Yamaha Arius YDP-105 Rosewood

The Yamaha Arius YDP-105 is a digital piano designed to offer a natural, expressive playing experience, faithful to the touch and sound of an acoustic piano.

Thanks to its 88-key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with matte coating for the black keys, it reproduces a progressive upright piano feel. Its AMW Stereo Sampling technology delivers a rich, balanced sound, while pedal resonance adds depth to playing. Elegant and compact, it blends easily into any modern interior.

88-key GHS keyboard for piano feel

The Graded Hammer Standard mechanism reproduces a heavier touch in the lower register and a lighter touch in the upper register, ideal for developing a solid technique. Matte-finish black keys enhance grip and comfort during long sessions.

Realistic tones and polyphony

The AMW Stereo Sampling generator offers 10 essential voices (including pianos, strings, organs) with 64-note polyphony, enough for most classical and modern tunes.

Learning and playing functions

The YDP-105 includes Duo mode for two players in the same range, and Dual mode for superimposing two sounds. It comes with 10 voice demos and 10 piano tunes for inspiration and progress.

Furniture design and ergonomics

With its unobtrusive cabinet format, sliding lid and three pedals (including half-pedal on the Damper), the YDP-105 combines aesthetics with everyday practicality.

Sound quality and amplification

Two 6 W amplifiers power a pair of 12 cm speakers for clear, balanced sound in the home. Reverb and Damper Resonance effects enhance presence and expressiveness.
