All seriesYamaha P Series Digital Pianos
Yamaha's P Series is the portable home-practice line: compact 88-key models that prioritize simple setup, familiar Yamaha piano tone, and enough weight for lessons without a cabinet.
Yamaha Arius YDP Series
Arius YDP is Yamaha's fixed-cabinet home line below Clavinova. It is about a stable furniture setup, three pedals, and a piano-first experience for lessons.
Yamaha Clavinova CLP Series
Clavinova CLP is Yamaha's higher home-piano line, aimed at players who want stronger key action, richer speakers, and a more acoustic-like cabinet experience.
