Rating And Reviews: Yamaha Arius YDPS31 Piano

With its soft-shut key cover and uniquely slim profile, the depth of the YDP-S31's sound far exceeds its 11.8 inch deep frame.

Sound: Sounds is good, but it's not a real steinway grand. Feature: Features is kind of like the older model clainovas. This model includes enough for the digital piano to act like a piano, but not really a whole lot more. Get a synth if you want more. Ease of Use: AWESOMELY easy assembly! Other than that, use it like a regular piano. Quality: Yamaha Quality, hello? Near Perfect but not Steinway. Value: Best digital piano for under 1000 dollars. The Wow Factor: Sexy! By far the most sexy in its class. Overall: If you want to pay a thousand or less for a keyboard/piano without a lot of effects, then this is what you get.

Overall: If you're a pianist who doesn't need a lot of sounds, then this is the set up for you. The main "grand piano" sound sounds really nice with just a touch of reverb.. It's a very dark sounding classical/jazz sound. The second sound is brighter and sounds more like an upright which is nice for pop/country. All the other sounds are so so, not very pleasant to my ears. The strings are rather pleasant though. But if a multitude of great sounds is what you want then this is not the keyboard for you. Midi works great, but the response of the pedals are finicky. Granted, I was going into garageband. The sustain only worked when the pedal was all the way down. Whereas the direct output (1/4" headphone jack) actually payed more dynamic attention to how the pedals were pressed. Other than that it's quite nice.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
