Where Tradition Meets Technology: Meet Yamaha’s Smart Home Pianos

Explore state-of-the-art digital pianos, player pianos, hybrids, and traditional pianos with factory-integrated technology-crafted by the world’s best-selling piano maker

In 1887, Torakusu Yamaha crafted his first reed organ, laying the foundation for a company that would become a global leader in musical innovation. Today, the company is universally known for its extraordinary ability to not only make some of the world’s most desired traditional pianos, but to also stretch the imagination by seamlessly blending that craftsmanship with modern technology.

For many, Yamaha’s “smart home pianos” are ideal instruments for homes, schools, businesses, and recording studios, where music and innovation go hand in hand. They offer the best of both worlds by combining the timeless experience of playing a beautifully crafted acoustic or digital piano with advanced features that make it more enjoyable and convenient to practice, learn, and listen to the piano.

Read on to explore Yamaha’s lineup of smart pianos, including the Disklavier, Clavinova, TransAcoustic, AvantGrand, and Silent pianos. Get to know the features and benefits they provide and learn how you can experience them for yourself.

Yamaha Disklavier player pianos

Yamaha Disklavier player pianos combine traditional acoustic craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital technology, allowing the piano to play itself. That means you can enjoy live music anytime, even if you don’t play! And thanks to Yamaha’s streaming service, you can stream world-class performances 24/7 and transform your space into a personal concert hall anytime.

These pianos also feature recording and playback capabilities to capture and reproduce a player’s performance in detail. Disklavier pianos even offer connectivity options for remote teaching and integration with smart devices, so they’re ideal for those who want to get the most out of their piano lessons and practice.

Yamaha Clavinova digital pianos

Named one of the 50 most influential technologies of all time, Yamaha Clavinova digital pianos offer a premium playing experience that features the feel and sound of an acoustic piano elevated with modern digital features. They deliver an authentic touch, rich tones sampled from Yamaha concert grands, and advanced options like recording, headphone practice, and instrument voices.

These pianos are ideal for practice, performance, and home enjoyment, and with the CLP Series, CSP Series, and CVP Series, there’s a Clavinova for players of all levels.

Yamaha TransAcoustic pianos

Yamaha TransAcoustic pianos combine traditional acoustic piano craftsmanship with innovative technology, allowing uprights and smaller grands to produce the rich, deep sound of a full nine-foot concert grand. By activating TransAcoustic mode, digital transducers convert electrical sensors through the natural soundboard to amplify the digital sounds of a concert grand along with other voices, like the organ, strings, harpsichord, choir, and more.  Simply amazing.

Yamaha AvantGrand hybrid pianos

Yamaha AvantGrand hybrid pianos blend the feel of a traditional acoustic piano with the advanced features of digital technology. These pianos offer authentic key action, natural touch, and rich sound through meticulously sampled tones from Yamaha concert grands. They never need tuning, and with digital capabilities like headphone practice and recording, AvantGrands provide a perfect balance of acoustic realism and modern convenience.

Yamaha Silent pianos

Yamaha Silent pianos offer an authentic acoustic piano experience with the option to play in complete silence. With a simple switch, you can mute the sound and listen through headphones, allowing you to practice privately without disturbing others. Perfect for any setting, these pianos maintain Yamaha’s renowned quality while allowing you to play anytime, day or night.

With Binaural Sampling, the sound remains rich and natural, as though it’s coming directly from the piano, even through your headphones. With the option to choose between the sounds of the beautiful Yamaha CFX 9′ concert grand or a Bösendorfer Imperial grand, you’ll always have a full, immersive experience.
