  • Hi, and thank you for visiting www.kraftmusic.com. My name is Adam Berzowski. I'm a team member

  • here at Kraft Music and I'm here today with the Yamaha Arius YDP-181 digital piano. For

  • the best deals on the YDP-181, you'll want to take a look at Kraft Music's bundle offers.

  • Our bundles will typically include accessories you may be interested in such as headphones

  • or a brass lamp. There are fourteen different sounds in the YDP-181 and I'd like to give

  • you an example of some of those sounds right now.

  • [Playing Demonstration]

  • The Arius YDP-181 has many different features and like to tell you about some of them. One,

  • is that in addition to this music rack, you're also going to find a sliding key cover to

  • keep your keys protected from dust and debris when you're not using the instrument. You're

  • also going to find triple pedals -- all three of them -- just like you'd find on a grand

  • piano down at the bottom: soft pedal, the sostenuto, as well as the sustain pedal.

  • This piano is also equipped with a built-in metronome to help with your timekeeping during

  • practice. There's also a song recorder so that you can record the song that you've been

  • working on and listen back for review. Another feature is that you can layer two sounds -- you

  • can hear two at the same time. A common layer would be piano and strings. I'd like to give

  • an example of that right now. It's really easy to do. You simply touch the button of

  • the two sounds that you want to hear. In this case, I'll touch grand piano and then I'll

  • touch strings. Let's take a listen.

  • [Playing Demonstration]

  • Did you know that you can connect headphones to your digital piano? You sure can. There

  • are headphone jacks on the YDP-181 to connect your headphones. There's also a switch to

  • turn the speakers on or off, so you want to turn the speakers off and then you can practice

  • early mornings for late at night. Nobody will hear you playing, except for yourself.

  • There are also midi ports on this piano. Midi ports will allow you to connect to your computer

  • to use educational software, recording software, or notation software. There are also a number

  • of selections preloaded into your digital piano just for your own listening enjoyment.

  • These are all demo songs. It's the touch of a button and your piano will play for you.

  • The last thing I'd like to tell you about the Yamaha YDP-181 is the fact that there

  • is a USB-to-device port on the front of the piano. This is to use one of these flash drives

  • to store your recorded songs.

  • I'd like to play a few more examples of the sounds in the Arius YDP-181 for you. Let's

  • take a listen.

  • [Playing Demonstration]

  • I'd like to thank you for visiting www.kraftmusic.com and learning about the Yamaha Arius YDP-181

  • here at Kraft Music, we hope that you'll give us a call. Our telephone numbers 1-800-783-3368.
