The Digital Piano That Feels Like the Real Thing

See Why the Arius YDP-184 Is Perfect for Your Home

World-Class Yamaha CFX Grand Piano in Your Living Room

Hear the Same Piano Sound as Concert Pianists

The Yamaha CFX is a 9-foot concert grand that costs more than most cars. It is the piano of choice for international competitions and Carnegie Hall performances. Now you get that exact same sound—sampled note by note from the actual instrument. Every sparkling high note, every resonant bass tone, every subtle harmonic. This is not an approximation or simulation. It is the real CFX, captured with studio precision and ready to play whenever you are.

Elegant Design That Complements Any Room

A Piano That Looks as Good as It Sounds

Most digital pianos look like cheap keyboards on stands. The Arius YDP-184 looks like furniture you would choose for your home. Clean flowing lines, premium finish options, and a design that fits naturally next to your couch or by the window. Guests will notice it. You will be proud to own it. And it comes with a matching bench so everything coordinates perfectly.

Graded Hammer Action Feels Like an Acoustic Grand

Keys That Build Real Piano Technique

Cheap keyboards have springy keys that teach bad habits. The YDP-184 uses Graded Hammer 3 action—the same weighted mechanism found in acoustic pianos. Low notes feel heavier, high notes feel lighter, just like a real grand. Your fingers learn proper strength and control. If you ever sit down at an acoustic piano, your technique transfers instantly. This is how serious students practice at home.

Virtual Resonance Modeling Recreates Acoustic Piano Behavior

Realistic Resonance That Responds to Your Touch

On a real grand piano, strings vibrate in sympathy with each other. Press the sustain pedal and the whole soundboard comes alive with complex harmonics. Most digital pianos cannot do this—they just play back samples. The YDP-184 uses Virtual Resonance Modeling to calculate these interactions in real time. Hold down keys while playing others. Press the pedal halfway. The piano responds naturally, just like an acoustic instrument. Even through headphones, it feels authentic.

Soft, Sostenuto, and Sustain with Half-Damper Control

Three Pedals for Complete Musical Expression

Many digital pianos give you one cheap pedal that only does on-off sustain. The YDP-184 has three full-sized pedals built into the cabinet, just like an acoustic grand. The sustain pedal even detects how far down you press it—half pedaling works exactly as it should. You can execute advanced techniques like pedal blending, selective sustain, and dynamic color changes. If you are learning classical repertoire, you need this level of control.

Two Headphone Jacks for Lessons and Duets

Practice Together Without Disturbing Anyone

Want to practice at midnight without waking your family? Plug in headphones. Need a teacher to listen during your lesson? The YDP-184 has two headphone jacks so you both can hear. Want to play a duet with your child? Both of you can wear headphones and practice together in complete silence. No other instrument lets you do this. Your neighbors will thank you.

Smart Pianist App Makes Settings Simple

Control Everything from Your Phone

The piano has dozens of settings and voices, but the built-in controls are basic. Connect your phone or tablet via USB and the free Smart Pianist app gives you full control with a beautiful touch interface. Change instrument sounds, adjust reverb, transpose keys, access sheet music, and more—all from your device screen. No hunting through cryptic button combinations. Just tap and play.

Combine Piano with Strings, Choir, or Other Instruments

Layer Two Sounds for Richer Music

Sometimes you want more than just piano sound. Dual Voice Mode lets you layer two instruments at once—piano with strings creates lush cinematic textures. Piano with choir adds ethereal depth. Piano with electric piano gives you jazz fusion tones. You play normally and hear both sounds blended together. It is perfect for creative arrangements, worship music, or just exploring new sonic possibilities.

Built-In Two-Track Recorder for Practice and Performance

Record Your Playing to Track Progress

How do you know if you are actually improving? Record yourself. The YDP-184 has a built-in two-track recorder so you can capture your playing, listen back, and hear exactly what needs work. Record your right hand, then your left hand separately to master difficult passages. Record a performance to share with your teacher. No computer needed, no cables, no audio interface. Just press record and play.

Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Absorb Moisture

Textured Key Tops That Feel Natural

Smooth plastic keys get slippery when your hands sweat during practice. The YDP-184 uses synthetic ebony and ivory key tops with a slightly textured surface that absorbs moisture and gives you better grip. Your fingers stay in control even during long practice sessions. It is the same material used on professional-grade Yamaha pianos, and it makes a noticeable difference in playability and comfort.
