Play Grand for Less
People are more and more inclined to opt for electronic pianos these days. They have gained so much popularity with each day that passes because of their portability and manageability to handle. Among the many electronic piano brands and models in the market, Yamaha Piano Keyboards have been the number one bestseller and have held that position for quite some time now.
The Yamaha range of models is so vast that it kind of gets difficult at times to decide which model to choose. So far, two models have been hugging the market recently: that which features 61 keys and the other, 88 keys.
The 61-key models also features headphone jack, tonal volume and controls such as bass, treble, tremolo, decay, pitch, etc. All these features add up to quality sound that feels like playing an acoustic piano. The electric pianos in this range are velocity or touch sensitive. Its very portability and rugged projection offers a blend of good looks and functionality incorporated with sound variety, expression and touch. The features are simple to manipulate and user friendly so that with you can choose with real ease to shift or flit between different color sounds on the very same keyboard. You also get value for your money with such features as a graded keyboard feel, dual voice mode, onboard MIDI sequencer, 64-note polyphony, rendering a crisp dynamic electric sound with an acoustic feel. This 89-pound model also comes with such added freebies as sustain pedal and a travel case.
On the other hand, the new Yamaha P85 digital piano has an authentic, natural sound with incredible expressiveness and the famous Yamaha quality in compact, affordable piano. The 88-key P85 model gives you all the dynamic, high quality sound and natural piano response you expect from Yamaha. It also features high quality built-in speaker system, packed into a slim, extraordinarily affordable digital piano you can play practically anywhere. There are no compromises, only full top quality.
The gorgeous sound that you get from P85 features meticulous digital sampling of a full concert grand piano that transforms in tone and volume, depending on how you play. This is because of the sophisticated Yamaha AWM Stereo Sampling feature. You can fully enjoy genuine, naturally expressive key touch modeled after an actual acoustic piano, starting from the low notes to the high, with the Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard. It’s like having a piano without the piano cost.
The attractive, slim, lightweight design of the instrument virtually suits any room décor or interior design, while the built-in speaker fills the area with sound that encourages a certain mood and ambience.
This versatile Yamaha Piano Keyboard also gives you an assortment of other quality instrument Voices, apart from the electric piano sound, including organs, string and harpsichord, harp, flute, among others; plus a Dual Voice feature for playing two voices in one. And the other great thing is you can capture your own performance with the song recording feature, which you can then play back for critiquing or for remixing/re-recording with accompaniment. It’s even complete with a built-in metronome for practicing and recording in perfect time.
Some of the optional features that you may want to get for added features are the Matching Stand that provides stylish appearance as well as stability and optimum sound projection for the instrument; the Expressive Half Pedal Control that gives you a greater acoustic-like feel and expressive control over the sound (optional FC3 Foot Controller); and the Three-Pedal Unit or LP-5, which gives the same kind of comprehensive sustain, sostenuto and soft control found only in grand pianos. Among the accessories included are the Music Rest, and AC Power Adapter.
So why is everyone so agog with Yamaha Piano Keyboards that they have become this popular? Now you know the answer.
