Best Yamaha Electric Piano

I'm currently in the market for a new electric piano and am leaning towards Yamaha models due to their reputation for quality and sound. Given the variety of options available, I would appreciate recommendatoins on which Yamaha electric piano might be the best choice considering factors like realistic touch, sound quality, key action, and overall features for an intermediate to advanced player. Does anyone have experiences with any specific models they could share?

I've had a mighty experience with the Yamaha P-125. It's quite popular among intermediate players for its natural feel and sound quality. The Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard mimics the touch of an acoustic piano, which is perfect for expressive playing. Additionally, it features Pure CF Sound Engine that reproduces the tone of Yamaha's concert grand pianos, offering incredible dynamics and expressiveness. It’s also portable and has useful features like USB connectivity and a built-in two-track MIDI recorder which can be handy for practicing and composing. If your budget allows, you might also consider looking at the higher-end Arius YDP series for an even more refined action and sound quality.

If you're leaning towards Yamaha, the P-125 is definitely a superior choice for its balance of price, performance, and portability. For a more advanced feel, especially in key action and sound depth, you might also want to consider the Yamaha YDP-164 from the Arius line. It offers a more furniture-like model with a GH3 keyboard action that closely mimics the resistance of acoustic piano keys. The sound is rich and it comes with three pedals built into its cabinet for added expression. Both are great options depending on whether you prefer something more portable or stationary.
