• BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL SOUND SAMPLED FROM THE ACCLAIMED YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND PIANO

  The YDP-165 features a piano Voice sampled from Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano — a renowned instrument that delivers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass in a superbly expressive sound.

  The YDP-165 offers the same detailed sound from lower to higher keys, full of clarity and rich harmonic color. It gives you extraordinary expressive power and nuance that authentically respond in both daily practice and emotion-filled performances.

• AUTHENTIC ACOUSTIC PIANO PLAYABILITY AND HALF-DAMPER PEDAL CONTROL

  With an 88-key GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard, the YDP-165 reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano — naturally heavy in the lower keys and lighter in the upper octaves. GH3 offers grand-piano-style response for rapid note repetition and nuanced control. A half-damper feature authentically replicates grand-piano pedal behavior for rich expressive variation.

• HARMONIC RESONANCE LIKE THAT OF A GRAND PIANO — VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING LITE (VRM LITE)

  The YDP-165 elaborately reproduces a grand piano’s sympathetic resonance with Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite. VRM Lite simulates the complex resonant tones created when string vibrations propagate to the soundboard and other strings, dynamically responding to your playing and pedaling.

• RICH, POWERFUL SOUND PROVIDED BY TONE ESCAPEMENT CONSTRUCTION

  A newly developed tone-escapement design on the back of the cabinet releases sound from inside the piano, letting you experience natural sound radiation and three-dimensional resonance similar to an acoustic piano.

• RICH VARIETY OF BUILT-IN SONGS & INTUITIVE SMART PIANIST APP CONTROL

  Beyond its authentic grand-piano Voice, the YDP-165 offers 10 instrument Voices—including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings—plus 353 built-in songs (50 classics and 303 practice pieces by Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny, and Hanon).

  Connect Yamaha’s free Smart Pianist app* to intuitively select Voices, view scores for built-in songs, and explore a comprehensive Piano Room for tonal customization.

  *Cable connection required. Purchase the correct cable for your smart device.

• FEATURES FOR GREATER LISTENING COMFORT WITH HEADPHONES

  New technology optimizes sound balance according to the volume you set, delivering a natural, ear-friendly sound—even during long practice sessions. The Stereophonic Optimizer recreates the spacious sensation of sitting at an acoustic grand piano while using headphones.

• STYLISH DESIGN TO MATCH YOUR ROOM INTERIOR

  Combining clean straight lines with elegant grand-piano curves, the YDP-165 offers multiple color options to complement your décor and personal taste.
