The Yamaha Arius YDP181 88-key weighted digital piano first shipped in the summer of 2010. It is the replacement for the best selling YDP223, which began shipping in November 2002. An eight year lifespan for a digital piano in this day and age is incredible!
As the replacement for the Yamaha YDP223, the YDP181 has some big shoes to fill, but based on its specifications and sales, it is doing an admiral job.One of the most noticeable differences is the sound. The YDP181 features High Resolution piano samples with damper resonance and 128 note polyphony (the YDP223 had 64). Other new features include a 2-track, 3 song sequencer and USB TO DEVICE port for storing your data.
With the Graded Hammer Effect keyboard, lower notes on the keyboard have a heavier touch, just as on a traditional acoustic piano, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The GH keyboard features an extra key sensor capable of reproducing fast repetitive playing of a single note with perfect articulation, and the matte finish of the black keys enhances the keyboard's luxurious appearance.
If you've been wanting a digital piano, but can't make up your mind, take a look at the Yamaha YDP181. It has a long heritage and has proven it's up to the task.
