This thing is now 7 years old and it has to have a replacement coming soon as that is quite old for this technology.
with that said, it has about the best speaker system in its class for sure.

I have this. It sounds and plays fantastic. It's missing modern amenities like bluetooth and app connectivity, but if all you need is a practice rig for your office or something to perform voice lessons with, that sounds and feels really good, can't go wrong this

Is there a pull-out dust cover for the keys?

I have been wanting to buy this or the 165 for a while now. As said, they are much older now, and compared to the Clavinovas, it may be worth the extra for the Clavinovas instead (e.g. 835, 845). The Clavinovas have Bluetooth, a bunch of awesome sounds, and the 845 has wooden keys.

Yup. All you have to do is then figure out how you're going to move and house a grand piano, or the clapped out upright that has been used as a plant stand and needs more than just a tuning to be usable, or an electric that has been sitting in someone's garage with bird seed and mouse droppings in between the keys.

"quite old for this technology"

I bet $5 that you cannot tell which one is the newer version when two digital pianos are placed side-by-side.

At the same price point, the difference in key action/sound sampling/speaker quality between newer/older models is marginal.

I have the 164 and it's great. This is a pretty good price for a 184. Slightly better all around.

I feel this is now over priced for this technology. This piano has been around for a long time now, and doesn't have any of the bells and whistles that newer models have. It's a solid piano for a beginner with good key action and sound, but at this price point, I'd expect a Clavinova.

The difference is in the feature set and if you've ever used a Clavinova (which is where the technology trickles down from), then you would know that what you're saying is completely false.


The only exception is when they do something like rebadge the P45 as a P145 with minor changes, but that's the low end and this is the top end of the Arius line.

What kind of technology are you talking about? Can you please stop this handwaving and use real examples?

I have owned many pianos (digital and acoustic) over the years, have been to piano showrooms many times and played with all the models. I yet need to be convinced that high-end models (within the same series) are worth the premium price or new models are much better than older ones. The base model is quite limited in terms of the features, but other than that it's mostly the same touch and sound synthesis systems. The key actions on Clavinova 600, 700 and 800 aren't that different especially if you ever spent over one hour on an acoustic piano.

Again, my claim is that you wouldn't pass a blind test of these different digital pianos. You can't tell which one is newer. They WILL sound/feel different, but unless something is objectively improved so that you can tell it, it's just different, not better.

I don't think you have any idea what I would know. Further more, comparing this key action to newer Clavinova models tells me you've never even touched a P515, or P525, let alone a modern Clavinova. The NWX and Grandtouch S are significantly better than the GH3 and yeah I would know them apart, but you clearly wouldn't.

Even more, the resonance modeling has improved, and the Bosendorfer sample is even trickling down to Yamaha's lower end pianos.
So, yes I would know and you can pretend people wouldn't, but that's on you.
