Yamaha P-45 B Reviews

piano yamaha P45

basic but enough to get started

Best entry level pro keyboard.

My old piano teacher who was a world renowned pianist recommended this model as the best, most affordable keyboard with pro features that a beginner can get. I seen her use it in concert even! Graded Hammer Action and great sounds are the best features. On the downside, some of the extra features and sounds are only available with various combinations of piano key presses rather then dedicated buttons so you have to keep referring to the manual to remember. No huge deal as I rarely needed different sounds or rhythms.

Plays like a real grand piano!

The best possible solution when you don't have the space (or the money) available for a real grand piano! Ìt feels and sounds very good and on top of it... You don't need a piano tuner every couple of months.

Totally satisfied

Obviously not the most feature-rich, but for its price range, still one of the best. Have been using for 2 years, totally satisfied.

Beautiful

I love it and works really well! I love that I can use my headsets. The only thing I could change is the pedal.

The main box was torn.

nice instrument

very nice instrument sounds and plays great ... i can recommend it to anyone professional or amateur...

Great choice for beginners.

The sound is very good. In comparison with similar models - this piano has very natural sound.

The price is very good - almost everyone can buy it and enjoy)

Quality is perfect as usual for Yamaha instruments.

Strongly recommend!

Really Enjoying this Piano and its my first

The P-45 is a great beginner Piano is not only great as a beginner model due to its affordability, but mainly due to the fact that it focuses on the stuff that matters and that has mileage. It feels great, the build quality is top-notch and the features including the sounds and connectivity are all you will really need as a beginner for a long time. For those sitting on the fence and would rather buy nice than buy twice, this is the perfect keyboard for you.

My only gripe would be the fact that the included pedal is a bit cheap feeling but all in all its sturdy and I think will easily not be broken by a couple of sharp tugs or drops.

Excellent for beginners or using it as a midi keyboard for orchesration

The hammer action is really good for a beginner, and when it comes to orchestration or using it as a midi keyboard, the action is good enough for using it with a daw. remember that you have full control in a daw, so this is a great budget keyboard to get and keep long term.

Perfect keyboard for a beginner

I upgraded my 61 key keyboard to yamaha P45 and i'm happy I did it. It has 88 keys, a sustain pedal and weighted keys. Just perfect for a beginner. The sound although is not very satisfactory. The maximum sound possible is still low. Using a headphone helps.

Such a nice piano

I was expecting much when i bought it and it lived up to it so happy with it

Best piano for beginners!

In love with this piano! It might not fit people who are looking for a piano with a whole spectrum of different sounds, but it has more than enough for beginners like me. The sound is excellent. The piano is light in weight and easy to handle. No regrets for buying this as my first piano!

Great for beginners like me

If you are a beginner at piano and want a good digital piano with 88 keys, this is the choice.

It's got a lot of amazing stuff on it.

If mine was to break, I would buy another one.

No regrets after buying it

This is the first digital piano that I have owned and it I couldn't ask for more considering the price.

The piano plays really well with nicely weighted keys and the build quality is robust and sturdy.

At the moment I have it on a keyboard stand but it used to have it standing on my desk and the piano did not wobble which was a relief.

The sound is absolutely good enough for home playing and it sounds equally good in both low and loud volume, but since I listen to a lot of piano music and that I'm also used to playing on acoustic pianos I have to give the sound 3/5 in comparison, but as for learning songs at home the sound is good enough.

The included foot pedal is very light and easily moves around on the floor and can be difficult to handle but apart from that it works the way it should.

Summary:

• Great piano for it's price

• Sturdy build quality

• Good enough sound for home playing and learning songs.

• Good reverb effects

Feels good, sounds a bit less good.

Great touch, but could sound more convincing. I mainly use the P-45B as a MIDI-controller for soft synths and piano plugins. It's pretty great for that, the weight of the keys is pretty realistic, compared to an actual piano.

The onboard piano sounds seem okay at first, but they become a bit unrealistic when using a sustain pedal. Then, it becomes pretty obvious that you're dealing with something digital.

One other thing I kind of disliked is the weight, it's still relatively heavy for a stage piano.

If you are looking for a decent entry level piano to study or to play low key gigs, this Yamaha will do. But if you are looking for something that has both a realistic feel and sound, you should definitely go for brands like Nord.

The best choice for students!

Exatamente o que procurava!

Adorei a simplicidade deste teclado com um layout fácil de perceber!

Sem duvida o teclado ideal e mais em conta para quem está a começar e só o facto de ter saída Midi já é um bónus, pois permite-me utilizar este teclado para fazer beats também.

Almost Perfect

As a beginner, this gave me everything I needed. A great piano to learn on. The only thing I disliked was the shape of it, particularly the large depth of the underneath of the piano. It made it difficult for me to sit in under it as my knees were hitting off the bottom. Hard to get the right height setup. So I would recommend getting a stand with very granular height adjustment so that you can get it right.

Better than Expected

I am a composer and play piano actively to relax and for work. I was looking for something for my home studio. With the disclaimer that it's not a real piano, the sound and feel are very good, and I've been really happy with my purchase. My only complaints are that the pedal it comes with is a little sad (though this can be replaced easily enough) and that the touch doesn't allow for a huge range of dynamics (it is, after all, still a keyboard). But the feel and weighting is very good compared to other keyboards I have played and the quality is great.
