  1. Appearance improvements:
    The appearance of the new YAMAHA P-125 is obviously different from that of the P-115. The panel part of the main unit is higher than the keyboard part, and an arc is used between the two planes to design excessively, which is more piano-like in the senses. Feel; the design of the speaker grille is also different from the P115;

    2. Three- pedal lift:
    Another obvious difference of the new P-125 is the suspended piano three-pedal assembly. The pedal material has been changed from the previous plastic to metal. The appearance, texture, and experience have been greatly improved compared to the previous model.

    3. Piano tone enhancement:
    The P-125 is still the PURE CF sound source, but Yamaha has optimized the main piano samples.

    4. The number of built-in sounds has been increased:
    The P-115 has only 14 presets, while the P-125 has 24 presets.

    5. Increased number of built-in rhythms:
    The P-115 has 14 built-in rhythm patterns, just drum patterns, while the P-125 has 20 rhythm patterns, complete with bass.

    6. Improvement of the speaker system:
    It is also a 12cm + 4cm speaker with a power of 7w. Yamaha used a new tweeter on the P-125 to make the high frequency part of the sound better.

    7. Addition of other functions :
    The P-125 has added a sound experience optimization function, which allows users to get a more three-dimensional sound effect when wearing headphones. The P-125 supports the Smart Pianist APP with more functions (previously, the P-115 supported the Digital Piano Controller).


The above 7 points are all the improvements and differences between the P-125 and the previous generation product P-115, I hope you will have a clearer understanding. If P-125 is not unexpected, it should be introduced to Hong Kong this year. Blessed are all piano friends.

Summarize:

Looking at the spec sheet, nothing seems to have changed, does it?

Yes, it looks like it's just a number of new features.

The most important keyboard and sound source have not changed at all,

But this is also certain, because Yamaha's digital piano is too rich,

What kind of specifications should each level present, it has already been tied to death,

If there are too many low-level revisions and upgrades, it will impact the value of the next-level model.

But the main change this time, the store manager thinks is the improvement of the speaker (speaker) position, which provides a better sense of space,

The direction is changed to one up and one down, adding what YAMAHA said: "The new "Table EQ" function "

Let it be placed on the table to have the best sound experience.

In the past, desktop electric pianos usually do not have the horn below, because the sound will be muffled.

YAMAHA's new Table EQ should be confident that you can adjust the tone of this part.

The second important change is the pedal material, from plastic to metal. Provides better pedaling feeling (right)!?

YAMAHA has always focused on the series above CLP, (CLP, CSP, CVP)

The P125 can almost be said to be the most entry-level electric piano from YAMAHA.

How much will the improved speakers add to the performance of the whole piano?

YAMAHA P125 store manager evaluation, tone audition:


✅ 88-key Progressive Hammer Standard Keyboard (GHS), feel comparable to traditional pianos
✅ The piano sound is sampled from Yamaha's top-quality CFIIS 9' grand piano, and the sound is natural enough
✅ New two-way speaker system that produces a wide range of piano sounds from both up and down directions
✅ The unique table EQ function allows you to get the best sound when playing on a hard surface
✅ Built-in Bass & Drum rhythm style, so much fun to practice

   

Yamaha released a new model of the P series: the P-125 electric piano. The new P-125 is similar in appearance to the P-115 but differs in many details, raised panels, different speaker grille designs, etc.

The new P-125 still uses the PUER CF sound engine, presets 24 kinds of high-quality tones including YAMAHA CFIIIS nine-foot piano samples, and the GHS weighted keyboard with matte black key surface;

In addition to the metronome, the built-in drum rhythm pattern has been increased to 20, covering pop, rock, Latin, jazz, etc.; the newly improved two-way speaker adds an EQ setting specially designed to fit on the desktop to ensure When the host is placed on the desktop, it also obtains good sound effects

After waiting for a long time, YAMAHA finally revised its P series,

Inherited the old version of P115, the current model of the new version is P125

It is still a lightweight portable electric piano, without a cover, a plastic body,

With the halo of the YAMAHA brand, I believe that the low-priced market after the listing can still maintain a strong advantage.

Function and Mobility

The P-125 is actually positioned as a stage electric piano, with multiple functions and a portable appearance, but YAMAHA also emphasizes that the P125 provides the playing experience of a traditional piano, with high dynamics, high-quality sound and natural piano touch.
