Core Features of the Yamaha P-145BT

The P-145BT stands out with a collection of features designed to enhance your playing experience:

• Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) Keyboard: Experience the authentic touch of an acoustic piano with 88 weighted keys. The GHC keyboard is lighter than previous models, offering a realistic feel that's heavier in the low notes and lighter in the high notes, just like a grand piano. This is crucial for developing proper finger strength and technique.
  
• Yamaha CFIIIS Concert Grand Piano Sound: Immerse yourself in the rich, expressive sound of Yamaha's flagship concert grand piano. The P-145BT meticulously samples the CFIIIS, delivering a beautifully resonant and dynamic piano tone.
  
• Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity: Connect wirelessly to your favourite music apps on your smartphone or tablet. This opens up a world of learning tools, recording options, and digital sheet music.
  
• Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing in at just 11.5 kg (25 lbs 6 oz), the P-145BT is incredibly portable, making it easy to move around your home or take with you on the go.
  
• Built-in Speakers: Enjoy clear and powerful sound without the need for external amplification. The P-145BT's speakers are designed to provide a rich and balanced audio experience.
  
• Headphone Jack: Practice silently at any time of day or night without disturbing others.
  
• Metronome and Recorder: Essential tools for practice and self-assessment, helping you improve your timing and track your progress.
  
• Dual Mode and Duo Mode: "Dual Mode" allows you to layer two different voices (e.g., piano and strings) for a richer sound. "Duo Mode" splits the keyboard into two identical halves, perfect for student-teacher lessons or duets.

Setting Up and Using Your Yamaha P-145BT

Getting started with your P-145BT is straightforward:

1. Power Connection: Connect the included power adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the piano and then to a wall outlet.
   
2. Sustain Pedal: Connect the FC-3 sustain pedal or for a more authentic feel, consider upgrading to a three-pedal unit like the LP-5A .
   
3. Stand (Optional but recommended): For optimal playing posture and stability, we highly recommend pairing your P-145BT with a dedicated stand. The L-100B stand is designed specifically for this model, offering a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing solution. Alternatively, a portable X-style stand is a great option for flexibility.
   
4. Bench: A comfortable and height-adjustable bench is crucial for long practice sessions and proper posture.
   
5. Bluetooth MIDI: To connect via Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device.
   
6. Yamaha Smart Pianist App: Enhance your experience by downloading the free Yamaha Smart Pianist app. This app provides intuitive control over the P-145BT's functions, including voice selection, rhythm settings, and even displaying sheet music.
   

Cool Tips and Tricks for Your P-145BT

• Experiment with Voices: Beyond the classic piano, explore the various instrument voices available, such as electric pianos, organs, strings, and harpsichords, to add colour to your music.
  
• Layer Sounds with Dual Mode: Activate Dual Mode (refer to your manual for specific button combinations) to combine two voices, like piano and strings, for a richer, more orchestral sound.
  
• Utilise the Metronome: Don't underestimate the power of the metronome for improving your timing and rhythm. Start slow and gradually increase the tempo.
  
• Record Your Practice: Use the built-in recorder to capture your playing. Listening back to yourself is an invaluable tool for identifying areas for improvement.
  
• Explore Music Apps via Bluetooth: Connect to apps like Flowkey, or simply use the Smart Pianist app for an interactive learning and playing experience. Many apps offer tutorials, exercises, and even games to make learning fun.
