Just like Yamaha's flagship digital pianos, the YDP-213 uses its renowned AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technology and true stereo sampling for a realistic, acoustic piano sound. GHS keyboard provides touch as real as its tone.
Besides outstanding sound, the YDP-213 offers incredibly natural piano touch. Applying the know-how acquired from over 100years of crafting fine acoustic pianos, Yamaha has designed a remarkably expressive GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard. Similar to the widely accepted Graded Hammer Effect action, GHS keys are weighted heavier on lower notes and gradually become lighter as you play up the keyboard.
A pianist will notice the difference as soon as they start playing. The classically beautiful wood grain finish, complete with a sliding protective key cover, tastefully matches virtually any decor.And with no need for the inner hardware of acoustic pianos, this digital equivalent is much easier to move. Best of all, because digital audio doesn't fade or degrade, the YDP-213 is maintenance-free -- there's no need for expensive, periodic tunings or other technical upkeep. To let you enjoy more expressive performances, theYDP-213 also features damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals. If the acoustic grand piano at your recital has three pedals, shouldn't the one you're practicing on have them as as well?
A variety of voices color your music. For even more performance versatility the YDP-213 offers a choice of 6 voices including electric piano, organ, strings, and harpsichord.
The Yamaha YDP-213 comes with a built-in music library of 50 popular piano pieces. These can either be used as practice aidsor simply for your listening pleasure. The built-in, one-song performance memory allows you to record anything you can play. Listen back to your creations for study, or choose another voice and accompany yourself with a completely different sound!
There's also a built-in metronome to help you keep perfect time. No matter how big your room is, whether you have hardwood floors or the thickest carpeting, digital reverb puts your YDP-213 center stage in a variety of different listening environments.
Choose the best reverb setting for the type of room you're playing in. You can even adjust the responsiveness of the keys to the type of musician sitting at the bench.
Heavy-handed players will appreciate the Hard setting that allows them to play naturally and still remain expressive. But when switched to Soft, life can spring from the performances of even the most timid beginner. AWM stereo-sampled grand piano sound. 11,000-note song recording capacity.
