Yamaha Arius YDP-S54 digital piano

A very capable digital piano in a modern, slimline cabinet with a soft closing lid that offers excellent value for money. Designed to fit into any space, the YDP-S54 is designed to be neat and compact while retaining a full length keyboard and 3 pedals, as found on an acoustic grand piano. The GH3 keyboard action mechanism is borrowed from the previous generation Clavinova models, with 3 sensors to accurately recreate the response of an acoustic grand piano while synthetic ivory and ebony key surfaces give a luxurious and tactile feel. Its sound is sampled from Yamaha's flagship 9'0 long CFX concert grand, considered to be one of the finest concert grands of modern times, which is authentically reproduced by 2 x 12cm speakers, powered by 2 x 20 watt amplifiers. The instrument produces plenty of sound to fill a living room, and for when it can't be played at full volume, Yamaha's clever IAC 'Intelligent Acoustic Control' and 'Stereophonic Optimiser' technologies tweak the sound to retain its rich and spatial quality, even at low volumes or through headphones. It is completed by an onboard two track record facility with a metronome, along with USB to HOST for use as a controller keyboard or with Yamaha's Smart Pianist app for iOS and Android.
