Bring responsive piano touch and expressive concert grand sound into your home with the Yamaha Arius YDP-S56. Its slim cabinet provides the appearance and playing position of an upright piano while requiring less floor depth. The Black Walnut finish complements living rooms, music rooms, bedrooms, and teaching spaces.

GrandTouch-E Keyboard Response

The 88-key GrandTouch-E keyboard uses graded weighting, synthetic ebony and ivory key tops, and escapement to create a controlled acoustic-style response. Four touch sensitivity settings let players adjust the keyboard to their preferred playing strength. The integrated damper, sostenuto, and soft pedals support traditional piano technique, while the damper pedal includes half pedal control for more detailed sustain.

Yamaha CFX Sound and Built-In Learning Tools

The Yamaha CFX concert grand Voice delivers detailed tone across the keyboard. VRM Lite recreates the interaction of piano strings for added resonance, while 192-note polyphony supports layered passages and sustained pedal work. Players can explore 10 instrument Voices, 50 classical pieces, 303 lesson songs, 10 Voice demonstrations, a metronome, Duo mode, and two-track MIDI recording.

Flexible Home Practice and Connectivity

Dual 20-watt amplifiers and two 12 cm speakers with diffuser grilles provide balanced room sound. Two headphone jacks support private lessons, shared practice, and late-night playing. Bluetooth audio and MIDI connect compatible devices for music playback and app control, while USB audio supports 44.1 kHz, 24-bit stereo communication. The folding key cover protects the keyboard and creates a clean, flat profile when closed.

The Arius YDP-S56 gives developing and returning pianists a complete home instrument with weighted touch, traditional pedals, integrated sound, recording tools, and connected practice features.
