Pedal System:

The pedal system on this piano is probably the best thing about it. The piano features a console that includes all 3 traditional pedals. This is very advantageous because you do not have to deal with the lose wires that come with most pedal add-ons and accessories. These pedals allow a pianist to play more dynamically compared to the single-pedal kind of digital pianos. The pedal cord on this piano runs up the back, is attached by clips and most of it is hidden by the console.

Sound Features

The sound features on Yamaha YDP 143 are really impressive. Apart from the CF sound sampling you get in most digital pianos, this piano also features 10 completely different voices and a dual 6W speaker that you can use to improve your performance and make it more versatile. In addition to this, this piano also features 4 reverb types and a stereophonic optimizer that makes practice time even more exhilarating with the preamp designed for headphones. Yamaha YDP 143 also features the Intelligent Acoustic Control that enables you to adjust the volume on the digital piano. This feature automatically adjust the bass, treble and other sounds to make them richer, deeper and clearer even at the lowest volume.

Keyboard:

This digital piano features the standard 88 keys which are similar to the brand’s previous model. This keyboard makes you enjoy a true piano feel and playability. The piano gives you a heavier feel on the low-end keys on the keyboard and a lighter feel on the keys on the higher end. This makes it feel as if you are playing a grand piano which makes it great for practicing fingering while preparing to play on a grand piano. Apart from this, this piano features black keys with a matte finish and ivory-feel white keys that prevent your fingers from getting too slippery after a long time of playing. All the keys have a very good feel. There is no doubt you will enjoy every minute of playing this piano. Last but not least, the piano has a duo playing feature which means two people can play this piano at the same time. This makes it perfect for duets.
