Yamaha YDP-113 Piano Specification

The Yamaha YDP-113 is a digital piano designed to offer a realistic acoustic piano experience, ideal for both beginners and seasoned musicians. It features the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action, which replicates the feel of an acoustic piano by providing a heavier touch in the lower keys and a lighter touch in the higher keys. This action helps develop the proper finger technique for transitioning to acoustic pianos. The instrument is equipped with Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) Stereo Sampling technology, providing a rich, dynamic sound by using digital recordings of acoustic pianos.

The YDP-113 includes a 64-note polyphony capability, ensuring complex passages can be played without note dropouts. It offers a range of voices, allowing musicians to explore different sounds, while the dual-mode enables the layering of two voices for creative expression. The piano features a built-in metronome, enhancing practice sessions by helping maintain consistent rhythm and timing. Its three-pedal system supports half-damper effects, providing nuanced control over sustain and expression.

Connectivity options include MIDI in/out ports, facilitating integration with other MIDI-enabled devices for enhanced music production capabilities. The YDP-113's elegant cabinet design, complete with a sliding key cover, complements any home décor while protecting the keys from dust and damage. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for smaller spaces without compromising on sound quality. The piano includes a headphone jack, allowing for private practice sessions without disturbing others. Designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, the Yamaha YDP-113 combines advanced digital features with the traditional feel and sound of an acoustic piano, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of users.
