Yamaha P-45 digital piano

The Yamaha P-45 is the first instrument in the extensive Yamaha digital piano range to feature 88 full size keys with a weighted action. It is consequently a popular beginner model with the additional benefit of being a 'stage' piano and therefore portable and easy to house.
The instrument has a good, solid black plastic construction which is comparatively light-weight. The piano is easy to use and for its size and price gives a realistic sound and feel.
The addition of 10 sampled sounds makes the instrument even more versatile and the USB to HOST connectivity means it can be connected to a computer and used as a controller keyboard with any musical notation or composition software.

This is what Yamaha have to say......

Graded Hammer Standard keyboard for an authentic piano-playing experience.

The P-45 features a Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard. The feel of the keyboard gradually changes according to the register, so that it feels heavier when playing bass parts and lighter when playing treble parts, just like an acoustic piano. The keyboard has a responsive, natural feel together with matte finish black keys for a truly authentic piano playing experience.

Improved Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generator

The P-45 improves upon the traditional AWM synthesis system to deliver stunningly real piano sounds. AWM is a technology that uses digital recordings of original instruments and allows you to experience realistic grand piano sound wherever you are.

Compact and lightweight design for easy transportation.

Slim and stylish with a depth of less than 30 cm, the P-45 requires very little space and, at only 11.5 kg, it can be easily moved anywhere in your home or used for performance outside.

Simple operation with just one button

Many of the settings on the P-45 can be changed with a single button. Simply hold down the "GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION" button and press selected keys to change voices, play demo sources, configure the metronome, and so on.
