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 ExpressionExperience 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 BalanceARIUS 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 etudes 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.
A Partner for Everyday LifeWhen your piano blends in at home, music becomes an integral part of everyday life.
ARIUS digital pianos feature refined designs and convenient features in compact units that are perfect for apartments, living rooms, and other spaces in the home.
Smart device connectivity along with recording functions and expressive Voices ensures that daily practice is more fun and effective, making music an indelible part of your everyday life.
Digital Features - For Daily PracticeOnly digital pianos can offer built-in features such as recording functions that prove your progress and Voices that help you explore the universe of music. Use the Smart Pianist app to make daily practice more fun and effective.
ARIUS pianos are ideal for everyone - from children just starting piano lessons to adults who want to pick up again on their own at home.
Turn daily practice into a time of discovery and inspiration.
Design - For Life at HomeWith elegant curves and refined lines, ARIUS pianos blend in with any home interior.
Their compact digital piano design encapsulates a balance of style and functionality and ensures a perfect fit in living rooms in family homes, as well as in apartments and other locations where space is at a premium.
The quality and design of ARIUS pianos make them reliable over the long run, always there to bring more enjoyment to everything from children's piano practice to family music time.
Making Practice Easier and More FunAll new ARIUS models (YDP-166/146/S56/S36) are Bluetooth® compatible. Connect wirelessly to a smart device to playback music or use commercially available practice apps.
The Smart Pianist app allows you to use your smart device to change Voices and configure settings on an ARIUS piano. It can display your own PDF scores as well as those included with the ARIUS, and offers a wide range of functions for your enjoyment, such as a guide feature to help you practice, and "Medal Challenges" that let you check the accuracy of your playing in a game-like manner.
