A Real Grand
Action.
No Tuning.
AvantGrand is not a digital piano imitating an acoustic. Inside the cabinet is a genuine Yamaha piano action with real hammers, driving world-class digital sound. You get the touch of an acoustic, with no tuning visits and no humidity worries.
The closest thing to an acoustic, without the upkeep.
A Clavinova recreates a piano action electronically. AvantGrand does not have to. Inside the cabinet sits a genuine acoustic piano action, the same kind of multi-part wooden and felt mechanism, over 5,000 parts, that Yamaha builds into its upright and grand pianos, with real hammers rising to meet each key.
Because the sound is generated digitally, that real action never needs tuning, never drifts with the seasons, and never minds the humidity in the room. Plug in headphones and all of that expression is yours at any hour, without waking the house.
Thousands of real wooden and felt parts, the mechanism Yamaha builds into its acoustic pianos, move under your fingers. The N1X uses a grand action, the NU1XA an upright action.
Digital sound means the pitch never drifts. No tuner visits, no seasonal humidity worries, no upkeep bills, ever.
Plug in headphones and play at full expression at midnight. Spatial Acoustic Sampling of the CFX and Bösendorfer surrounds you, not the house.
