The Yamaha Arius YDP-166 is an 88-key digital piano in an upright cabinet, built for intermediate and returning players who want acoustic-style feel at home. Its GrandTouch-E action is graded heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble, and the main voice is sampled from Yamaha's CFX concert grand with VRM Lite resonance for depth. Bluetooth audio and MIDI plus the Smart Pianist app add practice and playback options that many rivals in this class lack. It suits a living room or apartment where a real grand is impractical, though the plastic-feeling keys and modest speaker output are the usual trade-offs against pricier Clavinova models.

Owners generally rate the YDP-166 as a solid home piano with believable grand tone and a responsive graded action. Most criticism centers on the key texture and the modest onboard speakers rather than the sound engine itself.
The Yamaha Arius YDP-166 is a full-size 88-key digital piano in a classic upright cabinet with a wood grain finish. It uses the GrandTouch-E keyboard action, which has graded hammer weighting across all 88 keys. The low keys have a heavier touch and the upper keys respond lighter and faster, as on an acoustic piano.
The main piano voice is sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand. VRM Lite technology adds simulated string and damper resonance. The piano has 10 instrument voices, including electric piano, organ, vibraphone and strings, and 192-note maximum polyphony.
An integrated three-pedal unit includes Damper, Sostenuto and Soft pedals. Bluetooth audio streams music from a phone or tablet through the piano's speakers. Bluetooth MIDI connects to the Yamaha Smart Pianist app. Two headphone jacks allow silent practice, or lessons where a student and teacher both listen.
