Premium Concert Grand Piano Experience at Home

The Yamaha YDP-165R Arius represents the pinnacle of home digital piano performance, featuring the advanced GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard action and Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano sound. This premium instrument delivers the authentic touch, tone, and response of a world-class acoustic grand piano in an elegant Dark Rosewood cabinet that enhances any living space.

Superior GH3 Keyboard Action - The Difference You Can Feel

The GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard represents a significant upgrade over standard digital piano actions. Featuring synthetic ebony and ivory keytops that absorb moisture and prevent slipping, the GH3 action provides the same tactile surface as a premium acoustic grand piano. The three-sensor detection system captures the subtle nuances of your playing, from delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo, with exceptional accuracy and responsiveness. Heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble, the graded hammer action helps you develop proper technique that translates seamlessly to acoustic pianos.

Every note has been meticulously sampled to capture the sparkling brilliance of the high register, the singing quality of the midrange, and the powerful, resonant depth of the bass. Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite adds the complex sympathetic vibrations and damper resonance of a real grand piano, creating an incredibly rich and authentic acoustic experience.
