Yamaha Arius YDP-165B Digital Piano Matte Black

Beautiful, Powerful Sound Sampled from the Premium Yamaha CFX Concert Grand

The YDP-165 features a piano sound sampled from Yamaha's high-end CFX concert grand - a renowned piano that combines brilliant highs and a powerful, resonant bass in an exceptionally expressive tone.

The YDP-165 has the same individual sound - from the low to the high keys - full of brilliance and rich in colorful harmonic content. It gives you extraordinary expressiveness and nuances that feel authentic both in your daily practice and your most emotional performances.

Authentic Acoustic Playability and Full Control with the Half-Pedal Unit

With an 88-key piano action, the GH3 keyboard (Graded Hammer 3) mimics the touch of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel on the lower keys to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GH3 keyboard offers the functionality and playing feel of a grand piano, enabling fast repetition and authentic expressive control. Additionally, there is a half-damper function that authentically reproduces the damper effect of a grand piano, allowing for diverse expressive variations.

Harmonic Resonance Like a Grand Piano - Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite)

One fascination of the grand piano is the distinctive resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. The YDP-165 reproduces this strong resonance effect through groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite). VRM Lite generates a rich sound by simulating the complex resonances that occur when string vibrations transfer to the soundboard and other strings. This happens according to the timing and intensity of playing on the keyboard and pedals.

Robust and Powerful Sound Produced by the "Tone Escapement Construction"

The YDP-165 uses a newly developed "Tone Escapement" technology on the back, which, in addition to the speakers, projects sound from inside the piano outward. This way, you experience natural sound radiation and three-dimensional resonance like on an acoustic piano.

A Variety of Built-In Songs and Intuitive Operation with the Smart Pianist App

Besides authentic grand piano sounds, the YDP-165 offers various other instruments with a total of 10 voices - including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings.

The YDP-165 also features 353 built-in songs, including 50 famous classical pieces and 303 comprehensive exercises from renowned methods such as Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny, and Hanon. The instrument is also compatible with Yamaha's free Smart Pianist app - simply download it on your smart device and connect it to the instrument*.

With the Smart Pianist app, you can easily control the instrument's various voice functions and access the sheet music display for both internal and external songs. It also offers a comprehensive Piano Room function, allowing you to adjust the tone quality and resonance settings of the piano sound to your preferences.

* A cable connection is required. Make sure to purchase the appropriate cable for your smart device.

Features for Improved Listening Comfort When Using Headphones

The YDP-165 uses new technology that optimally adjusts the sound balance according to the volume you select - for an exceptionally natural sound that protects your ears even during long playing sessions.

It also features a stereophonic optimizer effect, allowing you to enjoy the natural, spatial sound you experience in front of an acoustic grand piano, even when playing with headphones.

A Stylish Design That Fits Your Interior

Although mostly based on straight lines, it impresses with a stylish design featuring additional elegant curves typical of a grand piano. Moreover, you can choose from a variety of color options to perfectly match your interior and personal taste.
