NEW Yamaha YDP-S56 B Schwarz Digitalpiano

Yamaha YDP-S56 B Black – Sleek digital piano with a premium piano feel

Are you looking for a digital piano that plays authentically, sounds powerful, and fits into modern living spaces without taking up too much room? The Yamaha YDP-S56 B Black from the ARIUS series combines the high-quality GrandTouch-E™ keyboard with the expressive sound of the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. With its sleek, stylish design, it’s ideal for beginners, those returning to the instrument, and ambitious players who want to practice regularly at home.

GrandTouch-E™ keyboard for precise control

The 88-key GrandTouch-E™ keyboard offers a playing feel that closely resembles that of an acoustic piano. It responds sensitively to varying touch strengths, enabling expressive playing—from soft, gentle passages to powerful accents. The synthetic ebony and ivory-look surfaces provide a comfortable grip and a high-quality playing experience.

Escapement simulation also replicates the behavior of a grand piano. This is particularly helpful if you want to do more than just play simple pieces; if you aim to develop your technique, dynamics, and musical expression over the long term.

Three pedals with half-pedal function

The Yamaha YDP-S56 B features a damper, sostenuto, and soft pedal. The damper pedal supports a half-pedal function, allowing for particularly precise control of the sustain. This creates a more nuanced playing experience that comes closer to that of an acoustic piano.

Yamaha CFX concert grand piano sound for the home

The piano sound is based on the renowned Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. This tone offers a multifaceted, dynamic sound across the entire range—from warm basses to clear trebles. For players, this means: more expression, more inspiration, and a sound that is just as compelling during practice as it is when playing freely.

In addition, VRM Lite simulates the resonances of an acoustic grand piano. Touch and pedal response work together to give the sound more depth and naturalness. The 2 x 20-watt speaker system, featuring two 12-cm speakers with diffusers, delivers a rich, room-filling sound.

Digital features for learning, practicing, and playing

With 10 tones, the YDP-S56 B offers not only classic piano sounds but also additional sounds such as electric piano and strings. The 353 built-in songs support learning and provide inspiration for new pieces. A metronome, MIDI recording, Duo Mode, and Dual Mode make the instrument a practical companion for everyday use.

In Duo Mode, the keyboard is divided into two equally tuned sections—ideal for lessons or practicing together. Dual Mode allows you to combine two tones, such as piano and strings, for richer arrangements.

Bluetooth and Smart Pianist App

The digital piano can be connected to smart devices via Bluetooth® Audio and MIDI. This allows you to stream music, play along with your favorite songs, or use learning apps. With the free Smart Pianist app, you can conveniently control many functions, view sheet music for built-in songs, and save your own recordings.

Sleek Design in Elegant Black

The Yamaha YDP-S56 B Black was designed for modern living spaces. The cabinet is slim, compact, and looks particularly tidy when the keyboard lid is closed. The black finish is timeless, understated, and fits into both classic and modern interiors.

With two headphone jacks, you can practice quietly at any time. The Stereophonic Optimizer ensures a natural sound through headphones, while Intelligent Acoustic Control keeps the sound balanced even at low volumes. This makes practicing flexible, enjoyable, and living-room-friendly.
