Product details
Concert-Grand Expression in a Slim, Versatile Piano.
The Yamaha P-225B combines the portability of the P Series with the sound and functions serious learners and experienced players expect. Its 88-key GHC keyboard delivers graded acoustic-piano-style resistance in a compact mechanism, with four touch settings to suit different playing strengths.
Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand Voice, VRM Lite and 192-note polyphony bring greater detail and resonance to demanding repertoire. Add 24 Voices, 20 rhythms, two-track recording, Bluetooth audio, USB audio/MIDI, dedicated AUX outputs and a two-way speaker system for a flexible piano suited to home practice, lessons, recording and performance.
Key Features
88-key Graded Hammer Compact action
Yamaha’s GHC keyboard recreates the heavier response of lower notes and lighter response of upper notes in a space-saving design. Matte black keytops and Hard, Medium, Soft and Fixed sensitivity settings help translate controlled technique into expressive dynamics.
Yamaha CFX sound with VRM Lite
The principal Voice is based on Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand, delivering brilliant treble and powerful bass. VRM Lite recreates the changing sympathetic resonance of a grand piano, while key-off samples add natural detail as notes are released.
Clear, expansive two-way speaker system
Oval main speakers and dedicated tweeters are positioned to balance the low, middle and high ranges, even when the piano sits close to a wall. Tone escapements improve clarity, while Intelligent Acoustic Control keeps the sound balanced at quieter volumes.
24 Voices, 20 rhythms and two-track recording
Explore acoustic and electric pianos, organs, strings and other useful sounds. Layer or split Voices, use Duo for lessons, practise with rhythm accompaniment and record one two-track MIDI Song to review parts separately.
Bluetooth audio, USB and app integration
Stream compatible-device audio through the piano and play along. USB TO HOST carries 24-bit stereo audio and MIDI, Smart Pianist provides visual control and practice resources, and Rec’n’Share can capture video with the instrument’s audio when connected by cable.
Portable design with performance-ready outputs
At approximately 1,326 × 272 × 129 mm and 11.5 kg, the P-225B is easy to position or transport. Two headphone sockets support quiet practice, while independent L/L+R and R AUX outputs connect directly to external amplification or recording equipment.
