Key Features
  • Does this sound like a real piano or a cheap keyboard? It uses actual recordings of the Yamaha CFX concert grand—the same piano pros play on stage.
  • Will it help me build proper technique? Graded Hammer Standard keyboard with weighted keys teaches correct finger strength from day one.
  • Can I practice late at night without disturbing anyone? Two headphone jacks let you practice silently at any hour, with sound optimization that prevents ear fatigue.
  • Is the sound realistic or does it sound fake through headphones? Virtual Resonance Modeling creates natural string resonance and three-dimensional tone even in headphones.
  • Will this fit in my apartment or small room? Slim, compact design takes up far less space than an acoustic upright while still looking elegant.
  • Does the sustain pedal work like a real piano? Half-damper control responds to partial pedal pressure for nuanced expression and proper technique practice.
  • Can I use my phone to help me learn and practice? Free Smart Pianist app connects via USB and displays sheet music, slows tempo, and tracks your progress.
  • Can I record my playing to hear how I sound? Built-in recording function captures your performances so you can review and improve your playing.
  • Is this good for teaching two students at once? Duo mode splits the keyboard into two identical sections—perfect for side-by-side lessons or parent-child practice.
  • What if I want to play sounds other than piano? 10 different instrument voices including electric piano, harpsichord, strings, and organs for variety.
  • Does it come with music to practice? 353 built-in songs including 50 classical masterpieces and exercises—years of practice material included.
  • Can I layer multiple sounds together? Dual Voice mode lets you combine two sounds simultaneously, like piano with strings for a richer tone.
  • Is it safe for kids to practice at high volumes? Volume limiter function protects young players' hearing by setting a maximum volume level.
  • Do I need external speakers to hear it properly? Powerful built-in speakers deliver clear, room-filling sound without any additional equipment needed.

Real Grand Piano Sound at a Price That Makes Sense

See Why the Arius YDP-145 Is the Smart Choice for Your First Piano

Yamaha CFX Grand Piano Voice in Your Home

Hear the Same Piano Sound Used in Concert Halls

This is not a synthesized approximation. The YDP-145 captures the actual sound of the Yamaha CFX concert grand—the same piano played by professionals on stages worldwide. Every note was recorded in a world-class studio, preserving the sparkling highs and rich bass that make piano music come alive. You get authentic grand piano tone without spending $100,000 on the real thing.

Compact Design for Apartments and Smaller Rooms

Fits Where Other Pianos Won't

Acoustic uprights take up serious floor space and weigh 400+ pounds. The YDP-145 has a slim profile that tucks neatly against any wall, fits through doorways easily, and won't dominate your living room. The clean lines and modern finish look like furniture, not gym equipment. Perfect for apartments, condos, or anyone who doesn't want a massive instrument taking over their space.

Weighted Action That Feels Like a Real Piano

Keys That Build Proper Technique From Day One

Cheap keyboards have springy, toy-like keys that teach bad habits. The YDP-145 uses Graded Hammer Standard action with keys that are heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble—exactly like an acoustic piano. Your fingers learn proper strength and control from the beginning. When you eventually play on a real grand, the transition is seamless because your muscle memory is already correct.

Natural Resonance Technology Creates Living, Breathing Tone

Sound That Responds to How You Play

Real pianos don't just play notes—the strings vibrate together, the soundboard resonates, the whole instrument comes alive. Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite recreates this complexity. Play softly and hear subtle harmonics. Press the sustain pedal and feel the sound bloom. Even through headphones, you get that three-dimensional, immersive experience that makes practice sessions actually enjoyable instead of mechanical.

Half-Damper Control for Precise Expression

Practice Pedal Technique Without Guessing

Most budget digital pianos have pedals that work like light switches—either fully on or fully off. The YDP-145 reads how far down you press, giving you continuous control over sustain. This matters for everything from Chopin to contemporary music. You can practice subtle pedaling techniques at home that translate directly to acoustic pianos in recitals, auditions, or performances.

Two Headphone Jacks for Private Practice or Lessons

Practice at Midnight Without Waking Anyone

Acoustic pianos broadcast to the entire house—and possibly your neighbors. The YDP-145 has two headphone jacks with advanced sound optimization that prevents ear fatigue during long practice sessions. Practice at 11 PM without guilt. Take lessons with a teacher right beside you, both wearing headphones. Or play duets with your kid while the baby naps. Total flexibility on your schedule, not the house's schedule.

Smart Pianist App Shows Sheet Music and Tracks Progress

Your Phone Becomes Your Piano Teacher

Connect your phone or tablet via USB and the free Smart Pianist app displays notation for the 353 built-in songs, lets you slow down tempo for practice, and even shows which keys to play. No more squinting at tiny sheet music or buying separate method books. The app analyzes your playing and helps you improve. It's like having a patient teacher available 24/7 who never charges by the hour.

Layer Two Instrument Sounds for Creative Expression

Sound Like a Piano, Strings, or Both at Once

Want to sound like a grand piano with a string section behind you? Dual Voice mode layers two sounds simultaneously—piano with strings, electric piano with pad, or any combination of the 10 built-in voices. It's perfect for creative exploration, songwriting, or just making your practice sound more interesting. One keyboard, endless sonic possibilities without buying multiple instruments.

Built-In Recording to Track Improvement Over Time

Record Your Playing and Actually Hear Your Progress

You think you played it perfectly until you hear the recording. The YDP-145 lets you record your performances with a single button press and play them back immediately. Practice a tricky passage, record it, then listen objectively. You will catch timing issues, missed notes, and pedaling problems you didn't notice while playing. It's like having a practice partner who gives you honest feedback without judgment. Track your progress week by week and actually see how far you have come.

Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Keytops for Better Grip

Keys That Don't Get Slippery When Your Hands Sweat

Glossy plastic keys get slippery during long practice sessions or performances when your hands perspire. The YDP-145 uses synthetic ebony and ivory keytop materials with a slightly textured surface that absorbs moisture and maintains grip. Your fingers stay in control during fast passages, technical runs, and those nerve-wracking moments when you're playing for an audience. It's the same material used on far more expensive pianos, and once you feel the difference, you can't go back to slick plastic.
