Features
Hybrid Piano
Combining over one hundred years of superb piano craftsmanship with the latest advanced technolo-
gies, Yamaha is proud to introduce a true hybrid acoustic/digital piano that meets the demands of con-
temporary musicians.
Authentic Acoustic Piano Touch with Special Grand Piano Action and Piano Keyboard
This innovative keyboard delivers the rich expressive quality of an acoustic grand piano, thanks to its finely
nuanced touch and exceptional response. Drawing on over one hundred years of expertise in crafting grand
pianos, Yamaha has created a unique and yet wholly traditional piano action mechanism for the AvantGrand.
The AvantGrand offers a special action that features the same configuration as the action of an acoustic grand
piano. The movement of the hammers and the weight distribution of each hammer have been meticulously
adjusted to give this instrument an exceptionally smooth feel. The keyboard also features real-wood keys, just
as on a real grand piano, letting you enjoy an authentic touch and feel that goes far beyond any existing digital
piano.
The Realistic Ambience of Grand Piano Voice
The AvantGrand features Yamaha's original "Spatial Acoustic Sampling" tone-generation sampling technol-
ogy for the grand piano voices. The voices are sampled from four positions around a grand piano, not only
from the left and right (as on most digital pianos), but also from the center and rear.
The instrument also utilizes the "Spatial Acoustic Speaker System," in which each speaker is equipped with
its own dedicated amplifier. This is essential for preserving the sonic integrity of each frequency range and
making sure that the nuances of each sound are reproduced naturally with absolute clarity.
These technologies provide rich resonance and sonic power heretofore only available on an actual grand
piano.
Best Condition without Tuning
Unlike acoustic pianos, the AvantGrand does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune even after
long-time use.
Flexible Volume Control
The AvantGrand gives you full control over the instrument volume, letting you adjust the level just as desired.
Also, you can play or listen in total privacy through one or two pairs of headphones.
