Yamaha ‘ARIUS’ YDP-146B Digital Piano Black (NEW MODEL)

Play with natural touch and control

The YDP-146B features Yamaha’s improved Graded Hammer Standard keyboard, designed to replicate the weight distribution of an acoustic piano. Lower notes feel heavier beneath your fingers, while higher notes offer a lighter response, helping you develop technique that transfers naturally to acoustic instruments. Whether you’re practising scales, learning new repertoire, or refining performance pieces, the keyboard provides a familiar and comfortable playing experience. Updated sensor technology further improves responsiveness, accurately capturing subtle dynamics and repeated keystrokes. Fast passages feel more controlled, while expressive playing benefits from greater precision. The result is a keyboard that responds reliably to your touch across a wide range of musical styles.

Enjoy clear sound throughout the room

Drawing on Yamaha’s extensive experience in piano design and audio engineering, the YDP-146B features a newly developed speaker system that produces clear, rich sound from a compact cabinet. Every note is reproduced with balance and detail, helping performances sound natural whether you’re playing quietly or at full volume. A specially designed diffuser grille spreads sound more evenly throughout the room, allowing higher frequencies to travel naturally while maintaining balance across the full tonal range. This creates a comfortable listening experience for both the player and anyone nearby, helping the piano feel more engaging in everyday use.

Experience the sound of the Yamaha CFX

At the heart of the YDP-146B is the sound of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano. Known for its broad dynamic range and expressive character, the CFX provides a detailed and responsive piano voice that reacts naturally to changes in playing intensity. Gentle passages retain warmth and clarity, while more powerful performances deliver depth and presence. This responsive sound engine allows you to explore dynamics with confidence, making practice sessions, lessons, and casual performances feel more rewarding and musically satisfying.

Practise comfortably at any volume

The YDP-146B is designed to fit naturally into daily life, making it easy to practise whenever inspiration strikes. Intelligent Acoustic Control automatically adjusts tonal balance as the volume changes, helping preserve clarity and musical detail even during quieter sessions. This is particularly useful for evening practice or shared living spaces, where lower volumes are often necessary. By maintaining a balanced sound across the keyboard, the piano remains enjoyable to play without sacrificing the character of your performance. Combined with its elegant cabinet design, the YDP-146B offers a practical solution for long-term musical development at home.

Expanded control with Smart Pianist

The YDP-146B is compatible with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, giving you an easy way to control key piano functions from your smartphone or tablet. Available free for iOS and Android devices, the app lets you select voices, adjust settings, record performances, and access features through a simple interface. Built-in Bluetooth audio also allows you to stream music from your smart device through the piano’s speakers, making play-along practice even easier.

Smart Pianist includes helpful tools for developing your skills. The Guide feature pauses accompaniment until you play the correct note, helping you learn at your own pace. There’s also a Medal Challenge mode that evaluates your performances and awards medals, giving you a clear way to track progress and stay motivated. Plus, compatible songs can display chord information and digital notation on your smart device.
