Yamaha P-45 B B-Stock

The P-45 is not overloaded with functions that are often superfluous in practice, but focuses instead on key features including an authentic piano sound, a good keyboard, and a number of practical extras such as an integrated metronome. The GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard featuring graduated weighting imitates the touch sensitivity of a real grand piano, resulting in keys that feel slightly heavier in the bass range than in the higher registers. The sounds are based on AWM stereo sampling and can be varied using four different reverb types to provide the optimum performance experience. With its Dual and Layer modes and a Duo mode, the P-45 also enables the user to mix two sounds together or to split the keyboard into two sections.

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world’s best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company’s long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
