Yamaha Arius YDP145 Rosewood

This second hand digital piano is in great condition. A couple of tiny marks on the cabinet, but nothing notable.

The Yamaha YDP-145 Arius is an elegant digital piano designed to bring the sound and playing experience of an acoustic piano into the home. Finished in attractive Dark Rosewood, it combines a traditional upright piano appearance with modern digital technology, making it an excellent choice for beginners, developing students and more experienced players looking for a quality home instrument.

At the heart of the YDP-145 is Yamaha's impressive CFX concert grand piano sound, sampled from the company's flagship concert grand. This delivers a rich, expressive piano tone with sparkling highs and a deep, resonant bass response. Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) further enhances the sound by recreating the sympathetic resonance of an acoustic piano, adding depth and realism to the playing experience.

The 88-note Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard provides a weighted playing action, with heavier keys in the lower register and a lighter touch towards the top. This closely replicates the feel of an acoustic piano and makes it particularly suitable for developing proper playing technique. Three integrated pedals provide damper, sostenuto and soft functions, while the damper pedal also supports half-pedalling for greater expressive control.

The YDP-145 offers 10 built-in instrument voices, including electric piano, organ, vibraphone and strings, providing plenty of variety beyond its excellent acoustic piano sound. There are also 353 built-in songs, comprising 50 classical pieces and 303 practice exercises, making it a useful instrument for learning and developing technique. Additional features include two-track recording, Duo mode and compatibility with Yamaha's Smart Pianist app.

A built-in stereo speaker system delivers 16 watts of amplification, providing a clear and balanced sound for everyday playing. For quieter practice, two headphone connections are provided, together with Yamaha's Stereophonic Optimizer technology for a more natural and spacious headphone experience.

The Yamaha YDP-145 is a well-rounded digital piano that combines Yamaha's renowned piano sound with a realistic weighted keyboard and an attractive traditional cabinet. Offering excellent sound quality, useful learning features and straightforward operation, it is a superb choice for home practice and everyday playing.
