Is it really! I noticed on the casio px330 i just got that it's made in china, also from crawling upside down and looking underneath....also that the casios have 1 year warranties and the yamahas have 3 years parts and labor. --wrong thread for this but makes me want to think twice about not returning my casio just for a couple of minor gripes; now i've got a couple more!

Bought the P155 without even listened to it in advance.. big misstake.
I have recently sold my P85 to upgrade, and my first tought was the new P155.
I was under the influence that it should sound like the P85 but with much better quality, i was completely misstaken frown.
The sound of the new P155 was not the same as the P85(probably because the new CFIII grand sampling,, doh!).
The sound was expressive and detailed, but it just didn't like it frown
So, what did i disslike about the P155
Playing lower keys i wasn't that much power, it almost felt liked the mid/upper keys was much louder than when playing the lower keys.
It were some "ringing" noise after the tone that i didnt liked, nor could find how to get rid off it disabling reverb/keyoff etc.
I was using my headset Sennheiser HD-595 both for my P85 and the P155, and the difference in sound was quite stunning.

What did i do.. i returned it and told myself to never buy i piano without trying it out before a buy.
I'm currently looking for an alternative, and it's seem that i will be heading for the CP33 which i found the sound to my likings/playing style.

So, do remeber to always play the piano before buying one! smile
We all have personal taste when it comes to what sound you like, and not to be forgotten, the type of music you play or want to play.
Even thou the P155 was impressive on the paper, i didn't like it.

Another thing to mention that the action is quite hard( i liked it) compared to my old P85.
So that is just another reason to try one out before buying.

Hope you will find a DP that you like!

// Philip

I just received the P155 and want to connect it to my headphone system using the AUX outputs. Is it normal that the AUX output reacts to the volume control? If I turn the internal speakers off, the AUX output is silent too.
It does work if I put a 1/4"-1/8" plug into the headphone output but I was hoping there is a more elegant solution.

I have a YPG-635, and kind of wish I'd saved a bit more and gone for the P-155. Don't get me wrong, I like the 635 but I never use any of the other 500 voices, drum beats or effects! On the other hand, I have young kids and they love playing with all the sounds.

One thing I don't get, I purchased the LP-7 pedal set which is only available for the 635. This makes it much easier to pedal as it is secured to the stand and gives you sostenuto, damping and soft, like a real acoustic. Checking the Yamaha website it appears the P-155 has no such accessory. Why would a higher spec DP lack this feature?

Hey everyone, wow, my first post! I went to the local music store in Vancouver (Long & McQuade) and played on the P155 for a long time and was really impressed with the sound. Especially as I could contrast it with the P85 situated above it. I ran it with and without the headphones. I was wondering if there is any way to increase the volume of the piano with headphones on? I had the volume maxed and it didn't seem like the headphones were as loud as they could be.

Any thoughts?

Either way, I'm excited to own one of these things as I'm intending to pick up a used mint condition one for a very reasonable price tomorrow! Wish me luck smile

Volume depends on the headphones used, if it is not loud enough you can add a (headphone) amplifier to the AUX outputs. Then you'll still need to stick a 1/4" plug (1/4"->1/8" adaptor works fine) into the headphone outputs to keep the piano speakers quiet.

I've had mine for a week now and really enjoy it. It plays great and the sound is pretty good too. Really restored my joy in the piano after not owning one for a few years now. A little disappointed with the speakers (maybe it is too close to the wall) but the samples themselves are great on my headphone setup.

Now I have a question about the piano sound. There is a selection to make the sound mellow or bright. I like the mellow effect. Is it just my preference? What sounds more like a grand piano? (I don't have much experience with grands).


What's this? You can choose the sound to be bright or mellow on the p155?
