Which Yamaha piano is best for beginners?

The Yamaha P45 is certainly a fantastic member of Yamaha's digital piano family. It's affordable and portable and still provides the touch and sound of a more premium piano, making it one of the best pianos for beginners.

The P45’s design and feel

A stage piano’s main use is to be a fully featured piano that is also somewhat portable for gigging, hence its name. As a result, stage pianos are usually a little more streamlined in shape and lighter than a normal digital piano. The Yamaha P45 is no exception; it’s 11.5kg, which, as far as pianos go, is lightweight. Much of a stage piano’s weight is due to the hammer weighting in the piano keys, so non-weighted keyboards are extremely light. The Yamaha P45 has “Graded Hammer Standard” action. This action splits the weight of the keys into different zones: lower notes are heavier than higher keys when you press them down. Splitting the hammer action into zones saves the extra weight that individually weighted keys would need while also providing good quality hammer weighting to the keyboard. As you learn the piano, you may feel that you prefer the keys to be a little more or less responsive to dynamics. Fortunately, the P45 lets you adjust the touch sensitivity. Soft sensitivity means the volume will not change too much regardless of how hard or soft you play. Harder sensitivities, on the other hand, are more responsive; you can achieve dramatic changes in dynamics. This works on all sounds except pipe organ and harpsichord as these acoustic instruments tend not to respond much to how hard you play the keys.
