The powerful tone of the acclaimed CFX Concert Grand 

Sampled from Yamaha's flagship 9' CFX concert grand piano, offering sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass combined in a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010, and has since gained recognition as one of the greatest concert grands of modern times.

Experience total control and real touch from the very first time you sit down at the keyboard. With touch that is natural and comfortable, the ARIUS playing experience is smooth, responsive, and very close to playing an acoustic piano.
The new ARIUS pianos feature greater precision of touch and more natural resonance to give you even more control over the most intricate details.
YDP‑166: GrandTouch-E™ keyboard
Newly designed keys replicate a broad range of expression even more smoothly.

Designed for your personal enjoyment 

One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. All ARIUS models elaborately reproduce this rich sympathetic resonance through a groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRMLite).

VRM Lite creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling.

CFX GRAND PIANO FEEL
ARIUS pianos have a clear, balanced sound spanning all registers, from deep bass to dazzling treble. Thanks to the latest sampling technology, the CFX Voice faithfully simulates Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano.
From the intricate phrases of études to expressive melodies, ARIUS empowers you to capture the appeal of any song.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) adjusts the sound automatically to allow players to enjoy balanced sound at any volume level. Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the natural, spacious sound experienced when sitting in front of an acoustic piano, even when wearing headphones.

When using this function, voices sampled from acoustic pianos are perceived to come from the body of the instrument itself, not your headphones, providing a comfortable, natural experience.

Optimal tone at any volume level 

With the Yamaha Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) feature, you can enjoy playing your digital piano at a lower volume in a quiet home environment. Before IAC was introduced, playing at a low volume resulted in a loss of treble and bass. With the development of IAC, the instrument automatically adjusts the balance of bass and treble, creating a more realistic sound with more depth. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to the overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) when played at a low volume. The ability to retain a rich and balanced sound on a digital piano, regardless of volume, ensures the highest sound quality.

Superb sound from a compact and stylish design 

The Acoustic Optimiser delivers naturally smooth tonal richness across the entire keyboard by regulating the flow of sound and control of tone from the cabinet of the instrument. Yamaha developed this new technology with an in-depth knowledge of the acoustic properties of musical instruments.

A new kind of headphone experience 

When playing and listening to the instrument using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimiser adjusts the spacing of the sound and the separation from the piano, resulting in a spacious, surround sound quality that will inspire you to play for hours at a time. Within this private listening environment, the sound of the piano can be perceived to come from the body of the instrument rather than from the headphones, providing a more realistic and natural experience.
