Yamaha Arius YDP-S55B Digital Piano Matte Black

Beautiful, Powerful Sound Sampled from the Premium Yamaha CFX Concert Grand

The YDP-S55 features a piano sound sampled from Yamaha’s high-end CFX concert grand – a renowned piano that combines brilliant highs with a powerful, resonant bass in an exceptionally expressive tone.

The YDP-S55 delivers the same unique sound – from the low to the high keys – full of brilliance and rich in colorful harmonic content. It gives you extraordinary expressiveness and nuance that feels authentic both in daily practice and your most emotional performances.

Authentic Acoustic Playability and Full Control with the Half-Pedal Unit

With an 88-key piano action, the GH3 keyboard (Graded Hammer 3) mimics the touch of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel on the lower keys to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GH3 keyboard offers the functionality and playing feel of a grand piano, enabling fast repetition and authentic expressive control. Additionally, it features a half-damper function that authentically reproduces the damper effect of a grand piano, allowing for diverse expressive variations.

Harmonic Resonance Like a Grand Piano – Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite)

One fascination of a grand piano is the distinctive resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. The YDP-S55 reproduces this rich resonance effect through groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite). VRM Lite generates a varied sound by simulating the complex resonances that occur when string vibrations transfer to the soundboard and other strings. This happens according to the timing and intensity of your playing on the keyboard and pedals.

Robust and Powerful Sound Produced by the "Tone Escapement Construction"

Besides authentic grand piano sounds, the YDP-S55 offers various other instruments with a total of 10 voices – including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings.

The YDP-S55 also includes 353 built-in songs, featuring 50 famous classical pieces and 303 comprehensive exercises from renowned methods such as Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny, and Hanon. The instrument is also compatible with Yamaha’s free Smart Pianist app – simply download it on your smart device and connect it to the instrument*.

With the Smart Pianist app, you can easily control the instrument’s various voice functions and access sheet music for both internal and external songs. It also features a comprehensive Piano Room function, allowing you to customize tone quality and resonance settings to suit your piano sound preferences.

* A cable connection is required. Be sure to purchase the appropriate cable for your smart device.

Features for Enhanced Listening Comfort When Using Headphones

The YDP-S55 uses new technology that optimally adjusts the sound balance according to the volume you select – for an exceptionally natural sound that protects your ears even during long playing sessions.

It also includes a Stereophonic Optimizer effect, allowing you to enjoy the natural, spacious sound you experience in front of an acoustic grand piano, even when playing with headphones.

Slim, Stylish Design That Integrates Elegantly

The body has a shallow depth, allowing you to place the instrument easily in any room. It offers a chic, stylish design that enhances your living space. Additionally, the keyboard cover gives the instrument a flat and simple look when closed.
