Beginner and intermediate players will find the touch and tone perfect for their repertoire, and the portability of the P225 means you can take it on those coffee-house gigs, or bring it to the cottage with ease. The Smart Pianist app gives you a modern user interface to access all of the features in the P225 while the Rec N Share app allow you to record your practices and performances directly to your smart device. This makes sharing to your social media platforms quick and easy! Review: Excelente teclado - Hasta ahora todo bien. Cuando lo use más tiempo volveré a contarles. Pero de entrada es un teclado super bonito, sencillo, buen sonido, al tacto se siente como un piano. Es grande y algo pesado tendré que comprarle una base más resistente 😅 Review: The YIt's a professional-grade instrument in a highly portable and stylish chassis. - The Yamaha P225B is an absolute game-changer in the world of 88-key weighted action digital pianos, and a massive step up from its already excellent predecessors. As a player who values both authentic feel and superb sound for gigging and home practice, this instrument is everything I could ask for. Keyboard Quality & Feel (Functionality/Sturdiness): The new Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keys are truly impressive. Yamaha managed to make the keyboard more compact without sacrificing the realistic, graded feel you expect from an acoustic grand. The matte key finish is a lovely, non-slip touch. The action is remarkably quieter than older GHS actions, which is a huge benefit for late-night practice with headphones. While all compact actions have a shorter pivot point, the GHC on the P225 strikes an excellent balance, feeling solid and responsive for both fast passages and nuanced, soft playing. Sound Quality (Functionality): The inclusion of the flagship Yamaha CFX Concert Grand sound engine is the real star here—a feature typically reserved for much higher-end models. The main piano voice is rich, dynamic, and powerful, especially in the bass range. The Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite adds an incredible layer of sonic realism, subtly changing the tone and resonance based on your touch, just like a real acoustic piano. The two-way speaker system is also a significant upgrade, delivering a clear, full sound that works well for small rooms. Build & Design (Build Quality): The P-225 is sleeker, shorter, and lighter than the P-125, making it a dream for the gigging musician. The new, more modern chassis looks fantastic, and despite the reduced bulk, it feels robust and well-built. The simple interface is intuitive for quick changes on the fly. Verdict: This is the ultimate portable digital piano for beginners, serious students, and professionals needing a lightweight stage setup. It offers features and sound quality that punch far above its price point. If you're looking for an authentic acoustic piano experience that won't break your back or the bank, the P-225 is a worthy investment you will not quickly outgrow. Highly, highly recommended. ## Features - The Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard action uses weighted keys to replicate the acoustic piano experience, with a compact design that saves space without sacrificing authenticity. - The CFX Premium Grand Piano voice delivers the dominant power and rich tonality of the flagship CFX grand piano. - Virtual resonance modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the piano strings and body in real time, as they would respond to the unlimited factors present when playing an acoustic piano. - The half-damper pedal gives you more control over the piano's hold, allowing for nuanced changes and expressive performances. - With the Smart Pianist app you can take your piano to the next level. This app allows you to control all the functions and access additional functions that go beyond what the instrument can do alone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CBN7HYKB | | Age Range Description | All ages | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | 3.5mm Jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 298 Reviews | | Finish Type | Painted | | Headphones Jack | 3.5mm Jack | | Instrument | Digital Piano | | Item Dimensions | 132.6 x 27.2 x 12.9 centimeters | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 141D x 36.1W x 21.3H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Weighted action digital piano with power supply and sustain pedal | | Item Weight | 11.51 kg | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Manufacturer Part Number | P225B | | Model Name | P225B Digital Piano | | Model Number | P225B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Keys | 88 | | Number of keys | 88 | | Power Source | AC Adapter | | Size | Compact | | Skill Level | All | | Skill level | All | | Special Features | Headphone Jack, Weighted Keys | | Special features | Headphone Jack, Weighted Keys | | Style | Digital Piano | | Supported Software | Smart Pianist app | | UPC | 889025142588 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Colour:** Black - **Number of keys:** 88 - **Skill level:** All - **Special features:** Headphone Jack, Weighted Keys ## Images ![Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61U6QapiqAL.jpg) ![Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617bAS6voYL.jpg) ![Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dJXrszESL.jpg) ![Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5187MkpB3OL.jpg) ![Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gqgpkyOmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how is this p225b different from the p225?** A: The letter right after P225 may be B or W. It tells you keyboard's body color whether Black or White. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente teclado *by J***N on 27 March 2026* Hasta ahora todo bien.

Honestly, there’s not much else to say—it’s a great option for the price, and we’re really happy with it. My husband, who has played for years, loves it, and as a beginner, I find it easy to learn on. We bought a foldable stand, but it doesn’t leave much space to reach the pedal, so we might upgrade to a better stand for easier access. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha P225B, 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Power Supply and Sustain Pedal, Black (P225B) - Liquid Stands Portable Heavy Duty Digital Piano Stand & Bench Set - Adjustable Keyboard Music Stand & Seat for 54-88 Key Electric Pianos - BEATBIT Piano Notes Guide for Beginner, Removable Piano Keyboard Note Labels for Learning, 88-Key Full Size, Made of Silicone, No Need Stickers, Reusable and Comes with Box (Rainbow Colors） --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/679600788-yamaha-p225b-88-key-weighted-action-digital-piano-with-power](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/679600788-yamaha-p225b-88-key-weighted-action-digital-piano-with-power) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
