Best Yamaha Digital Pianos, Electric Pianos & Keyboards 2026

The P-225 is the Yamaha keyboard piano most buyers should start with. Yamaha lists 88 weighted keys with its GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) action, matte black keytops and four touch settings, the CFX piano sound with key-off samples and VRM Lite, and 192-note polyphony. Yamaha's P-225 specs have the full list.

Speakers and connections: 7 W × 2, Bluetooth audio (Bluetooth MIDI needs Yamaha's UD-BT01 adaptor), USB that works as a 24-bit audio interface, AUX OUT jacks and two headphone jacks. It has 24 voices and 20 rhythms.

Size: 11.5 kg (25 lb 6 oz) and 272 mm deep, in black or white. The matching L-200 stand and LP-1 pedal unit are sold separately.

Our Yamaha P-225 review covers who should skip it, our Yamaha P-45 vs P-71, P-145BT and P-225 comparison puts the P-series side by side, and our Yamaha P-225 vs Roland FP-30X comparison covers its closest Roland rival.

The P-145BT gives you the P-225's GHC keyboard for less. Yamaha lists 88 weighted GHC keys, the CFIIIS piano sound with damper resonance, 64-note polyphony and 10 voices. Yamaha's P-145BT specs have the full list.

Speakers and connections: 7 W × 2, Bluetooth audio, USB that works as a 16-bit audio interface, one headphone jack, and a connector for the optional LP-5A three-pedal unit (with the L-100 stand). It weighs 11.1 kg (24 lb 8 oz).

The P-143 and P-45: the P-143 is the same piano without Bluetooth or the pedal-unit connector. Yamaha USA still lists the P-45 too, with GHS keys, 64-note polyphony, 10 voices and no Bluetooth. Our Yamaha P-145 review explains how the P-143 differs, and our Yamaha P-45 review covers whether the P-45 is still worth buying next to the P-145BT.

The YDP-146 is Yamaha's entry Arius console, for a piano that stays in one room. Yamaha lists 88 weighted keys with the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) action and matte black keytops, the CFX sound with VRM Lite, 192-note polyphony and 10 voices. Yamaha's YDP-146 specs have the full list.

Cabinet and pedals: three pedals built in (damper with half-pedaling, sostenuto and soft), a sliding key cover, two headphone jacks, Bluetooth audio and MIDI, and USB that works as a 24-bit audio interface. It's 1,357 × 422 × 815 mm and 38 kg, in dark rosewood, black or white; the listing we link is black.

Speakers: 8 W × 2, the smallest amplifiers in the Arius line, so it suits a bedroom or practice room better than a large living room.

The YDP-145: Yamaha launched the YDP-146 in June 2026, and Yamaha USA's Arius line-up now lists it and no longer the YDP-145; Yamaha doesn't call it a successor. On Yamaha's spec page, the YDP-145 has the same GHS keys, CFX sound and 8 W × 2, without Bluetooth. When we checked, it had no featured offer on Amazon US.

The YDP-166 is the Arius to buy for better keys. Yamaha lists 88 weighted keys with the GrandTouch-E keyboard, with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops and escapement, the CFX sound with VRM Lite, 192-note polyphony and 10 voices. Yamaha's YDP-166 specs have the full list.

Cabinet and speakers: 20 W × 2, two and a half times the YDP-146's amplification, three pedals with half-pedaling, a sliding key cover, two headphone jacks, Bluetooth audio and MIDI, and USB that works as a 24-bit audio interface. It's 1,357 × 422 × 849 mm and 42 kg, in black, dark rosewood, White Birch or white; the listing we link is White Birch.

The YDP-165: Yamaha launched the YDP-166 in June 2026, and Yamaha USA's Arius line-up now lists it and no longer the YDP-165; Yamaha doesn't call it a successor. On Yamaha's spec page, the YDP-165 has GH3 keys and the same 20 W × 2 and 42 kg, without Bluetooth. When we checked, it had no featured offer on Amazon US.

The DGX-670 is a Yamaha keyboard with 88 weighted keys and a lot more around them. Yamaha lists the GHS action with matte black keytops and five touch settings, the CFX sound with VRM, 256-note polyphony, 601 voices and 263 accompaniment styles, shown on a 4.3-inch color screen. Yamaha's DGX-670 specs have the full list.

Connections: a microphone input, AUX IN, a pedal-unit connector for the optional LP-1, USB that works as a 16-bit audio interface, a USB port for flash drives, Bluetooth audio, and one headphone jack that doubles as the output. It has 6 W × 2 amplification.

Size: 1,397 × 151 × 445 mm and 21.4 kg (47 lb 3 oz), in black or white, so it's much bigger than the P-series portables.

Our Yamaha DGX-670 review covers its styles, voices and screen, what changed from the DGX-660, and who should buy a piano-only model instead. For the difference between pianos and style keyboards, see our digital piano vs keyboard guide.

The P-525 is the top of the P-series, and its keyboard is the reason: Yamaha lists GrandTouch-S, with wooden white keys, synthetic ebony and ivory keytops and escapement, and six touch settings. The sound pairs the CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grands with VRM and Grand Expression Modeling, and polyphony is 256 notes. Yamaha's P-525 specs have the full list.

Size: 22.0 kg (48 lb 8 oz) and 376 mm deep, in black or white. The L-515 stand and LP-1 pedal unit are sold separately.

Our Yamaha P-525 review covers its GrandTouch-S keys, what changed from the P-515 and how it compares with the Kawai ES920 and Roland FP-90X.

The CP88 is Yamaha's stage piano for working musicians, with no built-in speakers. Yamaha lists 88 keys with the NW-GH3 (Natural Wood Graded Hammer) action and synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, AWM2 sound, 128-note polyphony and 129 voices (18 piano, 19 electric piano and 92 sub voices). Yamaha's CP88 specs have the full list. Our review of the Yamaha CP88 and CK88 covers the CP73 and the CK models too.

Connections: balanced XLR outputs and 1/4-inch outputs, one headphone jack, MIDI in and out, USB to a computer and to a device, an AUX input and four pedal inputs. The FC3A foot pedal is in the box.
