Yamaha YDP-223 Piano Specification

The Yamaha YDP-223 is a digital piano designed to provide an authentic acoustic piano experience. It features the Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) keyboard, which replicates the natural touch and response of an acoustic piano, with heavier touch in the lower keys and lighter touch in the higher ones. This model is equipped with 88 keys, offering a full range for diverse musical expression.

The sound engine of the YDP-223 utilizes Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) technology, which accurately captures the nuances of an acoustic piano through high-quality digital sampling. This results in rich, dynamic sounds that closely mimic the tonal variations of a traditional piano. The YDP-223 offers a polyphony of 64 notes, allowing for complex passages without note dropouts.

For enhanced versatility, the YDP-223 includes a variety of voices and effects, including reverb and chorus, which enable musicians to tailor their sound. It also features built-in speakers with a sophisticated stereo sound system, delivering clear and immersive audio output.

The instrument is equipped with a dual headphone jack, facilitating quiet practice sessions without disturbing others. The YDP-223 includes essential connectivity options such as MIDI in/out ports, allowing integration with other digital instruments and recording equipment.

The piano's design is both functional and elegant, featuring a traditional cabinet with a sliding key cover and a three-pedal system that supports half-pedal operation for more expressive performances. The Yamaha YDP-223 is ideal for both beginners and experienced pianists seeking the feel and sound of an acoustic piano combined with the benefits of digital technology.
