Yamaha N1X AvantGrand Hybrid Digital Piano, Polished Ebony

Full Description

Grand piano key actions

Feel the difference with real, specialised grand piano action. Playing a concert grand is a unique experience that pianists aspire to and here you can have it every day. Yamaha have been crafting pianos for over a hundred years and apply this learning to this AvantGrand hybrid in its genuine wooden grand piano key actions. This means they can give you the same quick, responsive hammer movements that grand pianos are known for. A grand has much faster repetition of its keys than an upright piano, so watch as your music takes on a new life.

Unrivalled acoustic experience

Find authenticity in even the finest detail. Enjoy the enveloping sound of Yamaha's Virtual Resonance Modelling. This incredible technology faithfully recreates the complexity that comes when different piano strings ring in sympathy with the notes you play. Yamaha's Virtual Resonance Modelling calculates the state of each string in the different situations your playing would put them into, whether that's being played with strength or lightly and with a variety of pedal timing. The N1X's pedal experience reaches a new level too. With an authentic damper pedal response, you get the slight differences in resistance, just like a grand's pedal. This means you get can use the same techniques and reverberation control - there's a reason why people love playing grand pianos.

Fill any space with an exceptional speaker system. Yamaha's remarkable audio reproduction technologies focus on the grand experience, with a 4-channel speaker system to highlight the detail of the piano sound. Because they sampled from four different positions, you get even greater richness to enjoy to the full from your seat playing the piano. This technology has been designed so the playing position gets the complete effect, so you'll be even more inspired to play.

Two legendary pianos in one

Enjoy two of the most famous concert grands. Many dream of playing either the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial, but here you get an authentic experience of playing both. This gives you the chance to mix up your tone based on the genre of your music, whether that works better with the strong, full-bodied palette of the CFX or the warmest Vienna tones of the Imperial. Either way, the N1X AvantGrand is the best way to play these iconic piano sounds.

The app enables you to select instrument voices, adjust various settings, record your performance, and much more! You will find yourself making music faster with this app as it gives you the freedom to do it via your smart device.

Smart Pianist scans the audio songs loaded in your music library, analyses the chord progressions, and then displays them for you on the screen of your smart device. It's that simple. Play along as the chords scroll by, all the while hearing the song playback through your piano's speaker system. Loading MIDI songs into the app will also allow you to follow along with digital sheet music while you play.
