Is the YDP-105 good for a beginner?

Yes. The graded hammer action and full 88 keys build proper technique from the start, and the piano sound is convincing enough to practice on daily.

Does it have Bluetooth or app connectivity?

No. The YDP-105 has no Bluetooth, USB audio or app support, so it works as a standalone piano.

How does the YDP-105 differ from the YDP-145?

The 145 steps up to a more advanced action, more voices and connectivity options. The 105 keeps the essentials: GHS keys, grand piano sound and a three-pedal console.

What is included in the box?

The piano, its wooden stand, the three-pedal unit with half-damper support, and a bench.

Can I use headphones with it?

Yes. A headphone jack lets you practice silently, which mutes the built-in speakers.

Does the half-damper pedal work with all voices?

Half-damper control applies to the piano voices, giving partial sustain between open and closed pedal.

About the Yamaha YDP105B 88 Key Digital Piano w/ Stand, Pedal Unit, and Bench

The Yamaha YDP-105 is an entry-level Arius console digital piano with a wood cabinet and a built-in key cover. It has 88 keys with GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted action. The keys feel heavier in the low range and lighter in the high range, as on an acoustic piano. The piano supports half-damper pedal control and fast note repetition.

It has an authentic grand piano sound and 9 other built-in Voices, including electric piano, organ, vibraphone and strings. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling engine records samples at various playing strengths to reproduce the dynamics of an acoustic instrument. Damper Resonance recreates the sound of the inside of a grand piano when the dampers are off the strings. Dual Mode combines two Voices, such as piano and strings. A Volume Limiter lowers the overall volume to help protect your hearing, with or without headphones.

The piano works with the free Yamaha Smart Pianist app on a smart device, connected by cable. The app controls the Voice functions, calls up scores including those for the built-in songs, and records. Its Piano Room function adjusts the tone and resonance of the piano sound. It can also analyze songs from your music library using chord tracker technology. The three-pedal unit offers continuous sustain, sostenuto and soft functions.
