    Classic & Elegant design: An authentic, expressive piano experience, YDP-144 offers grand piano-like experience, featuring the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand sound and realistic Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard.

    The powerful tone of the acclaimed CFX concert grand piano. Newly sampled for the YDP-144, the Yamaha flagship 9' CFX concert grand piano offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass combined in a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010, and has since gained recognition as one of the greatest concert grands of modern times.

    Authentic acoustic piano playability: With an 88-key piano action and synthetic ivory and ebony keys, the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from the heavy feel in the lower register to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GH3 features a three-sensor configuration that accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard to provide a grand piano-style response and feel, allowing rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control.

    Designed for your personal enjoyment: The YDP-144 maintains a rich and balanced sound at any volume level you choose to play at. Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) adjusts the balance of bass and treble automatically to allow players to enjoy a full sound even at a lower volume. Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the natural, spacious sound experienced when sitting in front of an acoustic piano, even when wearing headphones. When using this function, Voices sampled from acoustic pianos are perceived to come from the body of the instrument itself, not your headphones, providing a comfortable, natural experience.

    Smart Pianist: Get more with the Smart Pianist App. Enjoy the piano more with Smart Pianist, a dedicated app that adds a beautiful graphic interface and a variety of incredible features to your compatible Yamaha digital piano.

    Intuitive operation: From selecting instrument Voices or adjusting settings to practicing with a metronome or recording your masterpieces, Smart Pianist gets you making music faster and lets you focus on the fun.

    Play your favorite songs: Smart Pianist scans the audio songs loaded in your Music Library, analyzes the chord progressions and then displays them for you on the screen of your smart device. Play along as the chords scroll by, all while hearing the song play back through your instrument's speaker system. Loading MIDI songs into the app will allow you to follow along with digital sheet music while you play.

      Great piano feels and sounds like an acoustic

      Posted by CK Lee on 9th Oct 2019

      I am very happy with this purchase. It arrived on time. I was a little worried because the box looked like it had been opened before but I figured maybe it was to insert the free ear phones. Looks like that was right because everything was properly packed inside and obviously had not been tampered with. It was easy to put together and everything fit well.
      I highly recommend this piano. I guess there are better Yamahas for more money but this is a really good one in my opinion.

      Yamaha Arius YDP-144 Digital Piano

      Posted by Jason Birchmeier on 13th Aug 2019

      Yamaha Arius YDP-144 digital piano is an update of the popular YDP-143 model and a step up from the entry-level YDP-103 piano. It offers a furniture-style console design that makes it an attractive addition to your living room or home. The weighted-action keys feel like a real piano -- heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys -- and the built-in stand looks like real wood. Yamaha's Arius series of console pianos aren't as affordable as their popular P-45 and P-125 digital pianos, nor are they as compact or easily transportable. They're a great long-term addition to your household, though, if you're a life-long musician looking for a high-quality piano with a classy design that fits in with your furniture. If you can afford the higher price point, YDP-164 is the next step up, with additional functionality. YDP-144 comes in black as well as rosewood finish. This particular bundle includes a furniture-style bench, headphones, and instructional materials.
