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 has a damper pedal that features half-damper effect, providing a shaded yet expressive control over any sustained note.

Not only that, it also has an on-board 2-track song recorder that allows you to record you original music ideas and performances during practice or during a live, actual performance.

The Yamaha YDP-181 is actually replacing the Yamaha YDP-223 in the market. That being said, most would think that the YDP-181 has some large shoes to fill. But after reading through its specifications, I can fairly say that the YDP-181 can do an impressive job. With YDP-181′s dynamic stereo sampling, 128-tone polyphony, 2-track song sequencer, etc., it sure can outplay other digital pianos in the market.

The Graded Hammer (GH) keyboard of the YDP-181 has an extra key sensor that lets you produce fast, repetitive playing of a single note with perfect articulation. Aside from having the same key accuracy response with traditional acoustic pianos, its matte finish on its black keys add to the keyboard’s overall appeal.

Unlike most digital pianos, the YDP-181 does not skip any note during legato passages in order to make room for newer notes, instead it accommodates more than one note all at the same time. Thanks to its 128-note polyphony, you now have a maximum of up to 128 notes that you can play at one passage.

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. These recordings were specifically chosen both for their beauty and their functionality. And since most of these recorded songs are classics, a student can easily benefit from it by listening to it during breaks.

A simple yet powerful piano that is perfect for both the student and the professional no other digital piano can get better than that. And now is your chance to try the new Yamaha YDP-181 Digital Piano.
