The P-45 is the lowest-cost, 88-note, weighted action digital piano that Yamaha offers. This digital piano has a basic set of features, ideal for the needs of the beginner piano student. It features 88 blocked-end semi-weighted keys, built-in speakers and best of all, Yamaha's legendary piano sound. It features a complement of other common keyboard timbres as well, including electric pianos, harpsichord and strings.

Authentic to the touch

Yamaha's GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted action has heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, just like the hammers inside an acoustic piano. Great for the aspiring pianist, practicing on the GHS action builds the proper finger technique for when the time comes to perform on an acoustic piano. Plus the matte finish of the black keys are less slippery when playing for extended periods of time.

Tried and true, Yamaha's classic sound engine for realistic tone

AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) sampling uses digital technology to record the sound of an acoustic piano. AWM Stereo Sampling creates a deeper, richer and more spacious sound by using pairs of waveforms (L and R) captured with two microphones. The P-45 uses AWM to play one sample per key at varying levels of volume and timbre.

A compact and lightweight design makes it easy to get around

Slim and stylish form with a depth of less than 12 inches, the P-45 requires little space. At only 25 lb. with a built-in sound system, it can be easily moved anywhere in your home or even used for performance outside.

Simple, single-button operation

Various P-45 settings can be changed with a single button. Hold down the "GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION" button and press the keyboard to change Voices, play demo sources, configure the metronome and more.

The Yamaha DGX650B is an 88-key keyboard that sounds and plays like a real piano. Don't spend the money on a keyboard that sounds like a toy when you could have a real instrument. The DGX650B is sampled from a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand, and at this price, you won't find a more realistic-sounding keyboard. The Damper DSP digitally reproduces the sympathetic vibration of strings. And, there is USB recording and playback and an AUX line input. As close as you can get to the real thing- the Yamaha DGX650B.

Realistic features just like an acoustic piano

Close your eyes while you're playing the Yamaha DGX650B and you won't know it isn't a real piano. Yamaha has gone out of their way to make this keyboard as realistic as possible. The Damper Resonance DSP digitally reproduces the sympathetic vibration of strings when the damper pedal is used. And, the 88 notes of this keyboard are weighted for heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the highs, just like an acoustic piano. Plus, the 128-note polyphony provides enough memory for layering two voices and playing two-handed, sustained chords.

Easy-to-use built-in recorder

The USB Audio (WAV) Recording/Playback function of the DGX650B captures uncompressed audio to your USB drive. This is a great way to listen to your practice sessions and keep track of all the progress your making after endless hours in front of your keyboard. Or, you could use the Yamaha DGX650B as a tool for songwriting. There's nothing worse than writing the next big hit and forgetting it the next day. Just drop your USB drive into your computer and you can share your recordings by CD, social media, or your mobile device.

Loaded with fun and useful tools

The Yamaha DGX650B is a great alternative to an acoustic piano because of its amazing realism, and it's also loaded with cool features that only a Yamaha keyboard can provide. For example, the DGX650B is XG-optimized for "You Are The Artist," a series of books and companion song files that make it easy and fun to learn new songs. You just select a song to play from your "You Are The Artist" book and select the song file in your Yamaha for instant accompaniment. Learn some of your favorite songs by Elton John, Taylor Swift, or Coldplay, all with your own backing band.

From Epiphone comes this beautiful entry-level guitar, priced for anyone to afford. Dressed in a beautiful finish, and featuring appointments you'd often find on higher-end guitars, the Epiphone AJ-220S guitar sounds just as good as it looks. Built on advanced jumbo body design, the depth of the body and the width of the shoulders create a large sound chamber, presenting tone that is full, deep, and loud.

The mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top brings out rich harmonics, lots of projection, and clarity in tone. A glued-in dovetail neck joint keeps the Epiphone acoustic guitar's neck and body stable, without losing any subtleties in tone. The mahogany neck adds strength, as the wood is quite durable and will stand up to the elements. The rosewood bridge and fretboard produces lasting sustain, in a deep appearance.

Dressed in a polyurethane finish and featuring such desirable appointments as sealed die-cast tuners and nickel hardware, you will love the look of the Epiphone AJ-220S guitar as much as its sound. Built under the expertise of Epiphone's master craftsmen, this acoustic guitar will sound excellent for a very long time. And at this price, you can't go wrong.

The TC Electronic Flashback Delay Guitar Effects Pedal features 6 seconds delay time of every delay type you could ever wish for, from TC Electronic's legendary 2290 to a slapback, with 10 different types to choose from and it also doubles as a looper.

From Fender's Artist Series, this Telecaster features an alder body with a maple "C" shape neck, rosewood fingerboard and 2 vintage style single-coil Tele pickups with alnico magnets.

Designed in cooperation with the Strummer estate, the Joe Strummer electric guitar has a highly distressed "road-worn" treatment that duplicates the original's worn-to-the-wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint. It also features a "Revolution Rock" engraved neckplate and a limited edition art customization kit that includes Strummer-inspired stencils, stickers and graphics by designer Shepard Fairey.

Strummer was, of course, the Clash's articulate and fiery co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead singer; he later founded, recorded and toured with the Mescaleros. All his life, he vigorously championed individuality, self-expression and change--tenets often reflected in the constantly altered look of his favorite instrument--his Telecaster (currently on display in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland), an otherwise standard '60s-era model with all the original parts and specifications.

When Strummer bought it in 1975 for $120, the guitar had a Three-color Sunburst finish. He was having none of that, of course, but his improvised DIY gray and black "finishes" deteriorated quickly, giving the Telecaster its distinctive look. Like Strummer's music, the battered electric guitar changed constantly--plastered as it was with stencils, stickers and new paint jobs through the many stages of Strummer's life and career.

To celebrate Strummer's fierce sense of individuality, Fender and acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey collaborated on the new guitar's limited edition Joe Strummer Telecaster customization kit, which includes stencils and stickers inspired by the custom designs Strummer decorated many of his instruments with. The kit comes in a classic 12" album cover featuring graphics by Fairey and photography by Bob Gruen and will accompany the first 1,500 guitars.

The legacy of Joe Strummer (1952-2002) continues to live on, grow louder and shake up the establishment with the release of the Joe Strummer Telecaster, modeled after the beat up and battle-hardened '66 Tele he wielded as leader of "the only band that matters"--seminal Brit punk commando unit the Clash.

Equal parts tribute and roadworthy rocker.
