Yamaha YDP-143R

10-voice Digital Piano with Wood Cabinet and Bench

This Yamaha Arius makes a fine studio piano for pros and a solid practice tool for students. Yamaha took special care to make its YDP-143 sound and respond like one of its world-class concert grands. By using multi-velocity samples, a GHS hammer-action keybed, and powerful stereo speakers, the Arius provides a convincing approximation of a Yamaha CFIIIS grand along with nine other voices. For practice and productivity, an onboard 2-track recorder lets to record your own accompaniment and work on hands separately. And thanks to a real wood cabinet and matching bench, the Yamaha Arius YDP-143 is sure to add an elegant look and inviting atmosphere to your home studio or living room.

Traditional upright-piano look makes a striking first impression

Before you even get your hands on the the Yamaha Arius YDP-143, you’ll be stunned by its richly-finished rosewood cabinet and elegant appointments. These give the Arius an inviting acoustic allure that won’t look out of place in a living room, teaching studio, recital hall, or house of worship. Includes a matching rosewood bench for a traditional look.

GHS graded hammer action plays more like an acoustic piano

Sweetwater keyboardists have been impressed with the Arius pianos’ Graded Hammer Action (GHS) keybeds. This feature gives the YDP-143 a realistic key response that’s heavier in the bass side and lighter on the top end. Matte black keytops absorb sweat and moisture to keep fingers from slipping through extended periods of use. Though not quite as realistic feeling as the higher-end Ariuses, the YDP-143 does a great job for students and weekenders.
