As the newest addition to the AvantGrand lineup, the N1 delivers the captivating sound of this hybrid piano series
in its simplest form. The N1 easily does justice to the grand piano in terms of playing feel and responsive action,
setting a new standard with its perfect integration of acoustic and digital technologies.A real grand piano that
you can play anywhere, anytime. The AvantGrand series features the same action used in Yamaha's renowned grand pianos,
combined with cutting-edge technology that allows you to experience grand piano performance at any volume.
Whether it's the compact N1 with it's authentic grand piano feel, the sleek style of the N2, or the outstanding
power and playability of the N3X, the AvantGrand series offers the genuine experience of playing a grand piano,
wherever, and whenever you need it.
The nuanced touch and response of the grand piano are an essential standard yardstick for piano quality.
The AvantGrand offers the player a specially-developed grand piano action that features the same configuration
as the action of a real grand. The hammers strike the strings from underneath, allowing minute adjustments to
the weight distribution of the hammers, and to the movement of the hammers themselves, for a smoother feel when
playing. In addition to a hammer sensor, the AvantGrand employs a non-contact key sensor that has no effect on
the movement of the keys, affording excellent recognition of the player's pressure on the keyboard, timing, and
the other delicate nuances that affect musical expression. This combination provides an impressive sensitivity
for the entire range from pianissimo through to fortissimo, and the ability to translate even the swiftest trills
of the pianist with transparency.
With the introduction of the AvantGrand, Yamaha ignited a revolution in the approach to sampling recording and playback
of the notes of the actual acoustic piano. Treating the sound-board not simply as a point source of sound but as
a plane, we took samples at four positions, adding optimum center and rear locations to the traditional left and
right. As a sound source, we carefully selected the best single instrument from among our CFIIIS full concert
grand pianos for sampling. The end result of these efforts is that AvantGrand series instruments recreate the
original sound of a superb grand piano almost to perfection. Meanwhile, the AvantGrands speaker system has been
designed to ensure that this sound is heard best at the playing position. A three-way system featuring woofer,
mid-range and tweeter speakers reproduce the rich natural resonance of the soundboard accurately. Whats more,
each of the low-, mid-, and high-frequency bands has been given its own amplifier to prevent interference between
bands. This innovative configuration allows the instruments outstanding sound system to reproduce the nuances of
each individual note. For even greater sonic accuracy, feature speaker layouts optimized for the size of the instruments.
