YAMAHA P-45B Digital Piano - Light and Portable Piano for Hobbyists and Beginners, in Black

I'm a beginner and had this for about two months. I'm making slow but some progress, I'm enjoying the journey. It's not easy learning piano! What I would say is don't buy cheaper you need at least this standard of piano for it to keep your interest. If you really don't like it it has good resale value too. It's worth saving a little extra and getting this over cheaper options. The sound is something you will probably normally be hear through headphones via the computer as you'll be learning through flowkey which is free for three months with this or other software. The upgrade from this has better external sound apparently but I'm completely happy with the way this one sounds. Would recommend.

I have been without a piano for so many years but always rejected the idea of a keyboard. I recently played this at a friends house and have now bought one for myself. It's just perfect, never played a keyboard that felt so much like a piano. So, so happy with it.

Bought in some trepidation to replace a faithful 30 year old Clavinova, I was not disappointed. The usual Yamaha excellence in every aspect. Many of the tones have improved (e.g. organ) and various other facilities have been improved too. For a basic model this is really, really excellent. It is a basic model and I am sure that if I could justify a direct replacement for my Clavinova, I would be even more thrilled. However, I am in no way disappointed with this really excellent instrument and would certainly buy it again.

I had a Yamaha keyboard that was over 30 years old that I gave to my son. He enjoyed playing it but said there weren't enough keys. Saw the reviews and a brand I have purchased before and bought this for my son. He plays nearly every day and has improved so much. All good the only dislike is the size not a problem if you have the space but we don't. Purchased a Yamaha bag to protect the piano so piano in the bag is kept in a cupboard. Every time he plays it needs to be taken out then put away.

Got this as a 21st birthday/christmas present. I've been learning on it for almost a month now, and it's fantastic. The weighted keys are great for building finger strength, it has a nice few sound options, but really the default piano is the best sounding, and it comes with an in built metronome so you can practice rhythm. I think the only negative thing I can say about this keyboard is that the higher notes are really quiet, and it's quite hard to play higher up in the black notes since the pivot for the keys is up there, so they're much harder to press. Makes it quite hard to regulate how hard you press if you need to go higher up. Despite those flaws though, this keyboard is great value for money, and you can't really get much better at this price range. So if you're looking to play piano, but want to stay on a budget, then this keyboard is a great choice.
