Yamaha P-125 Portable Digital Piano - Slim, Dynamic and Powerful, for Hobbyists and Beginners, Black

Product Information

Equipped with a metronome, the P-125 helps players maintain proper timing and rhythm during practice. It weighs 11800 grams and can be easily transported to different locations. Graded implies that the keys feel heavier in the lower registers and lighter on the higher end, just like an acoustic piano.

While it does have its pros such as small size and weight, if your main focus is piano playing, you’d probably want something more realistic. Metronome: You can configure the metronome not only for tempo, but you can also edit what beat the main “chime” is on (the default is 4, you can change that to 3 for 3/4, 2 for 2/4 etc). While setting the metronome is done with key combinations like on many other pianos, the numbers you use are clearly labelled, and you get a helpful voice indication of not only what you choose, but if you need to confirm your current tempo you can easily get a voice confirmation of that as well If you’re an experienced player though and feel that you would need all three pedals, take a look at the Yamaha LP-1 triple pedal lyre that’s also compatible with the L125 stand I mentioned earlier. Despite its simple and extremely portable design, the Yamaha P-125A boasts incredible performance that you would not expect from a portable piano. What’s even more important, this pedal supports half-pedal operation, which will allow you to play more advanced pieces and develop your pedaling technique.The whole piano weighs only around 26 lbs and is 52 inches wide, 11.6 inches deep, and around 6.5 inches tall, which is a pretty flexible size, and you can easily place it on a table or a desk. When Would I Recommend The Casio PSX Series: If battery operation is critical to you & you are ok with the unique action and sacrificing rhythms and a good onboard user interface, then the PSX-1000 might be a good option for you. If you also want to have arranger functions and would be excited about hundreds of sounds and rhythms, then the PSX-3000 would be a good option for you to consider. Connect the instrument to Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, and you’ll find new ways to enjoy the P-125, including touch control of the features of the instrument via your mobile device, and even the means to discover the chords from songs in your iTunes library, to help you learn your favourite songs! Our Thoughts on the P125A Unfortunately, the P-125 has traditional shiny plastic keys and doesn’t offer any textured material on them. As you can see, there are plenty of buttons, but there are even more functions and features on the P-125, so you’ll still have to use “ Button + Key” combinations to access most of them.

Newly upgraded, the two-way speaker system in the Yamaha P125A produces expansive sound both upwards and downwards. The amount of polyphony on the P-125 has remained the same ( 192 notes), which is more than an average digital piano in this price range has (128 notes).For the P-125, Yamaha has designed a wooden furniture stand ( L-125) that is also compatible with the Yamaha LP-1 triple pedal unit. Thanks to its powerful 4-speaker sound system, the P-125 actually provides a very good dynamic range from the softest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo. When you reach the polyphony cap, the piano starts to drop the earliest played notes to free up memory for new notes, which in turn affects the quality and fullness of the sound.
