Why own a grand piano if you can’t immerse yourself in it’s sound for fear of disturbing someone?
Anyone who loves to play will recognise this dilemma immediately, and will certainly have longed to be able to turn down the volume just to keep playing.
With the AvantGrand, now you can.
To enable you to play whenever you choose, without compromise, Yamaha adopted two ambitious goals in developing this hybrid instrument.
The first – to meticulously emulate the sound of the grand piano in all it’s glory; the second – to replicate the physical sensation of playing, so that even with the volume turned down, the instrument will not lose an ounce of expressive power. To achieve these goals, Yamaha have embarked upon an exhaustive program of inspecting and testing entire sound production processes, starting at the input stage – the keyboards and pedals – moving to the sampling process, and finally focusing on the speaker system,which delivers the finished sound.
Thanks to a specially designed grand-piano action and a wooden keyboard, the AvantGrand truly becomes an extension of your body as you play.
