Yamaha YDP-166B ARIUS Digital Piano with Bench – Black

The Yamaha YDP-166B ARIUS Digital Piano combines the elegance of a traditional upright piano with advanced digital sound and keyboard technology. Finished in classic black, it features an 88-key GrandTouch-E™ keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops and escapement, delivering a responsive, piano-like touch for expressive performances. Its Yamaha CFX concert grand piano voice captures the rich, resonant tone of Yamaha’s flagship concert grand, while Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) adds depth by recreating the natural resonance of an acoustic piano. The refined cabinet, sliding key cover and integrated music rest make the YDP-166B an excellent addition to home music rooms and practice spaces.

Designed to support both learning and expressive playing, the YDP-166B includes 10 instrument Voices and 353 built-in songs, comprising 50 classical pieces, 303 lesson songs and 10 Voice demonstration songs. Its 192-note maximum polyphony helps preserve notes during complex passages, 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 for teacher-and-student practice. Additional features include adjustable touch sensitivity, a built-in metronome, transpose and tuning functions, and Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which helps maintain tonal balance at lower listening volumes.

The Yamaha YDP-166B is equipped with three pedals—Damper, Sostenuto and Soft—with half-pedal support on the Damper pedal for nuanced sustain control. Its upgraded speaker system features two 12 cm speakers with diffuser grilles, powered by dual 20 W amplifiers for clear, room-filling sound. Bluetooth connectivity supports wireless audio playback and compatible smart-device connections, while the USB TO HOST port enables connection to compatible computers and devices. Stereophonic Optimizer enhances the listening experience through headphones, making private practice more immersive. Supplied with a matching bench as specified in this package, the YDP-166B offers a complete, elegant setup for home playing.
