A superb blend of elegance, authentic touch and concert-quality sound, the Yamaha YDP-145 brings the experience of a grand piano into your home, classroom or studio.

Concert Grand Sound at Your Fingertips
At the heart of the YDP-145 lies a meticulously sampled voice from Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano. This world-renowned instrument is known for its sparkling highs and powerful, resonant bass. With the YDP-145, you’ll enjoy a beautifully rich and expressive tone, whether you're rehearsing daily exercises or performing complex pieces.
Authentic Feel with GHS Weighted Action
The 88-key GHS keyboard provides a realistic piano feel, mirroring the heavier touch of the lower keys and the lighter response in the upper octaves - ideal for developing proper finger technique. Matte black keytops offer a comfortable grip and reduce slipping during extended sessions.
Advanced Sound Modelling with VRM Lite
Yamaha’s innovative Virtual Resonance Modelling Lite (VRM Lite) simulates the complex harmonic resonance of a grand piano, creating a fuller, more immersive sound. Combined with the built-in tone escapement, which emanates sound from inside the piano, the YDP-145 delivers a truly dynamic acoustic-like experience.
Smart Connectivity & Learning Tools
With 353 built-in songs - including classical favourites and graded practice pieces - the YDP-145 is a powerful learning companion. It is fully compatible with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, allowing intuitive control of voices, recording, playback and score viewing directly from your smart device.*
