Yamaha Arius YDP-145 Digital Piano With Matching Stand And Bench - YDP145R

Yamaha Arius YDP-145 Digital Piano With Matching Stand And Bench - YDP145R

The Yamaha Arius YDP-145 digital piano is the replacement for the previous model, YDP-144. Upgrades in the Yamaha YDP145 include an improved CFX Sound Engine, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), and a Volume Limiter.

There are at least two very important features a digital piano must-have for an experienced piano teacher to recommend to their students: 1) true piano touch, and 2) authentic piano tone. The Yamaha Arius YDP-145 meets these teacher recommendations easily.

True Piano Touch
The Arius YDP145 has Yamaha’s Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) piano action, which provides a heavier touch in the low end and a lighter touch in the high end, similar to the hammers in an acoustic piano. For students, practicing with the GHS action builds proper finger technique and helps build hand and finger strength. An additional benefit, the matte finish on the black keys, makes them less slippery when playing for an extended period.

Authentic Piano Tone
Yamaha’s CFX Premium Grand Piano Voice in the YDP 145 recreates the power and tone of Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano, producing a very dynamic and expressive sound. This technology is the result of years of piano-making history and expertise in state-of-the-art sampling technology.

Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) Lite Technology
VRM technology in the Arius YDP-145 faithfully reproduces string resonance using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling) and produces a sound more like that of a real acoustic piano. VRM technology allows you to vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal. VRM only affects the Piano Voices.

The Smart Pianist App gives you full control over your piano's major functions using your smart device and also analyzes your favorite songs right out of your music library using chord tracker technology. It allows you to use functions like selecting Voices, controlling the metronome, or displaying the score on your smart device. It is available as a free download from Yamaha and requires the UD-WL01 USB Wireless LAN adaptor when using WI-FI.

The Stereophonic Optimizer in the Yamaha Arius YDP145 digital piano is unique to Yamaha and adjusts the spacing of the sound and the separation from the piano when using headphones. The resulting spacious, and surround sound quality will inspire you to play for hours on end. The sound of the piano seems to come from the body of the instrument rather than from the headphones, providing a more realistic and natural experience.

Other important features include a 2-track song recorder, a dual-mode for playing two voices together, Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) that automatically ensures the richest tone at any volume level, and the USB TO HOST port for connecting to a computer or mobile device.

• Clean the Keys: Gently wipe the keys with a microfiber cloth to remove oils, dirt, and fingerprints. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly dampened cloth and dry the keys immediately to avoid moisture buildup.
• Keep It Dry: Avoid placing drinks or liquids near the piano. If any liquid spills on it, wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth to prevent any internal damage.
• Use a Surge Protector: Plug the piano into a surge protector to shield it from electrical surges or spikes that can damage the internal electronics.
• Store in a Suitable Location: Place the piano in a dry, cool room, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity, which could cause long-term damage to the internal components and wood finish.
• Keep the Bench Clean: Clean the matching bench with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or stains. If it has a fabric seat, consider using fabric cleaner as directed to preserve its appearance.
• Use a Dust Cover: When not in use, cover the piano with a dust cover to protect it from dust, dirt, and environmental factors. This will help preserve the finish and extend the life of the instrument.
• Check for Updates: If applicable, check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure your digital piano remains up-to-date with any performance enhancements or bug fixes.
