Our take on the Yamaha P-225 88-Key Digital Piano - Black Essentials Package

The Yamaha P-225 is a slim, portable 88-key digital piano built around Yamaha's GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard and the CFX concert grand sample. It is lighter and more compact than the P-125 it replaces, and it adds a dedicated metronome and Bluetooth audio. Beginners and intermediate players get a realistic touch and a clean piano tone; gigging players get a board that is easy to carry. Against the Roland FP-10 and Casio PX-S1100 it trades some speaker power for portability and app support.
