Acoustic Piano Feel That Builds Confidence
Yamaha’s Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard offers 88 fully weighted keys that replicate the feel of an acoustic grand piano. Heavier in the bass and lighter in the treble, this touch encourages proper technique and expressive control from the first note.
The YDP-105 features three pedals—soft (una corda), sostenuto, and damper. The half-damper control on the damper pedal allows for a nuanced sustain just like a traditional acoustic piano.
Inspiring Sound That Grows with You
The YDP-105 features Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) stereo sampling, a technology that captures the depth and detail of a Yamaha concert grand piano. The result? A lush, dynamic tone that feels alive—powerful in the bass, clear in the treble, and inspiring across all octaves.
Built-in stereo amplifier (6 W x 2) and built-in stereo speaker system (12 cm x 2) help project this sound with clarity and warmth, making both practice and performance feel immersive. And with 10 instrument voices, including electric pianos, strings, organ, and vibraphone, the YDP-105 offers the variety needed to stay musically curious.

Seamless Integration with the Smart Pianist App
The YDP-105 works effortlessly with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, turning your smart device into a powerful controller and educational tool. Simply connect your phone or tablet via USB (with the correct adapter) and you’ll gain access to:
- Voice selection and setting adjustments
- Digital sheet music for built-in classical pieces
- A “Piano Room” where you can fine-tune the piano’s tone and resonance
- Easy-to-use recording and playback tools to track your progress
This intuitive interface is especially helpful for beginners and students, allowing more time for actual playing and less time navigating buttons or menus.
Ideal for Families, Students, and Shared Learning
Practicing solo or playing alongside a teacher or partner? The YDP-105 is equipped with smart features to support learning:
- Dual Headphone Jacks: Practice quietly while allowing another person to listen in—perfect for lessons or duet work.
- Duo Mode: Splits the keyboard into two equal pitch ranges, allowing side-by-side playing in the same octave.
- Volume Limiter: Protects your hearing during long sessions with headphones or speakers by setting a maximum volume level.
These thoughtful additions make it a good choice for young students, late-night players, and multi-user households.
Form Meets Function: A Beautiful Addition to Any Room
The YDP-105 doesn’t just sound great—it looks great, too. With elegant curves and a timeless, minimal design, this model fits seamlessly into a living room, music nook, or studio setup. Black and rosewood finishes are available to suit different home interiors and personal tastes.
