Yamaha YDP-146R ARIUS Digital Piano with Bench – Dark Rosewood

The Yamaha YDP-146R ARIUS Digital Piano combines the elegance of a traditional upright piano with the convenience of modern digital technology. Finished in a rich dark rosewood colour, it features an 88-key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with matte black keytops, delivering a heavier touch in the lower register and a lighter feel in the higher register for a natural piano-playing experience. Its Yamaha CFX concert grand piano voice produces a rich, expressive tone, enhanced by Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) and key-off samples for added realism. With its classic cabinet design, sliding key cover and integrated music rest, the YDP-146R is an attractive and practical choice for home practice, piano lessons and everyday performance.

The YDP-146R offers 10 instrument Voices, including acoustic piano, electric piano, organ and strings, allowing players to explore a range of musical styles. Its 192-note maximum polyphony supports complex passages and sustained notes, while four reverb types add depth and ambience to performances. Dual mode allows two 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 also includes 353 preset songs—50 classical pieces and 303 lesson songs—alongside 10 Voice demonstration songs. A built-in metronome, adjustable touch sensitivity, transpose and tuning functions provide useful tools for developing timing, technique and musical expression.

Designed for comfortable everyday use, the Yamaha YDP-146R features three pedals—Damper, Sostenuto and Soft—with half-pedal functionality on the Damper pedal for more nuanced sustain control. Its stereo sound system uses two 12 cm speakers with diffuser grilles, powered by dual 8 W amplifiers for clear, balanced sound. Two headphone outputs support quiet practice, while USB connectivity enables connection to compatible computers and smart devices. Bluetooth audio and MIDI functionality may vary by region, and the compatible Yamaha Smart Pianist app offers additional control and learning features. Supplied with a matching bench in this package, the YDP-146R provides a coordinated, furniture-style piano setup for the home.
