Perhaps the best option when it comes to a digital piano that is perfect for both a student and a professional is the Yamaha YDP-181 Arius Home Digital Piano. The YDP-181 is ideal for both beginners and experienced players simply because it is simple yet produces a genuine piano sound and feel. It has a Graded Hammer performance as well which makes it very comfortable to play with during practices and performances. It also boasts of its 3-level AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling voices that is capable of producing an authentic sound, which is why the YDP-181 is more impressive than the rest of the digital pianos in the market today.
The YDP-181 does not only provide a playing pleasure, but offers recording convenience as well. It uses a USB port for storing recorded songs done by any other instrument. It also has a damper pedal that has a half-damper feature, providing a shaded yet expressive control over any sound. Aside from that, the YDP-181 is also capable of a Dual Voice technology, meaning you can play two different instrument sounds at the same time. Its 2-track song recorder also allows you to record your performance, live and during practice.
The Yamaha YDP-181 is actually the replacement of the Yamaha YDP-223. That is why some people are apprehensive about its capability – having some large shoes to fill. But despite that, seeing from its specifications, I am confident that it can pull things off.
When you get bored practicing your pieces over and over, you can take a break and listen to the YDP-181’s broad range of recorded songs. It has 50 piano pieces carefully chosen for its beauty and functionality. And since most of the songs are piano classics, it will surely fancy your musical ears.
