PIANOS AT LEN WALLIS AUDIO…SURELY NOT!

 

Yamaha have been making musical instruments as well as electronics for a long time now and although we have not in the past considered ourselves to be potential instrument suppliers, we were quick to change our mind after having recently spotted these funky keyboards.

 

 These digital pianos not only look gorgeous, they can play music by themselves (there are 50 pre-set classical and jazz numbers) and when you do play them yourself, the key feel and the sound is extraordinary.

 

Based on Yamaha’s famous and proven Clavinova technology these digital pianos are about as close as you can get to their acoustic counterparts. The piano ‘voice’ is sampled from Yamaha’s famed CF111S concert grand, with a truly authentic realism. The keyboard uses real wood white keys to recreate as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano.

 

Some of the Modus Pianos are also networkable. Tap into the on-line Radio Service for Piano and you can listen to uninterrupted steaming of music on your piano. Alternatively connect a USB flash memory device and your favorite songs in midi format can be played as you recorded them or in a random order.

There are four piano’s in the range:

 

The Yamaha MODUS F01 is an ‘upright’ design with a remarkably small footprint, yet boasts a full 88-note natural wood keyboard and a full-range professionally tuned speaker system. $8,999

 

The Yamaha MODUS F11 is the same design as the F01 with the added features of the USB input, streaming and moving keys. When playing from the onboard library or from external sources the keys move as if actually being played. $14,999

 

The Yamaha MODUS H01 is a more contemporary design with a very high level of finish, and is available in velvet rouge, amber glow and deep brunette. It features an 88–note natural wood keyboard, 3-level dynamic stereo sampling AWM (volume and timbre changing depending on playing touch), 64-note polyphony, 10 instrument voices, 3 pedals (damper with half-pedal effect, sostenuto and soft), and a built-in 40W sound system. $12,999

 

The Yamaha MODUS H11 is based on the H01 above with the addition of the USB input, streaming and moving keys. $18,999.
