Rank #3 in Best Digital Pianos 2026: 10 Ranked, One Costs £77 More With Smaller Numbers
Yamaha P-145BT Digital Piano, 88 Weighted Keys, Bluetooth
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Yamaha P-145BT is the third entry in this guide: an 88-key digital piano with graded-hammer-compact weighted keys, 10 voices and Bluetooth audio, listed at £339.00 with a 4.8 rating from 45 ratings. Yamaha presents it as a beginner instrument that fits a small room and still travels — the listing gives its size as 130 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm and its weight as 12.3 kg.
The interesting part is the rating. The page quotes 45 ratings, but the star breakdown shown alongside it reads 3 one-star, 8 four-star and 89 five-star — 100 in total, which cannot be a count of 45 reviews. Either those figures are percentages, or the two numbers come from different places. On sounds, the P-145BT lists 10 voices, against the 900 timbres claimed by the £272.99 walnut STRICH elsewhere in this guide and the 128 timbres claimed by the £349.99 one — so the Yamaha undercuts the dearer STRICH by £10.99 while listing a much shorter sound list. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Highly recommend for beginners. Decent sound. Easy to practice on. If you want something cheap and you want to learn as a beginner then thjs piano will be good for you. Now if you a concert pianist or a teacher then obviously you will need to pay for more expensive digital pianos out. But if you just starting out or on a low budget then you be fine learning on this piano.”
