![]() Today pretty much every digital piano from Yamaha under $1000 uses this key action. While other manufacturers are actively designing and introducing new keyboard actions, Yamaha seems to be reluctant to upgrade its popular Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action, which has been around for quite a while. The good news is that digital technologies are evolving very quickly nowadays, and one of the P-125’s new features is its compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, which makes it insanely easy to control all the instrument’s functions using an intuitive graphic interface (see ‘Connectivity’ section). Plus, there is a volume slider that allows you to gradually change the volume.Īs 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. There are 6 dedicated buttons for each of the sound sections (Piano, E.Piano, Organ, Strings, etc.) as well as buttons for a metronome, rhythms, and recording features. Some of them have little LED indicators built into them so you know which function is being used at the moment. There are a total of 14 buttons located on the front panel of the instrument. Now let’s talk a little bit about the controls. There’s actually a special setting called Table EQ that optimizes the sound when the keyboard is placed on a flat surface. With such a size, you can even put the P-125 on a table. The P-125 weighs about 26 pounds and is 52 inches wide, 11.6 inches deep, and around 6.5 inches tall, which is comparable to other portable pianos in this price range (Kawai ES110, Roland FP-30, Casio PX-160). The keyboard itself is fairly portable and can be easily moved around by pretty much anyone over 14. The color options available are black and white. The piano doesn’t come with a furniture style stand or a triple pedal unit, which are available optionally and great for those who decide to use the P-125 at home (see ‘Accessories’ section). The P-125’s minimalist design is completed with a red felt ribbon across the tops of the keys as well as an elegant curve on the front panel inspired by the Yamaha CFX Concert Grand. The piano is made of plastic and has a great build quality expected from a brand such as Yamaha. The case of the P-125 has been slightly redesigned and modernized, but otherwise, it’s still a very compact and relatively lightweight digital piano that’s suitable for home use as well as for gig situations. ![]()
