Disklavier Pianos

You’ve probably heard the name, but you can be forgiven for being a bit unsure what exactly a Yamaha Disklavier system is – and what makes them different to any other Yamaha pianos out there.

Allow us to explain. Fundamentally, the Disklavier is a traditional, real acoustic piano, but with a built-in audio recording and playback system.

The name ‘Disklavier’ comes from disk (as in ‘floppy disk’, as when Disklaviers were first introduced to the piano market, this is how recordings were stored), combined with the German word for keyboard, ‘klavier’.

As piano manufacturing has progressed, so too have the capabilities of the Disklavier, with more recent models offering even more advanced functions, allowing for streaming piano music, piano radio, and much, much more. You can enjoy superlative resolution with over 1000 levels of key and hammer velocity.

Maximum functionality with minimum fuss, and a perfect fusion of music and visual art – that’s how Yamaha introduced the Disklavier piano.

Most favoured for their ability to record and playback – mimicking the appearance of a ‘ghost’ pianist but offering all the sound and nuances of your own personal playing style – they are a hugely popular piano.

With the Yamaha Disklavier Enspire collection, silent systems, multi-track recording, and video sync recording sets this patented engineering apart from other manufacturers.

Quick and easy to set up, you can enjoy a stunning musical instrument and an advanced entertainment system all in one. More recent models offer seamless integration with mobile devices, smartphones and computers, giving you ultimate control right at your fingertips.
