Yamaha Arius YDP-S54 Digital Piano in Black

If you're looking for an affordable and home-friendly digital piano that can offer the acclaimed sound of Yamaha's CFX Concert Grand Piano, the Arius YDP-S54 Digital Piano is the obvious choice. Freshly sampled during its development phase, the YDP-S54 is a powerful digital piano that can project the powerful low-end and crystal-clear highs of Yamaha's flagship instrument - for just a fraction of the price.

Perfect for pianists that are looking to develop their skills even further, the Yamaha Arius YDP-S54 Digital Piano features a full 88-key range for the ultimate musical expression. With Yamaha's 'Graded Hammer 3' key action, you can expect the response of a genuine acoustic piano; with a heavy feel on the lower keys and a lighter, more sensitive sensation in the higher register. Featuring a triple threat of sensors, these can accurately pick up the movement of the keys and translate their velocities into a realistic, dynamic and articulate sound.

Fitted with Yamaha's 'Intelligent Acoustic Control' function, this technology ensures that the piano's sound is appropriately adjusted for any volume level, so that players you can enjoy a full and balanced piano sound no matter how quiet or loud.

The 'Stereophonic Optimizer' is another noteworthy feature, letting you relish in the full, ambient and roomy sound of the piano when sat in front of it. The headphone output also inherits this function, offering an engulfing piano sound that will inspire lengthy practice sessions without disturbing neighbours.

Here's what Yamaha says about the YDP-S54 Digital Piano:

A grand experience from a compact home piano

Immerse yourself in the sounds you create, whether purely for fun or as you strive for perfection. This ARIUS digital piano is a finely crafted instrument made possible by culmination of over a century of advanced Yamaha technologies and expertise. Perfect for hobbyists and students alike, the ARIUS YDP-S54 is a slim, space-saving instrument that fits beautifully into any room.

The powerful tone of the acclaimed CFX concert grand piano

Newly sampled for the YDP-S54, the Yamaha's flagship 9' CFX concert grand piano, offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass combined in a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010, and has since gained recognition as one of the greatest concert grands of modern times.

Authentic acoustic piano playability

With an 88-key piano action and synthetic ivory and ebony keys, the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from the heavy feel in the lower register to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GH3 features a three-sensor configuration that, accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard to provide a grand piano-style response and feel, allowing rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control.

Designed for your personal enjoyment

The YDP-S54 offers convenient functions for when you cannot always play the piano at high volume. Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) adjusts the sound automatically to allow players to enjoy balanced sound at any volume level.

Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the natural, spacious sound experienced when sitting in front of an acoustic piano, even when wearing headphones. When using this function, voices sampled from acoustic pianos are perceived to come from the body of the instrument itself, not your headphones, providing a comfortable, natural experience.
