Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • The CFX Premium Grand Piano Voice precisely recreates the powerful and rich tone of Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano.
  • GHS weighted action keys mimic an acoustic piano by being heavier in the low register and lighter in the high register.
  • Three piano-style pedals provide authentic sustain, sostenuto, and soft pedal performance for expressive playing.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) allows for vividly varied expression, reflecting the complex factors of a concert grand's sound.
  • The Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts headphone sound to create the sensation that audio is emanating directly from the piano.

👎 Cons

  • The slim design of the YDP-S35 may offer fewer physical controls or larger speakers compared to bulkier console pianos.
  • Reliance on digital sound recreation means it cannot fully replicate the physical vibrations or nuanced acoustic presence of a true grand piano.
  • Advanced players accustomed to specific acoustic grand piano key surfaces may find the GHS weighted action less nuanced than higher-end digital piano actions.
  • While VRM is included, its "Lite" version in some models may not offer the full depth of resonance modeling found in more premium Yamaha instruments.
  • The focus on piano voices and features means it may not offer as wide a variety of non-piano instrument sounds as some other digital pianos.
