The Disklavier is a multi use instrument designed for the whole family to enjoy. Whether you are entertaining guests, having a nice dinner with the family, or just by yourself reading a good book, the Disklavier option adds an element of enjoyment, luxury and sophistication to your world class Yamaha grand piano.

Control the piano from multiple smart devices from anywhere in the room. Seamless compatibility with mobile devices, smartphones and computers allows intuitive access to all of the instrument’s exclusive content and unique capabilities.

It’s always easier and more inspiring to tackle a piece of music when you know what’s it’s supposed to sound like. With the Disklavier not only can you hear a song played perfectly, you can watch the piano play it for you. To get you started, the Disklavier comes with a sheet music book of 50 classic piano pieces with all of the songs built right into the Ipad app for instant playback!

This is the feature that makes this piano so different from other grand pianos. When you plug in a nice pair of studio headphones, the silent mode stops the hammer from striking the string and allows the player to practice in complete silence. With each key you press, you are hearing a CFX 9′ concert grand sample coming through the headphones in high definition.

It’s a bit shocking when you first play it because it sounds like you are performing your piece in a concert hall. Most digital pianos have this feature but the difference with the Disklavier is that you get to perfect your touch and technique on a high end acoustic grand action and not a simulated action.

On your Ipad, you simply press the record button, start playing, and the Disklavier fiber optic sensors will record every keystroke perfectly. Even when you think you have a song perfected, hearing your own song played back for you is like hearing your voice on tape, you can really hear all of the flaws and figure out how to play the song better.

Once you make that perfect recording, you can export it on a thumb drive and email it to friends and family. This is a cool feature if you are writing your own music, perfecting a piece of music, or want to share your child’s recital piece. I recommend keeping copies of all you child’s recital songs so you can go back and listen to their progress over the years.

Older systems had unsightly boxes hanging from the front. Since it’s wireless, all the electronics are hidden from sight.

Most player piano systems require the installer to cut holes in the keybed to install solenoids after the piano is already on the showroom floor or in your house. The Disklavier acoustic grand piano not only offers more features and a bigger library of music, it is designed from the ground up to be a player piano and all of the technology is integrated into the piano during production making it the most seamless and sophisticated reproducing piano on the market.
