STEP INTO THE ART OF THE PIANO

Learning to express yourself musically is about more than proper technique—you also need to build a sense of musicality and develop a feeling for what you want to share with the world.

ARIUS pianos are more than just instruments for practice – they are partners on a lifelong musical journey, allowing you to pour your full range of emotions into the keys and discover your ability to breathe life into music.

TRUE PIANO EXPRESSION

For over a century, Yamaha has crafted the pianos played on the world’s greatest stages. The ARIUS Series brings this heritage and technology into your home with instruments designed to offer beginning players and those returning to playing after a break the authentic feel and resonance of acoustic pianos.

For beginning players or those who have just returned to playing the piano, it’s important to choose an instrument that possesses one of the key factors behind the expressive power capabilities of the piano—the ability to respond to your touch exactly as you intended.

PLAYABILITY

CONSISTENT FEEL AND EXPRESSIVE RESPONSE FOR SUPERB EXPRESSIVE CONTROL

Powerful, delicate, fast—the GrandTouch-E™ keyboard responds to changes in your playing style, offering a feel close to that of a grand piano. Consistent responsiveness across various playing techniques ensures a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience.

INTUITIVE PEDALLING FOR A MORE NUANCED PERFORMANCE

The damper pedal is equipped with a half-pedalling feature, allowing you to sustain notes for as long or as short as desired by controlling the pedal depth for more nuanced expression.

SOUND

BRINGING THE SOUND OF A CONCERT GRAND PIANO INTO YOUR HOME

ARIUS pianos feature a Voice created by sampling the CFX, Yamaha’s flagship concert grand piano. The CFX Voice offers a richly colourful sound across all registers and ample expressiveness to capture your every emotion.

CLEARER SOUND THAT TRAVELS FURTHER

The new diffuser grille ensures treble notes are clearer even from a distance. The well-balanced sound across all registers creates a pleasant sound field for both the player and the audience.

BEAUTIFULLY SIMULATED DEPTH OF RESONANCE FROM PIANO STRINGS

ARIUS pianos are equipped with Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite (VRM Lite), which intricately simulates the complex resonance of a grand piano’s strings. The keys and pedals can be used in combination to achieve a wide range of sounds.
