Four Yamaha Hybrid Pianos for your review: Front L AvantGrand & Yamaha C7S 7'6" Silent Grand

Second Row L Yamaha C2S 5'8" Silent Grand and Yamaha U1SG 48" vertical Silent Piano.

Dear FAME Piano participants,

 

Fred Myers is pleased to continue its provision of state of the art keyboard instruments to the 2010 FAME Music Festival at the Grand Wayne Center March 14 and 15. http://www.famearts.org/ 

We will be providing the number-one selling piano in the world to each of the performance stages, The Yamaha Clavinova CVP Digital Pianos. 

In the Grand Wayne Jefferson Hall, Piano students will be playing on the most advanced 21st Century hybrid piano, the Yamaha AvantGrand.  They will be at ease, because even with eyes closed they will feel, hear and totally sense the features of a fine acoustic grand piano.  See information and links below for full features. 

 This instrument does not compare to a Yamaha Clavinova.  The closest it compares to is a very fine acoustic Yamaha Grand piano that costs at least $10,000 more.  

This instrument is in our showroom side by side with the Yamaha CFIIIS 9' Concert Grand, C2S 5'8" Silent Grand which John Legend played in his February 25th Concert at Detroit Symphony Fisher Music Center, the 48" tall Yamaha U1SG Silent Piano and the Sold C7S 7'6" Silent Grand for IN Wesleyan University. 

This will provide a prime opportunity to play the AvantGrand along with other Yamaha hybrid-acoustic pianos and the Yamaha CFIIIS 9' Concert grand!  It will surely prove worth the visit to play these 21st Century instruments exclusively from Yamaha.

     The "Silent" Grands are the most popular grands seen on television broadcasts today due to their high quality performance capabilities as well as their technology capabilities that enable them to directly connect with sound systems, computers and other MIDI modules such as synthesizers.

On January 15, 2009 Yamaha unveiled its brand-new grand piano. It’s the first of its kind to accurately reproduce the acoustic grand piano particularly well.

The sound of his piano is remarkably the same as the concert grand piano yet at less than half the price. The price of a concert grand would run up to over $100,000 in contrast to the Avant-Grand which is priced at roughly $19,000. The Avant-Grand combines the technology of the 21st century fused with the craftsmanship and the art of the concert grand acoustic piano.

The piano itself is designed for the serious piano player in particular probably an advanced musician who is currently studying to become a concert pianist.

One of the challenges that Yamaha faced was to develop a process to accurately capture the vibration of the piano string which you would not normally find on keyboards that using current sampling technology. Yamaha’s technology breakthrough technology which gave it the ability to reproduce the vibration of strings was nothing less than spectacular.

This keyboard uses an innovative tactile response system which actually communicates the string vibrations to the player’s hands. Similarly, the response from the foot pedals provide pressure and sensation that is eerily similar to the pedals found on to end concert grands.

Yamaha has taken special care in placing speakers within the cabinet of the Avant-Grad piano to replicate the acoustical sound vibrations that emanate from a concert grand.

Yamaha had to use all of its resources, wisdom and years of craftsmanship to deploy and create the best it could in the Avant-Grand

The action on this keyboard is configured much like the action of an acoustic grand piano. The hammer’s striking action provides feedback to the pianist and that has been rendered to perfection and authenticity on the Avant-Grand
