I am looking for a piano that has the sensitivity settings like the yamaha arius 181. I played the 181 at a store and one of my favorite parts of it was the ability to change the sensitivity settings. I am just looking for a cheaper piano with this option. I realize that the arius 161 also has it but it is still a little to expensive. I wouldn't mind if it was a different popular brand but I don't think any brands other than yamaha have it. Are there any other brands that have touch sensitivity? Thanks!

The ability to adjust the touch response settings is a standard feature on most, if not all, digital pianos - this includes the most inexpensive Yamaha P35 and Casio PX-150.
Kind regards, James x

Ok thanks I didn't realize that the other pianos had that option. Quick question why don't pianos like the yamaha arius 141 or 142 have that option?

Its a very simple implementation isn't it where the output volume is adjusted accordingly? I have this feature on my Clavinova but was disappointed because its not like the action is in reality any different.

The DGX 640 series will have the sounds of the Arius pinos plus a lot more voices, and touch sensitivity too. Around £570 or under $900. But it looks bloody awful . . . I`ve got the earlier model, so I know.
Touch sensitivity is a misnomer. The keys are no lighter, but the sound is brighter/softer depending on whether you use the soft or hard setting. I had a Clavinova which also had a tonal setting. It did exactly the same job . . .
