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 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 bench for a traditional look.
GHS graded hammer action plays more like an acoustic piano
Sweetwater 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.
