An authentic, expressive piano experience
YDP-144 offers grand piano-like experience, featuring the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand sound and realistic Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard.
The powerful tone of the acclaimed CFX concert grand piano
Newly sampled for the YDP-144, the Yamaha flagship 9' CFX concert grand piano offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass combined in a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010 and has since gained recognition as one of the greatest concert grands of modern times.
Authentic acoustic piano playability
With an 88-key piano action, the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from the heavy feel in the lower register to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. With matte black keytops, the touch and feel of this keyboard action makes it comfortable to play for hours on end.
Designed for your personal enjoyment
The YDP-144 offers convenient functions for when you cannot always play the piano at high volume. Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) adjusts the sound automatically to allow players to enjoy balanced sound at any volume level.
Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the natural, spacious sound experienced when sitting in front of an acoustic piano, even when wearing headphones. When usi

This is a great digital piano: we had one for years and just passed it on to a family member. If $900 isn't in your budget, there are usually a few used models on Facebook Marketplace/Craigslist/Mercari/OfferUp for under $500.

Not a good deal, but it's yamaha, so you've got the yamaha tax.
This is basically the P45 in console form.
It's more like a P125 in console form, P45/P71 uses the older inferior AWM sound engine. They do share the same key mechanics.
This YDP144 comes in at the same price as a P125 with cabinet stand and pedal unit ($899). For those shopping P125 it might be worth getting this if you want a cabinet and lid to keep dust off keys.

Not comparable to the 125 because it doesn't even have tweeters.
All of yamaha's stuff is really old. inferior awm, everything is inferior compared to where the industry is on vsts.

As someone with a P-125 that seems to be a static cling dust and hair magnet, I would love to have a lid to flip over. I wish the P-125 didn't use 60+ screws on the bottom, making it quite a chore to clean it out.
The keybed on P-125 is great. I've had mine for 4 years, and it's taken a beating but still works great.
How is this compared to Casio px 870? Hoping to see that back down in the $800 range like the one I missed last week
I have Yamaha and px-870. I love them both. I give px-870 an edge for value. It's no nonsense play-the-piano deal. No other digital gimmicks. But Yamaha always loved the sound. Casio I had to open my heart to it and it did win me over. I would not recommend anything before px-870.
