Where it sits
Its price class holds 38 digital pianos between €215 and €830 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha P-145 sits in the middle there. The Yamaha P-225 from the same brand sits around €215 above it – but with 192-voice polyphony instead of 64. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Roland FP-10 and Alesis Prestige Artist.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- Weighted keys like an acoustic piano – fingers learn correctly from day one
- Compact and still portable at ~11 kg
- USB-MIDI for learning apps
- Also available as P-145BT with Bluetooth MIDI (EU approx. €390–430)
Against it
- Few sounds – if you want band sounds, a keyboard serves you better
- Built-in speakers for room volume, not for the stage
