YDP184

Just a wonderful piano to have in a home. Buy one before they discontinue. Price is a no-brainer. Looks, feels, and sounds like a real piano without the headaches of tuning, plus a plugin for iPad for lessons. Amazing, absolutely amazing. Build quality is top-notch.

I stayed away from playing pianos for a couple decades and now I got back. Feeling rusty to get back on track, but this piano really eases the experience. The responsive touch of the keys is something that really stands out, together with its speakers. It makes family music moments really memorable. The sound fills up the room and make a simple play feel like a great event There are several funcions that I couldn't try and test yet, but I'm overall super satisfied with this piano. The assembly process is simple and easy to follow with just a few steps. Just a recommendation for the Yamaha team: put the screws in separate and identified bags, so it's easier for users less used to follow assembly instructions..

My grandson is so happy we both this piano model. He was in love with mine which is an older but very similar model. It is great for a learner and practice. The sound and touch can be adjusted to whatever you like. It sounds very much like an acoustic instrument to me. Headphones are a wonderful accessory for my grandson who wants to play this 24/7. Also looks pretty good in the home.

Wow!! This sweet little thing arrived on my doorstep on 29 November 2025. It was packaged in such a way that all parts were securely tucked in and protected so shipping and handling did not cause any damage to any of the components. Set up was a beeze and did not require any type of special tools to assemble. There were basically three parts that required assembly ; the bench, the music rack, and the foundation for the keyboard to rest on. The instruction manual, written in several languages, was very thorough and easy to inderstand, and included instructions along with illustrations describing all the features and functionality which proved to be very helpful. It also came with an easy / moderately easy book of classical music. Now onto the keyboard itself... You will enjoy the authentic piano feel, touch sensitivity high-quality sound, and beginner-friendly features. There are 88 Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted keys that mimic an acoustic piano's touch. In addition, there is a built-in song library showcasing the various 10 different voices that include Grand Piano, Mellow Grand, Pop Grand, Strings. Vibraphone, Electric Piano, Jazz Organ, Pipe Organ, Harpsicord, Electric Piano, that can be played on full keyboard (same sound on all 88 keys), a split voice where half of the keyboard can use a selected voice, while the other half can use a different voice, and the dual functionality, where you can program the keyboard the play 2 voices at the same time. There is a keyboard "dust cover" as well. My favorite is playing Grand Piano coupled with strings. It soundS AWESOME. There a Metronome functionality which is a great compliment to this piano. You are able to record your playing, and during playback, you have the ability to play along with it, using different voices and playing a different accompaniment such as adding rolled chords, playing descents, etc. There are 3 foot pedals, just like using a regular piano, and have the same function. The piano bench, with no storage compartment, is shorter in length in comparison to that which is usually used for a regular piano, but with a bonus...THIS ONE IS PADDED!! Connectivity is as simple as attaching the power cord to the back of the Piano to the electrical outlet. Dn

I love this keyboard! It has amazing sound and is easy to put together. Being someone with a rather heavy touch, the weighted keys are definitely a plus for me. HOWEVER, upon putting it together directly from the box, the pedals did not work. I called a Yamaha technician who came to my home and replaced the pedal mechanism; it did not work, either. Fortunately, he was insightful and experienced enough to bring an additional part which he installed successfully. I am extremely happy with this product even though I was made to feel a little uneasy about the replacement part that did not work; hopefully that was the last of it.

I'm a professional pianist and teacher who believes strongly in the advantages of using an acoustic piano. So I didn't purchase this one to play on - I'll use my grand piano for that. But I am also a composer who uses a DAW and digital notation programs, and needed to replace my Roland digital piano after 35 years of use. This Yamaha was a good replacement for it, and I appreciate the slim design that takes up very little space, considering it has a full set of pedals and a cabinet and a full sized keyboard. The action is very decent, and that's a compliment coming from me, because no digital on the face of the earth is ever going to match what can be done on a good acoustic piano. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You can't. But Yamaha did a good job of coming as close as they could. The recording of the tone is also good (sorry, but that's what you're getting with any digital - you are not producing the tone, like you are on an acoustic, you're hearing a recording of an acoustic.) So yes, I highly recommend this digital for those who want or need one. However, for those of you who are shopping for a piano for your kids to begin lessons on, for heavens sake get the real deal and shop for an acoustic -- and Yamaha does make very good acoustic pianos as well. Speaking as a teacher of the instrument at all levels for well over a half century, I can tell you that there is simply no way to develop a good technique on any musical instrument if you have no control over the tone you're producing on it. Which is why teachers like me who teach thru the advanced levels will not even take students who only have a digital. They're going to be too limited by it. And if you want to get one for them anyhow, then get one like this, that has good weighted keys and a decent touch and action. Getting a cheap digital is a huge mistake -- those aren't musical instruments, they're just glorified toys and absolutely worthless for any serious purpose. The tense technique they'll develop will keep your child from ever getting much beyond the intermediate level, and that won't be played well. What you learn on matters.

To be honest, I didn’t get chances to try digital pianos of other brands - I just found a YDP-144 in nearby Guitar Center and feel it’s good. Then I ordered YDP-165 from Amazon thinking it won’t be wrong to get one even better. Having Yamaha YDP for half month so far I’d say it’s a good decision to buy YDP-165. Pros: The keyboard and sound of YDP-165 is truly like a real acoustic piano. The key’s weight is exactly right to me — and I remember YDP-144’s key is kinda lighter but I cannot tell much difference since I don’t have chance to compare them side by side. And I even feel YDP-165’s keyboard delivers better feel than entry-level acoustic piano I have in the house of my hometown, as YDP-165’s keyboard uses anti-slippery materials which reduce the chance of pressing wrong key. Anyway, I totally have no complain regarding sound and keyboard of this digital piano. I can use this digital piano to play “The Maiden’s Prayer” comfortably - so I think this piano would be well suitable for beginner to at least intermidate-level players. The design and color are beautiful and elegant too. The compact size well fits my small apartment (even it’s not YDP S series) . Cons: The craft isn’t as good as IKEA furniture (see photos), so you may notice some tiny imperfection. Some screw holes’ position isn’t 100% accurate so it may take some of your energy to well install the piano; but these are just tiny details. After assembling the piano is quite solid. Overall, the quality of Yamaha is reliable. Unlike some models in CLP series, YDP-165 doesn’t have screen and more than a dozen of buttons on control panel. I prefer YDP’s simpler control panel because it makes digital piano more like a traditional acoustic piano instead of digital keyboard. The negative side is that it’s difficult to set up your piano. Leaning how to use key combination to set up piano is even harder than learning how to play “The Maiden’s Prayer” , so you may have to buy a MIDI cable, or spend another 50 dollars buying a Yamaha Bluetooth adapter to connect piano to your iPad. I think Yamaha should have the adapter coming with Piano for free as YDP-165 is already sold at a much higher price in the US compared to Asian market. Also you have to buy an additional 6.35mm earphone adapter if you want to connect your earphone/headphone to this piano.

The keys are great. It’s much better than generic electric pianos. While nothing will feel like the real thing at this price point the movement of the keys is pretty damn close. I like the sound of the piano as well. The voices included are adequate. This is a great compact practice piano. It takes up very little space, looks great and sounds great. If had to find fault with it I would say the upper part is built like a tank but the lower part— the stand is like cardboard and cheap and doesn’t really match. The seams are not closed there are gaps, although I assembled it carefully following instructions it looks like something you would buy from target furniture department — cheap. This is perfect for a young adult, teenager who needs to have a piano for practice at home or folks living in the city in small apartments that don’t allow big pianos.

We traded in our very old little piano and got this in its place. The weighted keys are great. Lots of added features that the piano didn't have. My 8 year old really enjoys playing on this and it also looks really pretty and sleek. Also great that it doesn't keep going out of tune the way the old piano did due to too many changes in temperature where we live.

Love it!! Great beginner piano 🎹 also just note the keys are really good for touch keys
