## What reviewers say

Only one whitelisted tester (MusicRadar) published a hands-on review of the exact P-225; no Sound on Sound coverage was found. MusicRadar praises the restored USB audio, CFX grand sound and compact GHC action, but flags hard-to-reach rear ports, a higher price, and an action that is 'no backward step' yet no big leap over the P-125a's GHS. (Based on 1 review, 2023-09-06.)

Praised: Restored USB audio recording, fixing the P-125a's omission, plus Bluetooth audio streaming; Yamaha CFX grand piano sound with VRM Lite sympathetic resonance modelling; Compact GHC weighted action stays convincing and satisfying to play; matte keys grip well; Sleeker, slimmer and lighter design than the predecessor.
Flagged: Rear connection ports sit in a deep recess that is very hard to reach when set up; More expensive than the P-125a it replaces; New GHC action is no meaningful step forward over the outgoing GHS.
Disagreement: Single whitelisted source, so no cross-source comparison is possible. Even MusicRadar is internally ambivalent on value: its reviewer found the older P-125a's default piano 'brighter and grander' than the P-225's more mellow CFX voice, and concludes 'the jury's out' on whether the upgrades justify the price increase.
