In the Spotlight:
The 21st century player piano:
Yamaha's amazing Disklavier
"Player pianos" go back to 1895! Yamaha has completely reinvented this category, and created the ultimate home-entertainment and teaching piano.
A few highlights:
Play your favorite music from CD's (including ones you already own!), USB drives, digital downloads, even direct streaming from the internet!
Entertain your guests or enjoy a karaoke sing-along at your party
Record your playing or your lesson and watch it play back every note with incredible accuracy
Play silently with headphones
Teaches you the notes to a song by moving the keys and waiting for you
Connect to your laptop or iPad - access incredible teaching and songwriting software
Software-based system is being continually upgraded and improved - owners get upgrades at no charge!
