zZounds Gear Experts Say...

With GH3 weighted hammer action, CFX Stereo Sampling, and Tone Escapement for authentic feel and sound, the Arius YDP-165 is a premium home digital piano.

Overview

The Yamaha Arius YDP-165 is a great choice for the hobbyist, student or parent of a student. It's 88-note weighted action (GH3) features synthetic ebony and ivory key tops for authentic acoustic piano feel. Combine this keyboard action with the sound of the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand, with improved sound engine, and you get an expressive and immersive piano experience.

Connecting an iOS device running the Smart Pianist app lets players select Voices, record performances and configure settings with even greater ease. Furthermore, the Smart Pianist app can analyze songs stored in your music library and produce a chord chart, allowing you to learn and play along with your favorite songs.

Features:

- Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) with synthetic ivory key tops add a tactile surface to the white keys, which absorbs finger moisture and prevents slipping.
- CFX Stereo Sampling faithfully reproduces the sound of Yamaha's flagship CFX Full Concert Grand.
- Tone Escapement uses a long and narrow hole in the back of the piano to create a wide sound space.
- 3 Piano Style Pedals offer authentic sustain, sostenuto, and soft pedal performance.
- VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) Lite technology makes the sound more like that of a real acoustic piano by reproducing the sophisticated string resonance of an acoustic piano.
