up the sound to a higher level…I still felt like they could have added more to the sound depth to make it louder. Other than that great piano.

Se ve genial, espero sacarle mucho provecho, aunque aún soy principiante quería tener un piano digital para tener la mejor experiencia de este bello instrumento :D Agrego: Ya tengo un par de meses con mi teclado y estaba emocionada porque por fin podría usar mi suscripción gratis a flowkey que se menciona en un folleto incluido en mi pedido (solo me faltaba el cable para conectar el piano a mi laptop. Gran decepción me llevé al intentar activarla porque resulta que no está disponible en mi país (soy de méxico), pero siento que sería justo dado que compré el producto en una tienda de estados unidos, que respetaran este tipo de promociones o bien que hagan las aclaraciones pertinentes si saben que van a ofrecer el envío de sus productos a otros países con promociones que no serán válidas. Aún así mi piano me gusta mucho y trataré de sacarle el mayor provecho posible...

I bought piano blindly without touching it in the store because I like the sound and quality of Yamaha. The keys turned out to be very pleasant to the touch. It is convenient that the headphone jack is in front.

Ha solo 13 anni e studia pianoforte (ci voleva una pianola di qualità in casa loro), fa degli uncinetto deliziosi, ha iniziato da sé a studiare il russo, è bravissima a scuola, ha pagelle stellari... la tastiera Yamaha è il livello giusto di qualità, poi vedremo.

The Yamaha P-225B is an exceptional digital piano. The sound quality is outstanding, with rich, authentic tones that closely mimic an acoustic piano. The weighted keys provide a realistic touch, making it a joy to play. Its sleek, compact design fits perfectly in any space, and it's lightweight enough for easy transport. The built-in speakers are powerful and clear, and the various sound options and features, including recording and playback, are impressive. This piano is perfect for both beginners and advanced players. Highly recommend the Yamaha P-225B for its quality, performance, and versatility!
