Yamaha P-125 Reviews
Main advantage:
This is one of the most versatile Yamaha pianos in terms of sound, since it has the Pure CF engine. Thanks to this, you will be able to hear the original timbre of the CFIIIS, an excellent concert piano.
Main disadvantage:
The sustain pedal included in the package is very simple, so you may have to purchase a professional one for best results. However, this does not affect the realistic sound of the piano.
Verdict: 9.7/10
If you want to play an electronic instrument that looks like a grand piano, this may be the right choice, since it has GHS keys, so low notes are heavier than high notes.
Main Features Explained
rhythms
Before reviewing the opinions of users who have already bought it on the Internet, know this feature. It is a piano with various drum and bass rhythms, so that you always play the instrument in time. This means that the piano will accompany you while you play a song, which is especially useful when you don’t have a band and you perform live.
As for the various styles we can mention Shuffle, Gospel, 8BeatBallad and 6-8SlowRock. This last one is for Slow Rock and together with the previous ones it belongs to the Pop&Rock category.
Likewise, we mention other styles widely used by various pianists, for example, jazz, samba, bossanova, rumba, salsa, etc. This way, you can use different types of accompaniment, depending on the style you’re playing. You will even have two rhythms for Christmas music and another for marching, which makes this digital piano a very complete instrument to liven up parties, anniversaries or other activities.
Some of its sounds are taken from real acoustic pianos, for example, the classic Yamaha CFIIIS, which is widely used for solo concerts. But none of this would be possible without Yamaha’s state-of-the-art Pure CF sound engine. She offers a high level of quality regarding dynamics and expressiveness, which makes the performance more emotional.
music learning
This digital piano is useful for your musical learning, especially if you want to train as a virtuoso pianist, since it has a very wide 7-octave keyboard and includes the extra notes of B, B flat and A at the beginning. These are low notes that will be used to make deep basses and better harmonize various songs.
The number of octaves influences the price of the product, but this should not be an impediment for you, since the most important thing is that the piano helps you learn music properly. Of course, it is a piano with which you can also play if you are a professional and you offer many concerts, since its sound is high fidelity.
Similarly, this model offers compatibility with the Smart Pianist application, which will allow you to select rhythms and voices from the screen of your tablet. Due to this you will enjoy a more attractive and intuitive user interface.
Also, in the application it is possible to save your settings and use them at any other time. Also, you will be able to discover the chords of the audio tracks that you have on your iPhone or iPad quickly, so if you are a beginner, this application will be very helpful.
As if that weren’t enough, this app provides metronome, song recorder, and piece scanning, so you can multitask by touching your device’s touch screen.
Design
This might be the best Yamaha piano out there, because it offers a compact, lightweight design that’s easy to transport. At 132.6 cm long, 29.5 cm deep and 16.6 cm high, you can easily install it in your home. In addition, it is possible to place it on the piano stand or the table, since its two speakers emit the sound in all directions of the hall or the room.
Likewise, it has a weight of 11.8 Kg, therefore, it will not demand too much from your car if you want to transport it in the trunk. However, do not do that without first putting it in a padded case or hard case, to extend its useful life.
Its external finishes are of high quality, offering elegance wherever you install and use it. The reflection of light on its surface is not very high, so it will protect your eyes so that you can concentrate much more on the keys while playing.
On the other hand, it should be noted that it has 88 keys GHS,GHS, which means Standard Graded Hammer. This provides heavier weight in the lower keys and lighter keys in the high keys, giving the feeling that you are playing a grand piano.
