GrandTouch E Piano Feel

Yamaha's YDP-166 comes with the GrandTouch-E piano action, e-creating the dynamic response and feel of a real acoustic grand piano. Both the black and white keys come with a matte finish, replicating the original ivory of old pano keys. It also has escapement which replicates the feel of the hammers leaving the key on a real piano, giving the player a much more involved feel.

VRM - Virtual Resonance Modelling Lite

Real acoustic pianos resonate and make their own noises in harmony with notes being played. The Yamaha YDP166 re-creates this effect using VRM - Virtual Resonance Modelling, bringing the natural tones of a real piano to your ears, with all the digital advantages

Perform With Headphones

Wearing headphones allows the player to perform and practice in silence without disturbing others. It's also ideal for practice and night time. Wearing headphones often separates the player from the sound emanating from the piano and they loose a depth of sound immersion. The YDP-166 piano incorporates a Stereophonic Optimiser that simulates the natural spread of sound as if you were sitting at an acoustic piano, rather than simply emitting sound directly into your ears, creating a more immersive playing experience.

Speaker Diffuser System

The YDP166 piano is equipped with a new diffuser to enhance and make the sound clearer. Speakers can loose clarity when they do not face the person directly so the new system brings the sound back to life by diffusing the angle of the emitted sound. It creates a more pleasant sound field for both player and audience.
