Stiftung Warentest: Two top places & top marks for Yamaha digital pianos
Two top places and a third place: Yamaha was able to convince the testers of Stiftung Warentest. Under the heading "The ambitious piano", the independent consumer organization tested home and hybrid pianos in the current issue 11/2021 of the magazine "test". The testers' favorite was the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-735, which won the home piano test with a score of 2.0 (good). Among the hybrid pianos, the Yamaha AvantGrand NU1X achieved the top score of 2.1 (good) together with another model. Furthermore, Stiftung Warentest recommends the Arius YDP-164 as the "cheapest good device" in the home piano segment.- 88 keys, GrandTouch-S keyboard with top layers
