Introducing the new model to the ever popular Yamaha Arius series, the YDP-142. A vast improvement over the YDP-141, it comes equipped with a graded hammer standard keyboard which creates a true piano feel that is ideal for both the ambitious beginner and wouldn't offend a seasoned musician.

The new and upgraded Pure CF Sound Engine delivers remarkable authentic sound and natural expression, giving the potential for some sound similar to a signature Yamaha grand piano. With this comes some of the latest technology including the Acoustic Optimizer, which intelligently uses measurements and other factors of the room the piano is placed in to tailor the speakers to create the best sound. They also boast Yamaha's Intelligent Acoustic Control, previously only available on their Flagship digital pianos. This helps to preserve the sound balance at low volumes and also continuously alters the EQ, ensuring that you get the true sound replication and reproduction of an authentic piano and that your speakers sound great at any volume.

With the inbuilt 128 note polyphony you can easily play more complex piano music and also layer dense passages of music with other sounds without worrying about the sound or notes dropping out. With the damper resonance there's the added realism of hearing the sustain pedal actually work, just like on a real piano.

With 10 inbuilt voices, 10 demo songs and 50 piano songs, you have a huge library already integrated into your digital piano. The two track recording system and the USB to host connectivity mean that any recordings can be easily uploaded straight to your suitably equipped computer.

Professional features at a great price, the YDP-142 is a huge improvement over it's predecessor boasting technology previously only available on much more expensive pianos. Ideal for a beginner or for the noise-conscious musician.
