Full-size digital piano with stereo-sampled grand piano voice.
The Yamaha P-143 digital piano features 88-key Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard action and a quality, stereo-sampled grand piano Voice, making it an ideal choice for beginners, students and hobbyists. The GHC keyboard action uses weighted keys to replicate the acoustic piano experience, with a compact design that saves space without sacrificing authenticity. The P-143 digital piano is the most affordable choice in Yamaha's portable digital piano lineup.

The P-143 features the sound of a Yamaha CFIIIS full concert grand, sampled from a piano with a bright, transparent tone offering spacious treble and a well-rounded solid sonic feel. It also gives you a damper resonance function for rich resonance sound when pressing down on an optional damper pedal (sold separately), for an even fuller sound.

With the Smart Pianist app, you can take your piano playing to the next level. This app allows you to control all the P-143's functions and access additional features that go beyond what the instrument can do alone. Bluetooth audio allows you to seamlessly connect your device to your digital piano so you can listen to and enjoy playing along with your favorite songs. USB to HOST (MIDI & Audio) streamlines your music-making process with a single cable.

Best Overall Piano in this price range

We used to own a baby grand piano years ago, but we've moved into progressively smaller spaces. My wife wanted to take up piano again, and the Yamaha P-143 ticks all the boxes: 1. Great build quality 2. High quality piano sound 3. Weighted keys 4. Light enough weight and portable 5. Easy to interfa...

It met all the requirements, added my reciept and waited about 6 weeks for a response which was a decline. If I knew they were not going to hold to the ...

Great keyboard with natural feeling touch and sound

It's perfect for me to be able to practice and play all I want without disturbing the rest of my household. The ability to play with headphones has definitely boosted my practice time. The touch feels natural and reminds me of my acoustic Yamaha. Also has a pleasing sound, but not quite as bright as my acoustic. I use the metronome feature, and the only thing I would suggest is to add some interesting rhythms (drum beats) to it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

It met all the requirements, added my reciept and waited about 6 weeks for a response which was a decline. If I knew they were not going to hold to the rebate, I would have bought with a cheaper brand that was very very similar but the promo was inventive for this purchase.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Going from intermediate guitar to starting piano, this is the best option for the price I could find. Love the simple options and weighted keys. 88 keys also gives range. Very good choice without too much limit and enough to use at my level. #SWEEPSTAKES

Great build quality 2. High quality piano sound 3. Weighted keys 4. Light enough weight and portable 5. Easy to interface with computers and tablets And all of this at an affordable price. (And if you want to play it through another sound system, it's got a standard 1/4" jack.)
