We have many customers that love piano but can't play... at least yet. This is one way to have enjoy piano and start the dream. One of things that surprises our customers with Yamaha motorcycles is I ask them to go look closely at the Yamaha emblem on that bike. You will see 3 tuning forks as Yamaha started making Pianos over a 120 years ago, well before motorcycles.
Hi Marcos, I might need you to clarify what you are actually asking for. We do install midi kits on acoustic pianos if that is what you are looking for. Please give me a call at 518-435-9876 to discuss the options and price. Thanks!
Most of our customers take up the low interest offers fo financing on pianos. Payments are only a few hundred a month. The good thing is its different than a car, most cars usually get replaced at the end of the payments. The piano lives on for our lifetime.
The one I’m about to inherit from my father has some nice built in active Yamaha monitors. I’ve been wondering, can the piano only play .midi files or will it receive & send live midi information via midi or usb cable? I am a music producer so this would be most useful for re-dubbing midi pianos or even doing remote recording sessions, I really look forward to making this beauty the centrepiece of my studio
Hi Stan. The Disklavier is a factory built system in the piano and not available as a retrofit. We do have some similar systems from QRS Music and Pianodisc that can be added to your piano. Please give me a call for more information at 518-435-9876.
These pianos come with a nice package of over 500 songs which is expandable but, you do not need a subscription for those songs. If you would like to stream many other channels of music and enjoy Disklavier TV, there is a charge of only few hundred a year for Disklavier Radio which is totally worth it. That subscription does include the Disklavier TV content too.
So the Disklavier uses a speaker...? I hear the singer's voice coming out of the piano... Which makes me question how much of the piano sound is actually from the hammers hitting the strings vs the speakers?
Hi, the piano is fully acoustic and you have an app in which everything is controlled from, including the singing as well as the volume of the acoustic piano playing. You can balance the acoustic piano playing and/or the vocals all from the app. The 2 small but powerful speakers are located up underneath the piano . The speakers to do not hinder the sound of the piano.
Disklavier pianos are only made to be Disklaviers at the factory. Yamaha does not make a retrofit player system for any pianos as Disklaviers are made with some extra design that goes into those pianos at the factory. We do carry QRS and PianoDisc player systems are can be installed into almost any piano however. This would be the way to go if you currently want a piano to be turned into a player piano. We can order a Yamaha C3X Disklaviers or almost any U series or YUS uprights as Disklaviers. Sad part of that is almost a year or better to get one after an order right now. Yamaha can't seem to keep up with demand for these pianos since Covid times.
Although you can turn down or off the vocals and/or piano parts individually, I think it is best to just find the many piano only songs that are available if that's what you want. For many of the songs that contain vocals, the piano part is played differently to accompany the vocalist. If you just turn down the vocals on those songs, you may not even recognize the song as the pianist typically would play the melody along with the vocalist singing. So the best answer to your question would be to just play the piano only songs. Thank you for the good question!
Hi Nancy, great question! You will need 4 things to do this. Typically an iPhone or iPad, the app from Yamaha called My Recorder, a wireless midi adapter from Yamaha called a MD-BT01 and an Apple TV device that allows you to cast what you see on your phone or iPad to a TV. It's all very easy once hooked up. Just make sure that you connect to the MD-BT01 within the My recorder app before recording or playing a video. As far as this working on an older E3 Disklavier, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't have one here to test but the connections are the same. I hope this helps. We have all these devices at out store for sale and can help you if you have more questions.
Hi Jim, let me know the serial number of your piano and the model of the box in front. It will say DKC-???. There are ways to upgrade it with a few different systems that we sell at the store.
The Steinway Spirio is a good player system however, the Yamaha Disklavier in my opinion, offers high quality and more features for quite a bit less money.
Just using a standard iPad in this case that's a few generations old actually. You can use your phone, laptop etc. Very flexible. You just need to download the free Enspire app by Yamaha for your device.
Of all the disklavier videos, this is the only one I’ve found that really shows how the piano works. Thank you
Great demo!!!
Can I add this player to my Yamaha baby grand. From 1990 but excellent. Condition

I’m sold. That’s an amazing piano. Too bad It’s not in my budget

can the singing and instrument sounds come from free standing speakers?
Yes, there are RCA outputs to send audio signal to amplifiers and speakers or powered speakers.

is it possible to link the headphones and listen to the accoustic at the same time?
Actually the answerI believe is yes but I just want to confirm what you are really asking.

how do you record yourself and play back on tv and the piano? Can E3 disklavier do this as well?

I have a Yamaha with disklavier (floppies). Can it be upgraded to use this (digital)?
Hi Jim, let me know the serial number of your piano and the model of the box in front. It will say DKC-???. There are ways to upgrade it with a few different systems that we sell at the store.
What do you think about the Steinway Spirio?
The Steinway Spirio is a good player system however, the Yamaha Disklavier in my opinion, offers high quality and more features for quite a bit less money.
Can you lower the volume of the music while you are talking? It will be easier to understand you.
This a tablet or what ???
Just using a standard iPad in this case that's a few generations old actually. You can use your phone, laptop etc. Very flexible. You just need to download the free Enspire app by Yamaha for your device.
Omg
Coast
Who buys these?
Hi Thomas, many of our customers are home owners but we also sell these to hospitals, hotels, airports and many other commercial places.
Does it have a lyric option for singers
There are songs with lyrics that will display on a TV while playing.
