Our take on the Yamaha Arius YDP-S56 Slim Upright Digital Piano

The Yamaha Arius YDP-S56 is a slim upright digital piano with 88 GrandTouch-S graded weighted keys and a CFX concert grand sample with VRM Lite resonance modeling. Its shallow cabinet fits tight rooms, and it adds Bluetooth audio and MIDI, a three-pedal unit and dual headphone jacks. It sits above the entry Arius models and below the Clavinova line, so it trades some speaker size and cabinet depth for a compact footprint. It suits home players and students who want a realistic action and app support without a full-size console.

Questions and answers

How does the YDP-S56 differ from the YDP-145?
The S56 uses a slimmer cabinet and the same class of GrandTouch-S action, while the YDP-145 is a deeper console. Choose the S56 when floor space matters most.
Does it have weighted keys?
Yes. All 88 keys are GrandTouch-S graded weighted, heavier in the low end and lighter up top, with a synthetic ivory and ebony feel.
Can I use headphones?
Yes. There are two headphone jacks, so you can practice silently or play duets without disturbing others.
Does it work with the Smart Pianist app?
Yes. Bluetooth MIDI connects it to Smart Pianist for voice selection, settings and practice features, and Bluetooth audio lets you play along with tracks.
What is included in the box?
The piano comes with its integrated three-pedal unit and music rest. A bench and headphones are not included.
Is it good for a beginner?
Yes. The realistic action builds proper technique, and the lesson songs and app support help new players. Advanced players may want a Clavinova for more voices and bigger speakers.
