P-143
The entry-level model of the P Series. Perfect for beginners with a serious interest in playing the piano!
Yamaha’s P Series digital pianos are loved by piano players around the world who want the comfortable feel of an acoustic piano in an instrument with a more manageable size and weight. The P-143 offers the minimal number of features in the P Series, focusing on offering a highly playable and authentic experience thanks to its simple design and ease of operations.
Compared to its predecessor, the all-new P-143 features a much shorter and thinner body design with a simple yet more modern and compact style. Our newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) 88-key keyboard is built to uncompromising standards and offers the same weighted acoustic piano-like playing feel as the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keys used in previous models in the P Series.
We recommend this model for:
- Beginners with a real desire to start playing the piano, who are unsure of what instrument to select
- Players who are looking for a weighted keyboard that feels like an acoustic piano
- People who want a piano in their house but don’t have much space for it
Newly developed GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard offers a realistic playing feel
One of the main concerns of piano players when purchasing a digital piano is related to the feel of the keyboard when they play.
Some of the things that players are specifically concerned with include whether they can feel the weight of the keys in their fingers as with a weighted acoustic piano keyboard; whether the keyboard will respond accurately when they play quicker passages; whether there are any inconsistencies between how hard they play the keys and the sound that results; and whether the keyboard offers a sufficient soft-to-loud dynamic range.
The GHS keyboards used in the P Series thus far have received high praise from customers for the excellent balance and ease of playing that was mentioned above.
The newly developed and more compact GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard on the new P Series reproduces the playing comfort of its predecessors in every way.
Further, the keyboard unit is more compact than in previous models, while still offering an outstanding playing feel.
Offering the sound of a full grand piano
This model features the sound of a Yamaha full concert grand, the CFIIIS: the origin of Yamaha’s premier concert grand pianos, the CFX.
The sound was sampled from a piano with a bright, transparent tone with a spacious treble and an overall solid sonic feel.
In addition, the P-143 features a damper resonance function that reproduces the rich resonance sound you hear when pressing the damper pedal, for an even fuller sound.
We hope that you will enjoy the profoundly deep character of this instrument’s sound, so characteristic of that of a real grand piano. It goes without saying that this instrument doesn’t require tuning.
Place the instrument wherever you like, or even take it with you
One trouble that plagues pianists is that the acoustic piano is not an instrument you normally carry with you wherever you go.
Another issue is that traditional pianos are often too large to fit into a room.
The P-143 provides a brilliant solution to these problems. With its stylish design—the most compact in the P Series—this model blends well with the decor of any room.
With the optional soft case, you can take the P-143 with you to the studio, to a party, to live gigs, or on a trip—whenever you need it.
*Headphones and pedal are optional
Voices
The P-143 features 10 Voices. In addition to string Voices that sound beautiful when layered over piano tones, you can enjoy the sounds of various keyboard instruments such as concert grand pianos, electric pianos and organs.
The P-143 also features Harpsichord and Vibraphone Voices.
Practice with headphones—whenever you want, as much as you want. Comes with a built-in metronome.
One of the greatest advantages of a digital piano is the ability to practice while listening to what you play through headphones. This solves the problem of not wanting to disturb family members or neighbors when you play, not to mention eliminating the need for them to hear you’re playing when it’s not at its best. The P-143 also features a metronome, which is essential for practice. With these features, you can enjoy playing at your own pace, whenever you like.
*Headphones are optional
Access the features of this instrument with greater ease from the app
By linking the P-143 with Yamaha’s dedicated “Smart Pianist” digital piano app, you can intuitively perform all operations on the P-143 from the screen of your smart device. There’s no longer any need to pull out the manual to see how things work.
*When connecting a smart device to a musical instrument to use the app, you can either use a cable or connect wirelessly using the Yamaha UD-BT01 (sold separately; for iOS only).
Minimalistic design featuring only carefully selected functionality
The P-143 is a design that perfectly embodies the expression, “less is more.” Most people who love playing the piano as their instrument don’t want a lot of rarely used features. The P-143 offers a simple, modern form factor to meet the needs of such people.
Other features
Button-style interface that makes it easy for anyone to use
This model uses physical buttons rather than a touch panel, making it easy for anyone to operate the most essential functions. Aside from piano sounds, we have carefully selected only the most frequently used sounds, including keyboard instrument sounds like electric piano, pipe organ and harpsichord, as well as strings.
Balanced, clear sound
The position and angle of the speakers on the back of the P-143 have been adjusted to replicate the sounds reflected from the soundboard and lid of an acoustic grand piano as closely as possible. These adjustments let you enjoy playing with sharp and clear mid- to high-range tones and a prominent low-end for a well-balanced sound, even when the P-143 is set up against a wall.
Practice with 303 free pieces of classical sheet music
The Smart Pianist app mentioned above comes with PDF scores of 303 classical pieces for practice such as Bayer, Burgmüller, Czerny, Hanon and more, which you are free to display and use on the screen of your smart device.
Dedicated optional stand and sustain pedal available for a more authentic performance experience
For those who want to really play the piano instead of enjoying it casually on a tabletop, we offer an optional L-100 stand and a FC3A sustain pedal.
Using the stand provides stability, proper height, and correct posture when you play, and adding the sustain pedal lets you enjoy a more authentic style of performing.
As a sustain pedal, we offer the FC3A, which supports half-pedaling.
*Not available in some countries or regions.
Easily record sound and video, and upload your own performances
If you want to take a video of your performance and share it on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, Rec’n’Share is the way to go. Connect the P-143 to your smart device, and record both video and audio at the same time to complete your video.
* A cable connection is required. Make sure to purchase the correct cable for your smart device.
Easy to assemble
The optional stand can be easily and safely assembled, when purchased separately. When purchasing the dedicated stand, please purchase the L-100, which is compatible with the P-143.
Dedicated keyboard bag for carrying
If you want to take your piano with you when traveling, or when you go to live performances or to work, a dedicated keyboard bag (SC-KB851) is available as an optional accessory. This case securely protects your instrument as you carry it.
