Compact entry-level model

The P-145 is the entry-level model of Yamaha's P series digital pianos. Thanks to its redesigned keyboard, the Yamaha P-145 features a slightly lower weight and more compact dimensions than the predecessor model, but at the same time offers a very realistic playing feel and premium sound quality. All this makes the P-145 a very convenient alternative to an acoustic piano or large digital piano for players who have only limited space available at home or who want to take their instrument with them to piano lessons, live gigs, or sessions with friends on a regular basis. Its great ease of use, small but exquisite selection of instrument voices, and built-in speaker system with a Sound Boost function allow the portable P-145 to be easily played just about everywhere. Practising along with a fixed tempo is also a breeze thanks to the integrated metronome, and the Duo function even allows the keyboard to be played by two players at once.

Straightforward digital piano
The Yamaha P-145 comes with a newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard with heavier keys in the bass register and lighter keys in the treble register for an acoustic piano-like playing feel, which makes it great for beginners who want to prepare for playing a real hammer-action keyboard. The Yamaha P-145 piano offers the full range of 88 keys, which allow even demanding pieces of Classical music to be played, and a selection of ten instrument voices, including grand and electric pianos, organs, strings, accordion, and harpsichord. The sound of the P-145 was sampled from a Yamaha CFIIIS full concert grand piano that features a damper resonance function. Two voices (grand piano and strings) can also be layered in Dual mode to create a particularly distinctive sound. The keyboard provides all the necessary inputs for connecting the sustain pedal that is included in the scope of delivery, optional headphones, and a computer or tablet PC using a suitable USB cable.

For ambitious learners
The Yamaha P-145 is perfect for beginners with a serious interest in playing the piano. Its keyboard is not only comfortable to play but also introduces players to a more demanding weighted acoustic playing feel in order to prepare for a hammer action keyboard. The P-145 piano is easy to transport thanks to its ultra-compact dimensions and low weight of just 11kg, and for stationary use at a single location, the P-145 can be mounted on the optional Yamaha L-100 stand, and further complemented by the optional Yamaha LP-5A 3-pedal unit with damper, sostenuto, and soft functions for an even more authentic acoustic piano playing feel. The Duo function allows two players, e. g. student and teacher, to play the P-145 together as a duo by splitting the keyboard into two sections with the same octave range on the left and right side.

About Yamaha
For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
"Smart Pianist" as a practice partner
The scope of delivery of the Yamaha P-145 also includes a sheet music holder that is very easy to insert into the slot above the keys to hold printed music and books or even a smartphone or tablet PC, which can be connected to the keyboard via USB/MIDI or a separately available Yamaha UD-BT01 Bluetooth MIDI adapter (only for iOS). Yamaha's free "Smart Pianist" app for smart devices offers a wide range of useful digital functions, such as the display of sheet music, convenient song playback via MIDI for listening and practising along to a song, and comfortable remote control of the keyboard settings (depending on the connected model).
