Yamaha YDP-146B ARIUS Digital Piano with Bench – Black

The Yamaha YDP-146B ARIUS Digital Piano combines the traditional appearance of an upright piano with the convenience and versatility of modern digital technology. Finished in classic black, it features an 88-key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with matte black keytops, providing a heavier touch in the lower register and a lighter feel in the upper register for a more natural piano-playing experience. Its Yamaha CFX grand piano voice delivers a rich, expressive tone, while Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) and key-off samples add depth and realism to the sound. With its elegant cabinet, sliding key cover and integrated music rest, the YDP-146B is designed to complement home interiors while providing a comfortable playing experience.

Beyond its piano sound, the YDP-146B offers 10 instrument Voices, including electric piano, organ, strings and other sounds for exploring different musical styles. Its 192-note maximum polyphony supports complex passages and sustained notes, while four reverb types add a sense of acoustic space. Dual mode allows two instrument Voices to be layered, and Duo mode divides the keyboard into two sections with matching octave ranges, making it useful for lessons and shared practice. The piano includes 353 preset songs, comprising 50 classical pieces and 303 lesson songs, alongside 10 Voice demonstration songs. A built-in metronome, adjustable touch sensitivity, transpose and tuning functions provide additional support for practice and musical development.

Designed for everyday home playing, the Yamaha YDP-146B features three pedals—Damper, Sostenuto and Soft—with half-pedal functionality on the Damper pedal for more nuanced expression. Its stereo sound system uses two 12 cm speakers with diffuser grilles, powered by dual 8 W amplifiers. Two headphone outputs enable quiet practice, while USB connectivity supports connection to compatible computers and smart devices. Bluetooth audio and MIDI availability depends on the regional version and compatible connection setup. The traditional black cabinet, sliding key cover and included matching bench create a coordinated piano setup suitable for bedrooms, living rooms and dedicated music spaces.
