Yamaha P155 Review
According Stephen, “I just got my P155 and it is great! I thought I was happy with my P80, but now I am totally spoiled. The P155 is very responsive and this is a clear advance over the P80. I couldn’t be any happier and I’m ready to take it with me and leave the P80 at home.”
Now, Yamaha does have several excellent digital pianos, such as the P80 and the P140, which are probably the most successful models in the last years.
But the Yamaha P155 blows the competition out of the water, even the competition from Yamaha itself.
After trying several pianos from Yamaha and other manufacturers, p120player made the following comment: “Then I went back to the P155 again to make sure I wasn’t hearing things, and again I was not disappointed. It was just a pleasure to play. The dynamic range of the sound came out so easily (but not too easily). It must be the best Stage Piano sound in the $1000-$2000 range. The sound together with the cool features/buttons sells me.”
Yamaha P155 Digital Piano – The Good and The Bad
Although Yamaha P155 is really a marvelous piece of technology, there are some flaws. On the one hand, some people complain that if you want a keyboard with a ton of instruments, the Yamaha P155 is not for you. Some other owners also complain that Yamaha P155 offers only a choice of 2 pianos while P140 offers 3 pianos.
On the other hand, the number of positive reviews you can find everywhere on the internet (in blogs, forums and online shop sites like Amazon) make it clear that buying a Yamaha P155 is really a very clever choice if you want a digital piano that is portable, has excellent touch and sound quality and whose price doesn’t break the bank.
Yamaha P155 – Conclusion
From the endless number of articles and reviews I found regarding Yamaha P155, the following three excerpts say it all:
“Geared toward the gigging musician, who requires quality piano touch and tone, the Yamaha P155 digital piano is also deal for home use as a practice piano. Yamaha P155 Features include quality sound and a Graded Hammer Effect key action capable of building proper finger technique.”
“Never before has a sample instrument of this sophistication been offered at a price so low.”
“… And I like it so far. Well, piano sound is not exceptional but decent enough for this price. Touch is good and comfortable. Yamaha P155 represents a pretty good deal for the price.”
The Yamaha P-155 indeed has excellent sound and listening to it with good headphones really makes a lot of difference. From what I´ve seen, heard, felt and read, it´s a very reliable instrument with a good piano sample, not too many bells and whistles, but with perfect connectivity (just in case you hook it up to something for an external sample, but also for USB storage).
