Yamaha P-225 sound test

[@Xonatron]

This is the piano I just purchased last week. I would have chosen the P525 had it not been for cost.

@@Xonatron P-525 is very good (I liked the action very much) but it was too much for me (including weight that is above 20kg). I think that P-525 is a good choice. I currently do not have a digital 88 key keyboard at home. I practice some piano pieces using CK61 but I will need to get something soon. As I said, I like CK61 more than YC61 and Hammond XK-4 (I had both) but without access to C7 I would have needed to get a digital piano.

Would you recommend the keyboard? Any downsides?

[@mfurman]

@@Elazarko I would recommend it. You just have to be aware the the keys have shorter pivot (not much shorter) than GHS keyboard action and it may be slightly more difficult to press them closer to the fulcrum

[@Elazarko]

@@mfurman I've seen others mention this as well, so that's good to know! I'm also considering the Kawai ES-120 and Casio PX-3100. I'll need to try them in-store to compare both the key action and sound quality.

@@mfurman I'm used to the Yamaha GHS action from our older Clavinova, which is from the year 2001, so I might lean toward Yamaha for that reason alone. Anyhow I should go compare these models in store.

[@mfurman]

@@Elazarko Great idea. It is always the best to just check it if possible.

Hello! P145 has the same GHC keybed action as P225, what you can tell about its minor model? Thank you

[@mfurman]

It has the same keyboard but does not have audio auto outputs and does not have MIDI audio. There are fewer sounds, no accompaniment, no recording and Digital Audio Interface is only 16bit
