Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
#1 in our digital piano guide. The Yamaha P-225 is an 88-key digital piano in black, listed at £496.00 with a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 108 Amazon ratings. The histogram behind that average is worth a look: 81 of the 108 ratings are five-star, and 8 are one-star, so the score sits on top of a small but real group of unhappy buyers rather than a wall of approval.
The listing also disagrees with itself on size. The bullet text gives a width of 132.6 cm and a depth of 12.9 cm; the spec table gives 132.1 cm and 12.7 cm for the same two measurements. The finish field reads "Polished" and the size field reads "Slim", which is what the ad claims rather than anything we checked. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
