Yamaha P-125a Digital Piano Overview

Yamaha

Description

The Yamaha P-125A redefines the concept of an accessible digital piano. For starters, it delivers the renowned tone of Yamaha's acclaimed CFIIIS concert grand piano. What's more, its GHS weighted-action keyboard is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, providing the dynamic feel of hammers on real piano strings. For the ultimate in realism, the String Resonance and Damper Resonance DSP features recreate the sympathetic and reverberant sounds inside a grand piano when the dampers lift from the strings. A full complement of performance features and USB connectivity offer ample flexibility whether on stage, at home or in the studio. All told, you'll be hard-pressed to find an affordable digital piano that outperforms the Yamaha P-125A.

Authentic Grand Piano Tone

At the heart of the P-125A is Yamaha's Pure CF Sound Engine, which faithfully reproduces the tone of Yamaha's renowned CFIIIS 9' concert grand piano. With 88 notes meticulously sampled, the P-125A allows for incredibly dynamic and expressive playing. Whether practicing classical pieces, playing jazz, or creating your own compositions, you'll experience a rich, resonant grand piano tone with each and every note.

Weighted Keyboard Action

The P-125A features Yamaha's acclaimed GHS weighted action with matte black keytops. The keyboard is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, just like an acoustic piano. This graduated weighting provides the dynamic feel of hammers on strings for an authentic playing experience. The matte finish on the keys prevents fingers from slipping during dramatic performances.

Advanced Features for Expressiveness

For the ultimate expressiveness, the P-125A offers String Resonance, which recreates the sympathetic vibrations of other strings when the damper pedal is pressed. Damper Resonance DSP simulates the reverberation inside a piano's soundboard when the dampers lift from the strings. Key-off samples capture the delicate nuances produced the instant a pianist's fingers lift from the keys. The result is an incredibly rich and complex tone that faithfully reproduces the sound dynamics of an acoustic grand piano.

Connectivity and Flexibility

The P-125A offers USB to Host connectivity, allowing connection to recording software and music apps on Mac, PC and iOS devices. It also features a 1/4" headphone jack, dual headphone outputs and built-in speakers. Use the P-125A's Sound Boost to enhance volume and EQ for small venues. The Duo mode splits the keyboard into two halves, each with their own middle C, ideal for student/teacher or duo piano performance.

    The piano, Rhodes, DX7-type piano, and the other few sounds of the P-125 are better quality than any one sound that you'll find the more expensive Roland RD-88. Apparently, Yamaha elected to give you higher quality sounds rather than a larger variety of different sounds. If you care a lot about the actual piano SOUND, then the P-125 is a great board. Keep in mind that only the P-125B has audio outputs to connect to a monitor, PA, or to record direct. For me, that is a must. AFAIK the P125-A does not have auxiliary outputs. The sustain pedal that comes with this piano is basically a toy to get you started. But, a Yamaha FC4A sustain pedal is only about $26. Some people complain that the key action is heavy, but I don't have a problem with it. Making the switch to an acoustic piano will be that much easier.

    The Keyboard is fantastic, Have had mine for 6 years. Have not had any problems at all. The one thing that I am not a fan of can be pretty irritating. If you are using the speakers that come with it, the bass comes in a good bit stronger than the treble notes. Bass drone not good.
