Who is the Yamaha P-225 best suited for?
The P-225 is a great fit for beginner and intermediate players, with touch and tone well suited to their repertoire. Its simple, user-friendly design makes it easy to enjoy at home, and at 25 lbs, 6 oz it is light enough to bring to small gigs or take on trips. Bluetooth audio and app integration make practice more engaging for players of all levels.
What kind of key action does the Yamaha P-225 have?
The P-225 features Yamaha's Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) action, with weighted keys that are heavier in the low end and lighter in the high end, like an acoustic piano. GHC keeps the same graded feel as Yamaha's GHS action in a shorter, more compact design. The black keys have a matte finish, and four touch sensitivity settings (hard, medium, soft, and fixed) let you match the response to your playing.
What piano sound does the Yamaha P-225 use?
The P-225 uses the CFX Premium Grand Piano voice, which recreates the power and rich tone of Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano.

Can I connect the Yamaha P-225 to a PA or amplifier?
Yes, the P-225 has dedicated 1/4" AUX OUT jacks (L/L+R and R) for connecting to a PA system, mixer, or amplifier.

Can I add a three-pedal unit to the Yamaha P-225?
Yes, the P-225 has a dedicated pedal unit connection and is compatible with the optional Yamaha LP-1 and FC35 three-pedal units, which are used with the optional L-200 stand.

You can connect with a cable, or connect wirelessly on iOS with the optional Yamaha UD-BT01 wireless MIDI adaptor.
Can I connect the Yamaha P-225 to a computer for recording?
Yes, the P-225's USB TO HOST port transfers both MIDI and audio over a single cable, making it easy to connect to your music-making software.
