This simple yet stylish ARIUS offers all the benefits of a digital piano whilst being designed by Yamaha to closely simulate the experience of playing a grander acoustic. The Yamaha ARIUS YDP-161 is picking up lots of good reviews. This particular piano is one of the high end offerings with several important features that users are seeming to love. The YDP-161 uses AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling to produce sounds that most closely express the piano characteristics, obtained through rigorous recording. The ARIUS YDP-161 also uses a new amp. The “Tone Escape” outlet for sound coming from the back of the keyboard has been widened which results in a clearer sound with increased volume feel.

The Yamaha YDP-161 has a maximum polyphony of 128, which is the average for all Upright Digital Piano Digital Pianos and Keyboards. The Yamaha YDP-161 has 88 keys with 3 pedals. This unit is not solid wood although you would never know it by looking at it. It has a rosewood look and feel to it that is surprisingly like real furniture.
