What we think of the Yamaha YDP144 digital piano
The Yamaha YDP144 is the first 'piano style' model in the latest digital piano lineup, and with its fully weighted 88 note, graded hammer action keyboard and authentic piano sound in a compact, piano style cabinet is the ideal first step on your musical journey. The Yamaha CFX concert grand piano has been re-sampled for this latest range of YDP series digital pianos, and also includes key-off resonance, string resonance and damper resonance for an authentic response. Features such as Stereophonic Optimiser and Intelligent Acoustic Control for improved tonality through headphones have been borrowed from the higher end Clavinova models, and there is also a two track record facility with a metronome to assist with practising. Compatibility with Yamaha's Smart Pianist app makes learning fun and intuitive, and it also acts as a remote control for the pianos sounds.
