Opinions for a new digital piano
on: August 03, 2025, 10:47:05 PM
Hello, I would like to buy a new digital piano.

I play mostly classic music.

I currently have a YAMAHA P-225, but it doesn't satisfy me anymore. It only has very few piano voices, and I am not liking the sound anymore, I find it muffled especially the lower notes.  :'(

I am considering the YAMAHA DGX-670 and the YAMAHA P-525.

From what I understand the P-525 could be better, but I noticed that its display is smaller than the one on the DGX-670, and my concern is the practical use to easily select and navigate the piano sounds, reverbs settings etc.  ;)

I wuold really like some piano voices to make Chopin Nocturnes and Waltz sound beautiful with clear notes.  :-[

What would you reccomand between the two ?

Thanks in advance  :)

Hi pakkun,

although I do use a DGX650 (same keybed as the dgx670) for kids learning, I rather would recommend you to go a little higher.

The DGX670 with GHS has basically a keybed same category as the P225 (GHC)
Thats the keybed of the DGX line
https://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2532316/re-ghs-yamaha-models-and-types.html#Post2532316

If you want to develop further you have to go for a GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) which is an old line or rather to the Grand Touch Keybeds
GT-S built in the Clavinova CLP 625 725 825 635 735 835
GT-S wooden whites built in the Clavinova CLP 645 745 845
The 6xx and 7xx rows are being sold used
625 for about 800 €$
725 for about 1000 €$

I you want to go higher you have to spend at least 2000 €$ for a 675 775 875 685 785 885 but then you have a really good feeling keybed which does simulate very good the real acoustic piano feeling.

here you can find a good explanation of the different Yamaha  keybeds function

Its in German, but nowadays with ai translation thats not the problem.

Wish you having fun with your new piano.
