I hear a huge difference. To me there really is no comparison. The YDP sounds excellent while the CLP sounds friggen phenomenal. The CLP has a lush full rich resonance (it’s difficult to describe sound lol) that just immediately makes me say “wow!” It’s just so pleasing to the ears. The electric piano sound on the CLP is just mind blowing, nevermind the grand piano sounds. I was looking at the YDP, but I think I’ll spend some extra money and buy the CLP. The superior sound will motivate me to play more besides this is something that I will own for a long time. Great comparison thanks!
Absolutely same in the better sound and more authentic feel motivating to play more. I wanna upgrade from my alesis recital semi weighted I got for Christmas in 2019. The semi weighted keys and absolute opposite of authenticity really makes me not wanna play on it anymore, especially considering I couldn’t even transfer over and play on an acoustic upright properly because of the weight difference in the keys. It just builds up bad muscle memory on your touch if you wanna go play on a real piano or one that imitates one.
The CLP is a bit better, more ambient sound, less direct, but I don't think there's a double price difference. I would go to CLP-745 in this price range, more features and much better speakers than 735. The YDP-165 is fantastic for the price.
I have been saving for the 165 for my daughter. Hearing the 735 makes me want to cry but double the price is a little strech for me I hope she will make the most of the 165 😢
The 165 is awesome. Even though Ted is saying the CLPs CFX sample is better, that is just his opinion. Even in the video I feel the 165 sample sounds better than the CLP.
She will love the 165!😊
I agree. They 165 sounded better to me
Big difference in the sound. I started off looking at the YDP-165 except that my local store only carries CLP so I liked the CLP-735 but decided that an upgrade to CLP-745 was worth considering. Then I watched your video comparing the CLP-745 to CLP-785. There are good deals so it was affordable and a great piano. The mellow grand even compares to my U3 if you have imagination.
Honestly I don’t think there’s a difference in the sound
@@elisapozzi155 between 745 and 785?
I've taken a lot away from your reviews. Now, if I may ask...
How does the feel and action of the keys for the Arius YDP 165 or S55 compare to the P71 or P45?
I have the P71 created for Amazon that I purchased in 2019.
My only concern to stepping into the YDP 165 or S55 is that the feel of the keyboard will be the same or only slightly different than the piano I already have.
Do you have any comment for us?
Not just the sound is different but the Keyboard too
What piece are you playing at 9:06 ? So beautiful
Slight mistake: The 735 does not have bluetooth; the 745 and upwards have it.
I would have like to see a comparison between the CLP-725 and the YDP-185. Best of Arius versus Worst of Clavinova.
Why is the 725 worst? I was hoping to purchase one instead of the arias ydp45. What are your thoughts on that?
I’m saving up for the best that I can manage on my budget and really just want the grand piano feel and sound
@@lyndawilliams4570 I'm just saying it's the lowest model among the Clavinova line.
Huge difference. 735 gives more acouistic and vibrant sounds. Deeper...
Hi! I'm really overwhelmed by the different yahmaha models! I think I've narrowed down to arius YDP-184 OR clavinova CLP-735 OR 738. can you please give some guidance? I can't find a comparison of these models. Thanks so much!!
which Piano is best for Trinity Grade 5 Student? I am looking to buy for My Son. . please advice ..
There is something about amplifier rated power and included power supply that needs to be understood: just because an amplifier is rated, let's say 30 watts per channel (as in the case of the CLP-735, for a total of 60 watts of amplifier rated output) doesn't mean the digital piano will actually achieve that value, even at maximum volume. First of all, the power supply that Yamaha provides for the CLP-735 is the PA-300C, which produces 45 watts. The included power supply will not be capable of delivering the amplifiers what they can achieve. In addition, turning the volume all the way up is not enough to guarantee the amplifiers are pushing a maximum wattage (even if the power supply could deliver all the power needed). That also depends on other factors that are not specified in Yamaha's manual. For example, is that for a 4 ohm load or 8 ohm load? If that specification is for a 4 ohm load, but the included speakers are 8 ohms, then the amplifiers will deliver about half the power. In addition, Yamaha specifies that the CLP-573 consumers only 18 watts (which is likely to be the upper limit of consumption on certain voices, such as bass, with the volume all the way up. It is unlikely that a piano voice will consume that much power).
The Yamaha YDP-165 comes with the same power supply (PA-300C) than the CLP-735 and Yamaha states it consumes only 13 watts. So, 18-13=5 watts of difference in power consumption is not going to make one instrument much louder than the other, assuming both have the same speaker sensitivity (the YDP-165 has a 12cm speaker vs the CLP-735 has a 16cm speaker). The larger speaker will probably create a more rounded sound, particularly at lower frequencies. But neither piano has a proper speaker box anyway. The main point I want to make is this: amplifier rated output is mainly irrelevant in practice. Let me make an extreme example: I have played the Yamaha N3X, which has, if I remember correctly, 545 watts total (it has 15 amplifiers). If you turn the volume of the N3X all the way up, it doesn't sound crazy loud. In fact, I would say it sounds about the same volume of the CLP795GP, which probably sounds about the same volume of the YDP184. I have played all these pianos, and I don't think there was a major difference in volume among them. If this topic becomes interesting, I can take a decibel meter and measure exactly how loud each piano gets.
...what about the headphone amplifiers?
@@tedbarsalou833 I haven't seen specs for headphone amplifiers in digital pianos.
It would help if you didn't sample with so much sustain. Would help hear individual tones.
Thanks! I currently have a Yamaha CLP-545 (6 years old) that has a very heavy action (harder to push down to activate the sound) and am looking for something with a lighter touch. A friend has a Roland RD2000 and it is definitely a lighter action. Does Kawai lighter touch than the CLP-545? I visited your Austin store (enjoyed the time with your guys) a month back, but they only had a DG, and lots of acoustic pianos. Have you received any CA or CN units in Austin?
We do!!
The CLP does seem to have a heavier touch than the CA or CN Kawaii. Clavinovas are a bit more Steinwayesque. My CLP-785 is has a slightly heavier keyboard than my acoustic Yamaha U3.
You can set the key action:)
Hey Ted, I would love to know the pieces you are playing for the demo. If you get a chance and see this comment.
I will chose kawai 😎
Hi, YDP-165 VS CLP-725 are similar price which one is better to buy? Please advice.
Clp 725 👌
Instrumentos de categorias bem distantes, melhor seria comparar o 165 com o CLP-725. Aqui no Brazil eles tem preços mais próximos. Pretendo comprar o 165 mas quero tocar antes, se não gostar irei testar o 725.
the difference between the strings efects is big. The clp has way more superior quality.
Which is better in terms of CFX between YDP-165 and CLP-735?
CLP735 has a newer, deeper sample.
@@benjaminsmith2287 the arius 165 is the newer product. it has a diffrent sound.
Can you please help ma to explain the little bit difference between the Yamaha YDP-165 and the Yamaha CLP-725?
I’m also interested, since they come at the same price in Germany
@@BenjaminBauer1me too. the 725 is a clavinova but arius 165 is the newer pruduct. howerver, arius has only cfx sound while the clp 725 has cfx and boesendörfer sound.
I came here to ask this question and I am sad it didn´t get an answer. Has anyone compared the CLP-725 to the YDP-165? This is the good comparison as they cost almost the same. Thanks.
Imagine pay more than 15 thousand on a Yamaha 735 in USA. Thats the reality who lives in Brazil, like me.

what about the clp 725? why does everybody ignore its existence?
Who has? They have made video about it.
What piece are you playing at 6:06 mins?
It’s called “Sandstorm” by Darude
@@killthefacade180 it’s a really beautiful piece of music! Thanks!
@@killthefacade180 just checked, it is nowhere close! 😀
@@killthefacade180 ahahah gotem
Someone figured out the name of the piece? It is not "Sandstorm" for sure ;-)
Obvious sound difference indeed
У 165 очень короткие семплы в среднем и вернем диапазоне. Прямо моментально затухают.
Sorry, but I can't tell the difference. The only difference is features, but the sounds are the same.
Yamaha forgoten P series..😭
Why would they make a better P-Series piano?
The P-515 is already fantastic
@@originalstarwalker21 ...The model is not available in india!..😭
sorry but this video does not help
