The Yamaha P-125 White is a discontinued yet widely available compact digital piano known for its authentic feel with Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted keys and rich sound quality based on the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. It has largely been succeeded by the similar P-125a model and the newer P-225, but the original P-125 model is still available from some online retailers.
Key Features and Specifications
The Yamaha P-125 (model P-125WH for white) offers a realistic playing experience and a variety of features in a portable design.
Keyboard Action: It features the GHS weighted action, which is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, mimicking an acoustic piano feel. The matte finish on the black keys absorbs moisture for a better playing experience during extended use.
Sound Quality: The piano sound uses the Pure CF Sound Engine, which faithfully reproduces the tone of a meticulously sampled Yamaha 9′ CFIIIS concert grand piano. It includes Damper Resonance DSP and String Resonance features to recreate the sympathetic vibrations and reverberation of an acoustic piano.
Speakers: The P-125 is equipped with a high-fidelity 2-way speaker system (7W + 7W amplifiers) and a unique “Table EQ” feature to ensure optimal sound when placed on a flat surface.
Connectivity and App Integration: It offers USB-to-host connectivity that supports both MIDI and audio transfer, a key difference from its successor P-125a, which is MIDI-only. It is compatible with the free “Smart Pianist” app for easy control of settings and features from a smart device.
Additional Features: Includes 24 instrument voices, 192-note polyphony, 20 different rhythm patterns, a 1-track song recorder, and a Stereophonic Optimizer for a natural headphone listening experience.
