Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The Yamaha Arius YDP-146 is a superb value digital piano designed to bring the experience of playing a concert grand into the home. It features a compact design, an authentic acoustic piano playing feel, an inspiring sound and Bluetooth connectivity.

Who is the YDP146 For?

The YDP146 combines a classic, elegant cabinet design with Yamaha’s acclaimed acoustic piano technology. This instrument is a perfect choice for students, hobbyists, and anyone seeking a dependable, high-quality, affordable piano for the home.

The Sound of a Yamaha Concert Grand in Your Home

At the heart of the YDP-146 is the stunning voice of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano. Through meticulous sampling, the YDP-146 captures the rich, shimmering highs and powerful, resonant lows of the original instrument, delivering a truly immersive playing experience. Whether practising classical pieces or modern arrangements, the authentic tonal character ensures every nuance is faithfully reproduced.

There are 10 voices in total with the ability to have dual/layers and a duo mode that enables two people to play at the same time.

Authentic Playing Feel

The Yamaha YDP146 features an 88-key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard that replicates the weighted touch of an acoustic piano. The lower keys offer a heavier feel, while the higher keys are lighter, allowing for the precise control and dynamic expression required by developing players. The matte finish on the black keys adds to the tactile, authentic feel, preventing slippage during longer practice sessions.

Expressive Control

Complete with three integrated pedals; damper, soft, and sostenuto, the YDP-146 allows for advanced performance techniques. The damper pedal supports half-pedal functionality, enabling subtle variations in sound resonance, just as you would expect from a traditional grand piano. This setup provides the foundation for nuanced playing and develops the necessary pedal technique for more advanced repertoire.

Speaker System

The speaker system is a 2x12cm setup delivering 2x8w of power - this ensures an excellent balance of power and clarity, delivering rich low frequencies and superb, clear highs that compliment all of the onboard voices.

Yamaha have also added new diffuser grille, designed to ensure treble notes are clearer even from a distance. It allows for a well-balanced sound across all registers creating a pleasant sound field for both the player and the audience.

Bluetooth Connectivity and Smart Pianist App

The YDP146 is Bluetooth compatible, allowing you to connect your smart device to the piano and playback music or use optional practice apps. In addition, you can connect Yamaha's Smart Pianist app allowing you to add more functionality to the piano. You'll be able to adjust settings, select voices, record performances, and it'll even help you learn your favourite songs that are in your Music Library.

Additional Features

Other features include 10 voice demo songs, 50 classics and 303 lesson songs, a handy recording function, and a dual headphone socket for silent practice sessions.
