Yamaha YDP-161B Digital Piano with Bench (Black)
The Graded Hammer keyboard makes the Yamaha YDP-161B a joy to play, both in practice and performance. The 3-level AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling Voices deliver authentic and expressive piano sound. The half-damper effect gives you expressive control over sustained sounds when pedaling for even greater acoustic piano realism. A 2-track song recorder captures your original musical ideas and is ideal for using the built-in recordings of standard piano repertoire during practice. The new black walnut finish adds an attractive new option to the already popular Arius line.
Graded Hammer (GH) action
On a traditional acoustic piano, lower notes have a heavier touch while higher notes have a lighter touch. Graded Hammer action works the same way: heavier touch low, lighter touch high. GH also features an extra key sensor which makes it possible to reproduce fast, repetitive, single-note playing.
Variable Touch Sensitivity
Allows you to match your playing style to the response of the instrument. Chose one of three levels: soft, medium and hard or turn sensitivity off for organ-style playing.
Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Dynamic Stereo Sampling
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates the realism of an acoustic instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter technology to the recorded audio samples. The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the expression.
128-note polyphony
128-note polyphony allows you to play dense, legato passages without dropouts...even while playing dual-layered sounds.
Damper Resonance
Damper Resonance samples add the rich, broadening tones produced by using the pedal. These complex and nuanced details add to the realism of the overall piano tone.
Half-Pedal Control
Emulating the behavior of a traditional sustain pedal, half-pedal control allows the sustain length to vary incrementally depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The more the pedal is pressed, the more the sound sustains.
Song Recorder
Got a great idea for a song? The built-in two-track song recorder is great way to capture your music. Hit record and capture your inspiration while it's fresh. It's also an excellent practice aid. Record each hand of a difficult piece to separate tracks and rehearse each part independantly until perfected.
50 Preset Piano Songs
A selection of 50 different piano songs is provided for your listening pleasure. These recordings were chosen for their beauty as well as their functionality. Since many of the songs are classic piano pieces, anyone taking lessons can listen to them for reference.
Dual Headphone Jacks
Plug in two sets of headphones for private lessons at home or practicing duets at any time.
