Avantgrand Hybrid

Artists like Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Norah Jones, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Chick Corea exclusively perform and record on Yamaha grand pianos. Partly because the action of a Yamaha grand is so consistent, so lightening fast, so responsive that it does most of the work for you. The concept of a hybrid is simple, they took the acoustic action that made their grand pianos famous, and installed it in a deep upright cabinet without strings. Instead of strings and a soundboard, the sound you hear is a 9’ Yamaha CFX grand (A $200,000 instrument) coming through an incredibly powerful sound system. This allows you to control the volume, play silently through headphones and gives you a pure sound that never needs to be tuned. The upside of a hybrid is that it offers the best of both worlds in an instrument that’s only a fraction of the size and cost of a grand piano. The feel of the N1X is 100% acoustic. The sound is 100% concert grand. Most people are shocked when they play their first notes on the N1X. It’s. That. Good.
