Where it sits
Its price class holds 39 digital pianos between €1,160 and €4,500 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha YDP-184 sits in the middle there. The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 from the same brand sits around €100 above it – but with wooden keys. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai CA-501 and Casio PX-S7000.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- USB-MIDI for learning apps, notation software and recording
- Built-in speakers – ready to play without extra gear
Against it
- No Bluetooth – learning apps only work by cable
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
