Newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard offers a realistic playing feel
One of the main concerns of piano players when purchasing a digital piano is related to the feel of the keyboard when they play.
Some of the things that players are specifically concerned with include whether they can feel the weight of the keys in their fingers as with a weighted acoustic piano keyboard; whether the keyboard will respond accurately when they play quicker passages; whether there are any inconsistencies between how hard they play the keys and the sound that results; and whether the keyboard offers a sufficient soft-to-loud dynamic range.
The GHS keyboards used in the P Series thus far have received high praise from customers for the excellent balance and ease of playing that was mentioned above.
The newly developed and more compact GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard on the new P Series reproduces the playing comfort of its predecessors in every way.
Further, the keyboard unit is more compact than in previous models, while still offering an outstanding playing feel.
Offering the sound of a full grand piano
This model features the sound of a Yamaha full concert grand, the CFIIIS: the origin of Yamaha’s premier concert grand pianos, the CFX.
The sound was sampled from a piano with a bright, transparent tone with a spacious treble and an overall solid sonic feel.
In addition, the P-145 features a damper resonance function that reproduces the rich resonance sound you hear when pressing the damper pedal, for an even fuller sound.
We hope that you will enjoy the profoundly deep character of this instrument’s sound, so characteristic of that of a real grand piano. It goes without saying that this instrument doesn’t require tuning.
Place the instrument wherever you like, or even take it with you
One trouble that plagues pianists is that the acoustic piano is not an instrument you normally carry with you wherever you go.
Another issue is that traditional pianos are often too large to fit into a room.
The P-145 provides a brilliant solution to these problems. With its stylish design—the most compact in the P Series—this model blends well with the decor of any room.
With the optional soft case, you can take the P-145 with you to the studio, to a party, to live gigs, or on a trip—whenever you need it.
Access the features of this instrument with greater ease from the app
By linking the P-145 with Yamaha’s dedicated “Smart Pianist” digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations on the P-145 from the screen of your smart device. There’s no longer any need to pull out the manual to see how things work.
*When connecting a smart device to a musical instrument to use the app, you can either use a cable or connect wirelessly using the Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; for iOS only).

Voices
The P-145 features 10 Voices. In addition to string Voices that sound beautiful when layered over piano tones, you can enjoy the sounds of various keyboard instruments such as concert grand pianos, electric pianos and organs.
The P-145 also features Accordion and Di Zi Voices.
Songs
The P-145 comes with 20 preset songs, including 10 demo songs that are appropriate for each Voice, such as grand pianos, electric pianos, pipe organs, Harpsichord, Accordion, Di Zi and so forth. We encourage you to listen to these demo songs, which cover a variety of genres from light classical to baroque masterpieces, R&B, pop music and more, to get an idea of how the P-145 opens up possibilities for your musical expression.
Practice with headphones—whenever you want, as much as you want. Comes with a built-in metronome.
One of the greatest advantages of a digital piano is the ability to practice while listening to what you play through headphones. This solves the problem of not wanting to disturb family members or neighbors when you play, not to mention eliminating the need for them to hear you’re playing when it’s not at its best. The P-145 also features a metronome, which is essential for practice. With these features, you can enjoy playing at your own pace, whenever you like.
*Headphones are optional
Metronome function to make your piano practice more fun and effective
We recommend using the metronome if you want to practice along with a fixed tempo.
Sound Boost function for bringing out the sound of the piano
Have you ever been in a session with a band and felt that your sound was being overpowered by the other instruments and getting drowned out in the mix? Worry no more—the P-145 is equipped with a Sound Boost function that switches to a punchy and powerful sound for such situations.
