Yamaha YDP-S35 Digital Piano: Experience a concert grand at home with the Yamaha YDP-S35. This compact and contemporary piano brings you the renowned CFX concert grand piano sound.

The touch-sensitive keys mimic a traditional piano, while the advanced acoustic simulation technology (VRM Lite) reproduces the natural resonance of an acoustic piano. With the Smart Pianist app, easily navigate settings, and enjoy focused play with the headphone-exclusive optimization feature.

Furnished with ample sound variety and memory, the YDP-S35 stands as the ideal instrument for both learning and artistic expression.

Key Features
  • Does this sound as good as expensive digital pianos? Yes—it uses the same CFX concert grand sampling found in Yamaha's premium Clavinova series, just in a more compact cabinet.
  • Will the keys help me build proper piano technique? The GHS weighted keyboard has heavier bass keys and lighter treble keys, exactly like an acoustic piano, teaching your fingers correct touch from day one.
  • Can I practice late at night without disturbing anyone? Dual headphone jacks let you practice in complete silence, with Stereophonic Optimizer technology that makes headphones sound natural and spacious.
  • Will this fit in a small apartment or bedroom? At under 12 inches deep, the slim cabinet takes up half the floor space of traditional digital pianos and far less than any acoustic.
  • Does it include all three piano pedals? Yes—soft, sostenuto, and sustain pedals are all built in with half-damper control, not sold separately like many entry-level models.
  • Can I learn songs with this piano? The free Smart Pianist app provides 353 built-in songs with scrolling sheet music, plus chord analysis for songs in your music library.
  • Is this just a piano sound or can it do other instruments? 10 built-in voices including electric piano, strings, and organ, with Dual Voice Mode to layer two sounds simultaneously for creative performances.
  • Can I record my practice sessions? Built-in two-track recorder lets you capture performances or practice hands separately, with instant playback to review your progress.
  • Do the keys feel slippery during long practice? Matte black keytops absorb moisture for better grip, preventing the slippery feel of glossy plastic keys when your hands sweat.
  • Does it sound realistic through headphones? VRM Lite technology simulates the natural string resonance and harmonic complexity of an acoustic grand, creating depth even in headphone practice.

Yamaha Quality at an Apartment-Friendly Price

See Why the Arius YDP-S35 Is the Smart Choice for Tight Spaces

Yamaha CFX Sampling in Your Living Room

Get Concert Grand Sound Without the Concert Grand Price

The CFX is Yamaha's flagship nine-foot concert grand—the same piano used at Carnegie Hall and major competitions worldwide. Recording each note cost Yamaha thousands of dollars in studio time. You get all of it for a fraction of what entry-level digitals used to offer. Sparkling highs, rich bass, and expressive midrange that responds to your touch. This is the sound serious pianists practice with, now accessible in a slim cabinet that fits anywhere.

Under 12 Inches Deep—Fits Where Acoustics Cannot

Finally, a Real Piano That Fits in Small Spaces

Acoustic pianos need 24+ inches of floor space. The YDP-S35 needs less than 12 inches. Slide it against any wall, tuck it in a bedroom corner, or place it in a studio apartment without sacrificing your entire living area. The closed lid creates a clean, flat surface that blends into modern interiors. When space is premium and rent is high, every inch matters. This piano was designed for real-world living.

Weighted Keys That Teach Your Fingers Correctly

Build Proper Technique from Day One

The Graded Hammer Standard keyboard gives you heavier resistance in the bass and lighter touch in the treble—exactly like a real acoustic piano. This is not adjustable sensitivity or spring-loaded keys. This is actual graded weighting that builds proper finger strength and technique. Start on this, and when you sit down at a teacher's grand piano or a recital stage, your fingers will already know what to do. Cheap keyboards with unweighted keys teach bad habits. This teaches you right.

String Vibration Modeling, Not Just Samples

Hear the Resonance a Real Piano Creates

When you play a chord on an acoustic grand, the strings you did not strike still vibrate in sympathy. Press the sustain pedal and the entire soundboard comes alive with harmonic complexity. Virtual Resonance Modeling Lite simulates exactly that—the natural interaction between 88 strings, the soundboard, and the rim. You hear depth and richness that pure sampling cannot capture. Even through headphones, the sound feels three-dimensional and alive, not flat and digital.

Soft, Sostenuto, and Sustain—All Included

Three Real Pedals, Not Cheap Add-Ons

Many entry-level digitals include one sustain pedal or make you buy the rest separately. The YDP-S35 includes all three pedals built into the cabinet: soft pedal for quiet passages, sostenuto for holding specific notes, and sustain with half-damper control for expressive phrasing. These are not buttons or switches—they are actual pedals with the resistance and response of an acoustic. You need all three to play classical repertoire correctly. You get all three from day one.

Two Headphone Jacks for Silent Practice or Lessons

Practice Anytime Without Annoying Roommates or Neighbors

Thin apartment walls and late-night practice do not mix. Plug in headphones and play at 2 AM without guilt. The dual headphone jacks let you and a teacher listen simultaneously during lessons, or let two students practice duets in complete silence. The Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts the sound so headphones do not feel like playing inside your skull—you get natural spatial width like sitting at an acoustic. Practice whenever inspiration strikes, not just when the neighbors tolerate it.

Free App with Sheet Music, Lessons, and Sound Control

Your Phone Becomes Your Piano Teacher

Connect your phone or tablet via USB and open Yamaha's free Smart Pianist app. Instantly access 353 built-in songs with sheet music that scrolls as you play. Adjust voices, record performances, and change settings without memorizing button combinations. The app analyzes popular songs in your music library and generates chord charts so you can learn to play your favorite tracks. It is like having a teacher, sheet music library, and recording studio in your pocket—all at no extra cost.

10 Instrument Voices You Can Mix and Match

Layer Sounds for Richer Performances

The YDP-S35 includes 10 voices: piano, electric piano, harpsichord, organ, strings, and more. Dual Voice Mode lets you layer two sounds simultaneously—piano with strings for lush ballads, or electric piano with pad for ambient soundscapes. One press switches from practicing classical études to composing modern tracks. You are not locked into one sound forever. As your interests evolve, the piano evolves with you.

Built-In Recorder Tracks Left and Right Hands Separately

Record Yourself to Actually Hear Your Progress

You think you played that passage cleanly until you record it and hear the truth. The built-in two-track recorder lets you record your right hand, then overdub your left hand, or capture full performances to review later. No need for external equipment or software—just press record and play. Listen back to identify mistakes you did not notice in real time. Share recordings with your teacher between lessons. Document your progress over months and years. Improvement is easier when you can measure it.

Matte Black Keytops Absorb Moisture for Better Grip

Keys That Feel Natural, Not Slippery

Glossy plastic keys get slippery when your fingers sweat during long practice sessions. The YDP-S35 uses matte black keytops on the naturals that absorb moisture and provide better grip—similar to the texture of real ebony and ivory keys on acoustic grands. Your fingers stay in control during fast passages and intense practice. Small detail, huge difference in comfort and confidence.
