Yamaha YDP S34 Digital Piano, Black

Full Description

Perfect modern style

Own a piano you can appreciate from all angles. The YDP S34 is known for its distinctive compact design. Yamaha created this instrument knowing that some traditional pianos won't look the part in your home. This stylish piano will, looking minimalist with its flat surface when closed. Its solid panels on either side sweep down all the way to the floor, meaning this piano will look like an attractive piece of furniture when not in use.

When in use, it looks beautiful too, with its bright keys and uncluttered panel. With a reduced number of controls on either side of the keys, it is intuitive to use and has a clean look. Lay your music out on the music stand that's inside the key cover. When this is folded down, it provides a wide, tall rest for your sheet music, able to hold plenty without being weighed down.

Concert grand elegance

Create the sound of one of the greatest concert grands in modern times. The Yamaha CFX grand piano is world-renowned and has been chosen for use at many prestigious events, and has been sampled with care for this digital piano. You'll create precisely the same resonant bass to boom across venues and exquisite high notes to dazzle an audience. As well as this powerful piano sound, the YDP S34 digital piano caters for other playing styles. With a mellow piano voice and a brighter, jazzier one too, you can really make this piano work for any genre.

Authentic piano details

This piano both feels and sounds authentic. The weighting of the graded hammer standard keyboard offers greater resistance on the lower notes, just like an acoustic. This means you'll never be taken by surprise when you play a different piano. Also just like an acoustic, the sampling for this instrument went so far as to include the subtle change in sound that comes when you lift your fingers off the keys. These key-off samples will give you those natural touches, especially because they vary based on whether you play staccato or legato. Another detailed touch is the string resonances. On an acoustic, other strings resonate in sympathy with the ones you play, and this is faithfully recreated here.

The latest technology for playing experience

Yamaha's in-depth musical knowledge lets them refine technology for the optimum playing experience. They know that certain volume levels can be hard to hear, so their Intelligent Acoustic Control automatically adjusts the equalisation. Enjoy balanced piano tones at any volume. Even when it's only for you to hear, Yamaha's Stereo Optimiser gives you the grand experience. This is because it disperses the sound you get through your headphones, making it sound just like being sat in front of an acoustic piano.

External device connection

Who said pianos had to be traditional? The Smart Pianist app offers a range of features that places you in control. The app enables you to select instrument voices, adjust various settings, record your performance, and much more! You will find yourself making music faster with this app as it gives you the freedom to do it via your smart device.

Want to play along with your favourite songs? Now you can! Smart Pianist scans the audio songs loaded in your music library, analyses the chord progressions, and then displays them for you on the screen of your smart device. It's that simple. Play along as the chords scroll by, all the while hearing the song playback through your piano's speaker system. Loading MIDI songs into the app will also allow you to follow along with digital sheet music while you play. Please note: Smart Pianist functionality may vary dependent on the model of Yamaha piano used.
