Yamaha P-143 Digital Piano Overview

Yamaha

collapse expand iconDescription

The Yamaha P-143 88-key digital piano delivers a premium piano-playing experience in a sleek, compact design. Featuring Yamaha's Graded Hammer Compact (GHC) keyboard action, this model replicates the feel of an acoustic piano with weighted keys that are heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble. Its stereo-sampled grand piano voice is derived from the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand, known for its transparent tone and spacious treble. Perfectly crafted for beginners, students and hobbyists, the P-143 offers expressive sound and authentic touch at an affordable price point. With advanced features like Bluetooth audio and USB connectivity, players can easily integrate this digital piano into modern setups for practice, performance and creative exploration.

Graded Hammer Compact Keyboard

The P-143's Graded Hammer Compact keyboard offers a realistic touch that mirrors the mechanics of an acoustic piano. Weighted keys create a gradual resistance—heavier in the lower register and lighter in the upper—for dynamic and expressive playing. This design encourages proper technique and finger strength, making it ideal for new students honing their skills. The compact keyboard construction saves space without compromising authenticity, while the matte finish on the black keys minimizes slippage during extended practice sessions. For players seeking an acoustic feel in a portable format, this keyboard offers unparalleled tactile feedback.

Stereo-Sampled CFIIIS Grand Piano Voice

The P-143 features a stereo-sampled voice from Yamaha's renowned CFIIIS concert grand piano, celebrated for its bright, transparent tone and well-rounded sonic depth. The spacious treble and rich resonance provide an immersive playing experience, suitable for a wide range of musical styles. The damper resonance function adds realistic sustain and depth when paired with an optional damper pedal, further enhancing the full-bodied sound. With the added benefit of no tuning required, this digital piano delivers consistent tone without the maintenance demands of an acoustic instrument.

Smart Connectivity and Enhanced Functionality

Modern features like Bluetooth audio and USB to Host connectivity make the P-143 a versatile tool for musicians. Bluetooth audio allows players to connect their devices wirelessly, enabling seamless playback and accompaniment with favorite tracks. The USB to Host port supports MIDI and audio functionality, streamlining the connection to digital audio workstations or learning apps. Additionally, the Smart Pianist app unlocks advanced controls and features, letting users customize their settings or explore additional voices. These tools make it easy for players to integrate the P-143 into educational, recording or performance environments.

A Digital Piano Designed for Portability

The P-143 combines functionality and elegance in Yamaha's most compact P Series design. Its lightweight frame blends effortlessly into any room, making it a great choice for home practice spaces. For musicians on the move, an optional soft case enables easy transportation to lessons, rehearsals or travel destinations. Despite its compact size, the piano's durable construction ensures long-term reliability, while its stylish aesthetic complements modern décor. This balance of portability and durability makes the P-143 an excellent choice for players who need an adaptable instrument without sacrificing quality.

Perfect for Beginners and Hobbyists

The Yamaha P-143 is designed for pianists who want authentic feel and tone in a compact, user-friendly format. Its GHC keyboard action and stereo-sampled grand piano voice provide a foundation for expressive playing, while Bluetooth and app integration add modern convenience. Lightweight and easy to transport, this digital piano is ideal for new students, hobbyists or anyone seeking a reliable instrument to start their musical journey. Experience the Yamaha P-143 and take your playing to the next level today.

    Yamaha Piano

    #sweepstakes I purchased this piano for my daughter who has been playing and taking lessons for the past five years. The Yamaha P-143 has a real feel and sound like a grand piano. As well as the ability to connect to an iPad to change the sound of the piano! This full size piano is a great upgrade with our taking up to much space. I would definitely recommend this piano to anyone looking to get started playing and to those that have been playing for years!

    Rebate Was A Lie

    Was told when I bought this at a local music store that there was a rebate promotion going for this exact one, they gave me the info and I applied. 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.

      I bought this keyboard to play at church. I love the feel and action of the keys. It has easy settings to use. The only feature I don't like is the audible click when transposing. Without a digital screen you can't (see) where you are stepping up or down to. The click is annoying.

      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.

      I'm looking for a basic piano to use for an open mic that I will be hosting on a weekly basis. My needs are that it sounds and plays well for the musicians I like the weighted keys. I need it to be able be run directly through my mixing board to powered speakers. I will be transport to the venue for each session so transportability is a factor. I also don't want to give too many sound And set up options to minimize time gaps between performers due to players wanting custom sounds. This unit is in my budget as long as it fills my criteria. Please advise if this is my best option. 
Thank you

      I assume you use the headphone output to send to the PA if you're going to use this keyboard live. Does this shut off the internal speakers, and if so, is there a way to bypass this so you still hear the built-in speakers?
