Designed with precision and careful attention to detail, the YDP165 stands as a testament to Yamaha’s legacy of musical excellence and innovation.

The sound of the YDP165 is masterfully sampled from Yamaha’s premier CFX concert grand piano, widely recognized for its vibrant highs and resonant bass tones. This digital piano flawlessly reproduces these characteristics, offering an exceptionally expressive sound that remains true across all keys. From delicate melodies to powerful chords, the YDP165 allows you to explore the breadth of your musical creativity in a manner that is both genuine and deeply moving.

A unique feature of this model is its half-damper function, which mimics the damper action on a grand piano, granting you an extensive range of expressive variation.

In addition, the YDP165 leverages groundbreaking Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) technology to authentically emulate the rich sympathetic resonance typical of a grand piano. The result is a sound that is as complex as it is captivating, infused with tones that respond organically to your playing and pedaling.

The YDP165 also comes equipped with a variety of user-friendly features designed to enhance your playing experience. It includes 10 built-in instrument voices and an impressive library of 353 songs, composed of renowned classical pieces and comprehensive practice exercises. Furthermore, it supports Yamaha’s free Smart Pianist app, enabling you to easily operate the various voice functions of the instrument, view scores of built-in songs, and customize the tonal quality and resonance settings of the piano sound.

Care has been taken to ensure the YDP165 offers a comfortable listening experience. The instrument employs innovative technology that optimally adjusts the sound balance according to the set volume, ensuring a sound that’s easy on the ears, even during extended practice sessions. The YDP165 also incorporates a Stereophonic Optimizer effect that mimics the expansive sound experienced when seated before an acoustic grand piano, even when wearing headphones.

Encased in a stylish cabinet that seamlessly blends straight lines with elegant curves characteristic of a grand piano, the Yamaha Arius YDP165 Digital Piano is available in a range of colors to complement your interior decor. In keeping with a commitment to safety, the YDP165 features a Volume Limiter function to protect your hearing from excessive sound over the speakers or headphones. It also allows for easy recording and playback of performances, making it an invaluable tool for learners and seasoned players alike.
