The Yamaha P-45 is an 88-key digital piano with Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard weighted action: heavier in the low end, lighter up high, like an acoustic. Its AWM stereo-sampled sound comes from Yamaha's acoustic grand recordings, and built-in speakers mean no extra gear to start. It is the most basic 88-key weighted model Yamaha makes, so it skips features rivals at the same level often include, such as USB audio, Bluetooth and a full rhythm section. It suits beginners and returning players who want a real weighted feel and a credible piano tone without paying for extras.

Owners and reviewers treat the P-45 as a dependable first weighted piano: the action and piano tone get consistent praise, while the short feature list is the usual complaint.
The Yamaha P-45 is an 88-key digital piano with Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted action. It has blocked-end keys and built-in speakers. The touch is heavier in the low end and lighter in the high end, like the hammers in an acoustic piano. The matte finish on the black keys is less slippery during long playing sessions.
The sound comes from AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Stereo Sampling. Pairs of left and right waveforms, captured with two microphones, are recorded from an acoustic piano. The P-45 plays one sample per key at varying levels of volume and timbre. Besides piano, it includes electric pianos, harpsichord and strings.
The body is slim, with a depth of less than 12 inches, and weighs 25 lb. Many settings are controlled with one button. Hold down the "GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION" button and press the keyboard to change voices, play demo songs, set the metronome and more.
