Yamaha YDP-162

Yamaha Arius YDP 162 PE Digital Piano

The Arius YDP-162PE from Yamaha is an 88-key digital piano featuring a graded-hammer action keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops designed to emulate the feel of an acoustic piano. It has damper, sostenuto, and soft foot pedals with continuous control and provides playback from two oval speakers and built-in dual 20-watt amplifiers or two 1/4" headphone jacks. 

The piano allows for selecting between a soft, medium, hard, or fixed touch response to correspond to the performer's individual playing style. The PureCF sound engine powers ten built-in voices that are based on samples taken from the company's concert grand piano. Two voices can be layered for creating new sounds. 

A built-in two-track MIDI recorder allows for capturing a performance and playing it back. Using the feature, right- and left-hand performances can be recorded separately at any tempo, and then either hand can be played back by the piano for additional practice. Fifty songs are built-in, allowing for additional learning opportunities.
