As an owner of the same Yamaha p-125, I was stunned by the totally different sound he’s making from it. So I don’t need $6,000 high tech digital piano but only need to practice more... got it!
Hey Jacob, great video! You're very talented. I have also lived in Rochester, NY - it's a small world ... I still kind of miss the city, perhaps, except for winters. ;-) Best wishes for your career! I have a quick question - I have absolutely no experience playing any instrument and have never studied music formally. However, I very much love music and would like to learn to play piano for myself and perhaps for occasional entertaining friends or a company. However, I'm afraid that I might either fail in mastering the instrument (for example, in achieving hand independence) or lose interest in playing. From that perspective, would you suggest to get necessarily a 88 weighted keys instrument (for that, I'm torn between P-125 and DGX-660) or a decent 61 non-weighted keys instrument (such as Casio CT-X700, which sounded pretty good to my non-musical ear)? I have a tight budget, so I cannot splurge on Tyros or Genos :-). Even buying P-125 or DGX-660 would be a tough financial decision, considering potential loss of interest in playing, hence my mention of CT-X. I would appreciate your advice on the above.
I played the P115 on stage since it first came out and I have to say it did very, very well. I then purchased the P125 when it came out. This is one fantastic keyboard. I have been playing it on stage for the past year and it does absolutely great. I just can't get over why they keep calling this an entry level keyboard? Lets bee honest now, the average person that will come to a lounge or nightclub to listen to a live band, couldn't tell the difference between ANY of the pianos in this same class. It is a bit heavy I must say, but aside from that I would recommend this to beginner or professional. Thank you for allowing me to post my opinion.
By itself it weighs a bit more than 20 lbs. If you weigh under 130 lbs. and are not under 35 years of age, it is heavy. I love this piano by the way. No regrets about my purchase in February from Sweetwater.com.
I own both P115 and a P125. its crazy but the P115 has a better feeling and more realistic action and nicer sound imo!! Yamaha claims its exactly the same action but its not. It feels slower and less like a real piano on the P125. P125's CFIII grand (default piano) also sounds brighter and I'm not a fan. You can hear this difference on youtube demos too!
Technology has taken music creation to an entire new level and I don't see it stopping any time soon. From stand alone units like this to software based plug-ins for DAWs, the limit is only based on your ears and pocket book. Great demo.
Thank heavens someone does a review and actually lets you hear the thing before talking about it ! Some reviews prattle on for most of the time without letting you hear it .
Just ordered mine today.❤ got almost 20 years experience on an old upright and cheap keyboards, (started playing when I was 5) and figured it was time for an upgrade. This sold me. Thanks for the review!
@@user-xd4sk4pk7h Mostly because I dont like the feel of the keys on the CLP 635. They feel too heavy and not smooth enough imo. Also they make waay more noise then the keys on the P125. Its crazy!! I love the feel of the P125 and I prefer the piano sounds too. The main piano sample of the P125: a Yamaha CFIIIS grand, sounds much better than the CFX grand sample on the CLP 635 imo. The other two piano sounds on the P125 are really great too. So yeah.. thats why I switched to the cheaper one. Its a great piano. You will love it!
When he said that with headphones you can hear same sound like you listen into the room this is Totally True First time I used it I thought that headphone was not working. then I take it off my ears then I realize that the sound were the same very impressive :) I love my P125
I agree! Excellent review. He was not interested in hearing the sound of his own voice like most reviewers but actually showed us features of the app with practical examples. Well done sir! I already decided to get the P125 but now I'm getting that app too.
He has great dedication to muscle memory and a typical traditionally trained instrumentalists; a clone. It’s one thing being able to technically play an instrument to the instruments capabilities, but it’s another thing being able to transpose emotion, which I didn’t feel.
I know I was bummed waiting on the Kawi ES110, but after listening to him play and seeing some of the initial features. I am not as bothered as I was. Mine will be here Weds.
Thank you for removing the frustration of buying a digital piano. I'm a classical pianist looking for a grand piano sound, without the "clicking" noise in the keys. Definitely sold me.
Dude!!!!!!! you are amazing. I was almost sold on the Yamaha p125 but after seeing what can be done on it I am willing to wait the two months on back order to get it. BRO you rule. give this guy a raise.
guys I've had Yamaha P125 for about a year now and honestly don't look anywhere else if you need a good portable piano for everyday practice and for stage too. If you are a beginner it could be a little pricey but if you plan on studying and improving your skills this is definitely a smart choice. I had absolutely no hardware issues so far i think that is due to the simplicity of the device. Works perfectly with windows 10 although finding the right midi driver could be a little bit of hassle. For mac (garage band) users again no issues there, works great. Bottom line, great piano for day to day use. Highly recommend.
Tigran Tashchyan do you mostly play classical music? I’m leaning towards es110 simply because of a richer piano sound, but at the same time I feel like I might miss out on the yamahas features. Guess what I’m asking is - is Yamaha’s sound enough to enjoy complicated classical pieces? (When I master them lol).
@@avetik32 I am playing only classical music and it sounds pretty good,it has a rich sound as well (never played es110 can't really compare) but at the same time it is nowhere near an acoustic piano. I'd suggest to actually go to the store and try them to see which one you like better.
Tigran Tashchyan yeah, makes sense. I know it by no means is an acoustic, but besides classical I’m into more genres, so by the looks of it the 125 will work just fine for me. Shnorakalutsyun for the reply :) best of luck
This video is what sealed the deal for me to go with the P-125, as well as order from Sweetwater! Love my purchase and their customer service! Secretly trying to remotely mimic what Jacob’s playing; the easier parts of course! 😂
Metal Frets I really like my P-125! I also considered the DGX-660 because I like a lot of its additional features and sounds. However, the speakers, quality of Voices, and lighter weight mobility made me go with the P-125. It feels like a legit keyboard you could learn, perform, and record with. I watched a lot of reviews including comparisons and found the P-125 was the better fit. I’m using an X stand and wanted to be able to move it around easily vs being more stationed. Check out this video and his channel, he really helped me! He has in depth reviews of all popular keyboards and pianos, including individual reviews of the 660 and 125. Hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/dN10K0S7jIY/видео.html
This was amazing, you are a fantastic player - and what a great way to really show off all of the features, and just the sound of this keyboard. 10/10 - will be purchasing this, but will only be .75% as good.
Great review, Jacob! You should have mentioned that there is a 73 key version of the P125, known as the P121, which is (feature-wise) identical in every way to the P125. Being less wide, it's even more portable than the P125, which might be important for those for whom portability is a major factor in their purchase decision.
I’m almost on the verge of tears. A feeling hit me very deep! It’s like when I was a young teen feeling the soul music of Beethoven I would play him work All of the time. He is a beautiful inspiration and has been for a long time💘 And today, you became my 2nd Known inspiration since then. Idk how it’s possible but your work sounds similar of how I exactly play. It’s relatable to my own; expressing through the piano. I can hear your song in some high spirits, soothing soul music, some reminding me a new growth of my creative side within myself 😀💜Dont ever give it up!! It’s helps you also spiritually heal with God xoxo
Bought one in white a few mintues ago from Amazon. $706 (Including *TAX* of $56.87!) free delivery in two days. Sunday, Tuesday I'll be unboxing it. Watched 6 1/2 minutes and realized it's the best purchase of my life. I bought a Yamaha pedal for my Casio WK-500 and it's reversed sustain, but will be better for this keyboard than the cheap one they include. I'm a developer (homes) so I can build a really cool stand with the wood & tools I already have.
This has a lot of bells and whistles. I was looking at the p-45 for my daughter but think this is worth extra 100 dollars. She is not that advanced yet but is very tech savvy and makes up her own songs. I think the iPad smart piano app is great!
@@tha_akey8229 nicee, oh yeah i bought mine too haha it came in on the 28th. Its amazing bro. I had to get used to how heavy the keys were but the sound is amazing !!!! Only its not really that bright inmy opinion. I love everything but the sustain pedal it comes with makes a clicking noise so i will have to buy a new one. The Yamaha FC4A
in my opinion the sooner you invest the better, im a beginner also and i bought a really old yamaha for $20 and my friend has this piano in the video and its completely different to play
My daughter has completely avoided synthesizers and electric pianos for her whole life; and really wants the weighted keys to feel right. She started goofing off with one of these at Guitar Center, and broke down to buy her first electronic instrument. For $700, it really outperforms her acoustic piano. She's thinking about headphone practice in a dorm now. She has played the church pipe organ before; so the organ selections are pretty cool too.
Jason sold me on this piano. The Smart Pianist app is great, too. I connect to GarageBand in my iPad via USB and in an audio track I am able to record the native sounds, not just MIDI as the User Manual claims.
I’m really excited to to get this keyboard sometime soon. I’ve been playing guitar for like 20 years and have always wanted to learn piano. It’ll be a struggle though since I learned guitar by ear/tabs lol
First of all, YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE AND VERSATILE PIANIST! I could listen to you all day! ----- I'm going to try to find an email address to send you my question.
Umm so I got a P125 recently, upgrading from the P115 and I watched this video to get an idea of the functionalities of my new piano, and this guy such an amazing pianist, I saved this just to hear his skillful playing. I get that you work for Sweetwater, but I’m hoping you are also touring, soloing, recording on people’s albums (or your own) because wow! I have been playing since I was four (I am 50 now) and I can’t even figure out the notes of what you’re sampling, much less adapt your styles perfectly to the different sounds on the piano. Does this guy ever flub notes? It’s perfection. 🙏🌈🎶🎶🎶
Hello , it may be a bit out of context but im about to buy a piano and im very confused rn , i guess u have been there too , im undecided between Fp30 and p-125 they both sound good to me , im more into classical music so do u think the p125 does well with classical?
This is such a cool demonstration. Your choices of which tunes to play for each voice were spot on. Loved the "Superstitious" and "Con Alma" snippets. The Rock Loop tune sounds like "Sweet Home Alabama." The whole video and especially the app functionality makes me want to suck it up and shell out the additional 300 bucks over the P45B.
So many beautiful moments in this video. My favs: 6:04, 6:45, 10:15, 11:07

This is the best p125 review on youtube because you actually use the piano, all the features and not only a salesman telling us basic information for defaut. Thank you from Chile
Hi, Kye. That is a great question! The adapter used to connect the piano to the iPad via USB is the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter kit from Apple. The App is free as well, so that will allow you to really release the full potential of your keyboard. Let us know if you have any other questions! Maryann Shirley, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1774, maryann_shirley@sweetwater.com
This App is compatible with Yamaha Digital Piano CSP-150/170 (The app will be compatible with P-125 and other instruments at next updates of V2.2, which will be planned to be released at June 2019.) Please refer to the compatible Android device from below URL. download.yamaha.com/files/tcm:39-1193040/
still can't fathom why they never made an android app at release.. I went with a good midi controller and Native Instruments Noire and never looked back.
15:33 is the coolest feature i need now, record directly to a file (wave or midi). Thankfully the app is available on Android as well, I've checked this. Worth a buy?
Hello, Steve! The P-125 can indeed play rhythm tracks without the app. This is accomplished via the Rhythm button itself. More on that on page 20 of the manual here: jp.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/1204365/p125_p121_en_om_a0.pdf Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
Hi, Pablo! Great question - yes, the P-125 can be used as a USB-MIDI controller with GarageBand, or any other DAW that supports MIDI controllers. Feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks for the interest! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Wow, I laughed at my 50 years of "cool"" playing, Ha, Ha, teared up because of the beauty of the music, and was, Absolutely amazed, by your abilities, while still being inspired. What an asset you are to Sweetwater as well as all music!!!!! Also as a short finger Guy with now a 1/2 inch of lost right pinky, I was smarting off of ALL you guys that have those enviable God given long hands! You rascal!

"Con Alma" at 5:12, easily one of Dizzy Gillespie's most beautiful tunes. Nice playing, Jacob, very soulful. 😉
I was blown away how impressive this guy plays. Like stunned and mesmerized - the camera angles were awesome.
I think this guy could make any digital piano sound great ! What a talent 😉
I came for the review, I stayed for the piano playing.
that's how we got then years older, and one year advanced musically. Oh well Nothing's perfect! small price to pay

I was pretty good but quit playing for 3 years because of my basketball life. I’m back at it bro you can do it as well!
Gooo keyboard synth. Classic Piano is laughably boring.
I’m really excited to to get this keyboard sometime soon. I’ve been playing guitar for like 20 years and have always wanted to learn piano. It’ll be a struggle though since I learned guitar by ear/tabs lol
One freeking great pianist
I wish i can buy your talent too alongwith the yahama 125p ....
You make any keyboard look the best ... even if it's not ...
You are really good
You give me the motivation Im ordering this keyboard now
First of all, YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE AND VERSATILE PIANIST! I could listen to you all day! ----- I'm going to try to find an email address to send you my question.
I've been playing on and off for almost 45 years (half a century), 30 years longer than this guy is old judging by his face. Ask away.
Idk why but the foot tapping makes me happy
Umm so I got a P125 recently, upgrading from the P115 and I watched this video to get an idea of the functionalities of my new piano, and this guy such an amazing pianist, I saved this just to hear his skillful playing. I get that you work for Sweetwater, but I’m hoping you are also touring, soloing, recording on people’s albums (or your own) because wow! I have been playing since I was four (I am 50 now) and I can’t even figure out the notes of what you’re sampling, much less adapt your styles perfectly to the different sounds on the piano. Does this guy ever flub notes? It’s perfection. 🙏🌈🎶🎶🎶
Hello , it may be a bit out of context but im about to buy a piano and im very confused rn , i guess u have been there too , im undecided between Fp30 and p-125 they both sound good to me , im more into classical music so do u think the p125 does well with classical?
Nice demo the sound is spot on
sweet video. This guy makes great videos. Love when he rocks out around the 14:!5 mark.
This is such a cool demonstration. Your choices of which tunes to play for each voice were spot on. Loved the "Superstitious" and "Con Alma" snippets. The Rock Loop tune sounds like "Sweet Home Alabama." The whole video and especially the app functionality makes me want to suck it up and shell out the additional 300 bucks over the P45B.
awesome presentation by an awesome musician!!
Thank you sooo much.Your clip helps me a lot! You r amazing piano player too.👍
Boy knows how to play and move his body! Very helpful thank you!!
So many beautiful moments in this video. My favs: 6:04, 6:45, 10:15, 11:07
This is the best p125 review on youtube because you actually use the piano, all the features and not only a salesman telling us basic information for defaut. Thank you from Chile
Fun demo!
Great playing.
I wish it had a "balance" between layers. The slow strings are nice, as the Prophet 5 pad. And we ALL wish it had 5 Pin MIDI!
Does this guy have his own RUclips channel? Amazing skills!
Yes Carmen. He has his own channel. Here it is. ruclips.net/user/jazzmanjake2010videos
Excellent. What is the adapter to connect between iPad and the keyboard? Is the software free from Yamaha?
Hi, Kye. That is a great question! The adapter used to connect the piano to the iPad via USB is the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter kit from Apple. The App is free as well, so that will allow you to really release the full potential of your keyboard. Let us know if you have any other questions!

This App is compatible with Yamaha Digital Piano CSP-150/170
(The app will be compatible with P-125 and other instruments at next updates of V2.2, which will be planned to be released at June 2019.)
Please refer to the compatible Android device from below URL.

still can't fathom why they never made an android app at release.. I went with a good midi controller and Native Instruments Noire and never looked back.
When you want to see review on Yamaha P125 on this video, suddenly forgot because his amazing talent
Dude can kill it!🎶🎹
Wow. This man just went bonkers on this keyboard. I had to back up and listen again! Don’t hurt it!Don’t hurt it!
fantastic demo, thanks!
Great review!
15:33 is the coolest feature i need now, record directly to a file (wave or midi). Thankfully the app is available on Android as well, I've checked this. Worth a buy?
Great review and fine playing
It sounds beautiful and I’m going to buy one👍🏻
Great review, thank you!
I just bought this piano along with some of the other options. I agree with this guy's review (with a touch of flexing HAHA!)
Great job !!
Question: Can it play a simple drum beat, as an advanced metronome, without he app ?
Hello, Steve! The P-125 can indeed play rhythm tracks without the app. This is accomplished via the Rhythm button itself. More on that on page 20 of the manual here:

I've had mine for a month now and I love love love it.
@Bezad Compani How is it trash? Bet you can't even play first of all and I have this piano and it's amazing
Is this a good keyboard for beginners? I’ve been wanting to learn piano for so long and really want some of your guys opinion?
Yes, it is a good piano for beginners has 24 sounds and good features
I second that, def a good keyboard for beginners.
I have 115 and very happy with it. Wishing I now had this 125 as it's cheaper and better
What on earth is a beginner. Either u can play or u can’t.
@@siphondhlovu1153 someone starting to play idiot
P115 came out in 2017 then P125 came out in 2018 ... Is P135 coming out this year?
😑
Samriddhi Saha Maybe in 2020 / 2021. 😀
@@Marian1st. maybe😊
Is the P135 really a thing? It’s 2020 but I haven’t heard of one being released
MsStarryEyed The way things are going, I’ll be surprised to see a release this year.
Ok nevermind. I see that you, Mr Dupre, are already a film composer and have played with a lot of people. You’re amazing!! 🙏😁🙌🌈🎶
Beautifully done review video, you are so talented. ** QUESTION ** can you connect this to and control with GarageBand?
Hi, Pablo! Great question - yes, the P-125 can be used as a USB-MIDI controller with GarageBand, or any other DAW that supports MIDI controllers. Feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks for the interest!

Wow, I laughed at my 50 years of "cool"" playing, Ha, Ha, teared up because of the beauty of the music, and was, Absolutely amazed, by your abilities, while still being inspired. What an asset you are to Sweetwater as well as all music!!!!! Also as a short finger Guy with now a 1/2 inch of lost right pinky, I was smarting off of ALL you guys that have those enviable God given long hands! You rascal!
RIP to your pinky
