Yamaha P-145 B

I've bought this piano to learn to actually play instead of just hitting the keys as I did on synths. I've searched for something that could easily connect to iPad and to return the signal to speakers (like AUX over USB) while also processing midi, since it's easy to hook up to apps and still hear the piano and the apps (it's working like a sound card), so it's great.

Headphones work with that as well. The keys have a nice feel (for me, this is first piano so I can't compare to anything), it has nice dynamics and that's the biggest difference between synth or midi controller feel.

I only use the piano sound and I've bought it to play piano, I'm not interested in other sounds. I have my computer with Arturia and other plugins/instruments for that, I just wanted a simple on/off piano that can connect to apps so it's easier to learn and it's a simple setup, and this is it.

I've got it with K&M 18993 stand and it's rock solid.

Next step, when I learn piano a bit more is to get MODX6+ and use this piano as a controller for it. It's kinda the same price as if I get MODX8+, but if I surpass this keybed I can get another one while still having MODX6+, which would be redundant with 88 key version.

9000/10 rating :)

I have always wanted a piano, and every time I want to buy one I get freaked out by the amount of buttons and formulas I find on pianos, which were not visually appealing to me. However, when I found out about Yamaha P-145, I got some goosebumps because it literally fits all I needed.

When I got the Yamaha P145 at first, my first impression was "this thing is well-built". And I could feel it. Like, sometimes, I just be appreciating the moment I got it because it's so heavenly made. It feels like wood but I am not sure what the actual material is. Also, the keys feel like acoustic pianos even though it's a digital piano, which takes me to the sound quality. It is so good that when I compared it to an acoustic piano, I noticed no difference. I also liked how there are few functions because even though there isn't like a gazillion function, they made these 10 as good as they could be, which fits a beginner like me. And I am really thankful for the fact that Thomann provided me with two free subscription platforms to learn playing.


I highly recommend this keyboard because it is, for real, made for beginners who don't like to be confused by the multitude of functions, who like a compact design, and also appreciate sound beauty.

After a 'break' of almost 50 years since my childhood piano-lessons, I'm taking lessons again, so I'm a beginner with some experience, and decades of a love for piano music. I chose Yamaha because of their reputation in pianos and audio, and the P-145 because it suits my needs both in terms of features as well as sound. I ordered it together with the L-100 stand (as a bundle) and the LP-5A pedal unit separately (I didn't go for the 'mega bundle' because I already have headphones, and I wanted a better quality bench). This was so completely the right decision, it is wonderful to play and it sounds really good (plus it looks great in the living room). Connecting to the Yamaha Smart Pianist app on my Pixel 7a phone via USB was easy (the app recognised the piano at connection), allowing for recording, plus a visual interface for the settings.
