Yamaha - YDP-S55 WH Arius

The YDP-S55 features a piano sound sampled from Yamaha's world-renowned CFX concert grand piano. The combination of its sparkling treble and deep bass delivers a wonderfully expressive sound.

From the lowest to the highest notes, the YDP-S55 delivers a detailed, clear and harmonically rich sound. It allows you to play expressively, being able to faithfully reproduce all the nuances in your daily practice and all the emotions you want to share in your performances.

With 88 notes and a mechanism comparable to that of a piano, the GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard offers a natural feel, with a heavier touch in the bass and a lighter touch in the treble. It perfectly reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, with a response and feel similar to that of a grand piano, enabling rapid note repetition and perfect control of nuances. What's more, it incorporates a half-pedal function that perfectly simulates the interaction between the damper and the string as the pedal is depressed.

One of the elements that give a grand piano its charm is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the whole instrument. The YDP-S55 meticulously reproduces this phenomenon using a revolutionary technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite). VRM Lite creates a rich and varied sound by simulating the complex interactions created when string vibrations propagate across the soundboard and to other strings, depending on keyboard playing and pedal use.

In addition to its remarkable grand piano sound, the YDP-S55 also offers other sounds, with a total of 10 instruments, including an electric piano, organ, vibraphone and strings.

The YDP-S55 also features 353 songs, including 50 classical pieces and 303 practice pieces from famous methods such as Beyer, Burgmüller, Czerny and Hanon. It's also compatible with the free Smart Pianist app: simply connect your smartphone or tablet to the instrument via a simple USB cable after downloading and installing the app.

The Smart Pianist app makes it easy to use the instrument's various functions, and even displays the sheet music for the built-in pieces. There's also a Piano Room function to help you perfect the piano sound by making various adjustments.

The YDP-S55 uses a new technology that optimally corrects the sound balance according to the selected volume, giving you a natural, pleasant and relaxing sound for your ears, even when you play for a long time.

It also features Stereophonic Optimizer technology, which allows you to enjoy the same sound as when you're sitting in front of an acoustic grand piano, even through headphones.
