The Yamaha YDP-146B Arius Digital Piano Bundle provides a complete home-piano setup built around Yamaha's latest 88-note Arius digital piano, together with a Stagg PBF39 BKM VBK adjustable piano bench and Yamaha HPH-50B headphones for private practice.

At the heart of the bundle is the Yamaha YDP-146B Arius Digital Piano in Black.

Its 88-note Graded Hammer Standard – GHS keyboard uses graduated weighting across the keyboard, with a heavier feel towards the bass and progressively lighter response towards the treble.

The principal piano Voice is sampled from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano, while Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite – VRM Lite recreates elements of the sympathetic resonance produced when strings, keys and pedals interact inside an acoustic piano.

The YDP-146 also provides 192-note polyphony, 10 Voices, 353 preset Songs, three pedals with half-pedal support, two-track MIDI recording, Bluetooth Audio and MIDI, USB audio, Smart Pianist compatibility and Yamaha's Stereophonic Optimizer.

Yamaha has also refined the sound system with a new diffuser grille, helping treble frequencies project more clearly into the room.

This Fair Deal Music bundle then adds two practical accessories.

The Stagg PBF39 BKM VBK adjustable piano bench provides a dedicated playing seat, while the Yamaha HPH-50B closed-back headphones make silent practice possible whenever the built-in speakers aren't appropriate.

For beginners, students, families and returning pianists, this package provides the essential equipment needed to start playing at home from day one.

The adjustable format is particularly useful for:

• Growing students

• Families

• Shared instruments

• Piano lessons

• Adult beginners

• Establishing a comfortable playing position

WHY THIS BUNDLE MAKES SENSE

A proper home piano setup needs more than the piano itself.

The player needs a suitable seat.

And in most homes, the ability to practise quietly becomes invaluable sooner or later.

This bundle addresses both requirements immediately.

The Stagg adjustable bench provides a dedicated playing position rather than relying on unsuitable fixed-height furniture.

The Yamaha HPH-50B headphones provide private practice whenever the internal speakers would be disruptive.

That makes the package particularly practical for:

• Family homes

• Piano students

• Shared accommodation

• Flats and apartments

• Evening practice

• Early-morning practice

• Lessons

• Homes with several players

The result is a more complete setup than buying the piano alone.

YAMAHA YDP-146B – A MODERN ARIUS HOME PIANO

The YDP-146 sits within Yamaha's Arius family of home digital pianos.

Its design is centred firmly around piano playing.

You get:

• 88 weighted keys

• Yamaha CFX concert grand sampling

• VRM Lite

• Three pedals

• Built-in speakers

• Sliding key cover

• Integrated music rest

• Headphone practice

• MIDI recording

• Bluetooth

• USB audio

• Smart Pianist integration

Rather than trying to behave like an arranger keyboard or workstation, the YDP-146 is designed to feel like a dedicated home piano.

88-NOTE GRADED HAMMER STANDARD KEYBOARD

The YDP-146B uses Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard – GHS keyboard.

Its weighting changes across the 88-note range:

• Heavier towards the bass

• Progressively lighter towards the treble

This reflects the broad weighting relationship found across an acoustic piano keyboard.

For a developing pianist, a full-size weighted keyboard is particularly important because it allows fingering, dynamics, technique and repertoire to be practised across the correct piano range.

MATT BLACK KEYTOPS

The GHS keyboard uses matt black keytops.

The non-gloss finish gives the black keys a more tactile surface and contributes to the piano-focused feel of the instrument.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND PIANO VOICE

The principal piano Voice is sampled from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano.

The CFX provides a powerful, expressive foundation for:

• Piano lessons

• Grade repertoire

• Classical practice

• Contemporary playing

• Everyday home performance

Yamaha describes the CFX Voice as delivering rich tonal colour across the entire keyboard range.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING LITE – VRM LITE

An acoustic piano does not produce sound from individual strings in isolation.

Strings interact with one another.

Pedalling changes which strings are free to vibrate.

The whole instrument contributes to the resulting resonance.

Yamaha's Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite – VRM Lite recreates elements of these interactions digitally.

The result is a more complex and connected piano sound than simple sample playback alone.

192-NOTE POLYPHONY

The YDP-146 provides 192-note maximum polyphony.

This gives the piano sufficient capacity for normal home repertoire, including passages with extensive use of the damper pedal.

10 BUILT-IN VOICES

The YDP-146 includes 10 Voices.

Yamaha specifically highlights sounds including:

• Grand piano

• Electric piano

• Pipe organ

• Vibraphone

• Strings

The instrument remains piano-focused, but these additional Voices provide useful variety for layering and recreational playing.

DUAL MODE

Dual mode allows two Voices to be layered across the keyboard.

For example:

Piano + Strings

This can create a broader combined texture.

DUO MODE

Duo divides the keyboard into two equivalent pitch ranges.

This is particularly useful for:

• Piano lessons

• Teacher and student

• Parent and child

• Demonstrating technique

• Side-by-side practice

THREE-PEDAL SYSTEM

The YDP-146 includes:

• Damper

• Sostenuto

• Soft

The damper pedal supports half-pedalling, allowing the pianist to control sustain according to how deeply the pedal is pressed.

NEW DIFFUSER GRILLE

One of Yamaha's refinements on the YDP-146 is its new diffuser grille.

Yamaha states that the updated design helps treble notes remain clearer even at a distance, creating a more balanced sound field for both the player and listeners in the room.

BUILT-IN SPEAKER SYSTEM

The YDP-146 uses:

8W × 2 amplification

with:

12cm speakers with diffuser × 2.

No external amplification is required for normal home use.

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC adjusts tonal balance according to the selected volume level.

This helps keep the piano satisfying and balanced when played quietly.

PRIVATE HEADPHONE PRACTICE

The YDP-146 provides two standard stereo headphone outputs.

This bundle already includes Yamaha HPH-50B headphones, so private practice is available immediately.

This is especially useful when:

• Practising late at night

• Practising early in the morning

• Other people are watching television

• Children are asleep

• Living in a flat

• Sharing a home

STEREOPHONIC OPTIMIZER

Yamaha's Stereophonic Optimizer is designed to create a more natural sense of space when playing through headphones.

Instead of making the sound feel as though it is coming directly from inside your ears, Yamaha aims to recreate a more spacious impression similar to sitting at the piano itself.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO & MIDI

A major convenience feature on the YDP-146 is Bluetooth Audio and MIDI, subject to regional availability.

Bluetooth Audio

Stream compatible music wirelessly through the piano's built-in speaker system.

This is useful for:

• Playing along with recordings

• Listening to reference tracks

• Backing tracks

• General audio playback

Bluetooth MIDI

Bluetooth MIDI enables wireless communication with compatible music and learning applications.

SMART PIANIST

The YDP-146 works with Yamaha's Smart Pianist app.

Yamaha highlights several benefits, including:

• Simplified control from a smart device

• Sheet music for all 353 preset Songs

• Practice-support functions

• Recording performances and saving them to the connected device

The YDP-146 can connect to Smart Pianist wirelessly through Bluetooth where supported.

353 PRESET SONGS

The YDP-146 includes:

• 10 Voice Demo Songs

• 50 Classics

• 303 Lesson Songs

The lesson material includes established piano repertoire and exercises, giving developing players substantial built-in practice content.

TWO-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The onboard MIDI recorder provides:

• 1 User Song

• 2 tracks

• Approx. 150KB per Song

• Approx. 11,000 notes

The two-track system allows parts to be recorded separately and is useful for both practice review and basic layered recording.

USB AUDIO INTERFACE

The YDP-146 provides a:

44.1kHz / 24-bit stereo USB Audio Interface.

This allows digital audio communication with compatible computers and smart devices for:

• Recording

• Online lessons

• Music applications

• Educational software

• Digital music workflows

STAGG PBF39 BKM VBK ADJUSTABLE PIANO BENCH

A suitable playing position is an important part of piano technique.

The included Stagg PBF39 BKM VBK provides a dedicated adjustable piano seat instead of forcing the player to rely on household furniture.

That is particularly useful for:

• Children

• Teenagers

• Growing students

• Adult beginners

• Households with several pianists

The black finish also coordinates naturally with the YDP-146B.

YAMAHA HPH-50B HEADPHONES

The included Yamaha HPH-50B headphones provide a compact closed-back listening solution designed to work well with digital musical instruments.

38MM DRIVERS

Each earcup uses a 38mm dynamic driver.

CLOSED-BACK DESIGN

The closed-back construction helps provide a focused private-practice experience.

ADJUSTABLE FIT

The headphones feature:

• Adjustable headband

• 90-degree swivelling earcups

2-METRE CABLE

The 2m cable provides useful freedom of movement when seated at the piano.

HOW IT COMPARES

YDP-146 vs YDP-145

The overall piano concept remains familiar, but the YDP-146 introduces useful modern refinements.

Both provide:

• 88-note GHS keyboard

• Yamaha CFX piano Voice

• VRM Lite

• 192-note polyphony

• 10 Voices

• Three pedals

• 8W × 2 amplification

• 12cm speakers

• Smart Pianist

• Two-track recording

The YDP-146 adds or updates important areas including:

• Bluetooth Audio

• Bluetooth MIDI

• Updated diffuser grille design

• Wireless Smart Pianist convenience where supported

For customers choosing between old and new stock, the YDP-146 is therefore the more current and connected Arius platform.

YDP-146 vs YDP-166

The YDP-166 is the natural step-up model in Yamaha's latest Arius range.

YDP-146

• GHS keyboard

• Matt black keytops

• 8W × 2 amplification

• 12cm diffuser speakers × 2

• 38kg

YDP-166

• GrandTouch-E keyboard

• Synthetic ebony and ivory keytops

• Escapement

• 20W × 2 amplification

• 12cm diffuser speakers × 2

• 42kg

The YDP-166 therefore provides a substantially more sophisticated keyboard action and stronger amplification.
