Your Personal Piano

A portable digital piano with authentic feel despite its compact size

The Yamaha P-125a digital piano is so compact that its authentic, dynamic piano sound must be experienced to be believed. Featuring Yamaha’s tried-and-true 88-key GHS keyboard, this wonderful instrument delivers beautiful sounds and a satisfying acoustic piano playing experience. The slim, refined design makes the P-125a a fine addition to any room in the house. The lightweight, compact main unit fits everywhere and goes anywhere—even small live music venues. It is equipped with everything you need to practice and perform in your own way, from app compatibility to a headphone jack, preset rhythms, and more.

Genuine Yamaha piano quality in sound and touch

The piano sound of the P-125a is based on the Pure CF Sound Engine, which faithfully reproduces the sound of the renowned Yamaha concert grand piano based on carefully recorded samples, delivering enriched tone attuned to how softly or intensely you play. Enjoy the same broad range of expression you would on a grand piano. It is the result of over a century of acoustic piano craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art technology and expertise.

In addition, the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) 88-key piano keyboard provides a heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, so it can be played with the expressiveness of an acoustic piano.

MAIN FEATURES

The lush experience of full immersion in grand piano-like sound

When a grand piano is played, the entire instrument resonates, and the sound spreads both upward and downward. The P-125a is designed to mimic this property of grand pianos so that the resonance envelops you as you play.

The speakers for the higher register emit sounds instantaneously to improve the response of the instrument. This makes it easy to perform classical music as well as jazz, pop, and other genres where the sound needs to hit hard and fast. The speakers for the low register emit deep, rich sound that belies the compact body of the instrument. We optimized the balance between these 2-way speakers to simulate clear sound quality and stereophonic resonance from attack to decay in all registers. This allows you to enjoy playing in a grand piano-like sound field.

P-125a stand and pedal for different situations and playing styles

The product line features a P-125a stand (L-125) and three pedals (LP-1)—including the rightmost damper pedal, which is compatible with half-pedaling—for more nuanced performance when you want to play classical tunes at home. The compact case makes the P-125a easy to transport as well, and for that, we offer a keyboard bag designed specifically for the P-125a.
