The new Yamaha YDP213 Digital Piano is designed for the serious hobbyist or aspiring musician. The YDP213 digital console piano provides a realistic acoustic piano playing experience with the convenience of a digital instrument - it never needs tuning!

Besides outstanding sound, the YDP213 offers incredibly natural touch. Applying the know-how gleaned from over 100 years of crafting fine acoustic pianos, Yamaha has designed a remarkably expressive GHS (Graded Hammer Standard effect) keyboard. Unlike conventional digital piano keyboards that use springs or dampers to simulate piano feel, the GHS keyboard uses weights and mechanical linkages to provide a new level of realism. You'll notice the difference it makes as soon as you start playing.

The keyboard on the Yamaha YDP213 even has variable touch sensitivity. Select the hard, medium or soft setting to match your playing style or finger strength. Turn off sensitivity for a fixed response setting, ideal when playing the organ.

Six different instrument voices are available on the YDP213. These voices use Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling tone generation. Other features include: 64-note polyphony, three foot pedals and a built in speaker system. Dual voice capability lets you play two different instrument sounds at the same time, while a 1-track song recorder allows you to capture your original musical ideas and performances.

The attractive wood grain cabinet, with sliding key cover to protect the keyboard from dust, matches any decor perfectly. What's more, the YDP213 is lightweight so it's easy to move. Best of all, it's maintenance-free: there's no need for expensive, periodic tuning or other special maintenance.

The built-in, 1-track performance memory allows you to record a backing track, and then step into the spotlight and solo over it. You can change tempo or voices even after you've recorded your performance. There's also a built-in metronome to help you stay in perfect time.

The built-in digital reverb simulates reverberation to add more depth and life to your music. Choose from two different hall sizes, a medium-size room, or on-stage ambience. The dual mode lets you combine and play two voices together. Try strings and piano. Play staccato, and you just hear the piano voice. Play legato, and the strings come in to add extra depth and richness.
