Yamaha Arius Digital Pianos
Joy that lasts!
The Yamaha Arius series has been one of the most popular digital pianos for beginners, returning players and ambitious hobby pianists for many years. Yamaha combines authentic piano playing with modern technology and home-friendly design here — creating instruments that bring lasting pleasure from the first lessons to advanced playing.
Whether a classic console piano or a space-saving slim variant: the Arius family offers the right model for different needs, budgets and living situations. All instruments stand for the values that have distinguished Yamaha for generations: excellent playability, expressive tone and reliable quality.
Authentic sound of a Yamaha concert grand
The heart of the Arius series is the sound of the renowned Yamaha CFX concert grand. Extensive sampling creates a detailed and balanced piano sound with brilliant highs, clear mids and a powerful bass foundation. The 192-note polyphony ensures natural sound development even in complex passages.
For additional authenticity, the Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite) technology simulates the complex resonances of an acoustic piano. It takes into account the interactions between strings, soundboard and pedals, resulting in a lively and dynamic sound.
Natural touch like an acoustic piano
A convincing digital piano not only has to sound good, it must also feel right. That’s why Yamaha uses weighted hammer actions in the Arius models to realistically reproduce the touch of an acoustic piano.
Different keyboard systems are used depending on the model. The entry-level models feature the proven GHS keyboard (Graded Hammer Standard), while the higher-end models are equipped with the GrandTouch-E keyboard. Both systems convey the characteristic difference between the heavier bass registers and the lighter treble, enabling precise control over dynamics and expression.
Stylish design for modern living spaces
The Yamaha Arius digital pianos were specifically developed for use in the home. Their elegant and timeless design fits harmoniously into modern living environments and makes the instruments a permanent part of the home.
While the classic YDP models impress with their traditional piano appearance, the YDP-S variants offer a particularly slim design for smaller rooms. Thanks to their compact dimensions, the instruments are ideal for apartments, living rooms and music rooms without sacrificing comfort or sound quality.
Which Yamaha Arius models suit you?
The Arius series includes both classic console models and space-saving slim variants. While the 100-series models provide the ideal entry point, the 60-series models are aimed at players who place particular value on an even more authentic touch and more powerful sound reproduction.
