Yamaha digital piano with CFX grand piano sound
If you are looking for a digital piano for home use with a clear piano character, the Yamaha YDP 165 B Arius Piano is closely shaped around the experience of a real grand piano. Its main piano voice is carefully sampled from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand, giving you sparkling highs, a powerful resonant bass and plenty of nuance across the full keyboard.
Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite adds the sympathetic resonance you also hear on a grand piano when strings and soundboard respond together. Combined with the rear sound opening construction, this creates a natural sound projection with a more spacious, three-dimensional character.
88 weighted keys and expressive control
The 88-key GH3 keyboard recreates the touch of an acoustic piano with a heavier feel in the lower register and a lighter response in the upper octaves. That makes this Yamaha ARIUS well suited to daily practice, to players who want an authentic touch, and to anyone looking for control in fast note repetition and dynamic nuance.
The half-damper function also adds more refined pedal control, comparable to the damper action of a grand piano. The keys use synthetic ebony and synthetic ivory keytops, matching the premium playing feel of the YDP-165.
More than just piano sound
Alongside its main piano sound, you get a total of 10 voices, including electric piano, organ, vibraphone and strings. There are 353 built-in songs, including 50 famous classical pieces and 303 exercises from methods by Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny and Hanon, which makes this digital piano especially appealing for study and regular lessons.
The Yamaha YDP 165 works with the free Smart Pianist app, letting you control voices, call up scores for built-in songs and adjust tone and reverberation settings in the Piano Room function. If you often play with headphones, the volume-dependent sound balance correction and Stereophonic Optimizer help maintain a natural and comfortable spacious sound. Through Magna Music, you can also count on personal advice from musicians if you want to compare this Yamaha digital piano with other home models.
