Introducing Disklavier ENSPIRE, the eighth generation of Disklavier pianos that offers an immersive new user experience, as well as exciting new ways to listen, learn and play the most advanced instrument on the market today. This is the company’s most ambitious launch to date for its “piano of unlimited potential”. With 3 system variations (CL, ST and PRO) spanning 14 models ranging from 48” uprights to a 9’ concert grand, Yamaha is giving consumers more options to enjoy this innovative instrument. Replacing the popular E3 series, Disklavier ENSPIRE retains its category-leading position as the only fully-integrated and most accurate high-resolution reproducing piano system available. A new streamlined design eliminates the control box of previous generations, while an intuitive app enables Disklavier ENSPIRE to be controlled seamlessly by Apple® iOS and Android™ devices, as well as PCs and Macs. The easy-to-use and intuitive controller app provides direct access to over 500 built-in songs and over 6,000 performances that can be downloaded directly to the instrument from the Yamaha MusicSoft online store. Exclusive high-quality streaming radio and video services are also available — from the Monterey Jazz Festival or the Newport Music Festival, even an Elton John concert on your big screen TV, while the piano performance is received “live” (or on-demand) on the Disklavier ENSPIRE, all in the comfort of your home. Users can now listen to unique stereo ensemble recordings with piano performances from the largest and most recognized artist roster in the world, including “The New Cool” (Bob James & Nathan East); “Angel” and “I Will Remember You” (Sarah McLachlan); “Gran Torino” (Jamie Cullum) and “Reverie” (Frederic Chiu). Solo piano connoisseurs will appreciate the instrument’s unprecedented high- resolution recording and playback accuracy – greater than all other systems. The instrument possesses an integrated DSP servo drive system that monitors key, hammer and pedal movement and automatically adjusts in real-time to ensure accurate performance reproduction. This means that the Disklavier ENSPIRE can recreate the subtlest nuances of a performance – from the softest pianissimo passages right through to the thunderous fortissimos – just as the original artist intended. “Disklavier ENSPIRE connects the piano music lover with the instrument like never before, and brings the entertainment experience to the highest level imaginable,” said Jim Levesque, marketing manager, hybrid pianos, Yamaha Corporation of America. “These instruments offer more features, functions and high quality content, and have the most accurate recording and playback capabilities. This is why ENSPIRE will continue to build on the Disklavier’s reputation as the market leader.” Yamaha has defined the touch and tone of concert-quality instruments for more than 100 years, having the most performed on, recorded and filmed pianos in history. The company manufactures some of the world’s most reliable, sought after pianos found on world renown concert stages, in the most respected academic institutions and in top recording studios. Yamaha has sold more Disklavier pianos worldwide than any other modern day reproducing piano manufacturer, and the instrument has been embraced by top schools worldwide for its unmatched educational and distance learning capabilities. Rounding out the key features on the new Disklavier ENSPIRE: - Instrument can be controlled by a new user interface that can be accessed by any HTML5 compatible browser - Introduces new Disklavier ENSPIRE CL “playback only” model - All Disklavier ENSPIRE ST and PRO models are equipped with a Yamaha Silent System, featuring a binaurally captured CFX Concert Grand sample - Disklavier ENSPIRE PRO models now utilize an enhanced DSP servo system that includes hammer feedback in addition to key and solenoid monitoring - Included WPS Wi-Fi adapter adds easy wireless connectivity to the controller app directly or through a wireless network - Supports new PianoSoft Audio format that features stereo audio ensembles synchronized to piano performances - New Premium Piano Radio channels stream PianoSoft Audio content - New high-quality digital tone generator - USB audio recording function - Self-calibrating record and playback system Yamaha Disklavier ENSPIRE is available in 14 models, 48” uprights and grand pianos ranging from 5’0” (DGB1K) to the flagship 9’ Concert Grand (DCFX). These instruments will ship beginning in July 2016.

For more than 40 years, Yamaha has developed industry-leading synthesizers, from the revolutionary DX7 in the 1980s to the renowned Motif series – one of the best- selling synthesizers of all time. Now, Yamaha raises the bar again with Montage. Montage, available in 61-, 76- and 88-key configurations, features the Motion Control Synthesizer Engine, a powerful and intuitive way to interact with and control sound. The Motion Control Synthesizer Engine controls two iconic Sound Engines: Advanced Wave Memory 2 (AWM2) and FM-X. Compatible with previous generation Motif libraries, the AWM2 engine is exponentially more powerful than the previous Motif XF flagship with nearly ten times more wave memory, integrated flash, double the effects and twice the polyphony. Joining the powerful AWM2 engine is FM-X. An amazingly sophisticated pure FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer engine capable of producing classic ‘80s or cutting- edge EDM sound with incredible dynamic range, power and fidelity. Montage also features a brand new user interface with color touch screen, endless rotary encoders and the Super Knob: a macro control allowing users to control multiple parameters simultaneously. The inspiring Montage brings newfound power to performers, songwriters, producers and sound designers. “Montage is the culmination of over forty years of synthesizer legacy and innovation.” said Nate Tschetter, marketing manager, music production, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Playing and experiencing Montage is, quite simply, inspiring.” Pricing and Availability The Yamaha Montage8 (88-key), Montage7 (76-key) and Montage6 (61-key) will ship in May 2016.

  • CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON Posted on February 16, 2021
    BLACK HISTORY MONTH | CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON Posted on February 16, 2021 Category: News Oscar Emmanuel Peterson (1925–2007) | Agent of Change | Remembered as a virtuoso jazz pianist and composer of Hymn to Freedom, an international anthem to civil rights. The son of immigrants from the West Indies, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal, Québec and grew up in Little Burgundy, a predominantly Black neighbourhood of the city where he was immersed in the culture of jazz. He was five years old when he began taking music lessons from his father. He also studied classical piano with his sister, Daisy Peterson Sweeney, who went on to teach other renowned jazz artists. Peterson later attended the Conservatoire de musique du Québec è Montrèal and studied classical piano with Paul de Marky, but with a deep interest in jazz, he also played boogie-woogie and ragtime. At only 14 years old, Peterson won the national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation music competition, after which he dropped out of high school and joined a band with jazz trumpeter and classmate Maynard Ferguson. While still a teenager, Peterson played professionally at hotels and at a weekly radio show. He also joined the Jonny Holmes Orchestra as its only Black musician. From 1945 to 1949, Peterson recorded 32 songs with RCA Victor. Beginning in the 1950s, he released several albums each year while appearing on over 200 albums by other artists including Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie. In 1949, jazz impresario Norman Ganz was on his way to the airport in Montréal, when hearing Peterson playing live on radio, asked the cab driver to take him to the club where the concert was being aired.

Marquetry is the use of many pieces of different types of wood veneer to create images and has long been viewed a symbol of wealth. Many fine examples of marquetry can be found in the Imperial Palaces of Vienna, including the Schoenbrunn Palace, the summer residence of The Austrian Habsburg Imperial Family. While many historical pianos have included marquetry designs, they have seldom been re-envisioned for the 21st Century. The Austrian Habsburg Imperial Family was delighted by exotic images of nature, covering the walls of their intimate music room with wonderful jungle scenes. The Palace, outfitted with a suite of rooms featuring exotic garden panoramas commissioned by Maria Theresa and hand painted by the celebrated 18th Century Bohemian Ornamentalist painter Johan Wenzel Bergl, played host to six-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who performed for the Empress Maria Theresa at Schoenbrunn.

This innovation was originally ordered as a custom built piano for Ferruccio Busoni, who wanted to transcribe an organ piece that went to the C below the standard keyboard. This innovation worked so well, that this piano was added to regular product offerings and quickly became one of the world's most sought-after concert grands.
