Yamaha YDP-166 Arius digital piano The Yamaha YDP-166 combines the traditional appearance and expressive feel of an upright piano with the convenience and versatility of modern digital technology. Designed for beginners, returning players and those looking to develop their technique, it features Yamaha's GrandTouch-E™ keyboard, the sound of the flagship CFX concert grand piano and a range of built-in learning and connectivity features to support musical development. Its elegant cabinet design blends naturally into the home while offering an authentic playing experience that encourages practice, creativity and musical expression for years to come. GrandTouch-E™ keyboard for greater expression One of the YDP-166's standout features is its 88-key GrandTouch-E™ keyboard, designed to deliver a feel that is closer to an acoustic grand piano. Whether playing softly or with greater power, the keyboard responds consistently to changes in touch, giving players greater control over dynamics and expression. The three-pedal unit includes damper, soft and sostenuto pedals, while half-pedal functionality allows more precise control of sustain for nuanced performances. Sampled from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand The YDP-166 features a piano voice sampled from Yamaha's renowned CFX concert grand piano, capturing its rich tonal character, powerful bass and clear, expressive treble. The result is a balanced and natural piano sound that responds beautifully across the entire keyboard. Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) recreates the complex resonance produced when strings and the body of an acoustic piano vibrate together, adding depth and realism to every performance. Rich, immersive sound The YDP-166 features a 20W × 2 stereo amplification system working alongside two 12cm speakers with specially designed diffuser grilles to produce a clear, balanced and room-filling sound. The diffuser design helps maintain clarity across the keyboard, creating an enjoyable listening experience for both the player and those nearby. When quiet practice is preferred, simply connect a pair of headphones and continue playing without disturbing others in the home. Built-in features for learning and enjoyment With 10 instrument voices and 353 built-in songs, the YDP-166 offers plenty of opportunities to explore different sounds and expand your repertoire. Whether you're following structured lessons or playing for enjoyment, these features provide inspiration every time you sit down to play. Bluetooth connectivity also allows compatible devices to connect for music streaming and playing along with your favourite tracks, bringing even greater flexibility to everyday practice. More convenience with the Smart Pianist app Simply connect the free Yamaha Smart Pianist app to the YDP-166 via Bluetooth to enjoy even greater convenience. The app provides an intuitive way to control compatible piano functions directly from your smart device, making it easy to access settings without navigating the instrument itself. You can also view sheet music for all 353 preset songs, take advantage of helpful practice functions and record your performances directly to your device, making it a valuable companion for both learning and everyday playing. Elegant design for the modern home Despite its advanced digital features, the YDP-166 retains the timeless appearance of a traditional upright piano with refined curves and clean lines. Available in Dark Rosewood, Black, White Birch and White finishes, it is designed to complement a wide variety of interiors. Combining an expressive GrandTouch-E™ keyboard, Yamaha's acclaimed CFX piano sound and a range of practical digital features, the Yamaha YDP-166 is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a realistic and rewarding home piano.
