HOME OF YAMAHA DISKLAVIER DIGITAL/ACOUSTIC PIANOS

They can reproduce not only “live” acoustic piano concerts, but instrumental ensemble music as well. They allow you to record and play back your OWN performance, create complex multi-track arrangements, and connect to the world of musical opportunities offered by MIDI devices, personal computers and the Internet. Their unique combination of acoustic excellence and digital versatility has made them an increasingly popular choice of pianists, educators and music-lovers worldwide.

Now, Yamaha Disklavier pianos play audio/MIDI CDs as well as floppy disks, making them superb, self-contained musical entertainment centers. They incorporate “Silent” technology, which enables you to instantly switch from acoustic to digital piano mode for low-volume speaker or headphone play. And now, “Smartkey” technology makes it easy, guiding you through songs note by note, while adding professional embellishment.
