Description

Standard size, 88-key model of the ARIUS digital piano featuring weighted keyboard. The GHS keyboard provides a richly expressive playing feel. Includes compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app.

SOUND THAT INSPIRES

The YDP-105 is designed to provide perfectly balanced sound throughout the piano's range.

Revel in the superb sound of stereo-sampled instrument Voices such as a Yamaha grand piano delivered through newly designed speakers in rich harmonic detail that makes any musical endeavor—whether practice or play—a truly inspiring experience.

AUTHENTIC ACOUSTIC PIANO TOUCH AND HALF-DAMPER PEDAL CONTROL

With a weighted 88-key piano action, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel in the lower range to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GHS keyboard provides a grand piano-style response and feel, allowing rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control. Moreover, there’s a half-damper feature that authentically replicates the damper action on a grand piano, providing rich expressive variation.

REPRODUCING THE RESONANCE OF AN ACOUSTIC PIANO

Damper Resonance reproduces the broad, deep sound field of an acoustic piano. It also mirrors the tonal changes that result when a damper pedal on a grand piano is depressed. It includes sounds such as those emitted from the key bed and emulates the cumulative resonance that occurs when all of these sounds blend together.

ENJOY BUILT-IN SONGS, ALONG WITH INTUITIVE OPERATION AND SCORE-VIEWING WITH THE SMART PIANIST APP.

The YDP-105 features an authentic grand piano sound, along with 9 other built-in instrument Voices including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings, along with 10 famous built-in classical songs.

The YDP-105 is also compatible with the free Yamaha Smart Pianist app—simply download the app to your smart device and connect it to the instrument*.

The Smart Pianist app allows easy operation of the various Voice functions of the instrument and makes it simple to call up a range of scores—including scores for the built-in songs. It also features a powerful Piano Room function for changing the tonal quality and resonance settings of the piano sound, as well as a recording function.

* Requires a cable connection. Be sure to purchase the correct cable for your smart device.

STYLISH DESIGN MATCHES YOUR ROOM INTERIOR

While based primarily on straight lines, the design of ARIUS pianos incorporates elegant curves that are typical of a grand piano. Moreover, you can choose your favorite color to suit your room interior and personal preference.

OTHER FEATURES

LIMITING THE MAXIMUM VOLUME

A new Volume Limiter function lets you set a fixed maximum volume level, to regulate the sound volume to your preference over the speakers or headphones.

PLAY ALONG WITH A PARTNER – IN THE SAME OCTAVE

Duo Mode makes the instrument two keyboards in one, letting two players play the same piano sound and octave range side-by-side. This is especially useful when learning with a partner, letting you learn and practice parts together.
