#P45 #P125 #Yamaha
Welcome to the Merriam Pianos RU-vid channel for another digital piano comparison video. In this video, we’ll be seeing how the Yamaha P45 stacks up to the Yamaha P125.
These are two of Yamaha’s top-selling models, and two of the most popular entry-level 88-note digital pianos. Is the P125 worth the extra money? Watch and find out!

Piano Overview:
Along with Roland’s FP series, the Yamaha P series is the most popular series of digital pianos on the planet.
Both the P45 and P125 are available for under $1,000 in most markets, and many folks considering an entry-level digital piano will of course come across both models.
What does the P125 offer to justify the higher price point? There’s actually quite a bit, and unless your budget is already stretched with the P45, it’s hard to see why most wouldn’t spring for the P125.
Price-wise, the P45 competes with the Roland FP10 and Casio CDP-S350, while the P125 competes against the Kawai ES110 and Roland FP30X.
Piano Sound:
A pretty big difference between the two instruments has to do with the speaker location and configuration. The P45 has two downward-facing speakers driven by 12 watts of power. Downward speakers can sometimes result in muddiness, but the P45 does a pretty job of avoiding this potential pitfall.
The P125 uses a 4 speaker, upward facing system, powered by 14 watts of power. This speaker configuration delivers significantly more detail in the piano sound. When you hear them one after the other, the P45 almost sounds like it has a pillow over it compared to the P125.
They also use different tone engines - the P45 uses the Advanced Wave Memory engine, while the P125 uses the Pure CF sampling engine. Along with the different engines, the P45 has a minimal 64 notes of polyphony, while the P125 has 192 notes.
The quantity of tones also differs, with only 10 on the P45, and 24 on the P125. The quality of the tones is much better on the P125 as well.
The P125 also has a solid auto-accompaniment feature, and while not as sophisticated as some other models in the price point, is more than serviceable.
Lastly, the P125 has a built-in audio interface for studio use, which the P45 does not.
Piano Action:
Both instruments use the GHS action. It’s not the top action in the class, but it is serviceable. The GHS action features a dual sensor, and does not have escapement.
One notable issue with this action is that the white keys can get feeling sticky very quickly, and can actually peel the skin back of the player. It’s likely many people won’t experience this, but if you’re a heavier player, you’ll want to keep this in mind.
Features/Connectivity:
Neither instrument has any Bluetooth connectivity, and the P45 is not currently capable with any apps from Yamaha.
The P125 is available with an optional matching stand and triple pedal system, and has dual ¼” outputs for professional settings.
Conclusions:
Despite being from the same series and using the same action, these two instruments are actually quite different. If the budget is tight, the P45 is a reliable option that will do the job, but if you have the budget, the P125 is more than worth the jump in price.

@stevesutherland8247 2 года назад

This has been by far the best comparison between the two that I've found so far. I bought a P45 a few months ago but I always felt it lacked something. And I mostly play with headphones due to working nightshifts and everyone else in the house being in bed when I want to play/practice. I've always found that when the house is empty and I take the headphones out the sound of the P45 isn't all that. I've been toying with the idea of upgrading for a few weeks and this comparison, along with a few others, has inspired me to go ahead and upgrade.

I own P45 for some time,I absolutely love it,the sound,the action,everything feels pretty good,at least for me,for an entry level piano it is very nice,if you are going to use it mostly with piano sound(s),but if you need better sound engine,better speakers,more sounds,also more features and Yamaha application connectivity it is definitely worth buying P125,and I will upgrade from P45 in the future🙂.That's just my opinion,but there are lots of happy users for both models.

None of what you mention matters if you hook it up to your computer and output the sounds to a good sound system.

In my country (Argentina) the Yamaha P125 have the same price that the Casio PX770, could be great if you can made a video comparing both. I saw the video of Yamaha DGX660 vs Casio PX770 but I dont know if the action and the sound quality of both yamahas feel exactly the same beetwen them to compare directly with the casio.

@ivan-qp4mi 2 года назад

I have (but soon will say I had) the P71, which is the same as P45, just Amazon version. I hate that the pedals can constantly move because they're not attached to the piano with a stand. I also had 2 broken keys - I had to open the piano twice to fix these with crazy clue and a piece of plastic from a bread clip (found the video to do that here on RU-vid). I also feel there better pianos out there. So, I just bought the Roland F701 based on reviews, the slim design, has all 3 pedals with the stand and it looks super nice and modern. It's packed with features. After 2 years I thought it was time to get an upgrade. But the P45 (and 71) are great pianos for beginners and I recommend it for the price, despite the issues I had with it...

@michaelngiam6270 3 года назад

Thanks Stu. Looking forward to the P125's replacement.

@Zoco101 3 года назад

Michael N: I don't think the P-125 will be replaced soon, but it should come down a few bucks in price as the P-45 is eventually put out to pasture. Yamaha needs to produce a light'ish piano for around U$1100 to compete directly with the Roland FP60X. It should include all the (now deleted) P-255 features, plus Bluetooth and more. Hope it happens. Currently, there is too big a gap between the P-515 and the P-125 in terms of price, functionality and weight.

@gustavopaulette3496 3 года назад

@@Zoco101 I have the Yamaha P255 and looking to upgrade. Do you think the Roland P90X is better then the Yamaha P515? How about the Kawai ES920?

@Zoco101 3 года назад

@@gustavopaulette3496 That's a very good question. I have the P-255 as well and rate it very highly. Unfortunately, hardly anybody can get their hands on an FP-90X or a P-515 to try one. I did try the ES-920 briefly and found it unexciting. To be fair, I thought the same of my P-255, and now I love it. I'd probably choose the P-515 over any other portable piano because of its firm action, its 16-track MIDI recorder/sequencer and the CFX sample. I think it's the ideal home studio piano and small gig piano, if you don't mind the weight. While I'd love to own a P-515, I don't think it can be a huge upgrade from the P-255, which is lighter to carry and really does everything I genuinely need right now. If the improved action really matters a lot to you, well that's enough reason to upgrade. Can you say what your application is? Maybe you need a stage piano instead of s portable piano. The P-515 costs around €1500. I don't think I'd want to spend much more on any dp, except maybe on a stage piano. So are you tired of your P-255? Often when people are disastisfied with their dps, the problem is amplification. Our hearing sharpens, and we realise what we are missing. I urge you to add a couple of studio monitors to your P-255 (home/studio use) if you haven't already. Even one helps a lot. It brings out the hidden colours of the beautiful CF sample. I have two very old MSP5s. With only 5s, I'm pushing the envelope, so to speak, but I get away with it. If you can afford HS7s great, otherwise get any clear-toned powered monitors and use them in addition to the (very reasonable) onboard speakers, which bring out the most of the piano very well. It's a question of outnumbering the problem. What one speaker misses, the other captures.

Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Thanks for supporting our channel! There are many Yamaha models that do not use the GHS action.

@PianoandKeysStudio 3 года назад

Thanks for this detailed and useful review. It was good to hear both in a side by side comparison. I don't know how it is in the US but in the UK I bought my P45 in 2016 for £140 less than it is now. I don't know why the price hike from Yamaha. My scenario: As a classical musician I opted for the P45 for its portability over my old P140 (2006). When the P125 came out I could see why it would be a worthy upgrade for many, but I still remained happy with the P45. Overall I managed to save £140 for an instrument that was better suited for me - lighter instrument, didn't have features which I didn't need and the default piano sound suited my playing more (The P125s default sounded too brittle for me). Both (esp. the P45) are ideal for carrying to sessions, gigs etc and for practicing. The P45 easily worked well as a piano to accompany ballet classes in a large church hall (tho the volume had to be turned up to max). It's 64 note polyphony would only be an issue in performing passages like the second movement of the Rachmaninov second sonata in concert, where there's a pedalled flourish toward the end and you didn't want any notes to cut out - not a problem however if you're only practicing the piece. The other issue was that I can only use the headphone jack for audio out and have to wear headphones from the computer which is not ideal for performing. But now that I have access to Synthogy Ivory 2 VST, neither issues are a problem for me. Both very good but very different instruments as you say.

@adamrobinson8620 2 года назад

Did you ever experience problems with polyphony? I actually wondered whether a single note can use more than one note of polyphony? For example, reverb, or simulating sympathetic vibrations? If not, then it’s hard to see why more than 88 note of polyphony would ever be needed for just piano.

@PianoandKeysStudio 2 года назад

@@adamrobinson8620 Sorry for my late reply. Yes, I think you're right. More polyphony is taken up with pedal or sympathetic vibration samples. Else in theory you shouldn't need more than 88 note polyphony. Even now I don't remember if my P45 has those extra samples, but no, I'd only notice the polyphony in that second movement - even then, still a musical result.

@PianoandKeysStudio 2 года назад

@@samuelb.n.skpeheii643 Hi - sorry for late reply. I think there is a slight price difference in USA - so not a straight up conversion, but about $500-550 for a P45 and around $750 for a P125.

Also see Bonner's review of the DGX-670

@JoeLinux2000 3 года назад

If you can afford it, and don't mind the heavier weight go for the DGX-670. The DGX is a great sounding instrument that packs a massive punch. It has chord automation features meaning the backing styles can be played with just 1,2, or 3 fingers of the left hand pushing adjacent keys. It's actually simpler than a conventional piano. This type of automation has been around a long time. I had a small Casio that could do the same thing probably 40 years ago. You can always use the DGX-670 as a standard piano without using all the extra buttons, bells and whistles. There's a single grand piano shaped button that can set it into piano only mode. I have a 670 on order, and have also decided to order the optional stand and pedal unit which makes it come it at around $1,000.00. If you are just a beginner maybe you should consider the new Casio CT-S1 keyboard. It's not weighted, but they say it feels good, and it obviously sounds great. Most of Bach's music can be played on the shorter keybed which is adequate for most purposes. Bonner's video on the DGX: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OrO5Olcv2W0.html Bonner's video Casio CT-S1 - It's the best sounding lightweight small sized keyboard I've ever heard. Again Casio has been making these great sounding little keyboards for very long time. I had one of their 1st small true synthesizers and it was great for its time period. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R1wmL-dzWW8.html I don't know where you live, but there are fantastic deals of used instruments on Craigslist. That's where you are going to get the most bang for the buck. Generally in my opinion it's a buyers market when it comes to used musical instruments. Just be careful. Some guy is selling a Kawai that he claims he doesn't have the power cord for. I wouldn't consider it without being able to fully test it out. Something is very fishy about not having the power cord for an instrument you are wanting to sell. Here's an interesting video comparing the Roland GO piano to the new Casio: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NZhaLtgI9ps.html

@MerriamPianos Год назад

Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Thanks for tuning in! We appreciate it. :) The sound is always going to be a variable in live situations as most venues are more sonically active, not to mention the fact you'll likely be running the piano through an amp or PA system. With that said, there is always a bit of adapting that needs to happen when switching to any action. However, I am sure within a gig or two, you would feel right at home with the new piano and its action.

Both of these pianos use the GHS action, but differ in other areas, which explains the difference in weight.

Yes! Both pianos feature touch/velocity sensitive keys. :)

@Merriam Music Hmmm, weird, I just went to a Guitar Center and neither I nor the employee could get velocity sensitive keys to work on the P-45. Is there a way to turn it off or on? Maybe this one was just damaged. I'll check a different GC today. Thank you!

Why does Yamaha not offer the p-121 anymore?

@MerriamPianos 9 месяцев назад

Like most digital pianos models, the P121 was eventually phased out after a number of years on the market. I am not exactly sure as to the reasons behind it, but it could have something to do with sales or a lack of popularity. Sub-88 key models are not quite as popular as full 88-key instruments in my experiences. They do have their place on the market of course as some musical situations call for a smaller instrument!

Sluggish, super slow and noisy action that starts making unintended clicking noises within a few hours and really poor dynamics and the worst customer service on the planet : Roland.

@user-xy8ec9nw3u 3 года назад

The opposite

@Pe6ek 2 года назад

Stage pianos absolutely have to be connected to either nice headphones or a nice amp. The built in speakers are always a joke. Also, forget about the Roland FP-10x, 30x or 60x if you want to be able to play a simple, slow trill or just don't want a unintentionally noisy action that Roland will call a warranty issue at first and a to be expected non-issue when they realize they can't fix it.

@JoeLinux2000 3 года назад

I found out the Roland Keyola was been around for at least 2 years: ru-vid.comvideos Stu presented it as something that was just released. Perhaps in his market, I don't know. I know they sell them at Piano Planet in Honolulu. There is another video that shows it being assembled. The so called furniture case is highly over rated. It's basically a plastic piano placed into a stand fabricated from wooden legs, with an awkwardly folding wood lid.

@@JoeLinux2000 Canada gets everything last. Not even by a little bit. As far as newly released digital pianos and acoustic anyway. There’s also just very little availability in general, and fairly few music stores in general, it’s a population/geography distribution thing. We don’t even have the Aures 500 listed as available on the Kawai website for Canada at all.

@ozturert 3 года назад

I tried P45. Somehow I liked the action after 5 minutes but after trying FP30 there is no going back to the lower-tier Yamaha action. There is no comparison. I see zero reason to buy P45 or P125 in 2021. If you like Yamaha sound or lower-level Yamaha action go and buy DGX-670 although it is more expensive. Today I'd go to Roland fp30x/60x instead, if I want a good piano and good action.

Ultimately, the tonal and dynamic output of any piano will always be heavily influenced by the player themselves and their particular playing style. With that said, we always strive to show as many of the tonal and dynamic possibilities that a piano offers. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out the video! :)

@joewger 3 года назад

The P125 and Kawai ES 110 pianos are outdated pianos. No real bluetooth, The Apps really only work with i pads/ phone that Japan thinks everyone uses. The action is old on the Yamaha and the Roland fp 30x blows them out of the water. They don't have a USB thumb port , and can't send sounds and rhythms to the keyboard. Bluetooth that just sends you tube music to a piano is about worthless. They don't have midi bluetooth either. The Casio psx 1000 and 3000 suffer from this also. Roland in it's price category smokes them! Roland is way ahead of the curve.

@magnifician21 3 года назад

I used to think like that when about to buy my first digital piano. I made a research for 2 weeks from various sources about the features, key actions, price, brands etc that got me even more confused. Then I realized that what mattered to me was the sounds that pleased my ears, because that's the reason I would buy a piano in the first place. So I decided to buy P125, although it was not even on my list before, but when after I accidentally clicked on P125 demo video that turned out to be favorite.

@Kyuuketsuki02 3 года назад

The ES110 is due for an update, but your information is inaccurate. It does have Bluetooth MIDI. The RHC action is a very good, responsive action, the Roland is only "better" if you prefer a heavier action and/or want let-off simulation. Also, I've heard reports of the PHA-4 developing issues over time like "clicking". Finally, many people dislike Roland's very bright, somewhat metallic piano tone, although I would say with the FP30X Roland has finally got their piano tone sounding rather good. I would still prefer to tone the brightness down a couple notches. Ultimately, there are multiple really good entry level options from Kawai, Roland, and Yamaha (though Yamaha in particular really does need to update their entry-levels, and the GHS action in particular). Not everyone has the same priorities or tastes, so declaring one option as objectively better is nonsense. It's just your opinion, man.
