Yamaha ARIUS YDP-145 Digital Piano

Classic design meets modern innovation.
The Yamaha ARIUS YDP-145 is a full-sized, 88-key digital piano that captures the expressive sound and touch of an acoustic grand in a sleek, home-friendly design. Featuring Yamaha’s renowned CFX concert grand piano sampling, Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard, and the new Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite), the YDP-145 delivers stunning realism, powerful tone, and an authentic playing experience — perfect for students, teachers, and hobbyists alike.

Beautiful Sound, Authentic Expression

At the heart of the YDP-145 is the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano Voice, meticulously sampled to reproduce the brilliance, warmth, and resonance of Yamaha’s flagship concert instrument. From sparkling highs to powerful bass, every note is rich in harmonic depth and dynamic clarity.

• CFX concert grand piano sampling for stunning realism

• Consistent tone across the full 88-key range

• Expressive dynamic response ideal for practice or performance

Realistic Grand Piano Touch

The Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard accurately simulates the feel of an acoustic piano, with heavier touch in the lower keys and lighter response in the upper range. Its matte black keytops provide a comfortable, non-slip surface for extended play. Combined with half-damper pedal control, the YDP-145 captures every nuance of your touch and pedaling technique.

• 88-key GHS weighted action replicates grand piano feel

• Half-damper pedal control for expressive realism

• Matte black keytops for a premium tactile experience

Harmonic Resonance and Tone Escapement

Using Yamaha’s VRM Lite (Virtual Resonance Modeling), the YDP-145 reproduces the complex sympathetic overtones and resonances that occur when strings, soundboard, and body interact — just like in an acoustic piano. A tone escapement construction on the rear panel allows sound to naturally radiate, creating a more three-dimensional, immersive listening experience.

• VRM Lite simulates rich acoustic resonance

• Tone escapement design enhances natural sound projection

• Deep, spatial tone that fills any room

Smart Features and App Integration

With built-in Bluetooth® MIDI and USB connectivity, the YDP-145 works seamlessly with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app. Control instrument functions, access scores for over 350 built-in songs, and customize piano tone and resonance—all from your smartphone or tablet.

• Smart Pianist app compatibility for interactive control and learning

• 353 built-in songs including classical pieces and practice exercises

• 10 Voices, including electric piano, organ, and strings

• Record and playback your performances directly on the piano

Comfortable and Immersive Headphone Experience

When practicing privately, the YDP-145’s Stereophonic Optimizer creates the spacious sound of sitting in front of an acoustic grand — even through headphones. The system also adjusts tonal balance automatically based on the master volume, keeping the sound natural and easy on the ears.

• Stereophonic Optimizer for natural headphone sound

• Volume Limiter protects hearing during long sessions

• Balanced tone at all volume levels

Elegant Design for Modern Living
