YAMAHA P-145 or the P-225? Which one is right for you?

Yamaha has introduced two new digital piano models: the P-145 and the P-225. Which one is right for you? Both are in Stock Now at our Melbourne CBD Store. 

At Colemans Music, we aim to help you understand the key differences between these new additions. Let’s compare the Yamaha P-145 and the Yamaha P-225 to see what each one offers.

 

Pricing and Specifications The P-145, with its competitive price, offers a great value for its specifications. The P-225, on the other hand, is the higher-spec model, but what exactly does it offer over the P-145?

GHC Keyboard Both models feature a Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard, ensuring a high-quality touch similar to Yamaha's previous models. The compact design makes these pianos lighter and more portable, each weighing around 11 kg, without sacrificing the authentic feel of the graded hammer action.

CFIIIS and CFX Voices The P-145 includes a new sample from the CFIIIS concert grand piano, a favourite among many renowned pianists. The P-225, however, uses samples from the CFX grand piano, the same as those in Yamaha's premium Clavinova series. Additionally, the P-225 features Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite, which simulates the nuanced resonances of a grand piano.

Polyphony Polyphony refers to the number of notes that can be played simultaneously. The P-145 has a 64-note polyphony, while the P-225 offers a significantly higher 192-note polyphony.

Voices The P-145 comes with 10 voices, including dual and duo modes. In contrast, the P-225 offers 24 voices and includes dual, split, and duo modes.

Connectivity and Amplifiers Both pianos feature USB-to-Host MIDI, AudioSmart Pianist app, and Rec’n’Share app connectivity. They are also equipped with 7W x 7W amplifiers.
