Traditional upright-piano look makes a striking first impression

Before you even get your hands on the the Yamaha Arius YDP-105B, you'll be stunned by its richly-finished black walnut cabinet and elegant appointments. These give the Arius an inviting acoustic allure that won't look out of place in a living room, teaching studio, recital hall, or house of worship. Includes a matching black walnut bench for a traditional look.

GHS graded hammer action plays more like an acoustic piano

Music Experience keyboardists have been impressed with the Arius piano's Graded Hammer Action (GHS) keybeds. This feature gives the Yamaha Arius YDP-105B a realistic key response that's heavier in the bass side and lighter on the top end. Matte black keytops absorb sweat and moisture to keep fingers from slipping through extended periods of use. Though not quite as realistic feeling as the higher-end Ariuses, the YDP-105B does a great job for students and weekenders

AWM sampling and built-in speaker system for realistic grand piano sound

Yamaha's AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) sampling employs digital technology to record an instrument's sound, and then applies a high-quality digital filter to the recorded samples. Using pairs of waveforms captured by two microphones for Left and Right, AWM Stereo Sampling creates a deeper, richer and more spacious soundstage. You'll also appreciate the Arius YDP-105B's built-in speaker system. Just turn it on and you can start performing — there's no need to connect any other gear. That makes the YDP-105B the perfect transition from an acoustic instrument to the benefits of a digital one.

Playability features that keep the music flowing

We've seen some cool digital pianos here at Music Experience, but Yamaha continues to up the game with included features that make practice and performance the way music is supposed to be: fun! For instance, a Dual Mode lets the player combine two voices together to create interesting compliments. For practicing, engage the Duo Mode to split the keyboard into two halves so teacher and student can play at the same time. Lastly, a volume limiter keeps an eye towards hearing protection, lowering the volume of the instrument whether you're wearing headphones or playing out loud.

Sound That Inspires

The YDP105 is designed to provide perfectly balanced sound throughout the piano's range. Revel in the superb sound of stereo-sampled instrument Voices such as a Yamaha grand piano delivered through newly designed speakers in rich harmonic detail that makes any musical endeavor—whether practice or play—a truly inspiring experience.

Authentic Acoustic Piano Touch And Half-damper Pedal Control

With a weighted 88-key piano action, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano, from a naturally heavy feel in the lower range to a lighter touch in the upper octaves. The GHS keyboard provides a grand piano-style response and feel, allowing rapid note repetition and authentic expressive control. Moreover, there’s a half-damper feature that authentically replicates the damper action on a grand piano, providing rich expressive variation.

Reproducing The Resonance Of An Acoustic Piano

Damper Resonance reproduces the broad, deep sound field of an acoustic piano. It also mirrors the tonal changes that result when a damper pedal on a grand piano is depressed. It includes sounds such as those emitted from the key bed and emulates the cumulative resonance that occurs when all of these sounds blend together.

The YDP-105 features an authentic grand piano sound, along with 9 other built-in instrument Voices including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings, along with 10 famous built-in classical songs.
