I had my eye on two Casio models for over a year and struggled to make a final decision between the two of them. One of them being the very popular Casio Privia PX800. I kept my eye on the Casio reviews hoping there would be something that would sway me enough to buy it vs the other Casio model, (both have very excellent reviews) and somehow I was led to take a look at the Yamaha Arius models.

I had to do some extensive comparative research on this item to further narrow down to a final choice as the Yamaha didn't have nearly the number of reviews that the Casio Privia models do. The manufacturer's website has some great information, and thank goodness for YouTube! The demonstrations I saw coming from the owners of each digital piano model I was interested in and how each seemed to play really helped me out.

-Polyphony: The grand piano and strings are probably all I will really ever use. I do believe the PX800 had quite a few more polyphony sounds but this feature was negligible since I don't need more than the grand piano sound, really.

I walked into a Guitar Center recently to compare the YDP140 and the Casio PX800 side by side, I was instantly sold on the Yamaha. After seeing the two models next to each other in the store's showroom, there was no question I was taking the Yamaha. Not only is the furnishing more sophisticated-looking compared to the light oak color of the PX800, there was a very noticeable difference in quality of construction just from looking at the keys.

The keys on the YDP140 had the look and the feel of a genuine acoustic piano, while the other keyboard had the look of the shiny plastic keys on a 150.00 portable keyboard you would buy at Target or WalMart, and they did feel plastic. (eew!)

-Graded Weighted Hammer Action: The keys on the YDP140 felt more solid like on that of an acoustic. The weighted hammer action felt about right. It does take more pressure on the lower end of the scale to make sound, and lighter pressure on the high end, just like a real piano. Additionally, the harder you strike the key, the louder the sound becomes. Each note can go through ranges of volume from pianissimo (pp) to fortissimo (ff), and fortepiano (fp). The recoil/rebound(?) after pressing a key feels like the real thing. I am REALLY impressed with the technology.

Some of the videos I watched of people playing their digital pianos picked up the sound of the keys making the thumping-clicking noise that the cheaper portable keyboards make when the keys are struck. I thought I would throw this bit of info in, because I did see some 1000 dollar model keyboards out there that actually did that. This model doesn't seem to have the thumping clicking sound. There is an airy sound that is barely audible. You'd really have to be listening for it. I believe that all digital keyboards do this to some degree, and some worse than others. Again, for the Arius, not an issue.

One of my concerns with any of the digital pianos that I was trying to decide between was the ability of the piano to handle trill. (fast repetitive alternation of notes). For what it's worth, I'm a level 5/6 adult. I love Chopin and also have a preference for other musical pieces that would demand fast response to intensely rapid movement up and down the scales.

For certain, my choice for a digital would HAVE to be able to process this kind of action. The YDP140 has not been a bit disappointing. While this particular Arius model is not set up to handle insanely ninja-fast speeds required to properly play pieces like La Campanella by Liszt, or Flight of the Bumblebee by Rachmaninoff, so far the response to fast repetition on adjacents and octaves as fast as I can strike them is more than sufficient. I have read that upgrade Arius models would handle it even better.

-Other sound: I use the pedals a bit, especially the sustain/damper pedal on the far right. They all have a nice resistance to them when pressed. The resulting sound is very clean and not muddy at all.

The speakers are 6 watts per side on this model. It isn't so much an issue for me since the overall volume I play at allows for the sound to carry well enough for the area that I am in, however, at maximum volume the sound may not be rich enough or as satisfying in an area larger than 250 square feet. This is one thing they could have done better with this model for sure.

Most of the time I have played on it has been with the use of a very nice pair of headphones on. If you do use headphones, remember that the quality of sound you experience is related to what your headphones will produce! There are two jacks on this model, located underneath the far left front of the keyboard. Easy to find. Also on the far left front panel is a tiny and inconspicuous bulb that glows red when the power switch to the piano is turned on, and clear when off.

-Accessories: The bench is included and was very easy to assemble. I find it to be sturdy and comfortable for the amount of time that I'm sitting to practice and play. It does not have storage space for books and sheet music. It is a sitting bench only.

It also came with a book of sheet music "50 Piano Greats". It is a book of sheet music for the 50 songs stored for the demo playback feature.

The music rack on top that holds the sheet music in place can be folded down and the hardware that allows for it is of nice quality. At the front edge there is a ribbed rubber or plastic type lip that holds the sheets in place very nicely.

They key-cover slides well and feels sturdy. I don't worry that it's going to come down wrong, slam, or come off of its track. Not flimsy, but it is lightweight.

There is not a lot of space on the top to house an inexpensive piano lamp with a small enough footprint. It was a challenge for me to find one without spending a fortune. The foot of the bankers lamp I did find barely fits.

-Assembly: The assembly was quick and easy. The instructions are located on the top of the box, so be sure you don't pull tape or you will lose your instructions! Each leg, the backing, the keyboard and the pedal housing were all packaged like they were fine jewelry. Everything was packed so nicely and protectively, you would have to run the box over with a truck to do some real damage! lol

Overall I am very pleased and proud of the purchase. It sounds great. I find it to be good-looking, (pic uploaded) and it feels closer to an acoustic than other items I have looked at in this price range. I absolutely love it and feel that it was worth every hard-earned penny that went into buying it.

DO see it in person before making a final decision if you have comparisons to make. If you have a Guitar Center near you, they may let you negotiate the price down. I was able to get the model out the door brand new for the same as the PX800!
