Yamaha YDP103 Arius Series Piano with Bench, Dark Rosewood

We love this thing! It has a great tone, it’s easy for my children to operate (we have a first time pianist in our home), and it’s aesthetically pleasing. It doesn’t have a ton of features that we’ll never use, and it has great and varied recorded pieces in addition to the many instrument voices it can simulate. I especially appreciate that it closes similarly to a traditional piano and came with a bench. It will serve us well.

I love this piano. I love the sound of it (like a grand piano), the feel and weight of the keys, and the fact that it is very affordable and doesn't require upkeep (tuning) like a regular piano. I can move it easily from one room to another. It is truly a quality instrument. The color of the rosewood is dark and looks classical and tasteful. I would definitely recommend this piano and am so happy that I finally purchased it. It came quickly from Amazon (in just days--as opposed to other stores that would have had me waiting for 4-6 weeks).

I love it! Very well packaged. Took about 30 minutes to put together, nothing was broken, but did need my husband's help lifting the keyboard out of the box and onto the stand (I'm a 25 year old 125lb female with no upper body strength). Great sound, easy to use, easy to put together, not too heavy or bulky. It's a great addition to our living room, would definitely recommend to anyone I know looking for a keyboard or piano alternative. It's funny, I bought it for myself but my husband is the one who uses it the most! Great purchase

This is the best value digital piano you can buy in the market that has the very good quality and price. The enture package can be handled by a single man, particularly the piano main part is not very heavy. So overall the assembly is easy and straightforward.Sound quality is very good, the wood frame is very solod and sturdy.

I'd like to give it a 5 star but the upper keys don't sound very good. At least for me. But for a beginner it's great. The assembly was a little harder than it should be (according to my daughter). I think it sounds very nice for the most part. Has a lot of features that I've played with but haven't used yet. I am not a pianist. I am not unhappy.

I have played piano for nearly 10 years and I am used to playing on an 8-foot grand but got this piano for my apartment. It is really not bad, you can adjust the way it sounds to make it more realistic along with key sensitivity and it looks sleek. Although the piano is nothing compared to the real thing for the price I feel it is worth it. Getting used to the plastic keys and the weight of the keys is a bit of a learning curve but if you've never played on a real piano I dont see any problems with it.

My wife started taking piano lessons and wanted something that she could practice on. We looked at Roland and Casio at the Piano store. They were not bad, but this Yamaha model was the most realistic in terms of touch and feel of the keys. The sound is also very realistic. The unit is packed very well and requires assembly of the base. It took only about 10-minutes to get it assembled. In shopping around, the Amazon price was among the best we found. I would highly recommend this piano to anyone looking for a practice instrument that has the same feel and behavior of a grand piano.

I love this piano!! I debated whether to buy this entry-level model or some of the more high-end (and expensive) models in the Yamaha line, but I'm really happy with this choice. It's a really solid piece of musical furniture, a full keyboard with a great feel, and it has all I need to learn and practice. I plugged it into my Mac, downloaded the MIDI drivers from Yamaha, fired up GarageBand, and now I'm truly enjoying working my way through lessons. The interactive feedback of the MIDI interface is really helpful. Finding my favorite piano pieces in keystroke notation on YouTube has added a whole new level of playing in just a few days. For anyone who's new to piano or - like me - returning after many years, this is a great choice. (Tip - I watched a YouTube video on setting up a Yamaha YDP piano, which made it easy to do. There are instructions on the box, but there's nothing like a piano professional walking you through the steps. Probably took about 10 minutes to set up, max).
