Yamaha P143 Digital Piano 88-Key Weighted Action

The Yamaha P-143 digital piano boasts Yamaha's 88-key Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard action and a high-quality, stereo-sampled grand piano Voice.

The P143 is an ideal choice for beginners, students, and hobbyists, and it's the most affordable Yamaha digital piano available today.

When a local piano teacher shops at our store for a student digital piano they require two key features; an 88-key weighted action with full-size keys, and an excellent acoustic piano sound. The Yamaha P143 meets that need. Let's unpack these two qualities.

WEIGHTED KEYS
For beginning piano students to develop proper technique and finger strength, a weighted piano action is essential. The Yamaha Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard action in the P-143 has weighted keys that are heavier in the low end and lighter in the high end like an acoustic piano. It gives you the benefit of an acoustic piano touch without the large footprint.

ACOUSTIC PIANO VOICE
The grand piano Voices in the P-143 were sampled (recorded) from a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano, one of the best grand pianos available today. All the sounds were recorded with meticulous detail, resulting in a beautiful, natural acoustic piano tone.

In addition to the features mentioned above, other attributes include:

• Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) natural sound samples
• Damper Resonance DSP - provides a rich and more realistic sound with the damper pedal
• 64 note polyphony
• Lightweight and portable, less than 25 lbs.

To get maximum benefit from your new P143B Yamaha digital piano, you'll want to download and use the available Yamaha apps. 

Smart Pianist app - acts as the main user interface and allows full control over Voice selection, and adjustment of all function parameters, and also serves as your data storage and data transfer device.

Rec'n' Share app - enhances the way you practice and allows you to create audio and video and easily share it directly from your smart device.

Also, there's the USB to HOST (MIDI & Audio) feature that allows audio transfer through the USB to Host port. You can digitally record your performance on your computer or iOS device.

Connecting to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, adds a new dimension of MIDI control with apps. What makes it so great is that now you can achieve both MIDI and audio transfer functionality with the simplicity of just one cable connection.

The Yamaha P-143B digital piano, with its stylish, compact design blends well with the decor of almost any room. Its piano action, authentic tone, and quality build will assure you a lifetime of piano enjoyment. Contact Andy's Music and order yours today.
