Feel

With an 88-key piano action, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel in the lower keys to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. Moreover, there’s a half-damper feature that authentically replicates the damper action of a grand piano, providing rich expressive variation. One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument.

All ARIUS models elaborately reproduce this rich sympathetic resonance through a ground breaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite). VRM Lite creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedalling.

Sound Balance

Both ARIUS models employ new technology that optimally corrects the sound balance according to the volume you set – giving you an exceptionally natural sound that’s easy to listen to and is gentle on the ears, even when playing for a long time. It also has a Stereophonic Optimizer effect that lets you enjoy the natural, spacious sound you experience sitting in front of an acoustic grand piano, even when wearing headphones.

Design

While based primarily on straight lines, the YDP-145 has a stylish design that incorporates elegant curves that are typical of a grand piano. The piano cabinet of the YDP-S35 has a slim depth that lets you neatly install it in any room, and makes for a chic, stylish design that effortlessly enhances your living space. Moreover, you can choose from a variety of colour variations to find the one that suits your interior and personal taste.
