Last updated on May 25th, 2021 at 0251 pm Pros Compact & Sleek Yamaha CFX Sound Engine Powerful Speakers Cons Heavy Key Action Limited Sound Selection No Bluetooth Not long ago, I did a review on the new Yamaha YDP-164. It turns out to be a pretty solid digital piano. But if you are interested in the YDP-164, you definitely shouldnât overlook the YDP-S54. It is identical to the 164 but with a contemporary design. For about $100 less, you get a better looking YDP-164. In this Yamaha YDP-S54 review, letâs take a detailed look at this futuristic instrument. DESIGN The Look The one difference between the YDP-S54 and the YDP-164 is the look. While the YDP-164 has a relatively more traditional look of an upright piano, the YDP-S54 has an entirely different approach of design. The Yamaha YDP-S54 is still considered a console type digital piano. But it is compact and looks contemporary. There is no lifted cabinet or a standing music rest. The piano has a completely flat surface when not in use. The key cover is a folding style one just like what you would find on an acoustic upright piano. It does have the soft-close feature that prevents the cover from slamming on the keyboards. The side panels of the stand are also different from other models. They are solid panels with full width of the side of the instrument. The flat top and the solid side panels create a compact and modern aura to the piano. It looks really stylish, I must say. I feel the YDP-S54 would fit in any home decor style. Whether you have a more traditional looking room or an extreme version of minimalism, the YDP-S54 would be a nice addition. There are two finishes you can choose for the YDP-S54, the Black Walnut and the White Satin. They both have simulated wooden texture on the surface. Music Rest Like a traditional upright acoustic piano, the music rest on the YDP-S54 is hidden inside the key cover. Once raised, you can flip down the panel and rest your sheet music on it. The benefit of this kind of music rest is that itâs usually very wide and tall, which means you can display several pages at once if you print your sheet music on A4 papers. Itâs also nice to see that Yamaha has added some page holder mechanism on the front end of the music rest. This works well to prevent pages from sliding down the rest. Overall, I enjoy using this type of music rest much more than the more common stand-alone music rest. When I put down the key cover, the rest is entirely hidden and when I put it into use, there are more than enough place to display as many pages as I want. Control The controls on the YDP-S54 is identical to the control panel on the YDP-164. It is split into two parts. On the right side of the keyboard, you would find the power button and the volume knob. On the left side, there is a single line of 7 buttons consisting of the most used functions and settings. Four of the seven buttons also has LED indicators. I find it to be a good selection of most-used functions. To access more advanced features and settings, it requires a combination of buttons and piano keys. Alternatively you can use the Smart Pianist app on your iOS device to tweak and customise the Yamaha YDP-S34. Keys The Yamaha YDP-S54 has a complete 88 piano keyboard. The keys are plastic but they do have synthetic Ivory keytops for the white keys and synthetic Ebony for the black ones. Being a digital piano from Yamaha, the keys appear to be well built and evenly spaced. Iâm happy to see that Yamaha has kept the red velvet at the deep end of the keyboard. I think it adds a nice accent and a touch of tradition to this otherwise futuristic instrument. Size & Weight Being compact is the selling point of the YDP-S54. It is very slim, so much so that you can even place it in the hallway and you will be able to play it comfortably. The Yamaha YDP-S34 weighs around 40 kg 88 lbs. With the key cover closed, it has the dimensions of 135W x 30D x 79H cm 53âł x 11âł x 31âł. The key cover opens to an angel so that you can read the sheet music comfortably. This means that you need to leave a few centimeters about half an inch between the back end of the piano and the wall. KEY ACTION The Yamaha YDP-S54 uses the same key action on the YDP-164. It features the GH3 key action from Yamaha. This action sits around middle to low end of Yamahaâs technology. The GH3 key action uses actual hammers behind each key to simulate a more realistic feeling. The weight of the hammers are graded. As a result, the bass is heavier and the tremble is lighter, just like an acoustic piano. The 3 in the name of this key actions stands for triple sensor technology. There are three sensors in this key action. It ensures fast repetition and more accurate control of the keys. The synthetic Ivory/Ebony keytops not only adds realistic textures but also help with grip and moisture absorption during long playing sessions. One thing about the GH3 action is that it is definitely on the heavy side. The forces needed to press the keys down are significantly more compares to key actions from competing brands. This is generally a bad thing unless you are specifically looking for some heavy action to build up your finger strength. Overall, the key action on the YDP-S54 is quiet, smooth and expressive. SOUND Consistent to other models in the Arius line, the Yamaha YDP-S54 features the CFX sound engine. It samples Yamahaâs flagship 9 foot concert grand piano CFX. The result is a truly pleasant experience to the ear. The CFX sound engine also features Damper resonance, String resonance as well as key-off samples. These are important nuances to create an authentic sound of an acoustic piano. Just like the YDP-164, the YDP-S54 features two 20 watt speakers. They are significantly more powerful than the two 8 watt on its little brother the YDP-S34. It is almost on bar with the flagship Arius the YDP-184, which rocks two 30 watt speakers. The piano sounds loud and clear through the speakers. I would say the volume is almost close to an acoustic upright piano. FEATURES Consistent to the YDP-164 and the YDP-144, the Yamaha YDP-S54 is not packed with features. The sound selection is limited and it doesnât have Bluetooth for easy connectivity. Yamaha makes a big selling point of its Smart Pianist app on iOS devices. And yet, to utilize that on the YDP-S54, you would need an USB cable and a dongle to connect your smart device. Not the best solution in 2019! Hereâs a list of features on the brand new Yamaha YDP-S54 Sound Grand pianos x 3 Electric pianos x 2 Organs x 2 Harpsichords Strings Vibraphone Polyphony 192 Key sensitivity Fixed turns off key sensitivity Soft Medium default Hard Reverb settings each with 20 levels Recital Hall Concert Hall Chamber Club Modes Dual mode two instrument sound simultaneously Duo mode split the keyboard to identical halfs Recording 1 song with 2 tracks 10 Demo songs and 50 piano songs Headphone jack x 2 USB to Host port ACCESSORIES Being a console style digital piano, the Yamaha YDP-S54 comes with three piano pedals. They are identical to the pedals you would find on an acoustic piano. They are the damper/sustain, sostenuto, and soft pedal. The pedals support half pedaling, which is an important feature for many classical pieces. The pedal unit is similar to the one on the YDP-S34. They do not respond very well and they feel a little bit clumsy. They are also significantly noisier than the pedal unit on the YDP-164. Depends on the bundle you choose, it might also comes with a Yamaha branded bench. This however is not a very good bench. Itâs not height adjustable and is not the most comfortable bench Iâve used. As with any digital piano, a good pair of headphones is always recommended. Thanks for its powerful speaker system, you donât need external monitor/speaker to fully enjoy the Yamaha CFX sound engine. To utilize the Smart Pianist, you will need an iOS device and an USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter as well as a USB AB cable. The app currently does not support Android devices. For details about connecting to your iOS device, refer to this manual from Yamaha. WHO ITâS FOR The Yamaha YDP-S54 is best suited for beginners and intermediate players. You can also use it as a secondary piano for home practice. The compact size and the contemporary look make it an ideal instrument for that. CONCLUSION The beautiful YDP-S54 is not exactly cheap. You do pay a premium for the Yamaha brand. It has great sound engine and a powerful speaker system. The key action is the same as the flagship YDP-184. Unfortunately, the YDP-S54 lacks many important features, especially if you compare it to other models on the market. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY OTHER OPTIONS Yamaha YDP-S54 vs. Yamaha YDP-164 These two instruments are identical in many ways. The only major difference is the look. While the YDP-S54 is compact and futuristic, the YDP-164 is a more traditional looking digital piano. Being $100 cheaper, the YDP-S54 would be my choice since it would fit and look better in a home setting. For more details about the Yamaha YDP-164, click here for my full review. Yamaha YDP-S54 vs. Roland F-140r The F-140r from Roland is another compact and sleek looking digital piano. It is about $150 cheaper than the YDP-S54. The key cover of the F-140r has a different mechanism. It slides open with the cover folding into half. When closed, it has the same flat surface just like the S54. The Roland F-140r features an advanced key action, the PHA-4. It also has synthetic Ivory keytops but with simulated let-off effect. Even though Iâm not a big fan of the simulated let-off, the PHA-4 is much lighter to the touch. I would say the playing experience on both instrument has their own pros and cons. The F-140r also wins on features. It has Bluetooth, more than 300 voices, a USB to device port and a lot more internal recording capability. There are two 12 watt speakers on the F-140r compared to the two 20 watt on the YDP-S54. Overall, the Roland F-140r has the same compact and sleek look, more features but a weaker speaker system. In my opinion, neither is perfect but the Roland F-140r is definitely a worthy competitor to the S54. Unless you have your mind set on Yamaha, you should not overlook this popular model from Roland. For more details about the Roland F-140R, click here for my full review. Yamaha YDP-S54 vs. Kawai KDP 110 Kawai is famous for the authentic key actions on its digital pianos. The RHCII action on the Kawai KDP 110 is simply the best key action I have tried in its price range and in some cases beyond. This is one of those cases. Even though the Kawai is around $150 cheaper, the keys feel more authentic to my touch and I enjoy playing on it more than the YDP-164. It doesnât have that struggle of heaviness. The sound of these two models are also very different. While the Yamaha is more bright, the Kawai sounds mellower. The Kawai however does have another advantage here. Each note on the KDP 110 is individually sampled. They both have the same powerful speaker system and they both sound amazing with headphones. To top it off, the Kawai has Bluetooth for easy connectivity with smart devices. Personally, I would recommend the Kawai KDP 110 for the more authentic key action, extra features and its cheaper price. The Kawai KDP 110 however has a more traditional look more like the YDP-164.

Whencornering or making sharp turns, a faulty wheel hub assembly can cause clicking, popping or snapping noises. While accelerating, a defective WHA can also produce knocking or clunking sounds in the CV-joints or U-joints. And, with a failing WHA, severe looseness related to a bearing can create an abnormal side pull when you apply the brakes. Yamaha is known for producing high quality digital pianos, and the YDP-S54 is one of the next digital pianos in line to continue to live up to that lofty expectation. Succeeding the popular YDP-S52, the Yamaha YDP-S54 is from Yamahaâs Arius line of pianosâones that entry level digital piano players can enjoy, but robust enough that one with intermediate playing skills can enjoy longterm. But does the YDP-S54 live up to the hype? And how does it compare to its predecessor, the YDP-S52? Well, in our Yamaha YDP-S54 review, Iâm going to help answer some of these questions for you, as we really breakdown all of the unique features that make the S54 special and help you determine if itâs worth your hard-earned money. And, to better help you, we encourage you to take a look at the interactive guide below, which allows you to directly compare the YDP-S54 to other notable digital pianos on the market. PhotoModel Yamaha YDP-145 Yamaha YDP-165 Casio PX-870 Casio AP-470 Yamaha YDP-184 A Beautiful, Slim Design I think one of the first things I immediately enjoy about the Yamaha YDP-S54 is its aesthetic. Of course, looks only matter so much when it comes to an instrument itâs really moreso about how it feels in your hands and sounds to your ears. But in truth, I think whatâs so impressive about the Yamaha YDP-S54 is that its appearance isnât just aesthetically pleasing, its intentionally made to be highly functional within your living space. With the YDP-S54, Yamaha has crafted a more compact and overall quite slim digital piano. I took a quick peek at the size differences between this digital piano and the handful of others from the same Yamaha Arius line, as was quite surprised in a good way at how the YDP-S54 manages to stand out by being noticeably smaller. The YDP-S54 is 53-1/4â wide, 31-3/16â high although that does jump up to 38â when the key cover is open, and just over 12â deep. Comparatively, the Yamaha Arius YDP-164 is about two inches taller and four inches deeper. The measurements are even more exaggerated when we move up to the Yamaha Arius YDP-184, which is four inches wider, four inches taller, and a whopping six inches deeper than the S54. A smaller size also means a lighter instrument. The YDP-S54 clocks in at about 83 lbs., while the YDP-184 is approximately 123 lbs. So, as you can see, Yamaha really wanted the YDP-S54 to be much more form fitting in your space. Knowing that buyers enjoy what the Arius line offers them as a pianist, but donât necessarily have unlimited space in their home for a shiny new digital piano, the more compact YDP-S54 is not only a welcome change, but an important one. Because now, you should have far less of a problem fitting the S54 into a childâs smaller bedroom or study area or even a bedroom compared to other models in the Arius line. Below, please take a moment to view some of the best-selling digital pianos online, and then see how well they stack up to the Yamaha YDP-S54. BEST SELLERS 1 Casio PX-770 2 Yamaha YDP-145 3 Roland RP-701 4 Yamaha YDP-165 5 Casio PX-870 The Sounds of the Yamaha YDP-S54 The YDP-S54 only comes with 10 voices, but as the old saying goes âquality over quantityâ is what matters most. And when it comes to the piano voices, you definitely get to enjoy three quality sounds. The Yamaha YDP-S52 used Yamahaâs Pure CF Sound engine. This is improved upon on the S54, as youâll be able to enjoy the piano samples of the Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano. On top of that, you also get a Mellow Grand Piano voice, which is virtually perfect for classical music. And then the last grand piano sound you get is a Bright Piano sound, which sounds very jazz-inspired. Beyond the piano voices, you get a lot of what youâd expect. Youâll be able to enjoy Vibraphone, Harpsichord, Strings, Classical Organ, and even a DX Electric Piano. I think this particular sound is great to have, especially if you admired a lot of R&B ballads from the 1980s. The DX Electric Piano sound always reminds me of certain songs an artist like Luther Vandross wouldâve produced back in the day. Pedals and Amplification The YDP-S54 comes with three pedalsâthe Sustain, the Soft Pedal, and the Sostenuto pedal. Of course, whatâs quite nice about the YDP-S54 is that it offers you Half Damper pedal. What this means is that youâll be able to press down on the pedal halfway, and doing so with provide you with a shorter sustain length. The speaker system on this piano is quite good too, given its overall size and price point. You have two speakers at 20 watts each, providing you with a total of 40 watts of power. This is a significant jump up from, say, the Yamaha YDP-144, which only features 8 watts per speaker, or a total of 16 watts of power. In terms of speakers and amplification, whatâs on the YDP-S54 is the same as what youâd get on the YDP-164. You have to go all the way up to the YDP-184 to see an improvement in the sound and power department over the YDP-S54, as the Yamaha YDP-184 features 30 watts per speakers or 60 watts of power overall. On top of that, unlike the YDP-144, YDP-S54, and YDP-164, the YDP-184 features speakers that are a bit bigger in size 16cm per speaker compared to just 12cm per speaker on the three aforementioned pianos. The Yamaha YDP-S54 and the Smart Pianist App The YDP-S54, like a lot of these newer pianos in the Arius line, allows you to use the Smart Pianist app, where you can control almost all of the functions and settings of the piano within the app on your iPhone or iPad. What I like about this app is that, considering the digital piano doesnât come with a large LCD screen, the app allows you to get visual confirmation for everything you do and select within the piano. If youâre looking to change voices, thereâs an image of the instrument youâd like to select, and doing so is as easy as a push on the button. Comparatively, if you wanted to do something as simple as changing the voice on the piano without the use of the app, youâd have to likely hold down the Voice button, and simultaneously press a key a key that would be indicative of the voice you wanted to use in the second octave. Can you do it that way? Sure. You can get used to doing it that way. But is it much easier to just use the app? Absolutely. The app does more than just let you select voices, however. You can also record the songs you create, split the keyword, layer two songs on top of one another, save your pianoâs overall settings/configurations and much more. If youâre a beginner, youâre likely going to want to really utilize the split and recording feature. First, splitting the keyboard is always helpful because youâre able to play a piece with your left hand, and then try and play that same piece with your right. It really helps teach you exactly what your hands need to do, and why, when playing the piano. Well now, through the app, you can not only split the keyboard, but record what you play as well. So now, you can play a piece with your left hand and record it. Then, play that piece back and begin practicing with your right hand, using the recording as a guide or reference. Of course, if rhythm or tempo is a concern, thereâs a built in metronome at your disposal on the YDP-S54 as well. One last thing thatâs probably worth mentioning is the lid. The key lid on the YDP-S54 is reminiscent of what you might see in some modern day cabinetsâall aimed to protect your fingers and lessen harsh slamming noises. Because with the YDP-S54, when you go to close the lid over the keys, thereâs now a built in mechanism that makes the lid close at a slow and even pace. So, no matter how fast you try to go to close the lidâbe it on purpose or by accidentâthe lid is just going to slowly ease down over the keys. Yamaha YDP-S52 vs Yamaha YDP-S54 Finding the best Yamaha digital piano in 2019 and beyond isnât easy. But if youâre interested in the YDP-S54, or perhaps you currently own or have once played the YDP-S52, now is as good a time as any to compare these two digital pianos with one another. So letâs take a bit of time to talk about the differences between the Yamaha YDP-S52 and the YDP-S54. I think the biggest differences lie in the grand piano sound in the S54, as well as the key action used in the S54 compared to the YDP-S52. Now in the YDP-S52, you get the Yamaha Graded Hammer key action, but in the YDP-S54, you get Graded Hammer Effect action, or GH3. These actions are no doubt very similar, but the Graded Hammer Effect action swings the action back a bit faster than the Graded Hammer action, which is meant to further replicate an acoustic piano. You also get synthetic ivory keytops with the S54. The white keys are also quite grippy, which is particularly great because it helps prevent your fingers from sliding off of the keys. The second thing thatâs different deals with the sound. The YDP-S52 features the Yamaha CF Grand Piano sound, while the S54 uses the Yamaha CFX Grand Piano sound. The CFX Piano sounds much more expressive and bold than the CF, and thereâs a good chance that if youâve heard the CF Piano sound previously, that youâll be able to hear the rich difference in tone. Conclusion Overall, the Yamaha YDP-S54 is a very good digital piano. Itâs an affordable entry-level digital piano in the Arius line that offers a slim design, a few great learning tools, and compatibility with the Smart Pianist app. Itâs not the absolute best digital piano in the Arius lineup youâll probably want to look at the YDP-184 for that prize but itâs worthy of your consideration and will likely make a great addition to your home.
