88-Key Weighted Portable Digital Piano Keyboard with Music Rest, Sustain Foot Switch, Built-in Speakers, USB Connectivity, Black (P45B) | Sustain Foot Switch, Built In Speakers, USB Connectivity, Black P45B

The P-45 piano being my first piano, I don’t have other models to compare my experience to. The piano has been amazing in almost all aspects. It was really simple to setup the piano and the pedal. The functions which the piano has are easy to understand as well once you read the manual a bit. The piano is easy enough to move around in your own home since its weight wasn’t too heavy. The sound quality of the main piano was also great. The strings were okay at best, but I don’t expect people to buy a piano in order to make music with string instruments. The piano keys all feel nice to play, but they sometimes rubbed on each other and made a sort of sliding sound. This noise wasn’t too noticeable though, so it shouldn’t pose much as an issue. The piano is amazing for its price, and with a bit of practice, anyone can start playing music with the P-45.

As someone who wanted to practice piano after not playing for over 8 years, this keyboard is amazing. I wasn't looking for anything fancy and this keyboard provides all the basics that I need. It fits well in my studio apartment and the sound range is perfect for practicing on my own. The keys feel standard, the keyboard looks great, and the sound is comparable to an acoustic piano. The provided music rest works great. I haven't tried out the sustain foot switch because I like pedals more.

The Yamaha P-45 has an authentic piano sound and key feel that makes it easy to play. It's compact, sturdy, and only weighs 25 lbs. The price is reasonable for a quality Yamaha keyboard.

This is a great portable keyboard. Always trust a Yamaha. Sounds good and feels goos. Great for even piano students.

This piano feels pretty darn close to a real acoustic piano. The keys are fully weighted and the sound is decent.With regard to durability: I have owned this piano now for four years. It still works. But it is not the same as when it was new. After about a year, no noticeable changes. After two years, still going strong. Three years, no problem.At about the four-year mark, the action does noticeably degrade. The keys feel mushier than a year ago and not as crisp. This in and of itself is nothing to complain about on a keyboard with weighted keys. All keyboards with weighted keys will eventually degrade over time and at ~$500 it is not held to the highest of standards. That said, the keys develop a "clicking" sound over four years' time, which is much more annoying than mere mushiness. The "clicking" sound comes from the mechanical action of the key (it does not come from the speaker). The "clicking" sound is very soft and not an issue if you use headphones exclusively. Over-the-ear headphones will block the "clicking" sound. If you do not use headphones, however, the click is loud enough to disturb your internal rhythm and is very, very annoying.I still give the keyboard 4 stars, because I think for the money, it's a good value proposition. Yamaha generally makes good, decent products. Take it or leave it. If you're looking for a decent sounding, decent feeling keyboard to tide you over for a few years, this keyboard is perfectly acceptable. If you're looking for something that will last a decade, you should probably be looking at more expensive equipment.

I'm going to make the argument that this old keyboard still has Yamaha's best feel to it.I think Yamaha really had it right all along when they were doing their earlier keyboards in the P series like the P45/P71. This feels incredibly solid to me, with a good weight to it... but it isn't too loud, or too clunky and I don't really find myself tired of playing on it after a short amount of time. The other keyboards might be the same or similar "on paper", but if you were to go to a music shop and actually play them you'd be able to tell right away that they still feel a lot different in the real world.This keyboard might be "simple" for today's standards, because it doesn't have bluetooth, "sympathetic resonance" or any fancy effects... but it's versatile and it gets the job done well. It also makes for a perfectly good "MIDI controller with a sound built into it", as I like to call it. You're probably going to be using this your Pianoteq, your Kontakt or your UVI Workstation samples anyway and it works very well for those. Even the cheap or the free instruments you can download online are still gonna blow the $1,500-$4,000 digital pianos out of the water. Yes, even in 2026!So even if you can afford the more expensive ones, I'd still recommend that you get this one for the action and you don't waste your money on anything else. That's my opinion as someone who's been playing the piano for going on thirty years now. It's still the best keyboard Yamaha has ever made and I really feel like every piano/keyboard player should have one of these. This is the one you want to get.

I was a little disappointed to see the packaging was somewhat damaged when it arrived. Nevertheless, the keyboard emerged unscathed. After a few minutes of looking over the setup instructions, I had the keyboard on the stand, powered and ready to go.My first reaction was the piano sound. If you closed your eyes, you'd have no idea that you weren't playing a reasonably high quailty upright piano. Some people have said the sound is a little muffled, I would say it sounds like a typical piano backed up against a wall with a bunch of sheet music draped across the front. I have zero complaints about the sound.The action of the keys is heavy, perhaps very slightly stiffer than an older "broken in" acoustic piano. If you close your eyes you won't necessarily think the action feels exactly like an acoustic piano, but it is a nevertheless very acceptable and pleasing action.The sum total of this instrument, and I do believe it is an instrument, is phenomenal for the price. You won't be disappointed in the sound or the keyboard action. You'll be wondering how they pulled this off quality instrument at this price point. Truly amazing!I tried the other sounds. The two piano sounds are great. The only other memorable sound for me is a pretty convincing organ (there are two). Haven't tried the metronome yet.This is a great instrument if you're buying a digital piano to learn how to play, or if you just want something that is really close to an acoustic piano with the weight, bulk, cost, tuning problems, etc. Highly recommended!

I have a baby grand that I normally use. I bought this so that I could practice in my office at night. I am a late-blooming piano student, so I don't need something that is fantastic. The sound on this P-45 is very good (no, not as good as my acoustic piano) and the keyboard feels pretty good. My piano teacher recommended this over the P-71, which sells on Amazon for the same price. I think the main difference between the two is that the P-45 has gradually weighted keys while the P-71 has weighted keys, so that the feel on the P-45 should be more like an acoustic piano. The P-71 may have some other features that were not as important for me. If you're going between an acoustic piano and an electric piano, this may be a better choice. I'm very happy with it. For the money, this is a very good electric piano, and one that is excellent for practicing or for just fooling around. It comes with a sustain pedal (not clear from the description, but mine came with a sustain pedal). I also bought the Liquid Stands piano stand and stool from Amazon, shown in this photo, which I also like.

This is a great substitute for a full-blown piano. The keys are nicely weighted like a real piano. The sounds of the various instruments are excellent. It sounds even better through headphones but even through the speakers, the sound quality is very good. Full compatible with keyboard apps with a standard USB cable.

Ha solo 13 anni e studia pianoforte (ci voleva una pianola di qualità in casa loro), fa degli uncinetto deliziosi, ha iniziato da sé a studiare il russo, è bravissima a scuola, ha pagelle stellari... la tastiera Yamaha è il livello giusto di qualità, poi vedremo.

Super recomendo. Ótimo piano digital.

Bought this for my 6 year old who will be starting piano classes. It seems very good. It has 88 keys and weighted. It has a grand piano setting and lovely to hear some classics. Overall pleased with the purchase, speed of delivery and quality.

Très bon piano de scène et de travail. Toucher lourd.Très simple d'utilisation avec pédale, métronome et plusieurs instruments selectionnables...orgue.clavecin.violon.piano.vibraphone...Il est assez lourd mais la qualité du son est là...donc un bel achat
