orangefunk Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/epiano-keyboard/modus/h01/index.html Probably a P series piano repackaged for the Japanese home market but interesting nontheless.. If anyone can tell me the name of the classical piece that plays a third of the way thru to the middle I'd be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Beautiful. But it does sound like a P-xxx, doesn't it? Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Horne Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Melody in F, Franz Lizst(?) ... the second piece. I had a bad connection that site and the msuic would stop and start - I have no idea how mnay minutes the entire demo was. I played a very simplified version of that melody on a Lowery Organ when I was very young. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classical music is something of a mystery to me, theres just so much of it... most of which I don't like (e.g. Mozart). However, now and again I hear something which I can relate to (Bach,Chopin,Brahms, etc)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDragonSoun Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Of course being at work I was denied access to the site. I am curious as well to hear what this sounds like. Do you guys liek the ultra modern looking design? Personally I think it looks goofy.

resigned Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yes, I like the contemporary design. It has a clean modern appearance that would fit well in a stylish living room. It looks like the speakers are under the lid. Don't be fooled into thinking it's portable - 82kg (nearly 181 lbs) likely due to the wood keys. Some specs I picked out: Wood keys (specifically the white notes - dunno about the black notes) 64 note polyphony (no surprise) 3 level AWM dynamic stereo sampling 40W ×2 3-way speaker system http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/epiano-keyboard/modus/h01/spec/img/index/pht_04_01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLH Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The melody on the opening segment of the Yamaha site starts with Albeniz's Tango from Suite Espanola, written early 1900s or late 1800s, a lovely piece, written . Can't recall the name of the second number The third is Chopin's Nocturne in B flat minor--absolutely gorgeous; one of my favorites. On my headphones, the piano sounds a bit brittle and clipped. The chords swell nicely but there is something odd going on in there, as though harmonics are getting chopped off quite suddenly at some point. Back to work for me!

NYKeys Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 So far it looks like this may be a hit for the home market.

Finale Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have to agree with LearJeff on this one. Looks like a balalaika-shaped digital piano with a red "Corvette shiny" hood. Absolutely horrible looking. Yamaha's own description says it all : "Lifestyle oriented means delightful living"... Yep, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
