Yamaha YDP-105 Rosewood

Yamaha YDP-105 Rosewood Digital Piano — Authentic Touch, Compact Cabinet

The Yamaha YDP-105 Rosewood is a standard-size, 88-key digital piano for players seeking an acoustic-style playing experience without the space requirements of a real upright. Inside the dark rosewood cabinet, a Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard with matte black keytops gives a heavier feel in the lower keys and a lighter response in the upper octaves. AWM Stereo Sampling delivers a Yamaha grand piano Voice through 12 cm speakers, balanced across the entire range.

What Sets the YDP-105 Apart in the ARIUS Line

Damper Resonance modeling replicates the broad, deep sound field of an acoustic grand by emulating the cumulative resonance that occurs when the damper pedal is pressed. The half-damper feature on the included 3-pedal unit (Damper, Sostenuto, Soft) allows nuanced sustain control rarely found at this tier. A Volume Limiter caps maximum output to protect hearing during long sessions.

Graded Hammer Action — The Feel of an Acoustic Piano

GHS action recreates the mechanical response of a real grand, helping players develop finger strength according to traditional lesson standards.

• Keys: 88 — the full concert range is ideal for a complete classical repertoire
• Weighted Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard mirrors the touch of acoustic piano, with lower keys feeling heavier and upper octaves responding lightly.
• Touch Response: Hard / Medium / Soft / Fixed — four sensitivity curves to match player style

AWM Stereo Sampling — Grand Piano Tone at Home

Yamaha's AWM Stereo Sampling captures a real grand piano in stereo, preserving the harmonic detail that makes acoustic pianos expressive.

• Piano Sound: AWM Stereo Sampling — stereo-sampled grand piano Voice
• 10 built-in Voices — including electric piano, organ, vibraphone, and strings for tonal variety beyond the acoustic grand
• Polyphony: 64 notes — sustains complex pedalled passages without note drop-out

Built-In Sound System and Pedal Control

Integrated amplifier and a pair of speakers provide sound to fill your room, with the 3-pedal unit delivering acoustic-style sustain, sostenuto, and soft pedal control.

• Amplifier Output: 6 W x 2 — stereo amplification tuned for the onboard speakers
• Built-in Speakers: 12 cm x 2 — newly designed drivers for balanced response
• For silent duet practice, use the standard stereo phone jack x 2 headphone outputs.

Ideal for Students, Returning Players, and Home Studios

This model suits intermediate piano students who need a full 88-key weighted action to develop proper finger technique at home. Adults returning to piano who want the furniture aesthetic of a classic upright without the tuning demands will find the dark rosewood finish a natural fit for a living room. The YDP-105 Rosewood offers authentic touch, half-damper expression, and Smart Pianist app connectivity. A built-in metronome and 10 piano preset songs support structured practice, while Duo Mode splits the keyboard for side-by-side lessons.
