Product Description:

Digital piano featuring GH3 keyboard and Yamaha CFX concert grand piano sample. The Arius YDP-184 features the stunning sound of the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. You can customize the piano sound in the "Piano Room" by adjusting various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance and touch response. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) simulates the way an acoustic piano resonates - where the sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other strings and the soundboard--giving you a full, rich grand piano sound. The true grand piano sound, matched with a highly authentic and expressive keyboard, make the YDP-184 the flagship Arius digital piano. By using a similar spring-less hammer mechanism as is found in a grand piano, the GH3 keyboard action reproduces the touch of an acoustic instrument, from the heavier feel in the lower register to the lighter touch in the upper octaves. It also features a three-sensor configuration, which accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard to create a grand piano playing experience. Piano sound quality only possible from Yamaha Yamaha's flagship 9' concert grand piano, the CFX, offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass with 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. VRM physical modeling - the distinctive reverberation generated by the entire body of a concert grand piano In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Arius through enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). The original VRM calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, as well as the timing and depth of the damper pedals when pressed, from one instant to the next. The enhanced VRM n

A tad harder to recommend over the last ydp165, since the only tangible difference would be the larger speaker cones. You can get your own big speaker and amplifier off slickdeals, so.... korg 380 is the better deal.

Yeah, that YDP165 deal was nice. Not sure if worth the extra $400.

The only thing this is missing from the entry level Clavinova line is the Bosendorfer sampling.

Where the YDP-165 had VRM Lite, this has the full VRM Modeling from the Clavinova line. It also has a higher Polyphony, more voices, and a much better speaker / amplifier setup than the 165.

Yes this is a little bit older model, but this is every bit as good a deal as the 165 was.

CA49 has the GFC action, so it's not as good as the GH3. Other than that the sound is nice, but the sound system in the 184 is simply better. Kawai is also a harder brand to sell should you decide that it is doing nothing but collection dust.

Umm, it doesn't adjust the weight, the keys are physically weighted, but it does have 5 levels of touch sensitivity.
