Yamaha YDP-223 Digital Piano
Yamaha YDP-223 Digital Piano
Description:

Classic Look and Feel

The YDP 223 combines great sound and features in an attractive cabinet that will add a touch of elegance to any home. From the moment that you turn it on and start playing, youll be glad you made the decision to buy Yamaha, the world leader in musical instrument manufacturing. The YDP 223 features an 88 Key Graded Hammer Action. Graded Hammer Action emulates the action of a grand piano – heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble areas of the keyboard (on a grand piano, the hammers get thicker as you move from treble to bass). And nobody does this better than Yamaha, one of the most respected manufacturers of upright and grand pianos in the world today. The YDP 223 comes with a selection of 14 voices and features a Stereo Sampled AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) piano sound that feels, reacts and sounds like an acoustic. When you play harder, the sound is louder and brighter. And when you play softly, the sound is quiet and warm. And of course, it never needs tuning!

YDP 223 The Musician's Choice

The YDP 223 is the tool of choice for home hobbyists, professionals, music students and music institutions. There are many useful features built into the keyboard that apply to musicians at any level of playing ability. For example, the keyboard has MIDI In/Out/Thru plus a To Host jack, which are necessary for connecting to computers. Anything you play on the YDP 223 can be captured into a music program in your computer and turned into music notation. If you wish, you can send the file to your friends and family or just archive it like you would a photograph.

There is nothing more rewarding than recording your child's first song and e-mailing it to their favorite grand parent. In addition, there is a 2 track recorder built into the instrument that is extremely intuitive and easy to operate. This feature is wonderful for recording a performance and analyzing it from an audience perspective. But it's not just for practicing its also a lot of fun! For example, you could record an Electric Piano part, then overdub a String track and finally, play a Piano part live while the other 2 tracks are playing back. It's like having your own recording studio right in your living room!

Playing in tune

If you had an acoustic piano in the family growing up, you can probably relate to this. Most of us know its a good idea to have an acoustic piano tuned and regulated at least once a year, preferably more. It's part of the regular maintenance of the instrument and insures that whoever is playing on it is playing their piece of music in pitch something that is very important for ear development. But how many people do you know that actually get their acoustic piano tuned as often as they should? Well, Yamaha Digital pianos never need tuning or regulating. Once you purchase the piano, you can forget about that "maintenance stuff and just enjoy playing your new instrument. About the only maintenance you'll need to do on a Yamaha digital piano is to spoil it once in a while and dust it!

Features

The YDP 223 features a dark rosewood finish Woodgrain cabinet with sliding key cover. You'll notice from the picture that this keyboard has 3 pedals just like its acoustic counterparts. Also included is an LED on the panel (provides visual feedback), a built in Metronome, Digital Reverb (simulates playing in a church or concert hall), Chorus and Brilliance controls, and Transpose which allows you to play in any key you like (great for family sing-a-longs). The instrument comes with 14 different voices for you to choose from. These include 2 Grand Pianos, 2 Electric Pianos, 2 Church Organs, 2 Harpsichords, Vibraphone, 2 Strings, Jazz Organ, Choir and Guitar. And you can combine two sounds at once, like Piano and Strings. For your learning and listening pleasure, you'll find 50 built-in songs with Songbook. And finally, there is a matching padded bench.

Yamaha Arius YDP-140 Digital Piano
Yamaha Arius YDP-140 Digital Piano
Description:

Realistic Piano Touch for the Aspiring Musician

Drawing on over a hundred years of experience and craftsmanship in making world class acoustic pianos, Yamaha introduces the Arius series. All of these instruments provide exceptionally natural, grand piano-like touch, with realistic weight gradations-heavy in the lower end, and light in the upper. The YDP 140 features the entry-level Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with realistic matte black finish key tops. While technically an entry level action (beneath the more sophisticated Graded Hammer Effect), GHS is designed for budding pianists who require weighted keys to develop the proper playing technique for an acoustic grand.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling for Authentic Piano Sound

The Arius series digital pianos feature Yamaha's sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) with Dynamic Stereo Sampling for the ultimate in instrument realism. Taken at different 3 levels of soft, medium and loud each key is comprised of multiple stereo recordings of an actual grand piano. This provides subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys, and gives you full expressive control over the sound. Exceptionally natural key touch of the Graded Hammer Standard keyboard virtually replicates that of an actual grand piano.

Built–in AWM stereo sampled instrument Voices faithfully reproduce their complete range from the soft, dark lows to the glistening, bright highs.

The damper pedal includes an authentic half–damper effect, giving you nuanced expressive control over the sustained sound far more realistic than a simple on/off footswitch.

Built-in song recorder and metronome make the instruments ideal for piano lessons, practicing, or even as a scratch–pad for you next masterpiece. 50 specially selected piano songs of standard piano repertoire are built into each Arius, either for your listening enjoyment or as a rehearsal tool.
