I can understand that. Initially I bought the 125 because on the TV and computer it initially sounded better to my ear. But not at home. I bought the 225 and had it side by side with the 125. As soon as I realized that I could change the touch and sound with the "easter egg" touch adjustment there was no contest.
The biggest difference is in the piano sounds. The others, E piano, CL/Vibe, Organ, Strings, etc are idential between the two models. I had both home side by side and returned the 125. The 125 sounds good but sounds like an electric piano! The 225 is MUCH warmer in the Grand Piano sounds. **BUT HERE IS A PRO-TIP... One the 225, if you hold down the piano selector button, if you them pr the highest octave C, not only will the touch become a bit lighter, but BRIGHTER AS WELL.** The Piano/high D will give a heavier touch and warmer sound. That trick will, also apply to the other voices throughout, but to a lesser effect. My selection of the 225 was confirmed when I had a chance a few days ago to play a Yamaha acoustic grand piano. If you're a novice like me you'll perceive the action to be pretty similar to a real grand. If you're a pro, probably not so much. But the sounds in the TH-cam recording are pretty close if you listen on headphones or good monitors.
@@Xonatron It's simple. Hold down the "piano" selector key and press the "C" key, on octave down fromm the very highest C. To go back to a slightly heavier touch and warmer setting hold the piano selector again and press the D key one setup about the C key mentioned above. I think C# is in the middle, but I don't use that setting because it hardly noticeable enough. But you can try that too.
I have a P125, and from what I could see watching this video with an Alesis reference monitor, many sound samples are the same in both models, but with a different equalization, with the exception of the Piano timbre which sounded different, I even think than by the new key mechanism and VRM for resonance.
They do sound similar unless there was 10,000 dollars the difference might as well go the cheaper one. Or the one that has better inputs and output technology cables Bluetooth etc
Good comparison. Usually the CFX is quite bright, but in the 225 it has a much more mellow tone, which I would prefer. Are these sounds from each keyboard recorded from line outs or from speakers?
In a way I wish that I had purcchased the 515 (or later) as there are many different piano sounds that can be had via app. CFX, Steinway, Bosendorfer sounds can be had on the more expensive pianos. But the 225 sounds so great I no longer play my spinnet in my living room.
Si eres principiante, tus oídos probablemente no van a notar la diferencia, así que ve por el que cumpla con tus expectativas en cuanto a diseño y precio. yo diría que el P 125 tiene mejor acción y tenerlos altavoces apuntando hacia delante. Son una ventaja en cuanto a la calidad de sonido
Thank you. once again. You´re right .The P125 sounds good,but it is a powerful electric piano,if you listen to it many times. The 225 is like a real piano.I´m in love!!!@@anthonypanebianco22
They both sound amazingly good. Seems the 225 has a somewhat less bright, more subtle but also richer sound. But they both sound great. So how do the actions compare? Is the new compact GHS any better? I've tried the original GHS on the P45 and was not impressed.
New GHC is less noisy, smoothly and best dynamics feeling than GHS especially the ones on P45 (the entry level) this new one sounds better! ;) p225 is great!!!
I thought exactly the same about GHS after trying a P-45 next to my P-255, for several days. There was no way I could play rapid arpeggios on the P-45. But then, I tried a P-45 next to a P-121. Both have GHS, but there was a perceptible difference. This was enough to persuade me to buy a P-121 (same as P-125, but fewer keys) as my travel piano. No regrets! In fact, I will use it on all of the easier gigs to save lugging something heavier (and too long) about.
@@Zoco101 Thanks, P121 has been on my list too, but it's now discontinued. Hopefully Yamaha will release a P221. Regarding the GHS on P45 I guess it's maybe a cheaper version. Unfortunately I don't have access to a P125 or P225 to compare. I would never buy the P45 because of the keybed, but if the more expensive versions have a better GHS it would be an option.
Excelent comparision!! :D A question, which piano sounds louder? I love sounds of both pianos, I see that Yamaha P125 has small speakers...but it sounds as louder as the P225?
I'm curious about the connections because the P-125 is pressed right up against the P-225, and this all seems to be recorded by lineout. How did the cables fit? Actually, it would have been good to confirm the recording method. In this demo the P-225 does sound nicer to me. I know that the P-125 Grand Piano tone is sometimes described as brighter or less warm than those on some other dps, but it does have four CF grand piano sounds. For this type of music on the P-125 I would probably select the more closed and intimate piano sound (variation 2 out of 0,1,2,3) and this is equivalent to the "GP3 classic piano" on some earlier Yamaha models also featuring CF samples.
Same cables for L&R instruments and same audio card, direct to Logic Pro X. No editing. Real playing, no overdub. Just replace the audio camera from the video. P225 sound smoother and nice, with more dynamics in the pianissimo, also the keybed is less noisy and more calibrate.
White is good. It hides the scratches better, and doesn't fade. But I wouldn't pay extra money over colour, not in a budget piano. My P-121 is black because that was cheaper. My P-255 is white because it was the same price for white.
Thanks for your comment! I think p125 have more focus on the mid range, p225 have more dynamics, more fluid and less noisy in the keybed, both piano are very good, just try and feel what is your way. 😇
Hey, great vid! Considering where are the speakers located (at the back for 225), would the test change much if I have them both against a wall? Thanks!
I am a beginner. I purchased p-225 on 1st March 2024,after researching on various models. Learning Scales.
I’m the same only started last week. Learning scales soon.
I still feel the 125 sounds better!!
I love both! 😇 I have p125 and it sound very good. P225 sound good also, I think more balanced in the dynamics expression
I can understand that. Initially I bought the 125 because on the TV and computer it initially sounded better to my ear. But not at home. I bought the 225 and had it side by side with the 125.

How about the speakers in the two models? It's so important to the pianist.
I like the sound of the lower white keyboard, seems richer to me.
True!
I don't think it sounds richer. I think it sounds sharper more crisp which I don't like
@@virgilgray i suggest you to try it in your local seller ;) P225 is a joy to play!
Me too 😅😅😅😅😅

We use the same Pro Tips :) especially for the electric piano sound ❤️
I want to learn more about this trick. Is it changing EQ settings?
@@Xonatron It's simple. Hold down the "piano" selector key and press the "C" key, on octave down fromm the very highest C.

@@stantonkramer2986 Thank you. I may install the app to get better visuals of this.
Verdadeiro significado de tanto faz hahahaha boa tocada! 👏👏

The piano sounds are smoother and deeper in term of dynamics, also E.Piano sounds better Imho

Same volume! Try also Sound Boost Function on both model! :)
Same? Oh excellent!!! And what's about the key-action? Is there a difference between p125 and p225 in their keys?
@@Emanuel_Rosado p225 action is smoother and more fluid, less noisy
Yes I agree 👍
Soundboost only works with headphones. FACT.
225 is more round , harmonocs and 3D , eyes close and good earphone you can note, but it isnt so huge

I use two different keyboard stands so the cable connections are safe and hidden from the camera 🎥
What do you think of the color white? is it beautiful ? Does it change over the years?
It’s perfect over the years, I’ve also a beautiful p115 white, still perfect 😇❤️
White is good. It hides the scratches better, and doesn't fade. But I wouldn't pay extra money over colour, not in a budget piano. My P-121 is black because that was cheaper. My P-255 is white because it was the same price for white.
Yes
私には125の方がきらびやかさがあり、はっきりした前に出る音の印象が良いと感じましたが、どうでしょうか！🤗
Thanks for your comment! I think p125 have more focus on the mid range, p225 have more dynamics, more fluid and less noisy in the keybed, both piano are very good, just try and feel what is your way. 😇

Grazie amico mio, sei un tesoro 🤗
125の良さが顕著です。225はマイルドすぎで明朗さないです。
Try also Sound Boost in both models
🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

Hey, great vid! Considering where are the speakers located (at the back for 225), would the test change much if I have them both against a wall? Thanks!
I think 225 sound better ;)
🎹vs🎹
P125 : 2 Speakers above + 2 speakers below P225: 2 speakers behind. P 125 sounds much better.
Sound different, p225 keybed is more fluid and less noisy and speakers position give different feeling, more dynamics
Thanks a lot.In fact I´m thinking about a Korg LP 380.@@anthonypanebianco22
you´re right...All the best!!!@@anthonypanebianco22
´ll buy a P225.It´s CFX!!!!!!THANKS
I bought the 225.CFX sample,amazing sensitive keys.Thank you!!
Vs
그랜드 피아노에서 제일 차이가 많이 나네요
Also Elettric Piano is better on p225 ❤more closer to the original one 😊
