For over a century, Yamaha has crafted the pianos played on the world’s greatest stages. The ARIUS Series brings this heritage and technology into your home with instruments designed to offer beginning players and those returning to playing after a break the authentic feel and resonance of acoustic pianos.
For beginning players or those who have just returned to playing the piano, it’s important to choose an instrument that possesses one of the key factors behind the expressive power capabilities of the piano – the ability to respond to your touch exactly as you intended.
PLAYABILITY – FOR TRUE EXPRESSION
Experience total control and real touch from the very first time you sit down at the keyboard. With touch that is natural and comfortable, the ARIUS playing experience is smooth, responsive, and very close to playing an acoustic piano.
The new ARIUS pianos feature greater precision of touch and more natural resonance to give you even more control over the most intricate details.
YDP‑166 / YDP‑S56: GrandTouch-E™ keyboard
Newly designed keys replicate a broad range of expression even more smoothly.
YDP‑146 / YDP‑S36: Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard
Featuring improved sensors capable of detecting the subtlest nuances of your input.
SOUND – FOR CLARITY AND BALANCE
ARIUS pianos have a clear, balanced sound spanning all registers, from deep bass to dazzling treble.
Thanks to the latest sampling technology, the CFX Voice faithfully simulates Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano.
From the intricate phrases of études to expressive melodies, ARIUS empowers you to capture the appeal of any song.
All four models are equipped with a diffuser grille, creating a fuller, more focused sound from bass to treble.
