Perfect for beginning students and experienced players alike, the ARIUS Series provides true piano sound and feel. The Graded Hammer Standard keyboard of the YDP-142 makes it a true joy to play, both in practice and in performance. Newly installed Pure CF Sound Engine delivers remarkably authentic piano sound.

The piano sound is created by Yamaha's "Pure CF Sound Engine", the same technology which has earned high praise in the renowned Clavinova range. Put simply, it lets you enjoy a playing response and expressive capability beyond your expectation of a digital piano. 128 note polyphony ensures that YDP-142 can handle demanding repertoire, even in complex passages, without losing notes.

For every piano player, the touch feeling like acoustic piano is essential. Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Keyboard realizes the heavier touch on lower notes, and lighter response on higher notes. The YDP-142 can be a reliable partner for you with this GHS keyboard having received high reputation for long time.

To make the YDP-142 be your favorite, you can select touch sensitivity from 3 types - hard, medium, or soft - depending on your finger strength or playing style. You can play with your favorite keyboard setting which matches to you.

The "Acoustic Optimizer", a new technology which is unique to Yamaha, has been created to enrich and control resonance by physically adjusting the flow of sound waves, thanks to its design and positioning within the instrument. The combination of Acoustic Optimizer and digital technologies gives YDP-142 an incredible expressive capability.

For pianists who want to practice quietly, Intelligent Acoustic Control function automatically adjusts the sound so that you can still experience a balanced, rich tone even at low volumes. For silent practice, a headphone connection socket is provided.
