The new P-225 and P-145 are taking over the legacy of the P-125 and P-45 respectively, and are now more portable than ever, including many new features which will take portable pianos to a whole new level
Earlier this month, Yamaha announced the release of two brand-new additions to the digital P-Series: The Yamaha P-225 and P-145.
The P-Series was created for pianists who want the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with a more manageable size and weight. With a fair few models in the range to choose from, we wanted to dig a little deeper and find out what exactly makes these two new models stand out from the rest. Here are the THREE main differences 👇🏽
1. New Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) Keyboard
Both pianos have been given a keyboard upgrade from their respective predecessors. The new GHC keyboard offers even better response, in less space, offering the best weighted acoustic piano-like playing feel in its class.

2. Upgraded Piano Sound
Yamaha rarely sacrifices quality of sound. Now, the new P-225 features the sound of its flagship CFX concert grand, while in the P-145, you can enjoy the CFIIIS, the origin of Yamaha’s premier concert grand pianos.
The two pianos also incorporate a new speaker system that has been adjusted to replicate the sounds reflected from the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano as closely as possible.

3. Smart Pianist Compatibility
By linking the P-225 or P-145 with Yamaha’s dedicated Smart Pianist digital piano app, you can access all the piano’s features while also adding new possibilities for the player.
The P-225 is available for £883.20, while the P-145 sits at £610.80. You can find out more about both models here.
