Are you seeking the authentic sound and feel of a grand piano in a digital format? Look no further than the Arius YDP-184 88-Key Traditional Console Digital Piano. This flagship Arius digital piano, finished in a sophisticated dark rosewood, is equipped with a GH3 keyboard and the renowned Yamaha CFX concert grand piano sample, delivering a rich, resonant sound that echoes through any room.The Arius YDP-184's unique "Piano Room" feature allows you to customize your piano sound by adjusting various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance, and touch response. This, combined with the Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), simulates the sympathetic vibration of an acoustic piano, offering a full-bodied grand piano sound.The GH3 keyboard action, similar to a grand piano's spring-less hammer mechanism, reproduces the touch of an acoustic instrument. It provides a heavier feel in the lower register and a lighter touch in the upper octaves, creating an authentic piano playing experience. The three-sensor configuration accurately senses and interprets the keyboard's behavior, further enhancing the grand piano feel.The Arius YDP-184 is powered by Yamaha's flagship 9' concert grand piano, the CFX, known for its sparkling highs and powerful resonant bass.

The synthetic ivory key tops provide a tactile surface, absorbing moisture from the fingers and preventing them from slipping. The half-damper pedal control creates more detailed nuance and subtlety when playing, similar to pedaling on a grand piano.The Arius YDP-184 also features a MIDI recording function, allowing players to record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback. You can also create your own compositions by overdubbing different voices. When using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer provides a dispersed sound, similar to sitting in front of an acoustic piano.The piano is compatible with the Smart Pianist app, turning your iOS device into a touch-screen controller for your digital piano.
