Yamaha CLP745 Digital Piano Demonstration & Buyers Guide 

Excellent description of the functions of the piano. The best I found so far. And, great piano playing.

This is the best analysis of the CLP745 features I have seen. Thank you

Just visited you MK store and bought one. Went in to try something else entirely (different brand) and completely fell in love with this. Really helpful team. Thanks

It really is true about the headphones, I can never tell if the headphones are on or if I’m playing aloud. I had to check

Thank you for your informative review. I live in the U.S., but your video helped me to decide on the 745. Enjoyed your beautiful playing too!

You sir have great taste in music. It almost make me want to buy one of those yamaha pianos just to learn one song, I miss you like crazy.

Wonderful complete overview. Thank you!

Very good demostration, thank you.

You are great, sad that I don’t live in the UK. Here in where I live that are not that helpful as you guys are, thanks for this great video!

I wish I lived in the uk so I could visit your store. Thanks for the great content!

C’est juste magnifique 😍😍😍

I'd really love to visit your store. I'm just across the channel but quarantine and brexit make it as good as impossible. Too bad. Keep up the good work!

Your presentations are always awesome. Keep it up.

Great review 👍 thank you

Love the Gladiator theme!

One of the best players on the net thanks

Hi US Navy vet and classical piano master level Russian German American veteran greetings and thank you.=! I am so glad I listened to you and upgraded to the 745, it is miles better than the 735 and worth the $1,000 bump in price. It is the perfect middle of the road digital piano, but I call it middle of the road +. It has most of the same features that the 775 and 785 have, except the back opens so it is a bit more artizan, and they might have more and bigger speakers. If you are spending that much, you might as well get a GP 795, which will be my next piano. What I love about the piano for about $1000 more you are getting 1- Wood instead of plastic 2- Ivory like feel instead of plastic so it sounds like a piano 3. On the keyboard, you get hammer weighted keys so it sounds and feels like a digital piano, the 735 is a digital keyboard. You get a few more perks such as ivory feel on the keyboard, 33% bigger speakers, blue tooth and built in digital metronome. This is perfect for the beginner who wants to learn because they have programmed beats. They also have an app you can download and with a cord, you can get more instruments. I want to make a recommendation. Spend the extra $400 and get it polished, be it ebony or white. I was going for white but it would have taken another year to send so I settled for the polished ebony. The guy at Las Vegas Pianos was very helpful. I paid $4100 but the ebony before taxes is listed at 4299. You are going to pay over $4500 after taxes and delivery but it is well worth it. Part of the beauty of buying a piano is to enjoy it when you get it. I have a $1,000,000 luxury house in Las Vegas, drive a Mercedes, have a pool, and a huge 85" TV, along with fancy furniture. The focal point of my living room is the piano, when people come to visit. Everyone goes ooh, and ahh, you will impress your neighbors. The beauty is this piano is good for someone who never played before because it has a ton of helpful features or the classical master like me who can play anything by Franz Liszt or Rachmaninoff. I also LOVE the CF and BOOSENDORFER sounds make it sound like a concert grand. You can also get some additional speakers to make it even louder, if you like. What I do recommend is getting some Yamaha headphones. They come with a jack so you can put it in your keyboard and not annoy your neighbors, if you want to play past 10PM. I love it it was worth the 1 year weight boss. My next upgrade will be the GP 795 and eventually, I will then spend $20,000 to get a C series 6 foot caustic. The ultimate goal is to get a CF $45,000-60,000. Forget about CFX those can cost $300,000 I am realistic haha. YOU CANNOT LOSE WITH THE 745 THIS IS A WINNER PIANO NAVY VET YOU WILL CURSE MY NAME WHEN YOU SEE THE BILL, YOU WILL PRAISE MY NAME, WHEN YOU PLAY IT. If you play this piano for 5 minutes, you will forget you are playing on a digital piano. The good digital pianos have pretty much the same quality as a good acoustic piano but at half the price. A Yamaha U5 Acoustic piano could set you back over $10,000 On a side note, I could have SWAM to Japan and back. Japan arigatou gozai mashi ta

You are an excellent presenter!

Hi everyone, may I confirm if the clp-745 is able to connect midi-interface via Bluetooth to the iPad? i.e Using the SimplyPiano app to learn playing the piano wirelessly? Thanks in advance!

What's the song you play with the orchestral sound? It is beautiful

Sir how do you compare the action with the Kawai CA501? Which one would be better choice for someone who want's a feel closest to a grand piano?

The automatic subtitles said Yamaha smart penis app hahahhaha 11:28

Hi , I recently tested almost all the digital pianos on the market(the ones with wooden keys), being in 15 stores in Germany to test them all. I will tell you my impressions: - for ~ £2000 the best key action on the market is PHA-50 from Roland. Unfortunatelly I recently had an LX-705, and I experienced myself that the sound card of LX-series is not good. So for PHA-50 I would go with HP-704 So, for me, top 4 is: - nr. 1 key action feeling is from Yamaha. - nr. 2 key action feeling is Roland (but unfortunatelly the sound card is with problems by LX-series) - nr. 3 key action feeling is Gewa (UP-380 G WK or UP-400) - nr. 4 key action feeling is Kawai (CA-59, CA-79, CA-99) - unfortunatelly the key action feeling from Hybrid Casio GP-310 is for me like Yamaha CLP-625 Kawai is very good, but the advertising with "whole wooden key" is only good and please just try by yourself how the keys are moving from right to left (put the finger on the keys and move them from left to right), .... you will see after testing what I mean and if or how stable they are on the keyboard. - now I am waiting for CLP-745 or maybe CLP-775 to choose one of them. Regarding CLP-775, I would rather go more than 50% to buy a Yamaha U1 or U3 second hand at the same price with 775 Have a nice day!

Hello , could you please tell me which is the level of volume that you play on video ?

Could you please tell me about the black keys. They have a Matt finish with sharp edges and appear 1 or 2mm slimmer than normal black keys. Thx

Does the grandtouch-s have shorter key length than grandtouch

Omg.. the kawai ca 79.. moves the game on... ( the 59 is a yamaha challenging beast.. All comes down to taste.. the kawai has a or authentic feel, real keys.. 79 are fully lenghted.. . Try ..buy ... the one you like... ( could even be a casio, or roland.. Kwai for me..

the piano is great! I received it 5 days ago and I can say that at beginning I was not so impressed(because I still can't connect the bluetooth, although the phone sees the piano), but the piano sound and touch are worth the 2700 EUR.

Sir, I wish to invest in a new digital piano. I did some research on RU-vid and finalised Yamaha clavinova clp 645 which had their reputed nwx action. recently in August 2020 Yamaha has launched its clp 700 series and now I am also looking at clp 7:45 which has got their new action by the name grand touch s. I tried to search online but I could not get a comparison review between both actions and hence I am confused between clp 645 with nwx action or clp 745 with grand touch s action. Kindly guide me as to which one should I choose because both digital pianos are in my budget range but I want to make an informed decision and I need your guidance in that respect. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks and regards:: K. Lalith , Compose email

Wait, are you saying I can't hook up my Android device to a CLP 735 with a cable and use the app and all its features?

3:00 Someone please tell me what song he's playing here. Sounds great

That was another helpful review of CLP700 series. Thanks! Could anyone let me know first two sample musics played in this video (played in CFX grand & Bosendofer)? These melodies are so catchy to me and definitely want to try playing them.

I am between the CA59 and the CPL745 is there a winner between these 2 comments appreciated

Thanks for the lovely review. Is there a big difference between the quality of this piano and an upright acoustic piano? I have a problem with the weight of the acoustic piano but I need to have almost the same sense as Acoustic. which model is your suggestion? At the moment I have a Yamaha P125 digital piano.

Hello can semeone tell me what Hé is playing from 2,23 minute?

1:05, what 🎵 song is that? It sounds so familiar 🤔, but cannot think of the name.

Has anyone tried both, clp675 and clp745? I can get these two at the same price over here, so now I am a bit torn. Is the 3-way sound system in 675 a big difference to the 2-way system in 745? They both give about 200 W, but distribute the sound differently and I did not manage to find any review comparing this aspect. I only saw people complaining about 675 being "hard-action" but honestly, when I tried a couple DPs in a shop, they all seemed pretty light (no matter the brand), so I guess I am used to accoustics a bit on the hard side anyway, so I am more intrested in the overall sound quality and authenticity rather than action. Can anybody give their opinion on these models in that regard?

Is that matt black?

What’s the first song called?

Does anybody know what’s the song at 6:35?

Lovely piano. Does anybody know what the piece is being played at 2:25?

Just ordered it one month ago. Waiting for it in september.

Isa this better than 150/170?

It seems that the type and dryness of the clutches are not good, even touch the lower model clavicles seems to me to be better.

Hi. Is Grand Touch-S a good action for yamaha's digital pianos? How much difference is between graded Hamer Small (GHS) action and Grand Touch-S ? And which one is more recommended for a beginner piano learner?

what is the song at 1:00 minute

How do you save setting changes if you modify the sound in piano room...i find when you turn it off and turn it on...any changes in settings are lost ...and you have to go to piano room again to change it from default

Hi, quick question, I have a acoustice piano with heavy keys and considering buying an DP, I will spent 80% of my time on DP, if I get CLP 745, does the light keys could be a problem for me?

Another great review as usual Tony! This is such an obvious rival to Kawai's CA79 in terms of its price-point, functionality and quality of sounds. Can you say anything though about the Yamaha's action? How does it compare to the Grand Feel III of the Kawai? I live too far away from your shops to drop-by and compare myself. Thanks.

Anyone can tell me that Clp745 can record file by usb or not? I can take this file in usb to the computer and listen to this file immeddiately?

That music around 3:00 minutes. It is a movie theme and I am pretty sure it is by Hans Zimmer, but I cannot recall what movie it is from. What movie is it from?

please compare to kawai ca59, both has real wood key but kawai is less expensive

i own a CLP-745, and i would tell you that CLP-645 is much better in touching.. than the CLP-745 CLP-745 has very light keys .. and that's too bad

I am always surprised that so much time could be spent demoing different sounds. I do not even use any sounds from my digital piano (I use VSTs, mostly Pianoteq). I play sound from the VSTs through the speakers of my piano. I decide about the sound. Nothing about keyboard action!

Bosendorfer sample sound like not real..😭😭

Thanks for your helpful reviews! We’ve just installed our new CLP745 :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WpHxlRVwdjo.html
