It's the Yamaha Silent Piano...the U1SG!

Yamaha Corporation of America, Piano Division, has reintroduced its Silent Pianos with the launch of a new 48-in. upright model, a versatile instrument that enables users to choose between acoustic and digital performance modes. The new Silent Piano is highlighted by updates including an improved grand piano sample for powerful digital performances, and audio outputs that enable playing through a sound reinforcement system, as well as a host of additional features such as integrated recording and MIDI capabilities, an expanded selection of voices with new sound customization options, and 50 built-in songs.

The 48-in. Upright Silent Piano combines a hammer restraint mechanism with optical fiber sensors and digital tone generation. Shifting the center pedal will stop the hammers from striking the strings, silencing the piano's acoustic sound, while the sensors and tone generator digitally produce an instrument sound of the user's choice.

Digital tone

Yamaha's stereo sampling from the CFIIIS concert grand, making for rich resonance and subtly accurate reproduction.

Voice

10 voices including harpsichord, pipe organ, and strings provide a wide range of musical expression.

Recording and playback functions are conveniently built in!

Memory

A USB port allows you to import MIDI data on portable USB memory devices.

50 well-known demo songs have been pre installed in the internal memory.

The world's first "hybrid" piano: The Yamaha Avant Grand

The AvantGrand piano simulates the sound of a conservatory grand piano while also giving you the touch and feel that until now was only found in an acoustic grand. The Avant, aimed toward professional pianists, saves space and money, but still provides everything a conservatory gives-minus the tunings!

"This piano is a miracle of technology and artistry," according to renowned French-Cypriot pianist and composer Cyprien Katsaris. "The action is remarkable and the sound simply wonderful! Both are very close to the acoustic piano. When I play this instrument I feel transported. I strongly recommend this instrument to all professional and amateur pianists."

"Even with our remarkable heritage and expertise of outstanding acoustic and digital piano craftsmanship, the creation of the AvantGrand called upon all that we at Yamaha knew how to accomplish,"says Mark Anderson, Yamaha Keyboard Division Marketing Director. "The AvantGrand is a crystallization of our hopes for the piano. As such, it defies categorization as a hybrid, digital or acoustic instrument."
