YAMAHAP-145 Digital Piano with 88 Graded Hammer Compact Keys and 10 Instrumental Voices, Lightweight and Portable, Black

I started with a Roland GO:PIANO GO-61P-A in 2020. It was a brilliant keyboard for a beginner at the time. However, the keyboard was rather flimsy and after 5 years of continuous use one of the keys broke and the other keys were showing signs of wear. The Roland was not a full-sized piano keyboard and the keys were not weighted. Looking for a suitable replacement I decided on the Yamaha P-145B Digital Piano. Described as an entry-level model with a weighted keyboard for people who want a piano in their house but do not have much free space for one. The keyboard is more compact than in previous models and is a perfect fit for my desk. The only downside is the weight since I must move it from my desk when I use my laptop but this is expected for a weighted keyboard. The price for this keyboard is amazing it is only slightly more than what I paid for the Roland GO:PIANO back in 2020. However, I now note that the Roland has since dropped in price by about £100.Highly recommended for beginners.

This was a gift and absolutely fantastic item. Arrived on time, easy to set up. It has amazing features

Very good

Good quality, safe delivery, nothing to worry about with this purchase! Used to play baby grand and real grand (white) in a hall and manor house, this is pretty much (for the price) the best you will get for sound. Stick to the first piano sound not the second

This is an incredible digital piano. I've had it for 18 months so far and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. This is a great piano for someone looking to take piano playing seriously, with the benefit of not needing to get a grand piano. It's pretty heavy, so you will need to purchase a solid stand to go with it, but it's portable enough that you could transport it to use for performances if you wanted to.Playability is excellent. It's a bit different feel from playing a grand piano, but the weighting of the keys here makes for a vastly superior experience to a non-weighted keyboard, as the weight means you can play dynamically with volume which is essential for learning good technique and for playing pieces the way they were meant to be. The weighting feels great here with different weighs from the lower to higher octaves. There's a lot of range to be found here.Sound here is also fantastic. From the grand sounds of the bass notes to the dainty trebles, Yamaha deliver a top of the line quality. Volume is very adjustable and you can plug in headphones with a 6.25mm jack for the convenience of private playing. This does come with a small pedal for sustaining. It's decent as a basic but you may prefer to upgrade to a more substantial one as the default does move around a bit. You can also plug the piano into an audio interface with the right jack if you want to record yourself.There are options for changing the default sound to a few basic synthesised options like electric piano sound etc. These are fine but I don't use them personally. They're a nice option to have if you're into that sort of thing, but they aren't a big selling point.This is a fantastic piano. The sound is great and playability is top of the line. You get the full range of a piano with a degree of portability. For the quality you get here, the cost is well worth it if you're looking to take learning/playing the piano seriously and need something you can set up anywhere.Highly recommended.

It’s a good product

Just what I needed. I'm somebody who has played in bands on other instruments, but just wanted to develop some keyboard skills. I'm finding it really useful to understand the Western music scheme more than I did. It plays well and the sound is fine. Not many other sounds, apart from piano, but I doubt I'd every use them anyway. Very good for learning and developing.

Really impressed with the quality of item and speed of delivery. The item was well packaged which was good as it was underneath other items in the van and initially I thought I hope that's ok but it was.
