The Yamaha Arius YDP-S55 delivers the prestigious tone of a concert grand piano and the touch of premium keys in a stylish yet space-saving console. Powered by the renowned Yamaha CFX sound engine, this digital piano faithfully reproduces the complex tones of Yamaha's flagship concert grand. The Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard features synthetic ebony and ivory key tops, absorbing moisture and providing a familiar, tactile surface. Despite its advanced sound and feel, the YDP-S55 has a slim profile suited for tight spaces. Connecting it to the Smart Pianist app provides an intuitive graphic interface to select from various piano and instrument Voices, configure settings and learn songs by following an on-screen chord chart.

CFX Stereo Sampling for Prestigious Tone

The Arius YDP-S55 harnesses the power of the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano sound engine, faithfully reproducing the complex tones of Yamaha's flagship CFX grand piano. Each note has been meticulously sampled to capture the depth and resonance of the CFX. The YDP-S55 plays these samples through stereo speakers to immerse you in rich, expressive sound.

Graded Hammer 3 Keyboard for Natural Touch

The YDP-S55 features Yamaha's acclaimed Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory key tops. The GH3 keys are weighted to provide a natural piano touch from light to heavy. The synthetic key tops absorb moisture and provide a textured surface, preventing your fingers from slipping. Together, the GH3 keyboard and CFX sound engine give the authentic experience of playing a premium grand piano.

Compact Form for Any Space

While the YDP-S55 delivers the sound and touch of a high-quality digital piano, its slim profile is suited for tight spaces. At just over four feet wide, it's an ideal choice for small apartments, college dorms and other compact areas. Despite its space-saving design, the YDP-S55 does not sacrifice the powerful sound system and premium keyboard found in larger console digital pianos.

Smart Pianist App for Intuitive Control

Connecting the YDP-S55 to the Smart Pianist app provides an intuitive way to operate the instrument from your iOS device. The graphic interface makes it easy to select Voices, configure metronome, or transpose settings and more. Smart Pianist can even analyze the chords of songs in your music library, displaying an on-screen chord chart to help you learn and play along. With Smart Pianist, you have full control over the YDP-S55 at your fingertips.
