- [Ed Sueta Band Method 1 Alto Saxophone](https://www.alamomusic.com/products/ed-sueta-band-method-1-alto-saxophone):
  The Ed Sueta Band Method is a systematic method based on syllables, rhythm charts and motor coordination of the foot and fingers which lead to a sound rhythmic perception. The primary emphasis of the method is on rhythm because the development of music reading skills is the major hurdle for beginning instrumentalists. Each book contains a sequential, comprehensive set of at least ten rhythm charts.There is one Practice Incentive CD for each of Book One and Book Two with more than 50 tracks per CD. The Ed Sueta Band Method has become a respected standard which continues to be used by band directors with great success today.

  Maestro Mariner Tremolo Effects PedalThe Maestro Mariner Tremolo offers two amp-like tremolo options for "two pedals in one" functionality and increased sonic versatility. In Classic mode, you can swing from subtle, smooth amplitude modulation all the way to a sharper-edged, biting modulation, with many creative areas to explore in-between. In Harmonic mode, you can dial up timeless textural Harmonic Tremolo tones that are very reminiscent of the tones produced by a select few vintage amplifier tremolos. With its amp-like tones and ability to vary the tremolo's wave shape, the Mariner Tremolo delivers a wide range of inspiring possibilities. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets users quickly set the desired Depth (the intensity of the tremolo effect), control the Shape of the waveform (from a triangle wave to a square wave), and adjust the Speed of the tremolo effect. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it's on so you can see when the effect is active.Switches: True Bypass footswitch, Harmonic/Classic Mode toggle switchLED Indicators: Red, yellow, and blue bugles in the Maestro logo illuminate when the pedal is activeSignal Processing: All-AnalogPower Requirements: 9V battery or regulated 9VDC power supply (5.5 x 2.1 mm plug, wired center-negative)Current Draw: 41.9 mAPower On Switch: Incorporated into the input jack.

  Pre-Owned Fender Chroma Polaris Synth Synth is in Good Condition. from vintagesynth.com The Chroma Polaris was the second synthesizer made by Fender/Rhodes after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a classic analog ARP-like sound, kind-of tinny but also fat. Sounds can be layered up to 6 voices. It has typical analog synth controls including a cool 'sweep' knob for sweeping through the LFO or analog filter cutoff parameters. It also has a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches. There's also a nice and colorful layout with sliders similar to Roland Juno synths, membrane push-buttons and a large velocity sensitive 61-note keyboard making the Chroma Polaris a very nice synth. Fully MIDI-equipped, the Polaris will transmit and receive all its edit controls through MIDI as well as the ability to play up to three patches at once. Unfortunately they are rare and usually hard to find. It has been used by Leftfield and Jimmy Edgar. *Pre-Owned items are sold as-is, sale is final*

  Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce - Modern Precision, Refined ComfortThe Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce represents the pinnacle of Taylor's most forward-thinking acoustic design, combining premium tonewoods with Next Generation innovations that elevate tone, feel, and amplified performance. Every detail of this Grand Auditorium is engineered to deliver a rich, balanced sound with exceptional comfort and modern versatility.At the core of the instrument is Scalloped V-Class bracing, an evolution of Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class architecture that enhances low-end depth and warmth while preserving the clarity, sustain, and pitch accuracy that define the design. Paired with a high-powered Adirondack spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a voice that blends modern precision with a more open, traditional warmth-full and resonant under a strong strum, yet articulate and responsive for nuanced playing.For stage and studio use, the Builder's Edition 814ce is equipped with Taylor's new Claria electronics system, designed for true plug-and-play reliability. The refined under-saddle pickup and powerful preamp capture the guitar's full acoustic complexity with warmth and accuracy, while intuitive soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls allow quick adjustments without interrupting your performance.Playability is equally refined. A Standard Carve mahogany neck and smooth Crelicam ebony fingerboard provide a familiar, effortless feel, while Taylor's innovative Action Control Neck allows precise neck-angle adjustments with a simple turn of a bolt-making it easy to dial in your ideal action and simplifying long-term maintenance.True to the Builder's Edition name, this model is finished with comfort-driven upgrades and elegant details, including a radiused rosewood armrest, chamfered body edges, refined inlays, and Grover 510 tuning machines.

  Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce - Treasure-Grade Tone, Modern PrecisionA showcase of treasure-grade tonewoods and Taylor's most advanced design innovations, the Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce stands as one of the most powerful and refined Grand Auditorium guitars Taylor has ever produced. This instrument blends vintage-inspired sonic authority with modern playability, comfort, and reliability.At the core of the guitar's voice is Scalloped V-Class bracing, part of Taylor's Next Generation platform. This evolved bracing architecture opens up the low end, delivering a deeper, warmer, and more expansive response while maintaining the pitch accuracy, balance, and sustain that define V-Class design. The result is a sound that feels bold and authoritative, yet controlled and articulate across the entire fretboard.The top is crafted from Adirondack spruce, revered among tonewood connoisseurs for its exceptional stiffness, power, and headroom. Long considered the gold standard of vintage-era acoustics, Adirondack spruce delivers explosive dynamic range and continues to open up and improve with age-making this Builder's Edition 814ce a true long-term investment instrument.For the back and sides, Taylor selected Honduran rosewood, a highly prized and visually striking tonewood known for its low damping factor and richly layered harmonic response. Honduran rosewood offers deep, authoritative bass, smooth and rounded mids, and clear, bell-like trebles with lush overtone complexity. Paired with the power of Adirondack spruce, it produces a voice that is expansive, creamy, and remarkably balanced.When plugged in, Taylor's new Claria electronics system faithfully captures the guitar's complex acoustic character with true plug-and-play simplicity. Designed to avoid the harshness commonly associated with under-saddle pickups, Claria delivers a warm, natural amplified tone and features intuitive soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls for fast, musical adjustments in any setting.Playability is equally refined. A Standard Carve mahogany neck and 15" radius smoky ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, familiar feel, while Taylor's innovative Action Control Neck allows precise neck-angle adjustment with a simple turn of a bolt-making action changes easy and long-term maintenance dramatically simpler. The long-tenon neck joint further enhances sustain and low-end resonance for a fuller, more powerful sound.True to the Builder's Edition name, this model is finished with comfort-focused refinements and premium details, including chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, elegant Element inlays, and Antique Gold Gotoh tuning machines.Powerful, expressive, and meticulously refined, the Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce is a flagship acoustic-electric built for discerning players who demand uncompromising tone and modern precision.FeaturesNext Generation Builder's Edition 814ce featuring Scalloped V-Class bracing and Claria electronicsAdirondack spruce top delivers exceptional power, headroom, and long-term tonal developmentScalloped V-Class bracing enhances low-end depth and produces a warmer, more resonant voiceHonduran rosewood back and sides provide rich harmonic complexity with smooth, rounded warmthClaria under-saddle electronics offer natural, acoustic-accurate amplified tone with plug-and-play simplicitySoundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controlsMahogany neck with Taylor's comfortable Standard Carve profileAction Control Neck enables precise neck-angle and action adjustmentsLong-tenon neck joint improves sustain, resonance, and low-end response15" radius smoky ebony fingerboard with shell/MOP Element inlaysBuilder's Edition comfort upgrades including chamfered edges, beveled armrest, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and Antique Gold Gotoh tuners1.75" nut width suits fingerstyle, strumming, and flatpicking styles

We can assist with cleaning brass instruments, along with removing dents, repairing valves and making other adjustments. • Professional cleaning: Oil and other debris build up on instruments through everyday practice.

- [About](https://www.alamomusic.com/pages/about):
  Walk into any Alamo Music Center store and you will be amazed at the immediate attention you receive. Alamo Music Center was started in 1929 by Alfredo Flores Sr. What started as little more than a way to survive the depression is now the largest music store in San Antonio. Alamo Music has expanded over the years to fit the needs of the musician. A lot has changed since our humble beginnings on the front porch of a 1929 San Antonio home, but there is one aspect the company refuses to let go of: devotion to the customer. At Alamo Music Center stores, we have a firm belief that the focus should be on the customer and their needs, because "life is more fun when you play music"! Whether you want an antique piano, or the newest in modern synthesizers, electric guitars, and home audio systems, Alamo Music Center has the equipment, employees, and service that will make you confident in your decision. We have the capability to do business worldwide, so our customers can work with any company, no matter where they are. At Alamo Music Center, our staff is devoted to serving the customer and our company. In fact, many of our employees have been with the us for over fourteen years. You can always find a familiar and friendly face in our stores. Alamo Music has extensive experience in pianos and keyboards. We carry some of the finest pianos made, including Baldwin, Yamaha, Steinway, Chickering, Wurlitzer and more. We also carry the top band and orchestra brands, including Selmer, Conn, Glaesel and Cof. Alamo Music is a full time Dealership. We are a full service music store with extensive electronics, band instuments, guitars, accessories, pianos, rentals and service centers. Our Government Sales division is a certified government contractor and has been for over ten years. It is an area devoted to selling musical instruments and audio/video products to various government entities, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the General Services Administration (GSA), Veterans' Hospitals and many others. Our full EDI capabilities and recent VAN link enable us to process requests for orders around the world with the utmost in efficiency. Alamo Music Center prides itself on being a family business. Mr. Flores Sr.'s son and daughter are the current leaders of the company. This new generation still firmly believes in keeping the focus on the customer. Since Alamo Music Center's start in 1929, the company has been actively involved in community and music industry projects. Both leaders of Alamo Music Center have taken an active role in the community, sitting on boards such as The Arts and Cultural Board, The San Antonio Downtown Improvement District Council, National Association of Music Merchants, American Music Conference, University of Texas at San Antonio Fine Arts Advisory Board and many others. Alfredo Flores Jr., as past president of the National Association of Music Merchants (1985-1987), has a continued link to national activities of the music industry. He is called on to consult on major issues facing music education, music research and music marketing. Alamo Music Center has a firm belief that music is for everyone and our love for it will never die out. As Alfredo Flores Sr. recalled of the depression, "Even in the country's most trying times, music and art flourished. It was and will always serve as a form of expression and entertainment". It is these two things that will continue to keep people interested in music, as long as there is a genuine interest in music, Alamo Music Center will serve the world with the finest equipment and service it has to offer. Alfredo Flores was born in Mexico in 1908 and moved to San Antonio, Texas with his mother and grandmother when he was a small boy. He took several jobs as a young man including a position with the Thomas Goggan piano company. His experience with the piano company provided Mr. Flores with the idea and contacts to open his own business. Alamo Music Exchange was formed in 1929, just months before the stock market crash. The store was able to withstand the Great Depression due to Mr. Flores’ dedication to customer service. Over the years the store grew in size and reputation, leading to expansion and a new building in the 1960s. That decade also saw his son, Alfredo Flores Jr., and his daughter join the business. During his 2009 interview, when Mr. Flores was 100 years old, he remarked on how proud he was to have been in the music business and how proud he was of his family for keeping the family business running. Alfredo Flores Jr. proudly took over the music store his father established in 1928. Alamo Music Center in San Antonio, Texas, has long been established as a focal point for music making in the area. Under Alfredo Flores Jr’s leadership, the product lines have increased as well as the store’s community and industry involvement. In fact he served on the NAMM Board for many years including the role as president from 1985 to 1987. Alfredo also played a vital role in capturing some of his father’s stories for the NAMM Oral History in 2009 when he sat next to his father, who at the age of 100 spoke of his life in music.

  Inside The Kawai K-500 ATX4 ANYTIME Upright Piano | A Classical Pianist's Take In this video, Ted and Daniel walk through the Kawai K-599 ATX4 Anytime Upright Piano and discuss what makes this instrument stand out. One of the first topics they cover is the advantage that traditional acoustic, stringed pianos have over digital pianos. Digital pianos are limited in how many notes can sound at one time when using the sustain pedal. While many digital pianos advertise 256-note polyphony, that number is effectively reduced to 128 notes when stereo sampling is used. The piano featured in the video stands 51 inches tall, which is only three inches taller than a standard upright piano, but those extra inches make a noticeable difference. The increased height helps improve the lower register, producing a clearer, more crystalline tone. Additionally, the larger size reduces the likelihood of false tones, as the piano benefits from longer strings and a larger soundboard compared to smaller uprights. Because of its size and construction, this piano is also easier to tune than smaller upright models. The longer strings contribute to improved tuning stability and support a better scale design, resulting in a more balanced and consistent sound across the keyboard.

During their conversation, Yunyung performs two classical pieces on the SK-EX, her choice for competitions. Yunyung emphasizes that her piano playing is rooted in the thickness of her palms, the strength of her hand muscles, and the flexibility required to achieve optimal results. However, she stresses that the most crucial aspect of her performance is the message she communicates to the audience, along with the attitude she brings to her practice and displays through her playing.

- [Martin Road Series: Modern & Retro Dreadnoughts](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/martin-road-series-modern-retro-dreadnoughts):
  Retro vs. Modern: Martin's 2026 Road Series Dreadnought Comparison | D13e vs. DC13e Chris and Cooper from Alamo Music break down the refreshed Road Series from C.F. Martin & Co., putting two closely related dreadnoughts head to head: the Martin D13E Retro and the Martin DC13E Modern. Both guitars are designed to be stage-ready, affordable alternatives to Martin’s U.S.-made models—but they’re built for very different types of players. What’s New with the Road Series? Martin has split the Road Series into two clear lanes: • Retro models focus on traditional looks and all-solid wood construction • Modern models lean into cutaways, updated styling, and added durability for gigging Every model includes electronics and a gig bag, making these guitars easy to take straight from the case to the stage. What the D13E Retro and DC13E Modern Share At their core, these two guitars have a lot in common: • Dreadnought body shape • Solid spruce tops • Martin E1 electronics with onboard tuner • Comfortable Performing Artist neck profile • Designed for live performance and everyday play Where They Really Differ D13E Retro This is the more traditional choice. It’s all solid wood, with walnut back and sides, no cutaway, and classic Martin-inspired styling. If you love the feel and tone of a vintage-style Martin and want maximum value for the money, this one makes a lot of sense. DC13E Modern The Modern version is built for players who need flexibility. The cutaway gives easy access to the upper frets, and the fine veneer Koa back and sides add strength and stability. Modern cosmetics and Ratio tuners round out a guitar that’s clearly aimed at working musicians. Solid Wood vs Fine Veneer All-solid wood guitars tend to open up and sound better over time, which is why many players prefer them. Fine veneer construction, on the other hand, is stronger and more consistent—great for travel, touring, and changing environments. Neither is “wrong”; they’re just built for different needs. Final Thoughts Most traditional Martin fans will probably gravitate toward the D13E Retro for its all-solid build and classic vibe. The DC13E Modern, however, fills a real gap in Martin’s lineup by offering a cutaway dreadnought that’s ready for modern playing styles. In the end, it’s a simple choice: classic tone and construction, or modern features and playability.

- [Kawai's Newest Digital Piano | The CX Series](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/kawais-newest-digital-piano-the-cx-series):
  Kawai CX Series Digital Pianos: A New Standard for Home Performance Kawai has introduced an exciting new chapter in digital piano design with the release of the CX Series. Replacing the now discontinued KDP Line, the CX Series blends realistic touch, expressive tone, and intuitive technology at highly competitive price points. Featuring the CX102 and CX202, this new lineup is ideal for beginners, advancing students, and home musicians who want premium Kawai quality at a reasonable price. ---------------------------------------- The Kawai CX Series The CX Series is Kawai’s newest entry-level to mid-range console digital piano line, replacing the older introductory KDP line with a more refined playing experience. These instruments focus on three core elements: • Authentic weighted keyboard actions inspired by acoustic pianos • Expressive concert grand piano tone derived from Kawai’s flagship instruments • Modern connectivity and practice features designed for today’s players By combining traditional piano craftsmanship with current digital technology, the CX Series delivers a realistic and inspiring instrument for everyday use at home. ---------------------------------------- CX102 Digital Piano: A Strong Foundation for New Pianists The CX102 is the most accessible model in the CX lineup and an excellent choice for beginners or families seeking a high-quality first piano. Key features include: • Responsive Hammer Lite action with graded weighting • Grand piano sound sampled from the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX • Multiple instrument voices including electric pianos, organs, and strings • Built-in lesson functions, metronome, and recorder • Bluetooth MIDI and USB MIDI connectivity • Dual headphone jacks for silent practice With its compact cabinet and understated styling, the CX102 fits easily into living rooms, apartments, and teaching studios while delivering a touch and tone that supports proper technique development. ---------------------------------------- CX202 Digital Piano: Enhanced Touch and Expanded Features The CX202 builds on the CX102 with upgrades aimed at advancing players who want greater control, responsiveness, and sound projection. Notable enhancements include: • Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHCII) action with triple-sensor detection • Improved repetition and dynamic control • More powerful onboard speaker system for fuller sound • Bluetooth Audio and MIDI for wireless streaming and app integration • USB MIDI connectivity for recording and composition software • Expanded cabinet finishes for a more furniture-style appearance The CX202 is particularly well-suited for students transitioning from beginner to intermediate repertoire, as well as adult players seeking a realistic piano feel without the maintenance of an acoustic instrument. ---------------------------------------- Authentic Tone Inspired by Shigeru Kawai Both CX models feature piano sounds derived from Kawai’s most respected concert instruments, including the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX. This provides: • Rich harmonic depth • Smooth tonal transitions across dynamics • Expressive response suitable for classical, jazz, and contemporary styles This focus on tonal realism helps bridge the gap between digital convenience and acoustic authenticity. ---------------------------------------- Designed for Modern Homes and Learning Environments The CX Series integrates seamlessly into modern musical lifestyles. Bluetooth connectivity allows players to connect wirelessly to learning apps, playback music through the piano’s speakers, or integrate with recording software. Combined with built-in practice tools and headphone support, these instruments are equally effective for quiet home practice, teaching studios, and shared living spaces. ---------------------------------------- The Perks Of The Kawai CX Line The Kawai CX Series stands out by offering: • Authentic weighted action developed by an acoustic piano manufacturer • Expressive grand piano tone sourced from world-class instruments • Contemporary features without unnecessary complexity • Excellent value for long-term musical growth For players seeking a dependable, musical digital piano at an affordable price and proven craftsmanship, the CX Series is a compelling option.

  Weighted Keys Explained! Roland GO:KEYS 3 vs FP-10 In this video, Ted and Roland break down the differences between the weighted Roland FP-10 and the unweighted Roland GO:KEYS, explaining what you get with each instrument. While the weighted FP-10 does not offer as many built-in sounds as the GO:KEYS, it features fully weighted keys that make it an excellent choice for classical piano training and at-home practice. On the other hand, the GO:KEYS offers a wide variety of sounds and effects. It also includes a built-in drum machine and arranger section, allowing users to create and layer their own music with ease. Portability is another major difference between the two. The GO:KEYS is lightweight and battery-powered, making it easy to take anywhere without worrying about a power outlet. In contrast, the FP-10 is more stationary. Due to its size and weight, it is not designed for casual transport, such as taking it to the beach or a party, as shown in the video. Because the GO:KEYS is unweighted, it feels more like a synthesizer than a traditional piano when playing. The FP-10, however, provides a more authentic grand piano feel thanks to its proprietary Roland PHA-4 action. Lastly, the FP-10 includes all the essential features needed for focused piano practice, such as working on scales, hand positioning, and technique across a full 88-key keyboard. While the GO:KEYS is not intended to function as a traditional piano, it excels as a creative instrument, offering quick access to lead lines, bass lines, and sound-building tools commonly found in synthesizers.

- [Martin Super HD28 vs Standard HD28 | Does Size Matter?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/martin-super-hd28-vs-standard-hd28-does-size-matter):
  Martin Super HD28 vs Standard HD28 | Does Size Matter? In this video, we clarify some of the information we initially got wrong about the new Martin 2026 Super HD28 and Standard HD28 guitars. One of the main issues we faced was that the Super HD28 appears larger and deeper than standard Martin guitars. Even when the Super HD28 is placed next to the Standard HD28, the Super still looks noticeably bigger. The Super HD28 features a standard dreadnought depth, but it is longer and wider than typical models, increasing the internal volume by approximately 20%. We initially guessed that this larger size might affect the guitar’s sound because the manufacturer’s website does not provide detailed specifications, such as exact measurements. Changes in the body length and width can alter the position of the bridge relative to the sound hole, which can impact the tonal characteristics. One advantage, however, is that the guitar’s depth remains standard despite the increased width. By expanding the size of the body and top, the Super HD28 is able to produce a richer bass response, giving it a fuller, more resonant sound. The Super also accommodates finger picking really well with its low end response demonstrated by Chris with a back to back sound comparison of the two guitars.

  The Yamaha P225: Full Review The Yamaha P225: Full Review In todays video, Ted and Roland talk about the Yamaha P-225 and why you should buy a piano under a $1000. The Yamaha P-225 sounds great because of the CFX concert grand inside of it, it has 2 7-volt speakers inside the digital piano making it sound robust and a full sound. The piano itself is only 25 pounds so you can pick it up and move it around pretty easily. Another thing about the piano is that anyone can use the piano and really anywhere, it doesn't matter if your a beginner, intermediate or a pro player, the piano can work for you. The action on the P-228 is praised for its professional-like feel and upgraded sound engine that allows for the sound to blend more naturally in the sub $1000 category. The piano also has two quarter inch line outputs, while the other pianos before this one only had headphone jacks in the piano, and with the line outputs you have full bandwidth, good quality and no sound problems. The piano has 24 different instrument and sound effects including 20 rhythm patterns that were not offered in its predecessor, the P-125. The Yamaha Smart Pianist app allows for more in-depth control of the piano which can be used as an alternative to customize your sound even more than the onboard controls allowed.

- [Taylor Next-Generation Guitars Have Arrived: What’s New and Why It Matters](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/taylor-next-generation-guitars-have-arrived-what-s-new-and-why-it-matters):
  Taylor Next-Generation Guitars Have Arrived: What’s New and Why It Matters Taylor Guitars has never been content to stand still. From bolt-on necks to V-Class bracing, the company has consistently redefined what modern acoustic guitars can be. With the launch of the Next Generation Taylor acoustic-electric lineup, Taylor introduces a meaningful evolution—not a cosmetic refresh, but real, player-focused advancements that affect tone, feel, and amplified performance. At Alamo Music, we’ve spent time with these guitars, and the changes are immediately noticeable. The Next Generation series centers around three major innovations: • Scalloped V-Class Bracing • The new Action Control Neck • Taylor’s Claria pickup system Together, these updates represent one of the most significant refinements to Taylor’s core models in years. ---------------------------------------- Scalloped V-Class Bracing: Familiar Balance, Bigger Emotion Taylor’s original V-Class bracing changed the acoustic guitar landscape by improving intonation, sustain, and balance across the fretboard. With Scalloped V-Class bracing, Taylor takes that foundation and reshapes it—literally. By carefully removing material from key brace locations, Scalloped V-Class opens up the top in a new way. The result is: • A stronger, warmer low end • A more open, resonant feel • A tonal character that bridges the gap between classic X-braced warmth and modern V-Class precision Chords feel fuller and more dimensional, with enhanced harmonic bloom, while single notes retain the clarity and focus Taylor players expect. This is especially noticeable when strumming—there’s more air moving, more depth behind the sound, and a more satisfying low-frequency response without sacrificing definition. In short, Scalloped V-Class delivers a sound that feels both broken-in and accurate, making these guitars incredibly versatile for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, and full-band contexts alike. ---------------------------------------- The Action Control Neck: Precision Setup Without the Guesswork Taylor has long been a leader in neck design, and the Action Control Neck is their most advanced system to date. Unlike traditional neck joints that require invasive work to adjust, the Action Control Neck allows players and technicians to change the neck angle with a simple turn of a bolt—no neck removal, no string loosening, no downtime. Why does this matter? • Players can dial in their preferred action with incredible precision • Seasonal changes are easier to manage • Long-term maintenance, including neck resets, becomes dramatically simpler Beyond adjustability, the Action Control Neck also improves tone. Its long-tenon joint increases stiffness at the heel, which enhances energy transfer between the neck and body. The result is a deeper low end and stronger resonance, even as you move higher up the fretboard. It’s a behind-the-scenes upgrade that delivers very real, very audible benefits. ---------------------------------------- Claria Electronics: Plug In and Play—No Fuss Required Taylor’s new Claria pickup system marks a shift in philosophy from ultra-sensitive, mic-like amplification to something many working musicians have been asking for: consistency, warmth, and simplicity. Claria uses a refined under-saddle pickup paired with a powerful, intelligently voiced preamp. Unlike typical piezo systems, Claria is engineered to avoid harsh transients, unwanted frequencies, and piezo “quack.” The system is gain-staged internally to prevent clipping and preserve headroom, even with aggressive playing. Key features include: • Natural, warm amplified tone • Soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls • A wide tonal range, from smooth rhythm sounds to mid-forward lead tones • Excellent performance across a wide variety of PA systems and stages For players who want to plug in and sound great immediately—without menus, modeling, or external gear—Claria delivers exactly that. ---------------------------------------- Next Generation Taylor Models Available at Launch These updates are rolling out across Taylor’s most popular and professional-grade models. The Next Generation Taylor lineup at launch includes: • 314ce • 324ce • 414ce • 814ce • 454ce • 854ce • 324ce Builder’s Edition • 814ce Builder’s Edition Each of these guitars benefits from the same core innovations, while retaining the unique tonal identity and feel of its series. Whether you’re drawn to the balance of the 300 Series, the refined elegance of the 800 Series, or the ultra-premium comfort of the Builder’s Edition models, the Next Generation updates enhance what players already love about each guitar. ---------------------------------------- A Meaningful Evolution, Not Just a New Name What makes the Next Generation Taylor guitars special is that none of these changes exist in isolation.

  The Best Keyboards Of The 80s and 90s | From the DX7 to the Mirage: Our Favorite Vintage Keyboards In today’s video, keyboard enthusiasts Roland and Ted dive into some of their favorite classic synthesizers from the past — including legends like the Yamaha DX7, SY77, and Ensoniq Mirage. Join them as they share stories, memories, and insights about the instruments that shaped their musical journeys. The Yamaha DX7 is a groundbreaking 61-key digital synthesizer introduced in 1983 that helped define 1980s pop and electronic music. It uses six-operator FM (frequency modulation) synthesis, offering up to 16-voice polyphony and a wide range of complex, metallic, and bell-like tones. Built with a velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, an LCD screen, and membrane switches, it supports MIDI and allows for storing and recalling sounds via cartridges. Despite having no built-in effects, its innovative sound engine and programmability made it wildly popular, and it remains a legendary instrument in music history. The Yamaha SY77 is a powerful 61-key synthesizer workstation from the early 1990s that blends FM synthesis with sample-based AWM2 sounds for deep sonic versatility. Its AFM engine offers extensive modulation options, while RCM technology lets users combine FM and samples in unique ways. With 32-voice polyphony, multitimbrality, a built-in sequencer, and onboard effects, it functions as a full production instrument. The SY77 is known for its rich sound-design capabilities and its role as an evolution of the iconic DX-series synthesis. The Ensoniq Mirage is an early, affordable 8-bit sampler keyboard from the mid-1980s, featuring 8-voice polyphony and a 61-note, velocity-sensitive keyboard. It combines digital sampling with analog subtractive synthesis—its voices go through resonant Curtis analog filters. It offers multi-sampling (up to 16 samples across the keyboard), a built-in 333-event sequencer, and MIDI support. With its variable sample rate (10 kHz–33 kHz), 128 KB of memory, and floppy-disk storage, it was groundbreaking in bringing sampling to a more accessible price point.

  From The Perspective Of A Classical Pianist Kawai K-300 The 48″ K-300 upright piano builds upon the award-winning legacy of its predecessor, the K-3, delivering uncommon touch and exquisite tone. The K-300 is equipped with our revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action designed with components made from carbon composite materials to provide ultra-responsive touch and exceptional musical expression. The K Series K-300 upright piano projects rich, pleasing tone through its tapered solid spruce soundboard that offers a wide dynamic range from thundering fortissimos to the most sensitive and delicate pianissimos. With elegant styling, responsive touch and richness of tone, the K-300 upright piano proudly extends its award-winning heritage by delivering unsurpassed performance that will satisfy the most discerning pianists. In this video, Ted is joined by classical pianist Daniel Voeller to discuss the features, sound, and touch of the Kawai K-300 Piano. Take a look as we dive into the subtleties and details for the performer. Being a Classical Pianist, Daniel offers a perspective from a teacher and performer's standpoint on what it is like to use this instrument for long sessions. Whether you're teaching or practicing, the K-300 is a workhorse of an upright piano and is widely used at many educational institutions. A piano like this is where you as a player can spend the essential time hashing out difficult passages on a piece or have your student accompany you during a lesson. Daniel demonstrates and compares how the action of the K-300 responds to fast repeated inputs and the dynamic contrast of the instrument compared to its sister piano the K-200. Having a lot of experience on Grand Pianos, you get to witness Daniel's first hand impression, comparison and sound of the K-300 upright as he performs an excerpt from Ravel's "Alborada Del Gracioso"!

  Kawai K-200 Upright Piano Review & Demo If you’re ready to move beyond a starter keyboard or older spinet and invest in a true performance piano, the Kawai K-200 stands out as one of the most refined uprights in its class. Sitting at 45 inches tall, it fits beautifully in a living room, studio, or teaching space, yet delivers the depth and resonance you’d expect from a grand piano. The K-200 with Kawai’s Millennium III Upright Action is crafted with advanced ABS-Carbon materials for a touch that’s light, fast, and incredibly stable over time. This same technology is used in Kawai’s grand pianos, giving the K-200 a precise, responsive feel that allows for nuanced control and expressive dynamics that is not the usual for an upright piano as expressed by Daniel in the video. The solid spruce soundboard and carefully scaled strings produce a warm, singing tone with clear treble and a surprisingly powerful bass response for its size. In the video Daniel Voeller, Classical pianist and teacher, provides a performance with the well known classical piece -- "Maurice Ravel - Miroirs", in demonstration of the Kawai K-200's precise response in the action of the piano as well as its sound production capabilities. Whether you’re an advancing student, dedicated teacher, or experienced player looking for a space-saving piano that doesn’t compromise on sound or touch, the Kawai K-200 offers professional quality, elegant design, and lasting value. With its smooth action, beautiful tone, and polished craftsmanship, it’s the perfect bridge between compact convenience and true acoustic performance.

Cooper takes us on an in-depth review and comparison of the Jason Isbell Signature Model from Martin. This guitar features a satin-finished 0 14-fret body crafted with solid mahogany for a warm, focused tone with clear trebles and strong midrange punch. Scalloped spruce X-bracing provides added responsiveness and balance, while the shorter 24.9" scale length contributes to a softer, more relaxed playing feel.

  Roland FP‑10 vs Kawai ES60 — Which Entry-Level Digital Piano Should You Choose? If you’re shopping for your first “serious” 88‑key digital piano, chances are you’ve run into two heavy hitters in the entry-level portable space: the Roland FP‑10 and the Kawai ES60.

The Roland FP-10 is an affordable option for beginner to intermediate players offering Roland's PHA-4 Standard key action and SuperNATURAL sound engine.

  Revisiting the Yamaha CP-30 in 2025 The Yamaha CP-30 is a classic stage piano introduced in the late 1970s, representing an important milestone in the evolution of portable electronic keyboards. Known for its distinct analog tone and rugged design, the CP-30 was built to serve gigging musicians who needed an alternative to hauling a full acoustic piano to performances. While modern stage pianos now offer lightweight designs and highly realistic sampled sounds, the CP-30 continues to stand out for its vintage character. Its sound is warm, expressive, and full of subtle imperfections that give it a unique personality, making it especially appealing for studio work and retro-inspired music. Physically, the CP-30 is large and heavy compared to modern instruments, reflecting the technology of its era. Its construction is extremely durable, with many units still fully functional decades later. However, its weight makes it less practical for frequent gigging without assistance. The CP-30 delivers a distinctive analog sound that differs from the clean, precise voices of today’s digital pianos. While it doesn’t perfectly replicate an acoustic grand, it excels at producing rich, organic textures ideal for vintage recordings and live performances where character is more important than accuracy. Unlike modern keyboards packed with hundreds of voices and built-in effects, the CP-30 keeps things simple. Its straightforward controls and limited sound palette reflect its era but also contribute to its charm. Many players find its imperfections to be part of what makes it inspiring to play. Some of its key strengths include authentic analog warmth, an extremely durable build, and a unique vintage character that brings retro flavor to recordings. However, it does have limitations. The CP-30 is heavy and bulky, with a limited range of voices and no modern connectivity options. Being a vintage instrument, it may also require regular maintenance to stay in top playing condition. Overall, the Yamaha CP-30 remains a fascinating piece of keyboard history. Its analog warmth, rugged build, and unmistakable vibe make it a sought-after instrument for those who appreciate vintage sound. In a world full of sleek, feature-rich keyboards, the CP-30 offers something different: a reminder of where stage pianos began and why some classic tones never go out of style.

  Revisiting the Yamaha DGX-670 in 2025 The Yamaha DGX 670 is a highly valuable and versatile keyboard praised for its affordability, portability, and professional-quality sound. Priced under $1,000, this keyboard offers 88 graded hammer standard keys with five levels of touch sensitivity, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned musicians. It weighs about 47 pounds, making it portable enough for gigs while still delivering a robust playing experience. Ted highlights the DGX 670’s extensive sound library, featuring over 630 voices, including top-tier Yamaha piano samples like the CFX grand piano, and a wide array of electric and acoustic guitar sounds so realistic they can convincingly replace actual guitars in recordings. The keyboard includes advanced onboard effects such as 58 reverbs, nearly 300 digital signal processing options, and over 100 chorus types, providing users with a rich palette for sound customization. It also supports left-right stereo output via a mini-jack, though the reviewer notes that quarter-inch jacks would elevate its professional utility. Additionally, the DGX 670 features a 16-track MIDI recorder for multi-instrument arrangements and song creation, though the small screen may require some practice to operate efficiently.

- [Comparing Taylor's New Gold Label Guitars | 814e vs. 717e Gold Label Acoustic Guitars](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/comparing-taylors-new-gold-label-guitars-814e-vs-717e-gold-label-acoustic-guitars):
  In this detailed comparison video, Chris McKee from Alamo Music TV examines two Taylor guitars from the Gold Label lineup: the 814E Rosewood Gold Label in the Super Auditorium body shape and the new 717E Grand Pacific Gold Label in Grand Pacific body shape. Both guitars are crafted with spruce tops and rosewood backs, but the 814E uses East Indian Rosewood while the 717E features Honduran Rosewood, which is rarer and more expensive. The video highlights the differences in body shape, depth, bracing, tonewood, and price, and how these factors influence the tonal characteristics and playability of each guitar. The 814E, being a Super Auditorium, has a tighter waist and shallower depth, resulting in a more focused, chimey high-end tone suited for fingerpicking and versatile playing styles. In contrast, the 717E Grand Pacific, with its deeper body (5 inches), rounder shoulders, and wider waist, delivers a fuller, warmer, more resonant sound with enhanced midrange and bass, making it ideal for strumming, flatpicking, and players seeking volume and richness. Both guitars incorporate Taylor’s new V-Class fan bracing and the innovative Long Tenon Action Control neck, allowing for easy neck angle adjustments and enhanced tonal response. Chris encourages viewers to consider their playing style and tonal preferences when choosing between these models and invites them to share their opinions in the comments. The video also announces a correction in Taylor’s model naming system to better differentiate rosewood and koa Gold Label guitars. Overall, this comparison offers a comprehensive look at how subtle design variations can impact guitar tone and player experience.

- [The Best Spruce/Mahogany Dreadnoughts of 2025 | Martin D-18 Refresh vs. Taylor Gold Label 517e](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/the-best-spruce-mahogany-dreadnoughts-of-2025-martin-d-18-refresh-vs-taylor-gold-label-517e):
  In the world of acoustic guitars, few matchups are as anticipated as Taylor versus Martin. In this detailed comparison, Chris McKee, puts the spotlight on two of the hottest dreadnoughts available today: the Taylor 517E Gold Label and the refreshed 2025 Martin D-18. If you’ve been wondering how these two modern icons stack up, grab a seat, and let’s dive into their tone, design, playability, and overall value. The Taylor 517e Gold Label Guitar- Taylor’s new Gold Label series, designed by Andy Powers, has been turning heads since its release. The 517E embodies everything fresh and forward-thinking about this lineup: Grand Pacific (GP) body – A round-shoulder dreadnought, now deeper for a fuller sound. V-Class bracing with fan bracing – Unique hybrid bracing delivers sustain, clarity, and a vintage tonal character. Torrefied spruce top with mahogany back and sides. A modern neck joint that allows for on-the-fly action adjustments. Comes standard with Taylor’s ES2 pickup system and a hard-shell case. New design elements: headstock, inlays, logos, and edge burst finish. This guitar is designed to be a modern Taylor with an “old-soul,” bringing a warm, vintage-inspired tone that’s distinctly different from traditional Taylors. 2025 Martin D-18- The Martin D-18 is one of the most legendary acoustic guitars of all time. For 2025, Martin has introduced key updates that bring Golden Era features into its Standard Series: Golden Era bracing (inspired by high-end Custom Shop models) for a richer midrange and a more open voice. Golden Era neck profile – A slightly slimmer fretboard with rounded edges, giving it a broken-in feel. A redesigned bridge shape and a subtly angled nut (new for 2025). Solid spruce top (non-torrefied) and mahogany back and sides. Comes with a classic Martin hard-shell case. The Taylor 517e offers a deep, full bodied bass thanks to its thicker body and a slightly softer treble due to the torrefied top and deeper resonance. While the 2025 Martin D-18 has a tight controlled bass and sparkling clarity on the high end -- classic to the Martin tone. Both guitars are very comfortable, the D18 feels more compact and the 517e feels larger and more enveloping with the round-shoulder shape and added depth. Taylor's new feature of the adjustable neck joint gives players more control over the setup while the Martin retains its traditional craftmanship. > "The Martin D-18 remains a benchmark for balanced tone and projection—a classic square-shouldered dreadnought with history behind every strum.“The Martin D-18 has a bit more high-end presence, while the Taylor 517E gives you a fuller, deeper low end and a very modern vintage vibe. Both are fantastic guitars—you just have to decide which personality fits your playing style.” - Chris McKee Check out the Video, for the full in depth comparison and a demo comparison.

- [Tuning Techniques For An Upright Piano](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/tuning-methods-on-an-upright-piano):
  Can an Upright Sound Like A Grand Piano? Maybe not exactly, but it can get darn close. In this video, Ted provides information on what you might not have known about different techniques and capabilities when tuning a piano. These are the different methods used by professional piano tuners today. The first technical based skill is Aural Tuning (By Ear)- This time-honored method involves using a tuning fork or pitch reference and adjusting each string based on harmonics and intervals. It requires a finely trained ear and is often preferred by seasoned piano technicians. With tuning levers the small metal pins on each string are carefully adjusted to pitch. Second are with Electronic Tuning Devices Modern tuners use apps or specialized electronic tools to measure pitch frequencies precisely. These devices help ensure consistent results, especially useful for beginners or large-scale tuning jobs Ted is strictly an Aural based piano tuner. In the video he explains a technique of Stretch Tuning. A professional technique where octaves are slightly widened to accommodate how the human ear perceives pitch across registers. This is especially important in upright pianos, where bass strings resonate differently than in grands. With this technique you can expand the projection range of an upright to make it sound as VAST and STRONG like the sound of a Grand Piano.

  Join us for an exclusive feature with special guest Chris Vu, a distinguished jazz pianist performing at the iconic underground venue Jazz, TX. In this insightful episode, host Cooper sits down with Chris to discuss his musical journey, influences, and professional background as a pianist. Together, they explore the craftsmanship, tonal qualities, and performance capabilities of the Kawai GX-6 Grand Piano in an in-depth, honest review from a musician’s perspective. This episode offers valuable insights into the world of professional music and high-end instruments. Chris shares insights from his extensive experience as a session musician, emphasizing the importance of choosing a piano that feels inspiring and versatile. Unlike classical players who often rely on concert grands in ideal venues, jazz musicians are sometimes faced with less-than-perfect instruments and adapt creatively. Chris recommends ballads as a key test piece when trying out pianos, as they reveal nuances and personality of the instrument. He praises the versatility of pianos like the Kawai GX6, which serve as a “blank canvas” suitable for beginners and pros alike. Jazz players often face challenging, imperfect instruments and must adapt instantly by modifying voicings or rhythms. This improvisational requirement illustrates jazz musicians’ flexibility and ingenuity, which can also lead to creative breakthroughs. The discussion reveals that piano preferences differ based on context. Yamaha and Kawai’s reliability and tonal range make them staples in jazz clubs. Steinway pianos, although prestigious, can be more varied due to handcrafted inconsistencies, making them tricky for casual or club use. We were so glad to have Chris Vu this week.

  Discovering the Yamaha SY-1: Yamaha’s First Portable Synthesizer and Its Unique Sound & Demo In the world of vintage synthesizers, the Yamaha SY-1 holds a special place as Yamaha’s inaugural foray into portable synthesizers. Released in 1974, this compact instrument marked a key moment when synthesizers started becoming more accessible and portable for gigging musicians. Unlike Yamaha’s earlier massive synth engines that often came embedded in large Electone organs or enormous keyboard setups like the GX1, the SY-1 was designed for portability, ease of use, and distinctive sonic character. Roland from Alamo Music Center in San Antonio dives deep into the SY-1, highlighting its historical context and unique tonal qualities. The SY-1 was launched shortly after Roland introduced their portable synth, the SH-1000, in 1973. Interestingly, both synths share a visually similar aesthetic with faux wood panels and multi-colored sound tabs, suggesting Yamaha aimed to compete directly in this new market segment. What sets the SY-1 apart is its characteristically “nasty,” gnarly, and squelchy sound profile. Unlike the powerful and bass-heavy Roland SH-1000, the SY-1 leans towards sharp, quirky tonalities that give it a unique presence. Its user interface is straightforward but clever, featuring a modifier section with filters and vibrato controls positioned conveniently on the left-hand side to allow real-time tone shaping with one hand while playing. The SY-1’s filter section mirrors the famous Yamaha CS filter, renowned for its musical and distinctive response, which contributes greatly to its distinctive sound. Despite its simplicity, the synth includes a basic envelope generator with attack controls, portamento sensitivity, and aftertouch capability—albeit with somewhat limited expressiveness. Roland’s hands-on demonstration showcases how the SY-1 can generate a broad range of unusual and compelling sounds by manipulating its sliders and presets. Although it may appear quirky and unconventional, the SY-1’s sound palette is fresh and continues to hold relevance even in modern music production due to its unique sonic fingerprint. In conclusion, the Yamaha SY-1 is more than just Yamaha’s first portable synthesizer—it is a compact instrument bursting with character, perfect for musicians seeking something different from the typical vintage synth sound. Its portability and unique tonal quality ensure it remains a fascinating piece of synthesizer history and a versatile tool for creative music making today.

If you're trying to choose between these pianos, this video is a must-watch to understand the technical differences of the GX and GL series grand pianos! ---------------------------------------- 1. Rim Thickness: The rim's thickness varies, affecting the piano's sound and construction integrity. The GL series has a thinner rim compared to the GX series, which supports better sound projection. 2. Key Length: The key length increases from GL to GX to SK series, contributing to the playing experience and sound control. Longer keys provide a more solid feel and stability during play. The GL and GX Series Key Length will vary by model for instance the GL-10 and 20 are the same, but the GL- 30 and GX-1 are the same as well. 3. Soundboard Quality: All series use spruce for soundboards, but the quality of the spruce improves with the series tier, impacting sound richness and resonance. 4. Bracing Patterns: Bracing differs by piano size, with more advanced designs in the GX and SK series supporting greater sound production and stability. 5. Key Materials: The GX series utilizes upgraded key tops that mimic ebony and ivory for a better tactile experience compared to GL series keys, providing a more comfortable touch. ---------------------------------------- View the Kawai GX Series View the Kawai GL Series ---------------------------------------- CONTACT AN EXPERT TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR PIANO There’s a lot to think about when choosing your piano, which is why our experts have been helping musicians like you for nearly 100 years.

- [Is a Hybrid Piano Better Than an Acoustic Piano? Feat. Daniel Voeller](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/is-a-hybrid-piano-better-than-an-acoustic-piano-feat-daniel-voeller):
  In this informative discussion led by Ted Barsolou and Pianist Daniel Voeller at Alamo Music, the focus is on comparing two types of pianos: a hybrid upright piano and a traditional acoustic upright piano. Daniel shares his insight from playing both instruments, expressing a newfound appreciation for hybrid pianos, which blend the acoustic and digital worlds. He describes the hybrid as a appreciative and new experience, particularly praising its ability to provide a close-to-acoustic feel while allowing versatility in practice with the ability to plug in headphones to your piano. Both pianists discuss the significant differences in feel, sound quality, and performance potential between acoustic and hybrid pianos. Daniel shares his impressions of the hybrid piano’s dynamic range and responsiveness, noting it can produce both soft and powerful sounds comparable to an acoustic piano due to the hammer system within the Hybrid that mimics the Acoustic. They further delve into the nuances of playing techniques needed for both types, particularly focusing on dynamics, touch, and sound production differences. As they explore the capabilities of each instrument, the conversation highlights the practicality of hybrid pianos for modern musicians, especially in environments where noise restrictions exist, making them an attractive option for those who wish to practice without disturbing others. As well as a producers insight of experimenting with different installed sounds stretching from the traditional piano. Hybrid pianos combine the elements of traditional acoustic with digital technology, offering functionality that caters to modern musicians. Daniel’s initial disbelief at how close the hybrid sounds to an acoustic emphasizes the advancements in digital piano technology.

- [Is Reverb About To Change For The Worse?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/is-reverb-about-to-change-for-the-worse):
  Is Reverb About To Change For The Worse? The recent acquisition of Reverb by Fender’s parent company, Servco Pacific Inc., has stirred significant conversations in the music industry. Lets dive deep into what this means for musicians, retailers, and the overall market landscape. History of Reverb Originally linked to Chicago Music Exchange, Reverb was bought by Etsy for $295 million, leading to changes affecting sellers and buyers alike. The sentiment around this transition has been mixed, making this new acquisition noteworthy. What does this mean? Many independent music stores heavily rely on Reverb for online sales. While it offers visibility, sellers grapple with high fees that limit profits. This dependence on third-party platforms has consequences for local businesses. As economic challenges emerge, musicians might turn to used instruments rather than new ones. This shift opens avenues for companies like Serco and Creative Partners, enhancing their stake in the secondary market. Despite the consolidation trend, supporting local music stores is essential. They provide valuable community resources, often at risk due to large corporate competition. As Reverb transitions under new ownership, the focus should be on ensuring fair and competitive fee structures for sellers. Maintaining affordability is crucial for small retailers. Sellers must emphasize the condition, rarity, and authenticity of items rather than simply competing on price. This approach ensures a healthier marketplace. We already do this. Anticipate further consolidation within the music industry, where traditional companies might seek control over transaction platforms or financial entities. This is the current reality of capitalism, with third party apps like this one small businesses like us stay relevant with such apps, but at the cost of feeding into Reverb and out of our own relevance. It is quite the double edged sword. Fender’s acquisition of Reverb presents both opportunities and challenges for the music industry. Ensuring that the platform remains viable and supportive for independent sellers while adapting to evolving consumer habits will be crucial moving forward. With all of this in mind, continue to be diligent and mindful from where you purchase. The new age of ecommerce is ever changing, consider supporting small businesses first. Your local music shop can only stay alive because of you. ---------------------------------------- Feel free to join the conversation in the comments about what this acquisition means for you and the future of Reverb. Do you prefer purchasing from independent sellers or primarily seek out the best deals? Let us know your thoughts!

At Alamo Music, we're excited to introduce you to a world of unique piano finishes that can elevate your home's aesthetic to new heights.

Deep sapphire blue, emerald green, or even a daring red piano like the Kawai GL-10 Ferrari Red Grand Piano can serve as a stunning focal point in your room. Art Case Pianos: These are truly one-of-a-kind instruments, featuring hand-painted designs or inlaid materials. They're not just musical instruments, but genuine works of art. Transparent or Crystal Pianos: For a truly unique and contemporary look, consider a transparent or crystal piano.

- [Our Favorite Guitars From $200 to $1000 | Buyer's Guide](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/our-favorite-guitars-from-200-to-1000-buyers-guide):
  There are many factors that amount to a quality guitar within the price range of $200-$1000; most importantly, reliability and comfortability. Here are a few of our favorite choices in the price range to accompany our latest buyer's guide video. Fender CC-60S Pack: At right around $229.99 (currently), the CC-60S pack is a solid top, Grand Concert body style, mahogany acoustic guitar that is accompanied by everything you need to get started-- picks, strings, strap, and gig bag. Fender packs also come with a few months of free Fender Play lessons, so at the lowest price on the list, we think this guitar punches well above its weight in value. Yamaha FSX800C: We love Yamaha Guitars, and this solid-top, cutaway and electronics-equipped Grand Concert is a gig ready instrument that is easy to play and perfect for beginners and seasoned players alike-- currently at $359.99. If you want a larger size, check out the FG800; if you want some more bling, check out the FS830 & FG830. Guild Westerly Collection: These all solid wood guitars are incredible value, with multiple body shapes and wood pairings to choose from. If you're a fan of the Guild aesthetic, love a nice padded gig bag, and need something a little less expensive to bring to the gig, these are a great option. Taylor GS Mini, Academy 12, and 114ce: We talk plenty about Taylor over here at Alamo, and there's good reason. The GS Mini is one of the easiest guitars to play, and many players have added one to the collection-- starting at $499, you can add electronics or different wood options that range all the way up to $1199. The Academy 12 (and accompanying "e" model) is a comfortable way to get started (with the armrest making it easier to play for long periods), and starting at $699 it's perfect for a student. The 114ce is housed in Taylor's most popular body shape, the Grand Auditorium-- with benefits of a dreadnought and concert style body, the entry into that body shape is always popular and at $899, a great way to get into the Taylor line. All Taylors come with great gig bags as well. Martin Dreadnought Junior and 000-10e: There aren't a ton of Martin's left under $1000, but our favorite options are those with all solid wood. The Junior series are all solid, and while the Road Series guitars (models with 10, 11, 12, 13 in the names) are not comprehensively all solid, the 000-10e is! With onboard tuner and electronics, this guitar can be ideal for anyone wanting a Martin on a budget for learning, performing, or writing. For more information or any questions, feel free to submit the form below to get our Guitar Buyer's Guide and talk to the experts at Alamo-- we'd love to help you find your perfect instrument.

- [The Dangers of Buying Used Guitars](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/the-dangers-of-buying-used-guitars):
  Buying a used guitar can be an exciting venture, offering the allure of vintage charm and potential savings. However, as Chris discovered firsthand, it can also come with its fair share of challenges. In this candid discussion between Cooper and Chris, we explore the nuances of purchasing used gear, from identifying common issues to deciding whether to tackle repairs yourself or seek professional help. Identifying Issues: Chris's experience with his used ES-335 serves as a valuable lesson for aspiring guitar buyers. It's not uncommon for used guitars to come with a few quirks or even significant issues. From electronic malfunctions to structural damage, the range of potential problems can be vast. One of the first steps in assessing a used guitar is to thoroughly inspect it for any visible signs of wear or damage. Cracks in the body, neck warping, and fret wear are all red flags that warrant closer inspection. Additionally, pay attention to the instrument's playability—uneven frets, buzzing strings, or tuning stability issues could indicate underlying issues. DIY vs. Professional Repairs: Once you've identified any issues with the guitar, the next question is whether you're equipped to address them yourself or if it's best to enlist the help of a professional guitar technician. Minor repairs, such as replacing a broken string or tightening loose hardware, can often be tackled by DIY enthusiasts with the right tools and knowledge. However, for more complex repairs or issues requiring specialized expertise, it's advisable to seek the services of a skilled technician. Electrical problems, intricate setup adjustments, or structural repairs are areas where professional intervention may be necessary to ensure the integrity and longevity of the instrument. Navigating Deal-Breakers: Not all issues with a used guitar are created equal. Some may be minor inconveniences that can be easily remedied, while others could signal serious underlying issues that may ultimately lead to regrettable purchase decisions. As Cooper and Chris discuss, it's essential for prospective buyers to weigh the severity of any identified issues against their own preferences and priorities. While minor cosmetic flaws or setup adjustments may be acceptable compromises for some, significant structural damage or irreparable defects could be deal-breakers that justify walking away from a purchase. Overall, Chris's experience with his used ES-335 serves as a cautionary tale for guitar enthusiasts embarking on the journey of buying used gear. By understanding the potential pitfalls and knowing what to look for, buyers can make informed decisions that minimize the risk of disappointment or regret. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a novice enthusiast, the guidance offered by Cooper and Chris underscores the importance of diligence and discernment when navigating the world of used guitars. So, before making your next purchase, take heed of their advice: know what you're getting into, and don't be afraid to seek expert assistance when needed. In the market for a new or used guitar?

  In a late year surprise Taylor Guitars shocked us with a pair of "mirror-image" like custom Grand Auditoriums. A koa GA with maple binding and a maple and bear claw GA with koa binding is a simplistic description for how incredible these guitars are. Premium woods and custom appointments left us both a bit gobsmacked. The Maple Custom Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of stunningly figured Big Leaf maple accented with contrasting Hawaiian koa. A richly textured bearclaw spruce top and tone enhancing V-Class bracing round out the package, adding up to a vibrant yet warm tone profile that reflects each player's distinctive touch. Figured koa is featured in the beveled armrest, backstrap, heel cap, backstrip and body/soundhole binding, along with koa purfling along the fretboard and peghead plus a koa tail strip. Other visual appointments include a green abalone rosette with matching Reflections fretboard inlays, polished bronze tuners, dark-stained bone bridge pins, and a striking glossy Antique Blond finish for the entire guitar. See the guitar here: https://bit.ly/469ExcW In contrast the Koa Custom Grand Auditorium is crafted with back, sides and top of gorgeous AA-grade figured Hawaiian koa. Together with our V-Class bracing architecture to boost volume and sustain, this all-koa guitar yields a lively midrange attack with clear trebles and a dash of low-end presence that will grow deeper and sweeter as the wood matures. The alluring reddish hues of this beautiful batch of koa are set off with flamed maple accents for the beveled armrest, backstrap, heel cap, backstrip and body/soundhole binding, with maple purfling along the fretboard and peghead and a maple tail strip. A green abalone rosette, polished bronze tuners, dark-stained bone bridge pins, Reflections fretboard inlays in green abalone and a honey/amber aged toner color treatment (entire guitar) with a gloss-finish body complete the appointment package.

  When it comes to digital pianos, the main challenge facing engineers is the task at hand to reproduce two things accurately: the sound, (tone) and the feel (touch) of an acoustic piano. When you press an acoustic piano key, it activates a hammer, which then strikes string(s), which, in turn, vibrates and makes a sound. Add to that the complex tonal interactions, such as string resonance, damper resonance, cabinet resonance, and natural reverberation, then you see Digital Piano manufacturers have their work cut out for them reproducing this complex sound. Currently, digital pianos use one or a combination of the methods of Sampling and Digital Modeling to reproduce the sound of an acoustic piano and other musical instruments. We are here today to delve into the question of Modeling VS Sampling...which is better?

- [5 Tips That Will Help A Beginner Learn Piano!](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/5-tips-that-will-help-a-beginner-learn-piano):
  1. Learning Without A Piano Teacher A piano teacher can make learning the instrument easier by… Establishing good habits: A large part of playing the piano successfully is learning the correct muscle memory of posture, hand position, and finger movement. While working under the instruction of a piano teacher doesn’t guarantee you will become a concert pianist, it can help you not learn those bad habits. Making stylistic corrections: Piano music sounds best when it is played at the proper volume, rhythm, and tempo. It’s also easiest to play if you incorporate the correct fingering and hand movement. You may not realize your own mistakes without the help of a piano teacher by your side to point them out for correction. This one-on-one feedback is impossible to get from a textbook or online tutorial and is key to progressing to the next level. Providing teaching materials: A private teacher can recognize specific areas where you’re struggling and recommend extra study exercises to help you improve. Without this extra push, you might struggle with a certain part of music theory for much longer than necessary. Holding you accountable: You’re much more likely to achieve your playing goals if you have someone to hold you accountable. Your piano teacher will set certain expectations and hold you accountable for them, making it more difficult for you to give in to the temptation to slack on practice or quit. 2) Take the Time To Practice Is it hard to learn piano? Certainly, but how hard it is depends on how willing you are to practice! The bulk of advancement in playing is done away from your teacher during regular practice. If you only practice once or twice between your weekly lessons, you probably won’t progress at the pace you wish. It’s a waste of money to hire a teacher if you refuse to put in the time in between lessons. As a general rule of thumb, strive to practice for at least 30 minutes every day. You have to put in the time if you want to see improvement from week to week. Seeing yourself improve is rewarding and motivating and makes it all worthwhile. 3) Be Patient and Consistent It’s not impossible to learn the piano if you have no prior musical experience; just expect it to take you a little longer at the start to master the fundamentals of reading music. After all, everyone needs to start somewhere! Be patient with yourself, stay focused, and remain focused and positive! 4) Practicing on a Cheap Keyboard Without a proper 88-key piano, or at the very least an 88 key weighted keyboard, you’re limiting yourself and making it harder to learn the instrument. Why add an extra element that could frustrate you as you attempt to learn piano? The best option to give you the most authentic playing experience possible as a beginner is an upright piano. There’s nothing quite like the sound of a concert grand, but an upright piano is more economical for your budget and space. If you travel to your piano teacher’s home or studio, it’s likely that they give lessons on an acoustic piano as opposed to a digital keyboard. Having an instrument at home consistent with the one you use in your lessons can certainly help. 5) Having Too High or Too Low of Expectations Keep your expectations realistic: don’t start piano lessons thinking you’ll be playing Beethoven tomorrow! It’s important that you learn the basics first and build a strong foundation. That means learning one-handed songs and basic melodies before you ever move to more complicated works. If you jump into a piece that’s well above your skill level, you’ll likely get frustrated and have the urge to quit. With all of this in mind, it’s easy to see the benefits of taking piano lessons as opposed to learning on your own. Just about every factor that impacts the difficulty of learning the piano ties back into whether you have a private teacher at your side, helping you as you hone your new skills. In this way, finding a qualified teacher is the first step toward mastering a new musical instrument.

- [The Top 10 Mistakes People Make When Buying A Piano](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/the-top-10-mistakes-people-make-when-buying-a-piano):
  People stumble on their search for a piano when: 1) They haven’t decided if they really want to learn/play - If you ask most people if they would like to learn piano or like their progeny to learn piano, they will say, “yes, of course!” But most people leave it there. One of the most common things we see is people who sign their kids up for a month of lessons at the lowest price they can find, and then follow-up with the purchase of an inexpensive unweighted keyboard. And while some of these unweighted keyboards are incredibly impressive instruments with robust features, they sometime lack the real feel and response that help aid the learning process. After a month, the child/student hasn’t learned a thing and $200-300 could have been better spent. We discourage people from buying if they are don’t actually want to invest the time and money to learn. You have to decide whether you want to unlock the secret benefits of music, to which there are many! 2) They don’t understand how much a piano costs to move and maintain - Professional piano movers and tuners are expensive. Locally, it costs, roughly, $200-400 to move an upright, and factors such as stairs and distance can increase the cost. If shipping from outside your city/state, greater distances across the US might set one back as much as $700-$2000+ and can take up to 3-4 weeks. A grand piano can cost between $300 - $1000+ to move locally depending on the logistics, and the cost of moving a grand nationally is $1000 - $2500+! Want to save money by using regular movers or doing it yourself? No worries, but please be aware of the costs if something goes wrong. Every finish nick will cost about $150 per, a broken pin block renders most pianos worthless, costing $8,000+ on high-end grands and being close to impossible on uprights. Tuning, a necessity after a move, costs between $100-$175 each visit and should be done at least once a year, ideally twice. 3) They under-commit with lessons or quality of piano - This is similar to the first point but a little more nuanced. You can do one right and the other wrong and you are going to render your proper investment worthless. We sometimes see people buy very expensive grands, uprights or digital pianos, and when we ask them if they’re taking lessons, they say they’re using YouTube, going to teach themselves via a book or have a friend teach them. Usually, we offer a teacher referral at this point, with someone whom they can trial, unless the person is fine with the piano simply being a piece of furniture in the house (believe it or not, this is more common than not). We also see people sign up for lessons with a prestigious teacher in town, paying $100+/ per lesson but be concerned with spending too much on an instrument in case lessons don’t work out. The problem here is that the $100s of dollars spent on lessons ends up being a waste and costs the customer more than the savings that were made on the inexpensive instrument. 4) They use “Grandma’s” piano - Now this is actually not always a bad thing as a family heirloom piano can sometimes be of excellent quality, especially when music runs in the family. Often, though, there are severe issues with the “family” piano. If the piano has tuning stability issues, the player will develop a bad ear. If it is missing strings, it is impossible to play many pieces. If the piano action is broken, the proper playing mechanics will not be developed and/or strange playing techniques will develop to compensate for the uneven action which will make playing on other instruments difficult. 5) They don’t ask for their teachers advice - Teachers are a great source of information and guidance. They also usually have strong opinions on what is best for the student because of their method of teaching. The improper instrument then gets in the way of the relationship between the teacher and the learning/playing of music. Teachers are also great at sniffing on a good deal or a bad one for that matter. 6) They buy a used piano with a critical flaw - Much like points 2 and 4, you don’t know what you don’t know. A $500 piano on Craigslist is a really good deal if it’s indeed a good deal. If it’s not, like when it’s got broken strings, pin-block, tuning stability issues or action issues, you are looking at a $700-1250 loss (how so? Well, you have to pay to get it to your house, get it tuned and then, finally and sadly, thrown away...we actually get paid to pick people’s junker pianos and dispose of them...it’s sadly somewhat expensive as you can’t put them in the regular trash. 7) They don’t get buy-in from their significant other - Communication is key. We’ve seen many well intentioned future musicians not come to fruition because parents weren’t on the same page about the value of music for their children. One did it growing up and the other didn’t, so one wants to do the “trial” version and the other wants to take out a second mortgage on the house. Usually no one wins here. The other situation we see is that the child is asked to participate in the decision and they side-rail the whole expedition because it doesn’t look fun enough. Teachers and music stores can be great partners and helping parents convince their children that music is a journey they will never regret. Unless, of course, they don’t take it and then they’ll be another person telling us about how they wished their parents would have made them “stick with it” when they were growing up. 8) They put it on-hold - The saddest story I remember hearing was a Dad who saw us at an outside piano sale event and he told us that he remembered when he’d almost bought this exact piano for his daughter when she was in high school. He said, “Wow! I can’t believe how much more expensive it is now and I regret not having done that for her. She really loved music so much and she doesn’t play anymore.” He talked about potentially buying it for her college graduation but said he “still needed to think about it”. 9) They buy too quickly - And then they end up with issue 2, 3, 5, 6 and/or 7. The pain, money, and time spent increases and regret builds on an instrument that should bring joy and build memories in your home. You don’t think about the sound factor of an acoustic piano and realize that a weighted digital piano was probably a better choice for your situation. You don’t think to match the colors to your furniture and style. You buy a digital and you really wanted the feel and sound of an acoustic instrument. This list can go on for days, but doesn’t have to with an informed and well planned decision! 10) They spend too much or too little - You can buy too much piano and you can buy too little piano. If you have a 4 year old beginner, a 9' premium grand piano might be overkill. If you've been playing for 5+ years, a $1000 used spinet of $500 keyboard is going to hold you back as a musician and stunt your growth. The key is to make sure you understand where you are in your musical journey and where you want to go, so you get the right instrument, maximize your investment and save money and time. Use this list wisely! There are many factors that should be addressed when purchasing the right instrument, and if you just stop and breath for a moment, the right piano will let itself be known. We would also like to point you to our Piano Buyer’s Guide as that will also give you further insight into how to approach the process. Good luck on your quest, and remember , “Play A Note, Change Your Life!”

  Taylor has a long history of introducing compelling new tonewood flavors to the world, and we’re as excited as we’ve ever been to help them debut a stunning new entry — red ironbark — as the new featured tonewood of the reimagined 500 Series. After exploring and falling in love with its acoustic properties, master builder Andy Powers has paired ironbark back and sides with a torrefied spruce top and deployed a new voicing recipe — shaped by Taylor's V-Class bracing — to bring another uniquelyenticing tone profile to the Taylor line. Chris McKee and Cooper Greenberg discuss the unique aspects of this wood and what it brings to the 514ce and 512ce guitars.

- [Using Analog Hardware in Your Home Studio! (Companion Article)](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/using-analog-hardware-in-your-home-studio-companion-article):
  Apollo x4 Hardware Insert Setup for Pro Tools If you found your way to the page, we’re willing to bet you’ve hit an impasse adding hardware inserts to your Pro Tools session while utilizing Universal Audio’s Apollo X4 interface. Don’t fret as we have got you covered! Just take a look at the instructions below, and before you know it you will have four mono inserts primed and ready for just about anything you place in their path! *This article is only for the software setup. Physical connections are covered in the accompanying video, which is linked at the bottom of this page. **This article assumes that the user has an understanding of UA’s Console software and Pro Tools. For further information on either of those products, please refer to their respective manuals. Changing the inputs and outputs in the Console software that’s provided with your Apollo X4 is necessary before attempting anything else. We’re not going to assume that we know how your Console is currently set up, rather we are going to show you in the images below how they need to be configured. If you don’t do this first, the I/O setup in Pro Tools may be problematic. 1. Open the UA Console Settings and then click on the I/O Matrix. The inputs for channels 1 & 2 should be set to “OFFLINE”. Outputs 1 & 2 should be set to “MOL L” and “MON R” respectively. 2. Input channels 3 & 4 should be changed to “MIC/LINE/HIZ 1” and “MIC/LINE//HIZ 2” respectively. Output channels 3 & 4 should be changed to “Line 1” and “Line 2” respectively. 3. Input channels 5 & 6 should be changed to “MIC/LINE 3” and “MIC/LINE 4” respectively. Output channels 5 & 6 should be changed to “Line 3” and “Line 4” respectively. 4. Once you’ve completed these step, be sure to save your setup with a meaningful name. Maybe “Pro Tools Inserts Setup” or “Pro Tools Default”. 5. Now return to the Console window and mute the four analog outputs. This is required as not to double monitor the insert when engaged in a Pro Tools session. And for the sake of clarification - if the four analog inputs are not muted in the UA Console, not only will you monitor the output in Pro Tools, you will also hear signal pass through the UA Console software and the Apollo, which will create a slight delay/doubling when monitoring. 6. Now open your Pro Tools session. Once the session has loaded, it’s time to reconfigure your I/O setup. Venture up to the “Setup” menu and then select “I/O’. 7. Clear out all inputs, outputs, busses and inserts. Each of the aforementioned has to be cleared individually. To do this, click on the “Input” tab first, select all inputs, and then delete said inputs. The same activity will be repeated using the “Output”, “Bus” and “Insert” tabs. Once completed, click “OK” in the bottom right corner. *Please note that any routing you had in your session will be deleted. If you already have complex bus assignments in your session, please be sure to take notes of your settings. 8. After the routing assignments have been cleared from their respective tabs, you need to enter their the default assignments. Once again, you will click through each tab, starting with the “Input” tab. Your inputs should still be clear, but that will soon change. Find the “Default” button on the lower left, click, and the inputs will auto-assign. Notice how the names of the inputs in the left column now reflect the names of the inputs in the UA Console software. Repeat these steps for the “Output”, “Bus” and “Insert” tabs. Once completed, click “OK” in the bottom right corner. 9. This next step is key to getting all of the former steps to have any meaning in this quest. When the inserts are set to their default state, they will not work properly as they will be misaligned. 10. The inserts must now be moved over two spots to the right. In other words inserts “1 & 2” should now be placed under channels “3 & 4” and inserts “3 & 4” should be placed under channels “5 & 6”. This sounds confusing, but take a look at the image below for clarification. The quickest way to achieve this task is by selecting all assignments and then moving them over collectively two spaces to the right. Insert designations after 3 & 4 will not work with the Apollo X4. Once completed, click “OK” in the bottom right corner. 11. The final step is to instantiate the hardware insert in your Pro Tool session. If everything has been setup correctly on both the hardware and software sides, audio signal should pass through the processor of your choosing and return back to Pro Tools. Place your cursors on the first insert slot, click on the slot, and then choose “I/o”, which should immediately expose the mono inserts. Now select “Insert 1 (mono)” and start tweaking your hardware! If this goes as intended, then you still have three more hardware inserts to experiment with. *Be sure to consult your Pro Tools manual for hardware insert delay compensation. This will have to be set up manually.

- [A Brief History of Yamaha Pianos | Alamo Music](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/a-brief-history-of-yamaha-pianos-alamo-music):
  The characteristic sound of Yamaha pianos can be heard today in concert halls, recording and rehearsal studios, houses of worship, and in educational institutions worldwide. This success story was far from immediate; actually, it has been more than a hundred years in the making. Here is a brief history that shows how one man’s dream to craft the world’s finest concert grand pianos came to fruition, thanks to the efforts of a century’s worth of expert craftsmen and musicians. Yamaha Corporation was established in 1887 as a piano and reed organ manufacturer by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan. The company's beginnings as a musical instrument manufacturer are still seen today in the group's logo—three of interlocking tuning forks. 1900 – 1949 The first piano to be made in Japan built in 1900. It was an upright piano made by Torakusu Yamaha, founder of Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd. — later renamed Yamaha Corporation. Just two years later, the Nippon Gakki factory produced its first grand piano. During this initial period, the company was focused on manufacturing instruments for the Japanese market, where appreciation for Western classical music was still relatively new. Nonetheless, Torakusu did send one of his pianos to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where it earned an Honorary Grand Prize. Yamaha grand piano c. 1902 By the 1920s, Yamaha craftsmen were traveling overseas regularly to learn the latest European piano production techniques. In 1926, the company asked Ale Schlegel, an expert piano technician from Germany, to meet with the craftsmen at the Nippon Gakki facilities in Hamamatsu, Japan to discuss piano making in extensive detail. Schlegel’s advice yielded a superior and improved product. In a short time, well-known European pianists were taking notice of Yamaha instruments, among them Leo Sirota andArthur Rubinstein. 1950 – 1959 In 1950, Yamaha released the FC concert grand piano to great praise. Encouraged by that model’s success, the company built one new facility after another in its continuing mission to build an even better piano. In 1956, the company finished work on Japan’s first computer-controlled artificial drying room, where the moisture content of wood — a critical factor for any piano — can be adjusted to the optimum level after the natural drying process is concluded. In 1958, Yamaha established a grand piano assembly line at its Hamamatsu headquarters. Computer-controlled wood drying in the Yamaha factory. 1960 – 1969 At the start of the 1960s, Yamaha made a major move, creating a new company in the United States, to their feedback was then incorporated into further new designs. Finally, in November 1967, the CF concert grand piano was unveiled during a banquet at Tokyo’s Hotel Okura. Playing the piano on that occasion was Wilhelm Kempff, who went on to call it “one of the top pianos in the world.” The CF, along with the simultaneously introduced C3 grand piano, took the world by storm — with a little help from an all-time great. Sviatoslav Richter first encountered a CF at a January 1969 concert in Padua, Italy. The Russian maestro chose to play one again later that year at the Menton Music Festival in France, after plsying several pianos from different manufacturers during his rehearsals. Richter played (and praised) Yamaha pianos from that point on, marking the beginning of a lsting relationship with the company that would endure for the rest of his life. 1970 – 1979 During Sviatoslav Richter’s first Japanese tour in 1970, he performed at the Osaka World’s Fair on a CF that had the serial number 1000000 which is the one-millionth piano manufactured by Yamaha. Slowly but surely, European music festivals adopted the CF as their official piano, including the Antibes, Saint Tropez and Menton Festivals in France. 1980 – 1989 Another legendary pianist, Glen Gould, was drawn to Yamaha in 1980. He purchased two CFs that year and used them on the last three albums he made before his tragically early death in 1982 at the age of 50. This includes his second reading of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, which is now regarded as an all-time classic. With new concert halls popping up all over Japan at that time, Yamaha craftsmen were motivated to develop a concert grand piano for a new generation. Building on the CF’s achievements, they again went to work developing a series of prototypes, each of which was evaluated by top pianists. Krystian Zimerman was so happy with his that he brought it with him on a European tour. After further advancements, Yamaha craftsmen unveiled the CFIII in 1983 and it was an instant hit. The CFII was designated as the official piano of East Germany’s International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, Poland’s International Chopin Piano Competition and the Soviet Union’s International Tchaikovsky Competition. Yamaha also invented a new kind of piano in the 1980s with the Disklavier, which made its American debut in 1987 (an earlier model dubbed the Piano Player was introduced in Japan in 1982). Originally produced as an acoustic piano equipped with electronic controls for recording and playback, it has been updated and refined as technology has evolved in the decades since. 1990 – 1999 In 1991, Yamaha attained the impressive manufacturing landmark of five million pianos. At that time the company also introduced the successor to its CF and CFIII concert grand pianos: the CFIIIS. At the Moscow Conservatory in July 1998, a Russian pianist named Denis Matsuev won the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition’s top prize performing on a Yamaha CFIIIS. 2000 – 2009 The Japanese music community celebrated in 2002 when Ayako Uehara won the 12th International Tchaikovsky Competition. She was both the first Japanese winner and also the first female winner in the history of the contest — and she won it playing on a Yamaha CFIIIS. A decade that marked the 100th anniversary of Yamaha’s piano production also saw the CFIIIS be adopted as the official piano of more than 20 major international competitions. 2010 – Present After 19 years of research and development, the Yamaha CF Series concert grand piano, successor to the CFIII, debuted in May 2010. Later that year, the winners of both the National (U.S.) and International Chopin Piano Competitions made history playing a CFX piano. In 2016, Yamaha commemorated the Disklavier’s 30th anniversary by releasing its seventh iteration, the ENSPIRE. In that same year, Yamaha was awarded a prestigious “Top 100 Global Innovator” award from Thomson Reuters for the third year in a row. 2017 is marked by the launch of the SX Series, a premium grand piano line incorporating A.R.E., the wood-reforming process that was used in top product lines of other Yamaha divisions.

- [5 Tips That Will Help A Beginner Learn Piano!](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/5-tips-that-will-help-a-beginner-learn-piano-1):
  Are you eager to learn to play an instrument like the piano? If you’re still in the research phase, you may be wondering: is it hard to learn piano? 1. Learning Without A Piano Teacher A piano teacher can make learning the instrument easier by… Establishing good habits: A large part of playing the piano successfully is learning the correct muscle memory of posture, hand position, and finger movement. While working under the instruction of a piano teacher doesn’t guarantee you will become a concert pianist, it can help you not learn those bad habits. Making stylistic corrections: Piano music sounds best when it is played at the proper volume, rhythm, and tempo. It’s also easiest to play if you incorporate the correct fingering and hand movement. You may not realize your own mistakes without the help of a piano teacher by your side to point them out for correction. This one-on-one feedback is impossible to get from a textbook or online tutorial and is key to progressing to the next level. Providing teaching materials: A private teacher can recognize specific areas where you’re struggling and recommend extra study exercises to help you improve. Without this extra push, you might struggle with a certain part of music theory for much longer than necessary. Holding you accountable: You’re much more likely to achieve your playing goals if you have someone to hold you accountable. Your piano teacher will set certain expectations and hold you accountable for them, making it more difficult for you to give in to the temptation to slack on practice or quit. 2) Take the Time To Practice Is it hard to learn piano? Certainly, but how hard it is depends on how willing you are to practice! The bulk of advancement in playing is done away from your teacher during regular practice. If you only practice once or twice between your weekly lessons, you probably won’t progress at the pace you wish. It’s a waste of money to hire a teacher if you refuse to put in the time in between lessons. As a general rule of thumb, strive to practice for at least 30 minutes every day. You have to put in the time if you want to see improvement from week to week. Seeing yourself improve is rewarding and motivating and makes it all worthwhile. 3) Be Patient and Consistent It’s not impossible to learn the piano if you have no prior musical experience; just expect it to take you a little longer at the start to master the fundamentals of reading music. After all, everyone needs to start somewhere! Be patient with yourself, stay focused, and remain focused and positive! 4) Practicing on a Cheap Keyboard Without a proper 88-key piano, or at the very least an 88 key weighted keyboard, you’re limiting yourself and making it harder to learn the instrument. Why add an extra element that could frustrate you as you attempt to learn piano? The best option to give you the most authentic playing experience possible as a beginner is an upright piano. There’s nothing quite like the sound of a concert grand, but an upright piano is more economical for your budget and space. If you travel to your piano teacher’s home or studio, it’s likely that they give lessons on an acoustic piano as opposed to a digital keyboard. Having an instrument at home consistent with the one you use in your lessons can certainly help. 5) Having Too High or Too Low of Expectations Keep your expectations realistic: don’t start piano lessons thinking you’ll be playing Beethoven tomorrow! It’s important that you learn the basics first and build a strong foundation. That means learning one-handed songs and basic melodies before you ever move to more complicated works. If you jump into a piece that’s well above your skill level, you’ll likely get frustrated and have the urge to quit. With all of this in mind, it’s easy to see the benefits of taking piano lessons as opposed to learning on your own. Just about every factor that impacts the difficulty of learning the piano ties back into whether you have a private teacher at your side, helping you as you hone your new skills. In this way, finding a qualified teacher is the first step toward mastering a new musical instrument.

  With over 10,000 parts inside, pianos will almost always encounter issues that need to be addressed. Many seasoned piano players are also technicians diagnosing and fixing minor problems with their piano. Not every issue requires a professional expensive technician to repair it. Some issues are small and some are big, today we discuss the top 5 piano issues. 1. Sticky Keys - can be a number of causes from the key slip, felt or wood swelling or warping etc. 2. Trap Work - the pedals can sometimes be an easy intuitive fix with a slipped rod or dowel. 3. Tuning - tuning a piano is important to not only make the instrument sound its best but to also keep it in good condition by keeping the proper tension on all the strings and components. Your piano tuner is key for identifying other problems that may need to be addressed. 4. Voicing - voicing can change the color of a piano's sound. Changing the tone quality and making a piano "brighter" or "warmer" is accomplished through voicing. 5. Regulation - refers to how the action feels and responds to the fingers.

- [Why Are Pianos So Expensive?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/why-are-pianos-so-expensive):
  People are sometimes taken aback by the price tag when looking for a new piano and ask the question; why are pianos so expensive? Quality pianos are not typically produced in large quantities and are assembled, often by hand, from rather expensive materials. The construction, assembly and finishing in producing these instruments are all learned craft skills that take time to master. Pianos are precision instruments required to stay in tune for long periods of time, and are often said to get better with age, with the soundboard becoming more resonant.

- [Top 10 Things To Know Before Buying A Yamaha Piano](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/top-10-things-to-know-before-buying-a-yamaha-piano):
  Yamaha is the most popular consumer piano manufacturer in the world. For over a century, Yamaha has blended a tradition of Japanese craftsmanship with innovations in modern materials and sound to create pianos of exceptional tone and breathtaking beauty. Yamaha Pianos provide an incredible value and we want to give you know 10 things to know before buying a Yamaha piano. 1. Yamaha's Story: Yamaha started back in 1887 making reed organs. Originally watchmakers, they moved into making pianos in 1900. Mr Yamaha died in 1960 and the company continued to produce pianos as well as motorcycles and other leisure products. 2. Manufacturing Size: Yamaha is the largest manufacturer of musical instruments in the world. 3. Product Categories: Yamaha invests a lot in R&D and is continually producing innovations in the piano market. Examples of this are their Disklavier, Transacoustic, Hybrid and Silent Piano lines. Also, the premium digital piano lines CVP, CSP CLP often are trailblazing the way forward for digital piano technology. 4. Manufacturer Partnerships: From working with Kawai in the beginning and working with Pearl River in the mid 1990's, Yamaha has a history of working with other companies. Yamaha bought Bosendorfer in 2008 and is rumored to have incorporated many of the manufacturing techniques from Bosendorfer in its latest piano designs. 5. The Used/Grey Market: Imported Yamaha pianos from Japan are now Yamaha pianos greatest competition. A bias against used products in Japan, led to a whole industry of exporting used pianos to the US. The quality, build and price of these used pianos is hard to pass over for many US piano customers. Sometimes called “gray market” pianos, there is a myth that these pianos don’t hold up well in the US climate - but the rebuttal to this myth is - which US climate? Central Arizona? Florida Coast? Colorado Mountains? Etc. 6. Made in the USA: Yamaha Pianos produced for the U.S. market have been manufactured in US locations from the mid 1980's to the early 2000's. Thomaston, Georgia and South Haven, Michigan produced many pianos for the US market. 7. Yamaha's Technology: From the Disklavier player piano to in home digitals, Yamaha has led the way in piano technology for decades. 8. School Endorsements: Yamaha has been embraced and trusted by schools, universities and institutions throughout the world for generations. These endorsements have helped to strengthen the reputation of the company. 9. Technician's Friend: We hear it all the time. Yamaha pianos are dependable and easy to service and work on. As instruments age they often require more maintenance and Yamaha has a reputation of quality and holding on to their playability through years use. 10. Yamaha's Logo: The Yamaha recognizable logo is comprised of 3 tuning forks in a circle.

  Kawai’s latest update to the NV5S continues the awesome evolution of the NOVUS series of pianos. Featuring the acclaimed Millennium III Hybrid upright piano action with real damper mechanism, Bluetooth MIDI / audio connectivity, and impressive sounds like the inspiring Shigeru Kawai SK-EX grand piano sounds. With a large LCD touchscreen and an ultra-compact cabinet design, the NV5S piano's unique hybrid technology delivers a true acoustic playing experience and it just may be the BEST hybrid upright you can buy.

The specially adapted Millennium III Hybrid keyboard action utilized by the NV5S replaces traditional felt hammers with new ABS equivalents that are individually graded in weight from bass to treble. High-precision optical sensors take the place of metal strings, precisely reading the subtle movements of each hammer as the corresponding keys are played.NV5S Action UPRIGHT PIANO DAMPER MECHANISMNV5S Damper Pedal In addition to featuring a full acoustic upright piano keyboard action, the Novus NV5S incorporates a real upright piano damper mechanism. While there are no strings inside the NV5S to require physical damping, this unique feature replicates the true weighting of an upright piano damper pedal, while also mechanically easing the keyboard action’s touch weight as the pedal is pressed. SHIGERU KAWAI SK-EX CONCERT GRAND PIANO SOUND The magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano is at the heart of the Novus NV5S hybrid digital piano. Widely regarded as the “premier pianos of Japan”, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. In order to faithfully reproduce the stunning sound of a Shigeru digitally, Kawai has developed SK-EX Rendering – a meticulously robust piano sound engine that blends multi-channel, 88-key sampling with the latest resonance modelling technology. Multichannel sampling captures the sound from different points of the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano, allowing a broader range of tonal characteristics to be reproduced, and providing a more lively, authentic response to changes in dynamics. This naturally expressive sound is further enriched by newly developed resonance algorithms, which physically model the complex tonal interactions produced by the strings, pedals, and various other parts of an acoustic piano, giving players the impression that they’re sitting at a living, breathing instrument.

Check out the new coverage below. I’ve heard rave reviews from trusted technicians for years, but when I finally got the chance to play a Kawai grand, I knew why they loved them. The touch, the tone … I could play it all day!" - Melody Stroth Melody Stroth received degrees from both the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music (Master of Music) and Oklahoma Baptist University (Bachelor of Music) in piano performance. Her major teachers have been Richard Cass and Charlotte Martin. A nationally certified teacher of music (NCTM), Melody has been recognized as the winner of the first National Federation of Music Clubs Ouida Keck Award for outstanding teachers, the recipient of the Kansas Music Teachers Association Outstanding Teacher of the Year award and the NFMC Missouri Church Musician of the Year.

  The Baldwin SD-10 can be heard on countless recordings and it has a certain characteristic of letting the music shine without adding too much tonal coloring. In their prime, Baldwin pianos were widely considered one of the best American pianos one could buy, and maybe the only true rival to the New York Steinway. This instrument is all original with internal parts that remain in very fine condition as if the piano was seldom used. Many professional pianists and piano teachers call us asking if we have used Baldwin grand pianos for sale and we usually have to disappoint them. Equally rare are 9-foot concert grand models like this piano, by any manufacturer. Concert grand pianos like this one are not in high demand, but if you have a concert venue or church that needs one, nothing less will satisfy your piano needs.

  Being a musician can be expensive. It can be hard to spend what seems like a lot of money on a piano or keyboard, especially when just starting out. Where a free or cheap piano or keyboard will often have a quality that is limited, paying a bit more can add a substantial amount of value and longevity to the instrument you ultimately get. A cheap piano or keyboard can also instill bad habits that could be avoided with a better initial purchase. Spending a bit more can provide an instrument that is ergonomically correct and allows for proper technique development. You want to enjoy the instrument you purchase, just because you got a great deal doesn't necessarily mean it is the instrument that will inspire you and be a joy to play. We did a video including 5 reasons to buy a cheap piano but here in this video, we go over 5 reasons NOT to buy a cheap piano or keyboard.

  The Yamaha DGX-670 Portable Grand Piano is a welcome new edition to the keyboard line. Everything we loved about the DGX-660 with awesome new features and there is no price increase! Enjoy everything from straight-ahead piano playing to playing along with other instruments. In addition to the high quality of the piano, the advanced Automatic Accompaniment Styles provide backing in a wide range of musical genres including pop, R&B, and jazz. Display sheet music to aid practice, connect to smartphones, microphones, and other equipment, and discover the many other ways to enjoy music with this feature-packed instrument. High piano quality Only Yamaha can offer the elite quality of the DGX-670 piano Voices. From tonal variation that responds to the player’s touch to the sympathetic resonance of grand pianos, the impressive sound represents an authentic piano-playing experience only an acoustic piano manufacturer can deliver. The world-class concert grand, Yamaha CFX Voice The Yamaha flagship 9’ CFX concert grand piano, offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass combined in a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. Enjoy every bit of that expressive control with the DGX-670. The DGX-670 offers a wide range of Voices in addition to the piano, from 630 realistic-sounding instruments including electric pianos, organs, and strings, to catchy synthesized sounds. The advanced Automatic Accompaniment Styles make it possible to jam with any number of other “musicians,” from a combo to a big band. There are 263 accompaniment Styles including rock, R&B, and dance. Enjoy an experience that feels just like playing a live session in a band. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) In a grand piano, strings and sounds resonate throughout the entire body of the instrument producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. Not only are the strings you are playing vibrating, but other strings ring as a reaction to ones you play. This is one reason the piano sound is so complex and rich. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the DGX-670 through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) which calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard from one instant to the next. As a result, the DGX-670 reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in playing an acoustic piano such as which keys are pressed, the strength with which the keys are played and pedal timing. Customize your piano playing experience Simple and intuitive controls let you choose from different piano and instrument Voices. Try the acoustics in a rehearsal room, on a stage, in a cathedral, and other venues, and experiment with how far to open the grand piano lid to gain a feel for the subtle differences in sound. Authentic piano touch, 88-note weighted GHS keyboard The Yamaha Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard features a weighted action with heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, just like the hammers inside an acoustic piano. Great for the aspiring pianist, practicing on the GHS action builds the proper finger technique and strength for when the time comes to perform on an acoustic piano. Powerful speaker system The two-way system features round 12-cm speakers for impressive mid and bass, and a tweeter for dazzling treble. The piano sound is designed to feel immersive from the bench, and the accompaniment is optimized for impact. The Stereophonic Optimizer—a new kind of headphone experience When using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer lets players enjoy the dispersed sound heard when sitting in front of an acoustic piano. With the Stereophonic Optimizer, Voices sampled from acoustic pianos appear to come from the body of the instrument. This provides a comfortable, natural experience that removes the drawbacks of performing with headphones. Adaptive Style - Accompaniment that automatically adjusts to your playing intensity. The DGX-670 is equipped with Adaptive Style, a function that automatically analyzes your playing in real time and arranges accompaniment to suit the mood of the music. Play with more intensity, and Adaptive Style ramps up the accompaniment; switch to a mellower mood, and the Adaptive Style mellows out along with you. The accompaniment joins you wherever you are at any given time, giving every tune the thrilling feel of a live performance. Simple Style - Minimal accompaniment for a simpler sound When you want to make things simpler and highlight the instrument Voice you're playing, one push of a button is all it takes to strip the accompaniment down to rhythm and bass. Smart Chord - Pro chords, played simply! Smart Chord makes you sound like a pro, even if you’re just learning how to play. With a single finger on your left hand, Smart Chord will create entire chords from simple pop triads to complex jazz 7th and 9th chords. Accompaniment Styles create the rest of your virtual band so you can get straight to playing music. Unison & Accent Unison & Accent are functions that open up a wide array of expressive capabilities. With Unison, you play a phrase while pressing the foot pedal, making the accompaniment Style play in unison with you. This lets you perform signature lines found in iconic songs or create your own signature licks for the whole band to follow. Accent lets you add rhythmic "shots" to accentuate notes of your choice simply by playing a little harder. 630 high-quality instrument Voices Equipped with 630 varied, high-quality Voices including stunning pianos, electric pianos, organs, brass, strings, percussion, and more. From breathy saxophones to ringing guitars and warm, resonant strings, the DGX-670 impressively replicates sounds down to the finest nuances. Thanks to acclaimed Super Articulation technology, the distinctive characteristics of each instrument are reproduced in incredible detail as you play. Connect wirelessly for Bluetooth® audio You can play music through the audio system on the DGX-670 by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. Enjoy playing along with your favorite songs directly from your smart device! Identify the chords in your favorite songs using the Chord Tracker app! The Yamaha Chord Tracker app for smart device helps practicing and performance by extracting the chord sequence of an audio song stored on your device. * Not compatible with songs from subscription services or streaming services. Song files must be owned. Plug-in a microphone for karaoke or singing while you play Since a microphone can be connected to this instrument and Song lyrics can be shown on the display, you can enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or along with Song playback. Moreover, you can apply various studio-quality effects such as chorus to your singing voice. You can also cancel the vocal part on audio recordings, letting you sing along with (or instead of!) your favorite artists and groups, and enjoy performing even more. Audio Play & Recording Audio files (WAV format) saved to a USB flash drive can be played back on the instrument. You can also record your performance as audio files to a USB flash drive–making it easy to edit your recordings on computer as desired, and share them over the Internet. Lesson features The Lesson features are a fun way to learn and master Songs, with notation shown on the display. For example, when you practice the right-hand part, the playback of the left part and other parts will wait for you to play the notes correctly. This allows you to practice melodies and phrases smoothly—even if you are a beginner. Optional stand and pedal Add the DGX-670 furniture stand (L-300) and piano-style pedal (LP-1) for an even more comfortable piano playing experience.

- [Piano Voicing (Tone Regulating) Explained](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/piano-voicing-tone-regulating-explained):
  Piano voicing, also known as tone regulating, is usually referring to the process of adjusting the parts of the piano to produce a change in the tonal quality aiming for a desired sound. You are never stuck with a piano sounding the way it does and there are many variables that can change voicing; from simply using the pedals to affect tone or having a technician re-align, re-shape, or alter the density of the felts covering the hammers striking the string to produce a warmer or brighter tone. Some things that affect voicing include hardness” or “softness” of the hammer felt, the weight of each hammer, the shape (“crown”) of the soundboard, a piano’s case design and construction, materials used throughout the piano, and the placement of your piano in a room. On a basic level, each individual playing the same instrument can produce different tonal qualities or voice just from their unique playing style. There are a number of artists who use a prepared pianos; tacks on the hammers, alternative tunings, items placed inside can add unique texture when the piano is played. Let's take a closer look at piano voicing...

  Today we are cross-training piano and guitar. With a piano, the notes and relationships between the notes are laid out like a map to see and study whereas the guitar fretboard is more pattern based and the theory can sometimes be hidden in the fretboard. Often when a guitar player learns some basic piano it can help them to make connections and then be able to apply them to become a better guitar player. A piano player can also learn some things from learning guitar or working with guitarists as well. Join Ted and Cooper have a little chat and jam doing some musical cross-training with white Keys.

- [What's The Deal With Hybrid Pianos?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/whats-the-deal-with-hybrid-pianos):
  Today we are talking about hybrid pianos and uncovering some of the mystery that lies in one of the most confusing terms in the music industry. We see the term "hybrid" a lot lately and in the piano world, and unfortunately, it doesn't mean just one thing. It could be an acoustic piano that is also a digital, or you can have a digital piano that incorporates acoustic elements like real action, wood soundboards, etc. We have come a long way from the original "silent pianos" with rudimentary samples to today's hybrids that can almost be considered super pianos. Join Pat and Ted as they explain the deal with hybrid pianos. For decades, acoustic and digital pianos were positioned on opposite ends of the keyboard musical instrument spectrum. Acoustic pianos were meant for the “purists” who would only accept a traditional instrument with a non-amplified tone and only organic wooden-key touch. Digital pianos were left for the “progressives” who coveted the many exciting capabilities of the digital realm. Some players found the perfect balance by owning one of each type of these. But, it was only a matter of time before the unique strengths of these opposite directions would unite, allowing players to harness the best attributes of each housed in a single instrument.

- [Modeling VS Sampling | Which Makes Better Digital Piano Sounds?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/modeling-vs-sampling-which-makes-better-digital-piano-sounds-1):
  When it comes to digital pianos, the main challenge facing engineers is the task at hand to reproduce two things accurately: the sound, (tone) and the feel (touch) of an acoustic piano. When you press an acoustic piano key, it activates a hammer, which then strikes string(s), which, in turn, vibrates and makes a sound. Add to that the complex tonal interactions, such as string resonance, damper resonance, cabinet resonance, and natural reverberation, then you see Digital Piano manufacturers have their work cut out for them reproducing this complex sound. Currently, digital pianos use one or a combination of the methods of Sampling and Digital Modeling to reproduce the sound of an acoustic piano and other musical instruments. We are here today to delve into the question of Modeling VS Sampling...which is better? WHAT ARE SAMPLES? A sample is a short audio recording of a musical instrument’s sound, or of any other sound (ocean waves, sirens, wind, etc.). Samples can also be excerpts from recorded songs. For example, a five-second drum beat from a funk song can be a sample. In this article, we’ll focus on samples used to reproduce the sound of musical instruments, namely the acoustic piano. Usually, acoustic piano samples are recorded at multiple velocity levels (multi-samples) so that they naturally respond to the way you play the digital piano's keys, translating touch (from the softest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo). The higher the quality of these samples and the technologies used to create (or record) them, the more realistic and accurate the final product will be. In recent years, technology has become so advanced that high-end digital pianos provide sound that’s nearly indistinguishable from a real piano. In a professional recording studio, with a perfectly tuned acoustic piano (often a grand piano), manufacturers record each note played at different volumes using an array of high-fidelity microphones. So even though the process is roughly the same for all manufacturers, all digital pianos sound the same because of a multitude of factors: 1) The individual acoustic piano used to record the sound and the unique condition of that instrument. 2) The recording equipment used to capture the sound. 3) The placement of the mic(s) during the recording has limitless variations. 4) The acoustic environment or room where the sampling process was recorded. 5) The post-production and algorithms used to model complex tonal interactions, such as string resonance, damper resonance, cabinet resonance, natural reverberation, etc. 6) The time length of the samples and the amount of memory dedicated to the samples on a digital piano. 7) The number of touch velocity layers recorded for each note. The more touch velocity layers, the more natural volume transitions and better expressiveness you get. ---------------------------------------- Generally, more memory means that longer/higher-quality samples with more velocity layers can be stored on a digital piano. But, of course, higher-quality equals a higher cost. Cheaper digital piano models have less memory, so manufacturers have to take a slightly different approach. Rather than recording each individual key of an acoustic piano, they record every second or third note and then fill in the space between by stretching the samples using modeling technologies. Another common practice is, to avoid using too much sampling data, many manufacturers cut off a part of the sample to reduce its size. For example, when you depress the sustain pedal and play, say, C3 on an acoustic piano, the note will continue to resonate for well over 10 seconds. Many lower-tier digital pianos will only play back the first 3-5 seconds of the real sampled recording, then loop the that sample so that the same part is played over and over, but with gradually decreasing volume to mimic natural decay. While this helps to create a perception of a longer decay, it’s not really the same decay that you hear on an acoustic piano, which is much more complex and dynamic than a simple volume decrease. The same applies to velocity layers. If there’s only one or two velocity layers recorded for each note on a digital piano, it becomes very difficult to reproduce the touch and wide dynamic range of an acoustic piano. For an acoustic piano, depending on how hard or soft you press the keys, the sound changes not only in volume but also in character. So, just making it a matter of simple volume change, is an oversimplification. Now, if one is a beginner, you may not even notice these subtle nuances, and since manufacturers do try to make those transitions as smooth and realistic as possible it may be perfectly acceptable to ones ears. However, if you have a more trained ear, this type of sound could become a thing that bothers you because you notice it every time you play the instrument. ---------------------------------------- WHAT IS PHYSICAL MODELING? Another interesting technology that has been gaining popularity is called Physical Modeling. Unlike sampling, which records the actual sound of an acoustic piano at different velocities, physical modeling basically recreates the piano sound from scratch. Various modeling techniques and advanced software recreate the physical behavior of the acoustic piano, in which hundreds of elements interact with each other, making up the ultimate “perfectly imperfect” sound that we hear. While sampling is still the most popular technology in digital pianos today, you’ll hardly find a digital piano that doesn’t use some kind of modeling in conjunction with its samples (e.g., for string resonance, damper resonance, etc.) to further improve the sound and make it sound more natural. There are also some digital pianos that use purely modeled piano sound with no samples at all. For example, most Roland high-end digital pianos today feature the new Roland FP-90X sound generator that uses only physical modeling to produce the sound. There are also various VST plugins (Virtual Studio Technology) that provide highly detailed piano modeled sounds and effects.

- [Roland FP-90X vs FP-30X Digital Piano Comparison - Best Features & Sounds](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/roland-fp-90x-vs-fp-30x-digital-piano-comparison-best-features-sounds):
  We really like the new FPX series from Roland and so we are continuing to bring you videos featuring this cool new line of portable digital pianos AKA keyboards. Today we are comparing the slim and stylish FP-30X and the Pure Acoustic modeling FP-90X from Roland. Both of these have a lot to offer and so in this video we are going over some of the best features of each to see why you might want to choose one over the other. Onboard tones, including a Piano tone so authentic, you’ll think it’s an acoustic Super authentic tone is produced by digitally recreating all the physical interactions within an acoustic piano, the SuperNATURAL Piano engine at the heart of the FP-10, FP-30X, and FP-60X doesn’t just relay the notes you play—it also captures how you play them, allowing seasoned pianists to perform with unrestricted expression, from subtle pianissimo to pounding fortissimo. The FP-60X adds rich ambience effects that replicate a variety of sonic environments. And when your music demands the best, the FP-90X steps up with PureAcoustic Piano Modeling taken from our premium instruments, plus PureAcoustic Ambience that simulates what it sounds like playing in a diverse range of venues, from studios to massive halls. Also included is a wide variety of sounds for any musical genre. In addition to the best traditional piano tones, the FP-X series offers the best traditional piano tones, you’re supported with a comprehensive selection of onboard sounds, from pro-level electric pianos to strings, organs, synthesizers, and more. Real-feel keyboards that feel like a traditional grand You’ve never played a portable piano like the models in the FP-X series. Designed without compromise, the FP-10, FP-30X, and FP-60X all feature our PHA-4 Standard keyboard, offering authentic hammer action, escapement, and ivory feel keys that respond to even the subtlest touch, letting your musical personality shine through. And when you invest in the FP-90X, you’ll discover the PHA-50, a revolutionary hybrid keyboard whose wood and composite build feels exactly like an acoustic grand—without the need for maintenance. Sonic versatility for every playing situation The FP-30X, FP-60X, and FP-90X feature output jacks that let you connect to external speakers for gigging. But they might not even be necessary in every situation, thanks to surprisingly powerful and punchy onboard speaker systems that offer increasing performance as you move up the range. And for private practice, all FP-X models include headphones outputs and immersive ambience effects that make studying as inspiring as performing. Expand your musical horizons The FP-X series supports the demands of modern musicians for smartphone-based online learning and entertainment. All four models offer Bluetooth MIDI and USB connectivity, while the FP-30X, FP-60X, and FP-90X also include Bluetooth audio. These forward-thinking features open up infinite creative possibilities, from playing along to music streamed through your piano’s speakers to working with YouTube lessons and the ever-growing range of music apps for mobile devices and computers. Introduction to the Roland FP-30X Digital Piano The FP30X really raises the bar for the entire category, and this will likely be a very popular model in time. The FP30 was already one of the top instruments in the category, and with these new improvements, the FP30X makes an even more impressive claim for class superiority. All in all, the FP30X is a worthy follow-up to the Roland FP30. The acoustic piano experience is faithfully recreated as Roland once again raises the bar and essentially issues a formal challenge to the rest of the class. The FP-30X stands tall against competitive products from Yamaha, Kawai, and Casio, with arguably the top action in the class. Add Roland’s legendary durability with the latest tech, the FP-30X serves up an all-around package that will turn the heads of even the most seasoned industry professionals, and beginners alike. **Upgrades over the FP30 include** • Polyphony increased to 256 notes • 21 additional onboard tones for a total of 56 • Bluetooth Audio • Twin ¼” outputs • Increased Data playback options • Compatibility with new Piano Everyday app Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action Returning from the FP30, the Roland FP30X digital piano once again features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 standard keyboard action with Ivory-touch and escapement. This is a professional, high-quality action used throughout Roland’s lineup up to the $2,000 mark, at which point the action shifts to the PHA50. This really demonstrates the FP30X’s exceptional value – a remarkably portable digital piano available for what amounts to slightly more than an entry-level price point. If you told someone 10 years ago that they could get a hammer action grand piano keyboard this good at this price, they would have laughed at you. You’ll also find the in the FP-60X, F701, and the RP701, which is a borderline high-end home digital piano. There’s a nice texture with the ivory feel keys, a well-executed escapement sensation modeled after a real piano, and is quite quiet as far as digital piano key actions go due to its solid construction. The total range of sensitivity expression may not be as large as Roland’s higher-end actions, the PHA-50, and Hybrid Grand action, but it’s still widely regarded as the top action in the class. Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s Renowned SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine The FP-30X utilizes Roland’s highly regarded Supernatural Piano Sound Engine with built-in ambience effects. This engine is also a mainstay throughout Roland’s lineup under the $2,500 price mark. It’s got 256 notes of polyphony – literally double the polyphony of the FP-30 – meaning the odds of ever running out of juice with this sound engine, even if playing complex classical music, are slim. They’ve doubled up the onboard acoustic piano tones to 12 and beefed up the electric piano tones to 20, while offering 24 various additional tones, such as strings and synthesizers. There’s a solid 22 amplifier running the two-speaker system – you won’t need any additional power for home use, but you should be performing in a professional setting, there’s a ¼” out port for quick connectivity to an external amp or PA. Roland FP-30X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity One of the most surprising upgrades with the FP-30X is the inclusion of Bluetooth Audio, as this feature is generally reserved for instruments at a higher price point. Bluetooth Audio turns your instrument into a large Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from a smart device. The FP-30X retains MIDI Bluetooth wireless connectivity, which means you don’t need to bother with cables when connecting to mobile devices to access apps such as Roland’s Piano Designer, which gives the user an enormous amount of control over the piano sound. Additional music apps you’ll want to check out include Garage Band and Sheet Music Direct, among many others. Another nice upgrade is the inclusion of L/MONO, R ¼” output connectors. With the FP-30, if you wanted to connect to an amp you had to use the headphone port which is less than ideal. The presence of twin ¼” outputs solidifies the FP30X as a true gigging instrument. The FP-30X also has an on-board option to connect USB memory to capture songs recorded with the onboard recording function. FP-30X’s Notable Features It’s simple, but the combination of tone and touch the FP30X delivers is seriously tough to beat for the price – definitely the main highlight of this instrument. • Roland’s famous SuperNATURAL Piano engine • PHA-4 Standard 88-note action with escapement and ivory-feel keys • Onboard 22W stereo amplifier and two stereo speakers delivers great sound • Headphone output lets you play at all hours • Compact and lightweight for those on the go • Bluetooth wireless connectivity with Android and Apple iOS (Audio and MIDI) lets you use the FP-30X with popular apps • Dual and split modes for duets and self-accompaniment • A broad selection of non-piano sounds • Metronome • Twin Piano mode • 30 internal songs • USB-to-device memory slot lets you: • Save songs recorded with a built-in SMF recorder • Play along with favorite songs in WAV or SMF format • USB-to-host port lets you connect with your computer • Optional DP10 sustain pedal/damper pedal with half-damper control Optional three-pedal unit (KPD-70, which can also be used as a hands-free page-turner with some sheet music apps) and optional matching stand (KSC-70) available as add-on accessories provide a classic piano look. ---------------------------------------- Introduction to the Roland FP-90X Digital Piano FP-90X with best-in-class PureAcoustic Piano Modeling The Roland FP90X is the brand new upgrade to the class-leading FP90. Built with the working professional in mind, the FP90X is an all-in-one portable piano that can confidently go toe-to-toe with any other comparable instrument on the market. With the class-leading PHA50 wood/plastic hybrid action, Roland’s latest Pure Acoustic modeling engine, and powerhouse onboard speaker system, the FP90X makes a strong case for the heavyweight title of the professional, all-in-one portable class. Roland is probably the most recognizable name in digital pianos, and for good reason, considering how many professional keyboardists ultimately elect to go with a Roland as their primary gigging instrument. Roland’s FP series has been going strong for 30 years, and to mark the 30 year anniversary that just passed, Roland has upgraded the FP line with the new FPX series. The FP90X is the top quality, flagship model of the line, and it replaces the FP90 which was widely regarded as one of the top instruments in the portable all-in-one class. The FP90X featured Roland’s brand new PureAcoustic engine (replacing the SuperNATURAL piano engine), the same sound engine in Roland’s top-of-the-line LX home digital series. This engine gives full modeling technology to the acoustic piano tones, allowing for highly expressive, real-time generation of piano tone. Modeled engines also offer a deeper layer of customization options, essentially allowing you to shape and mold the tone with scalpel-like precision. All of this tone is being delivered via a robust multi-channel speaker system, and there’s a handy 3-slider equalizer on-board to allow you to make adjustments on the fly. Upgrades over the FP-90 include a new and improved sound engine, new ambience settings, improved speaker design, and added controls. There are more than 300 total onboard sounds, with a huge variety of e pianos, strings, classic organs, and synthesizers, offering maximum flexibility for whatever the situation calls for. It also even has a mic input, a relative rarity for these types of instruments, so if that’s important to you, you’ll be pleased to find it here. All in all, the Roland FP90X is a snapshot of what one of the top digital piano manufacturers of all time is currently offering, and with fantastic warranty coverage, you’ve got little to be concerned about regarding longevity. Compare against the Yamaha P515 and Kawai ES920.

Compare against the Yamaha P515 and Kawai ES920. Roland FP-90X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-50 Keyboard Action The Roland FP90X uses their second-best action – the PHA-50 hybrid keyboard action, with a blend of wood components, escapement, and overall, replicates a grand piano action even better than the PHA4. It provides an excellent and accurate MIDI output, a properly weighted action that will satisfy even the most discerning classical pianists, and an ivory and ebony key texture that provides the right blend of grip and slip for both dry and humid environments. This action is also highly durable, as our Director of Sales Stu Harrison can personally attest to having played this action in his RD-2000 over 100’s of gigs. Most modern, high-end digital piano actions are fairly durable, though the PHA-50 is deserving of special mention in this regard. Roland FP-90X Features Roland’s Renowned PureAcoustic Modelling Technology Roland uses their brand new and highly sophisticated ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology in the FP90X, which is an entirely sound modelled tone engine (no sampling). This gives musicians real-time control over the sound of their instrument and allows for higher levels of expression and nuance, much like on an acoustic piano. There are certain details of an acoustic piano that are practically impossible to recreate with just sound sampling in a digital instrument, which is why Roland’s approach with their ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology has received such high praise. This sound engine was recently introduced in Roland’s top-quality LX home digital line, and it actually comes as a bit of surprise that they’ve decided to include it in an instrument that costs little more than half of the LX model (LX705). There are two modelled piano sounds in the FP90X, representing the “two main schools” of piano style: European and American. Roland has also found a way to give both of these piano sounds: limitless polyphony. This is a really big deal as it puts literally no limit to the amount of tonal complexity the piano can produce. This combination of a purely modelled tone engine with an unlimited amount of polyphony makes the LX Series pianos from Roland wonderfully engaging and expressive instruments to play and makes them a genuine alternative to an acoustic piano. In terms of other onboard sounds, there’s a variety of Electric pianos, organs, strings, and synths, for a total of 362 onboard sounds. And as far as the speakers are concerned, the FP90X is outfitted with a four-speaker system, powered by 60 watts of amplification. 60 watts is a ton of power for a portable digital piano, meaning there will probably be plenty of professional situations where you won’t even need to connect to an amp. Roland FP-90X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity Roland gives you both Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio on the FP-90X. This means you can stream music directly to the piano to take advantage of the excellent speaker system, and you can also connect your Smartphone or device wirelessly to the piano to have fun with your favorite apps, such as Roland’s own Piano Designer app, or Garageband. In terms of ports, the FP-90X offers 1/4″ L/Mono, R audio output jacks facilitating connection to an external sound system if required. There’s also a mini Stereo input jack as well. There are also traditional MIDI jacks for a wired connection as well. USB to host and USB to device allows you to playback MIDI files, wav files, and audio files, and there’s also multiple Pedal (Damper/R, Sostenuto/C *1, Soft/L *1) jacks: TRS 1/4-inch phone type for direct connection to the 3 pedal unit system. Last but not least, the FP90X also has a 1/4″ stereo headphone jack and a stereo miniature headphone jack for quiet practice. Notable Features If we’re to point to a specific notable feature, while it’s tempting to go with the PureAcoustic engine given how much less you have to spend to access this top engine in the FP90X, we really do have to mention the mic input. Mic inputs are not particularly common among performance level all-in-one portable digital pianos. For some folks, that feature alone is quite important and will instantly vault the FP90X to the top of their wishlist. Roland has added two new mic input-related control knobs, both a volume slider and gain knob, that weren’t present on the FP90. • Authentic grand piano touch from the PHA-50 (Progressive Hammer Action with Escapement) keyboard, which combines wood and molded materials for great feel and lasting durability • Uses the latest PureAcoustic Piano Modeling technology instead of conventional sampling for a far richer, more detailed piano sound • Four speakers provide powerful and rich sound that’s ideal for intimate live performances • Premium selection of electric piano, strings, organ, and synth sounds, along with 30 registrations for storing favorite sound setups, including layers and splits for live performance • Mic input and vocal effects • Connect your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth wireless technology and play along with audio from your apps routed through the piano’s speaker system • Enhance performances with rhythm accompaniments from Roland’s Piano Partner 2 app • Flat, portable cabinet in black or white finishes • Optional KSC-90 stand and KPD-90 pedal (each sold separately) provide an elegant integrated look for home use • Compatible with DP-10 Damper pedal (included) or RPU-3 Triple Pedal (optional)

It provides an excellent and accurate MIDI output, a properly weighted action that will satisfy even the most discerning classical pianists, and an ivory and ebony key texture that provides the right blend of grip and slip for both dry and humid environments. This action is also highly durable, as our Director of Sales Stu Harrison can personally attest to having played this action in his RD-2000 over 100’s of gigs. Most modern, high-end digital piano actions are fairly durable, though the PHA-50 is deserving of special mention in this regard. Roland FP-90X Features Roland’s Renowned PureAcoustic Modelling Technology Roland uses their brand new and highly sophisticated ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology in the FP90X, which is an entirely sound modelled tone engine (no sampling). This gives musicians real-time control over the sound of their instrument and allows for higher levels of expression and nuance, much like on an acoustic piano. There are certain details of an acoustic piano that are practically impossible to recreate with just sound sampling in a digital instrument, which is why Roland’s approach with their ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology has received such high praise. This sound engine was recently introduced in Roland’s top-quality LX home digital line, and it actually comes as a bit of surprise that they’ve decided to include it in an instrument that costs little more than half of the LX model (LX705). There are two modelled piano sounds in the FP90X, representing the “two main schools” of piano style: European and American. Roland has also found a way to give both of these piano sounds: limitless polyphony. This is a really big deal as it puts literally no limit to the amount of tonal complexity the piano can produce. This combination of a purely modelled tone engine with an unlimited amount of polyphony makes the LX Series pianos from Roland wonderfully engaging and expressive instruments to play and makes them a genuine alternative to an acoustic piano. In terms of other onboard sounds, there’s a variety of Electric pianos, organs, strings, and synths, for a total of 362 onboard sounds. And as far as the speakers are concerned, the FP90X is outfitted with a four-speaker system, powered by 60 watts of amplification. 60 watts is a ton of power for a portable digital piano, meaning there will probably be plenty of professional situations where you won’t even need to connect to an amp. Roland FP-90X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity Roland gives you both Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio on the FP-90X. This means you can stream music directly to the piano to take advantage of the excellent speaker system, and you can also connect your Smartphone or device wirelessly to the piano to have fun with your favorite apps, such as Roland’s own Piano Designer app, or Garageband. In terms of ports, the FP-90X offers 1/4″ L/Mono, R audio output jacks facilitating connection to an external sound system if required. There’s also a mini Stereo input jack as well. There are also traditional MIDI jacks for a wired connection as well. USB to host and USB to device allows you to playback MIDI files, wav files, and audio files, and there’s also multiple Pedal (Damper/R, Sostenuto/C *1, Soft/L *1) jacks: TRS 1/4-inch phone type for direct connection to the 3 pedal unit system. Last but not least, the FP90X also has a 1/4″ stereo headphone jack and a stereo miniature headphone jack for quiet practice. Notable Features If we’re to point to a specific notable feature, while it’s tempting to go with the PureAcoustic engine given how much less you have to spend to access this top engine in the FP90X, we really do have to mention the mic input. Mic inputs are not particularly common among performance level all-in-one portable digital pianos. For some folks, that feature alone is quite important and will instantly vault the FP90X to the top of their wishlist. Roland has added two new mic input-related control knobs, both a volume slider and gain knob, that weren’t present on the FP90. • Authentic grand piano touch from the PHA-50 (Progressive Hammer Action with Escapement) keyboard, which combines wood and molded materials for great feel and lasting durability • Uses the latest PureAcoustic Piano Modeling technology instead of conventional sampling for a far richer, more detailed piano sound • Four speakers provide powerful and rich sound that’s ideal for intimate live performances • Premium selection of electric piano, strings, organ, and synth sounds, along with 30 registrations for storing favorite sound setups, including layers and splits for live performance • Mic input and vocal effects • Connect your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth wireless technology and play along with audio from your apps routed through the piano’s speaker system • Enhance performances with rhythm accompaniments from Roland’s Piano Partner 2 app • Flat, portable cabinet in black or white finishes • Optional KSC-90 stand and KPD-90 pedal (each sold separately) provide an elegant integrated look for home use • Compatible with DP-10 Damper pedal (included) or RPU-3 Triple Pedal (optional) FP-90X Invest in the flagship FP-90X for the best of Roland’s acclaimed piano technology. Featuring an endlessly playable PHA-50 hybrid keyboard, PureAcoustic Piano Modeling that brings your music to life, and a four-speaker system that delivers premium, room-filling sound, you’ll simply never play a better portable piano.

- [The NEW Roland FP-30X Portable Digital Piano - DEMO & Overview](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/the-new-roland-fp-30x-portable-digital-piano-demo-overview):
  The FP30 was already one of the top instruments in the category, and with these new improvements, the FP-30X makes an even more impressive claim for class superiority. All in all, the FP30X is a worthy follow-up to the Roland FP30. This slim and stylish portable piano features an enhanced sound engine, more powerful onboard speakers, and increased polyphony. Featuring Roland's SuperNATURAL Piano technology and the same expressive 88-note PHA-4 Standard keyboard as the premium FP-60X, the FP-30X is the perfect home instrument for seasoned players. And with its easy-to-transport weight and Bluetooth connectivity for lessons and play-along audio, it's an ideal choice for any pianist who wants to develop their skills or perform at small events. **Upgrades over the FP30 include** • Polyphony increased to 256 notes • 21 additional onboard tones for a total of 56 • Bluetooth Audio • Twin ¼” outputs • Increased Data playback options • Compatibility with new Piano Everyday app Introduction to the Roland FP-30X Digital Piano Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action Returning from the FP30, the Roland FP30X digital piano once again features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 standard keyboard action with Ivory-touch and escapement. This is a professional, high-quality action used throughout Roland’s lineup up to the $2,000 mark, at which point the action shifts to the PHA50. This really demonstrates the FP30X’s exceptional value – a remarkably portable digital piano available for what amounts to slightly more than an entry-level price point. If you told someone 10 years ago that they could get a hammer action grand piano keyboard this good at this price, they would have laughed at you. You’ll also find the in the FP-60X, F701, and the RP701, which is a borderline high-end home digital piano. There’s a nice texture with the ivory feel keys, a well-executed escapement sensation modeled after a real piano, and is quite quiet as far as digital piano key actions go due to its solid construction. The total range of sensitivity expression may not be as large as Roland’s higher-end actions, the PHA-50, and Hybrid Grand action, but it’s still widely regarded as the top action in the class. Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s Renowned SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine The FP-30X utilizes Roland’s highly regarded Supernatural Piano Sound Engine with built-in ambience effects. This engine is also a mainstay throughout Roland’s lineup under the $2,500 price mark. It’s got 256 notes of polyphony – literally double the polyphony of the FP-30 – meaning the odds of ever running out of juice with this sound engine, even if playing complex classical music, are slim. They’ve doubled up the onboard acoustic piano tones to 12 and beefed up the electric piano tones to 20, while offering 24 various additional tones, such as strings and synthesizers. There’s a solid 22 amplifier running the two-speaker system – you won’t need any additional power for home use, but you should be performing in a professional setting, there’s a ¼” out port for quick connectivity to an external amp or PA. Roland FP-30X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity One of the most surprising upgrades with the FP-30X is the inclusion of Bluetooth Audio, as this feature is generally reserved for instruments at a higher price point. Bluetooth Audio turns your instrument into a large Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from a smart device. The FP-30X retains MIDI Bluetooth wireless connectivity, which means you don’t need to bother with cables when connecting to mobile devices to access apps such as Roland’s Piano Designer, which gives the user an enormous amount of control over the piano sound. Additional music apps you’ll want to check out include Garage Band and Sheet Music Direct, among many others. Another nice upgrade is the inclusion of L/MONO, R ¼” output connectors. With the FP-30, if you wanted to connect to an amp you had to use the headphone port which is less than ideal. The presence of twin ¼” outputs solidifies the FP30X as a true gigging instrument. The FP-30X also has an on-board option to connect USB memory to capture songs recorded with the onboard recording function. FP-30X’s Notable Features It’s simple, but the combination of tone and touch the FP30X delivers is seriously tough to beat for the price – definitely the main highlight of this instrument. • Roland’s famous SuperNATURAL Piano engine • PHA-4 Standard 88-note action with escapement and ivory-feel keys • Onboard 22W stereo amplifier and two stereo speakers delivers great sound • Headphone output lets you play at all hours • Compact and lightweight for those on the go • Bluetooth wireless connectivity with Android and Apple iOS (Audio and MIDI) lets you use the FP-30X with popular apps • Dual and split modes for duets and self-accompaniment • A broad selection of non-piano sounds • Metronome • Twin Piano mode • 30 internal songs • USB-to-device memory slot lets you: • Save songs recorded with a built-in SMF recorder • Play along with favorite songs in WAV or SMF format • USB-to-host port lets you connect with your computer • Optional DP10 sustain pedal/damper pedal with half-damper control Optional three-pedal unit (KPD-70, which can also be used as a hands-free page-turner with some sheet music apps) and optional matching stand (KSC-70) available as add-on accessories provide a classic piano look.

And for private practice, all FP-X models include headphones outputs and immersive ambience effects that make studying as inspiring as performing. Expand your musical horizons The FP-X series supports the demands of modern musicians for smartphone-based online learning and entertainment. All four models offer Bluetooth MIDI and USB connectivity, while the FP-30X, FP-60X, and FP-90X also include Bluetooth audio. These forward-thinking features open up infinite creative possibilities, from playing along to music streamed through your piano’s speakers to working with YouTube lessons and the ever-growing range of music apps for mobile devices and computers. Introduction to the Roland FP-30X Digital Piano The FP30X really raises the bar for the entire category, and this will likely be a very popular model in time. The FP30 was already one of the top instruments in the category, and with these new improvements, the FP30X makes an even more impressive claim for class superiority. All in all, the FP30X is a worthy follow-up to the Roland FP30. The acoustic piano experience is faithfully recreated as Roland once again raises the bar and essentially issues a formal challenge to the rest of the class. The FP-30X stands tall against competitive products from Yamaha, Kawai, and Casio, with arguably the top action in the class. Add Roland’s legendary durability with the latest tech, the FP-30X serves up an all-around package that will turn the heads of even the most seasoned industry professionals, and beginners alike. **Upgrades over the FP30 include** • Polyphony increased to 256 notes • 21 additional onboard tones for a total of 56 • Bluetooth Audio • Twin ¼” outputs • Increased Data playback options • Compatibility with new Piano Everyday app Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action Returning from the FP30, the Roland FP30X digital piano once again features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 standard keyboard action with Ivory-touch and escapement.

The total range of sensitivity expression may not be as large as Roland’s higher-end actions, the PHA-50, and Hybrid Grand action, but it’s still widely regarded as the top action in the class. Roland FP-30X Features Roland’s Renowned SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine The FP-30X utilizes Roland’s highly regarded Supernatural Piano Sound Engine with built-in ambience effects. This engine is also a mainstay throughout Roland’s lineup under the $2,500 price mark. It’s got 256 notes of polyphony – literally double the polyphony of the FP-30 – meaning the odds of ever running out of juice with this sound engine, even if playing complex classical music, are slim.

Versatility is the first word that comes to mind with the new Roland FP-60X. The slightly younger sibling to the flagship FP-90X, the FP-60X is a professional quality instrument built for a variety of playing situations. One of the top sound engines in the industry, reliable action, powerful on-board speakers, and the latest tech, the FP-60X offers it all without totally breaking the bank.Roland’s beloved FP series just turned 30, and to celebrate 30 music-filled years Roland has just released updates to three of their FP series instruments with the new FP-X series. The FP60X is the brand new upgrade to the FP-60, and fills a very specific niche in Roland’s lineup as an upper mid-range/professional option that doesn’t break the bank. While many folks opt for a traditional stage piano or synthesizer for gigging, the main drawback for some is the lack of onboard speakers. That’s where an all-in-one instrument like the FP60X comes in given its powerful onboard speaker system powering Roland’s SuperNATURAL piano engine. The PHA-4 hammer action, a staple throughout Roland’s lineup, is featured once again, and that’s a welcome sight for anyone familiar with this reliable, great feeling action. All of the basics are covered too such as metronome and split, but it also features the latest tech like Bluetooth connectivity (easy to connect with Roland’s) Piano Designer and a host of rhythms via Roland’s Piano Partner 2 app. If you’re after an all-in-one portable instrument around the $2,000 price point such as the Kawai ES920 or Yamaha P515, you’ll definitely want to add the FP-60X to your list. **Upgrades over the FP-60 include** • On-board sounds expanded to 358 total • New My Stage feature • Mic input • Compatibility with new Piano Every Day app • 22 additional internal songs • Improved speaker design Roland FP-60X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-4 Standard Keyboard Action The Roland FP60X digital piano uses the same action found in the FP60, the 88-note PHA-4 standard keyboard action with Ivory-touch and escapement. This action has been on the market for several years now and is known for offering a professional quality experience with exceptional durability. Roland knows gigging musicians put their instruments through the ringer, so the PHA4 is more than up for the challenge. This action features ivory feel keys (white keys) and ebony (black keys), escapement meant to mimic the feel of an acoustic grand piano and a triple sensor for accurate MIDI output. Roland FP-60X Features Roland’s Renowned SuperNATURAL Piano Sound Engine The Roland FP-60X brings back Roland’s acclaimed SuperNATURAL piano sound. The piano tones are rich and complex, and ambience effects recreate the sound of playing in various locations, including concert halls. While not as sophisticated as Roland’s new PureAcoustic engine you’ll find in the FP-90X, this is still one of the top sound engines in the class, and the stereo speaker system is solid with a 26-watt amplifier. In terms of other tones, there’s 358 total, including a host of electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, and more. Roland’s intention here was clearly to make the FP60X a versatile instrument equipped for a variety of professional situations. Roland FP-60X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity The FP-60X covers many bases with 1/4″ L/Mono, R audio output jacks for easy connection to an external sound system. A mini Stereo input jack is also available. USB to host and device are both also present, so playing back WAV files is a breeze. The FP60X once again has Bluetooth MIDI and now offers Bluetooth Audio. Bluetooth Audio allows you to effortlessly stream music from a mobile device, effectively turning your FP-60X into a giant Bluetooth speaker. Notable Features • SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine with 256-voice polyphony for true acoustic piano sound and response • PHA-4 keyboard with escapement and Ivory Feel keys for inspiring grand piano touch • Connect your smartphone or tablet wirelessly via Bluetooth and play along with favorite songs through the piano’s speaker system • Advanced onboard speaker system provides rich, powerful sound for home playing and intimate live performances • Also includes electric pianos, strings, organs, and synth sounds from Roland’s flagship instruments • Enhance performances and practice sessions with Roland’s Piano Partner 2 app and create music with Apple’s GarageBand for iOS and other leading music apps • Three-band EQ with dedicated front-panel controls • DP-10 damper pedal included; compatible with optional RPU-3 triple pedal • Optional KSC-72 stand and KPD-90 three-pedal unit provide an elegant integrated look for home use • Available in black or white finish ---------------------------------------- Introduction to the Roland FP-90X Digital Piano FP-90X with best-in-class PureAcoustic Piano Modeling The Roland FP90X is the brand new upgrade to the class-leading FP90. Built with the working professional in mind, the FP90X is an all-in-one portable piano that can confidently go toe-to-toe with any other comparable instrument on the market. With the class-leading PHA50 wood/plastic hybrid action, Roland’s latest Pure Acoustic modeling engine, and powerhouse onboard speaker system, the FP90X makes a strong case for the heavyweight title of the professional, all-in-one portable class. Roland is probably the most recognizable name in digital pianos, and for good reason, considering how many professional keyboardists ultimately elect to go with a Roland as their primary gigging instrument. Roland’s FP series has been going strong for 30 years, and to mark the 30 year anniversary that just passed, Roland has upgraded the FP line with the new FPX series. The FP90X is the top quality, flagship model of the line, and it replaces the FP90 which was widely regarded as one of the top instruments in the portable all-in-one class. The FP90X featured Roland’s brand new PureAcoustic engine (replacing the SuperNATURAL piano engine), the same sound engine in Roland’s top-of-the-line LX home digital series. This engine gives full modeling technology to the acoustic piano tones, allowing for highly expressive, real-time generation of piano tone. Modeled engines also offer a deeper layer of customization options, essentially allowing you to shape and mold the tone with scalpel-like precision. All of this tone is being delivered via a robust multi-channel speaker system, and there’s a handy 3-slider equalizer on-board to allow you to make adjustments on the fly. Upgrades over the FP-90 include a new and improved sound engine, new ambience settings, improved speaker design, and added controls. There are more than 300 total onboard sounds, with a huge variety of e pianos, strings, classic organs, and synthesizers, offering maximum flexibility for whatever the situation calls for. It also even has a mic input, a relative rarity for these types of instruments, so if that’s important to you, you’ll be pleased to find it here. All in all, the Roland FP90X is a snapshot of what one of the top digital piano manufacturers of all time is currently offering, and with fantastic warranty coverage, you’ve got little to be concerned about regarding longevity. Compare against the Yamaha P515 and Kawai ES920.

Compare against the Yamaha P515 and Kawai ES920. Roland FP-90X Features Roland’s 88-note PHA-50 Keyboard Action The Roland FP90X uses their second-best action – the PHA-50 hybrid keyboard action, with a blend of wood components, escapement, and overall, replicates a grand piano action even better than the PHA4. It provides an excellent and accurate MIDI output, a properly weighted action that will satisfy even the most discerning classical pianists, and an ivory and ebony key texture that provides the right blend of grip and slip for both dry and humid environments. This action is also highly durable, as our Director of Sales Stu Harrison can personally attest to having played this action in his RD-2000 over 100’s of gigs. Most modern, high-end digital piano actions are fairly durable, though the PHA-50 is deserving of special mention in this regard. Roland FP-90X Features Roland’s Renowned PureAcoustic Modelling Technology Roland uses their brand new and highly sophisticated ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology in the FP90X, which is an entirely sound modelled tone engine (no sampling). This gives musicians real-time control over the sound of their instrument and allows for higher levels of expression and nuance, much like on an acoustic piano. There are certain details of an acoustic piano that are practically impossible to recreate with just sound sampling in a digital instrument, which is why Roland’s approach with their ‘PureAcoustic Modelling’ technology has received such high praise. This sound engine was recently introduced in Roland’s top-quality LX home digital line, and it actually comes as a bit of surprise that they’ve decided to include it in an instrument that costs little more than half of the LX model (LX705). There are two modelled piano sounds in the FP90X, representing the “two main schools” of piano style: European and American. Roland has also found a way to give both of these piano sounds: limitless polyphony. This is a really big deal as it puts literally no limit to the amount of tonal complexity the piano can produce. This combination of a purely modelled tone engine with an unlimited amount of polyphony makes the LX Series pianos from Roland wonderfully engaging and expressive instruments to play and makes them a genuine alternative to an acoustic piano. In terms of other onboard sounds, there’s a variety of Electric pianos, organs, strings, and synths, for a total of 362 onboard sounds. And as far as the speakers are concerned, the FP90X is outfitted with a four-speaker system, powered by 60 watts of amplification. 60 watts is a ton of power for a portable digital piano, meaning there will probably be plenty of professional situations where you won’t even need to connect to an amp. Roland FP-90X’s Bluetooth MIDI Connectivity Roland gives you both Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio on the FP-90X. This means you can stream music directly to the piano to take advantage of the excellent speaker system, and you can also connect your Smartphone or device wirelessly to the piano to have fun with your favorite apps, such as Roland’s own Piano Designer app, or Garageband. In terms of ports, the FP-90X offers 1/4″ L/Mono, R audio output jacks facilitating connection to an external sound system if required. There’s also a mini Stereo input jack as well. There are also traditional MIDI jacks for a wired connection as well. USB to host and USB to device allows you to playback MIDI files, wav files, and audio files, and there’s also multiple Pedal (Damper/R, Sostenuto/C *1, Soft/L *1) jacks: TRS 1/4-inch phone type for direct connection to the 3 pedal unit system. Last but not least, the FP90X also has a 1/4″ stereo headphone jack and a stereo miniature headphone jack for quiet practice. Notable Features If we’re to point to a specific notable feature, while it’s tempting to go with the PureAcoustic engine given how much less you have to spend to access this top engine in the FP90X, we really do have to mention the mic input. Mic inputs are not particularly common among performance level all-in-one portable digital pianos. For some folks, that feature alone is quite important and will instantly vault the FP90X to the top of their wishlist.

- [Piano Brands: Whats The Story?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/piano-brands-whats-the-story):
  Manufacturers like Steinway, Yamaha, and Kawai are synonymous with pianos today and each produces their unique signature pianos. But, that is not always the case, and the name you see on the front of a piano doesn’t necessarily correlate to who manufactured it. Sometimes, what appears to be a familiar piano brand is just a “stencil piano” using that name for recognition. This often applies to old brand names, re-used to give off an heir of heritage to a new piano line, or to pianos manufactured specifically for individual dealers or shops. Some factories produce dozens of differently branded pianos using essentially the same base instrument with a different logo, finish, etc. We see so many different piano names come through the store that it can be mind-boggling to keep it all straight. (just scroll to the bottom of this page to see a list) As you start to look deeper into the multitude of names emblazoned on pianos, we wonder about... Piano Brands: What’s The Story? Below is a partial list showing the mind-boggling amount of piano brands that have been manufactured.

- [Kawai 53-Inch K-800 - Best Upright Piano Available Today?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/kawai-53-inch-k-800-best-upright-piano-available-today):
  The Kawai K-800 is one of the few “true” upright grands made today. Built in Japan entirely by Kawai, the K800 has full sostenuto, premium hand-selected spruce soundboards, premium double-felted mahogany hammers, oversized music desk, and grand-like key sticks for a super high level of accuracy and speed. With an enormous and expansive soundboard and string length longer than some baby grands, the incredible 53" Kawai K-800 Upright Piano. This is the largest in Kawai’s K professional series including the latest Millennium II action with carbon fiber components. It’s hard to find large uprights like this and we are happy to show you this awesome sounding instrument that is in a league of its own in today’s piano landscape. The industry-leading K-800 Professional Upright Piano embodies Kawai’s long legacy of combining old-world craftsmanship and bold innovation to provide ultimate piano performance. The revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action delivers an ultra-responsive touch and feel that offers pianists extraordinary dynamic range and control. Plus, its stately cabinet design features sleek lines and delicate accents that will enhance any room. Built with performance in mind, the K-800 K Series Upright Piano will satisfy every musical requirement of the professional teaching studio or smaller performance venue. . SPECIAL FEATURES • Exclusive Millennium III Upright Action with ABS-Carbon Composites • Agraffes ensure accuracy in string alignment, spacing and angles to produce greater uniformity, enhanced tone, smoother tuning and consistent “speaking length” for each note. • Full Duplex Scale (upper and lower) enhances harmonics in the treble range, adding brilliance and richness to the piano’s tone. • Royal George Hammer Felt • True Sostenuto Pedal • Grand-Style “Hard Finish” Music Rack • NEOTEX™ Key Surfaces • Double Felted, Mahogany Core Hammers • Height Adjustable Bench Kawai K-800 Upright Piano Review Video Background: The K800 is a 53-inch upright piano, which makes it one of the larger upright pianos available on the market regardless of what price point you’re looking at. The typical maximum size of uprights from most manufacturer’s are often 52 inches. The K-800 sits at the top of Kawai’s K-series of professional upright pianos, and it starts right at the K-200, goes through the K-300, K-400, K-500, and finally the K800 (with a K-600 and K-700 available in Europe and Asia but not North America.) By every definition of the word, this qualifies to be called an upright grand piano. Not only is it well over 600 pounds, which means it’s heavier than quite a few of the baby grands that are on the market, but the string length, particularly in the bass, puts it in a longer bass string category than most baby grand pianos. It’s actually closer to a 5 foot plus grand in terms of the clarity that you get out of the bass. There’s also a grand piano-style music desk, which is great for composers who still prefer to work with pencil and manuscript paper as opposed to a laptop when composing. The soundboard surface area is also larger than the vast majority of 5-foot class grand pianos. As a result of these various factors, it does put the price point well above what you would typically be thinking about for a Japanese upright piano. Piano Tone: The K-800 has a robust, powerful tone. One big reason is the presence of duplex scale. Duplex scale is not common in upright pianos. The K-500 has it in the top section, while the K-800 has in the top two ranges of the keys on both the front of the string length, as well as on the back of the string length. The addition of duplex scale here in the K-800 results in all kind of extra richness in tone coming off of the treble range. The K-800 also has full agraffes, which ensures greater uniformity of string alignment and smoother tuning over a long period of time, also not very common among uprights The overall thickness and projection of the tone is similar to that of the Kawai GX grands, such as a GX-1 or a GX-2. If you’re looking for a nice upright because you don’t have space for a grand, getting similar sounds to a grand, in the form of an upright is a pretty strong selling feature. Due to the large tapered, solid spruce soundboard surface area, there is a huge amount of volume coming off of this piano. Behind the grand style, hard finish music rack are tone holes, which allows some sound to travel through the front. There is also 6 back posts and 12 ribs attached to the soundboard, giving a strong responsive sound to the whole piano. Going beyond the overall tonal power, there’s also a level of nuance and control you get when you’re playing quietly, and even without the quiet pedal it is excellent. Most large upright pianos are notorious for being a little more difficult to control in the really low volume dynamic ranges, much more so than what you see on a grand piano. This is one of the reasons why traditionally, teachers and performers generally have preferred to be in front of a grand when they get to a high level of playing because the level of control doesn’t really seem to get sacrificed as you get further down into the dynamic range as you’re pianissimo or you’re triple pianissimo. Kawai has clearly regulated and set the geometry of the action up so that everything is speaking regardless of what dynamic range you’re playing in, so you’re not having to do a lot of compensating with the soft pedal for more control in the lower ranges. Piano Action: Like the other models of the K-Series uprights and many Kawai pianos, the K-800 features the Kawai Millennium III upright action. This action uses a combination of natural materials as well as abs-carbon fiber-reinforced synthetic materials. The exclusive NEOTEX key surface resists cracking and fading over the years of use and is used for both the sharps and the naturals for a consistent feel across the entire keyboard. This is a very fast action. We know that due to the presence of abs-carbon composites definitely there are some arguments to be made that this will be a lower maintenance action than some of the all-wood actions out there. The K-800 has the full sostenuto. Sostenuto is, just like the full-duplex scale we mentioned earlier, is another feature usually found exclusively on grand pianos. The true sostenuto pedal, for those who don’t know what that is, is essentially a selective sustain pedal. If I want a B flat to sustain, but only the B flat to sustain, I’d press the B flat, and then press the middle pedal. The B flat will sustain, but nothing around it will. regardless of what other notes you play. Whereas if I was using the normal sustain pedal, everything I play would sustain. This is not common to find this on a Kawai upright. There are other uprights out there with sostenuto, and obviously, most high-end models can be special ordered with a sostenuto, but it’s really nice to have this as kind of a standard feature, at least here in Canada. The middle pedal, as some viewers might know, on an upright is usually the mute pedal. Since the middle pedal here is a sostenuto, there’s a lever underneath the left side that acts as the mute pedal, so you’re not sacrificing that function with the addition of a sostenuto.

- [Learning To Play Piano: Tips For Building Muscle Memory](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/learning-to-play-piano-tips-for-building-muscle-memory):
  Just like anything you do in life, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Muscle Memory can stay with you for a very long time. Muscle memory is similar to computer programming and it is like your movements are programmed so when you begin to play piano; you do not have to actively think as much as you recall the motor memory in your fingers. This is why experienced pianists who have practiced a lot have their muscle memory already developed, and thus they can perform without thinking. Muscle memory doesn’t actually record or retain a memory in your muscle, but rather, in the nerves and neural pathways associated with that muscle. In fact, skilled pianists use their motor network less than inexperienced pianist when it comes to complex hand movements. Just like running or walking, the piano player's movements become programmed and you they longer think, they just do! Essentially, when you repetitively practice a movement, you are changing the way your brain reacts to these movements resulting in quicker, repeated motions. Muscle memory remains for a very long time and this is why you don’t forget how to ride a bicycle. Even if you take a break from certain activity, such as piano playing, as you get back to it your muscle memory will be quickly regained. Learning vs. Practicing: Correct and Consistent Practice is Important! The term ‘Practice makes a man perfect’ is true but the phrase becomes perfectly true when you add Correct and consistent practice makes perfect. This memory is built with repetition of a particular activity and the more you do of something; stronger will be its memory within your nerves and brains. But the memory you build doesn’t know whether you are doing something good or bad. This means that if you practice a piece while making mistakes over and over again; there will be chances that you will become really good at making those mistakes. Apart from practicing, your attitude, urge towards learning as well as your sense of being able to perform can work positively for your muscle memory. This means that factor of confidence would also affect your muscle memory. Here’s a really nice way to break down how you learn to play an instrument. Since muscle memory is built through strict repetition, the process of building up your muscle memory is actually the learning phase. Until you play something consistently correct, only then is it safe to say you’re practicing it. You must practice something in order to build muscle memory, meaning that muscle memory is only developed once you’re in the practicing phase. Tips For Improving Muscle Memory Building good muscle memory is not difficult however the key behind it is to have your focus on the quality of your work rather than quantity. It would be a waste of time and effort to practice carelessly where you might be repeating your mistakes over and over again and training your muscles in the wrong way. Some tips that would aid in building good muscle memory for pianists: • Practice at a slow pace and do not rush while practicing. Slowly and gradually work to increase speed once you have gained complete hands on a part at its slow pace. • You must not focus on learning the entire piece of music in a few hours. It is more effective to break up your musical piece in parts and pay attention to learning one part at a time. • Always be mindful of mistakes and if you are making mistakes; make sure you correct them during the phase of learning. Muscle memories once developed are difficult to reverse so focus on building good memories. Make sure you are practicing correctly and not teaching your muscles memories that will be difficult to UN-learn. • Practicing twice a day and with shorter intervals between practice sessions, greatly increases your muscle memory! • Once you have some proficiency, perfect that newly learnt skill in a random environment. You can even set some distractions in your environment to further strengthen your muscle memory for that particular repetitive session. It may sound unconventional, but in reality, well rehearsed repetitive actions are actually practiced better with TV on in the background (low to no volume). This strictly works the muscle memory in a distracting environment. • Be diligent, consistent and work with patience and concentration. Do the work and reap the reward. • Set a timer or alarm and put it away from your field of vision so you aren’t focused on time and when the session will be over.

- [Keyboard VS Digital Piano - What are the Differences?](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/keyboard-vs-digital-piano-what-are-the-differences):
  We get the question a lot, should I get a digital piano or a keyboard? What if all digital pianos are keyboards but not all keyboards are digital pianos? A lot of people think of something portable when they think of a keyboard and more of a furniture-type instrument when thinking of a digital piano. While this can be generally true, there is a lot more for Pat and Ted to unpack while answering the question... What are the differences between a keyboard and a digital piano?

- [Synths That Time Forgot: Akai AX60 & AX80](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/synths-that-time-forgot-akai-ax60-ax80):
  These two 1980's synthesizers don't really belong in their time period-- maybe that's why they've been overlooked in synth history. The AX60 and AX80 come from a manufacturer that is much more well known for other products-- Akai has a great reputation, but not necessarily for synthesizers; as for polyphonic analog synthesizers, these came out at a time with too heavy of competition from brands like Yamaha. Listen to Zach's demos and let us know what you think... do you think they deserve a more prominent place in synth history?

  Are clone-based devices especially heinous? Let's call in the Synthesizer Victims Unit to take a look at this case-- Behringer's new clone of the Korg MonoPoly (which is a synth Zach recently took a look at for its own underrated nature). The MonoPoly is a unique synth for several reasons, including its usage of 4 distinct VCOs, its unorthodox effects section, and the voice section. Behringer seems to have cloned this synth successfully, but how do they sound? Take a listen and let us know what you think!

- [Studies Show Playing the Piano Can Lead to Unique Neurological Developments](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/studies-show-playing-the-piano-can-lead-to-unique-neurological-developments):
  Studies have shown that piano lessons at a young age can actually impact our brains and change the way it learns. A piano player’s brain can actually be pretty different from a non-musical brain. Now, there are differences between piano versus drums or guitar - drums are functionally pitches and a-chordal, which means that selecting a pitch or trying to figure out chord phrasing isn’t really something a drummer has to do most of the time. Guitars players will have to deal with pitch and chords, but they only allow six notes at once and one hand’s dexterity matters much more than the other. Piano just may be the most demanding and skill-oriented instrument due to having to playing together (up to ten notes) simultaneously across the 88 keys. To do that, pianists often have to develop a unique ambidextrous brain capacity. Both hands are required to be equally active for the master pianist, which means that they have to overcome their inner right-handedness or left-handedness. They have to re-wire their brain. The central sulcus is a groove on the surface of the brain. In most people, the brain’s central sulcus is deeper on either their right or left side, which then determines which hand is dominant in that person. But pianists are different: their central sulcus is far more symmetrical, meaning their brains barely register whether their brains are born left or right-handed compared to most people. Scientists say this is because pianists are able to strengthen their weaker side of the brain to more closely match their dominant side. Scientists have also shown that when jazz pianists play, their brains have an extremely efficient connection between the different parts of their frontal lobe compared to non-musicians. The frontal lobe is responsible for integrating information into our decision-making. It plays a large role in problem solving, language, spontaneity, decision making and social behavior. This means that pianists can integrate more of the brain’s information into making efficient decisions in other aspects of life. They can quickly tap into spontaneous creativity as opposed to slower and more methodical thinking. Not only that, but when experienced pianists are playing, they literally switch off the parts of the brain that is associated with stereotypical responses - basically providing a response using their own voice and subconscious instead of one that is influenced by others. Pianos help bring out what makes us unique. However, it must be mentioned that piano is a taxing and complex instrument. Real pianists have brains that efficiently conserve energy by allocating resources more effectively than others. Scientists have found that pianist’s brains pump less blood than average people into their brain region associated with motor skills. That means less energy and blood flow is needed by them to concentrate on actually playing the keys, and their brain can then use that energy to come up with notes and riffs. When pianists improvise, the language parts of their brain remains active. And studies have shown that when they solo, their brains respond as if they were in a conversation, but with paying attention to phrases and musical structure instead of specific words or phrases. So pianists brains master creative, purposeful and efficient communication because of the instrument they play. If you can become an expert on the piano, your brain can actually become different than other people’s. You will be naturally efficient at multitasking because at a high level, you will learn how to remove yourself from doubt and hesitation. Related Reading: 9 Unexpected Benefits of Playing Piano

- [Yamaha CLP745 vs CLP785 - Clavinova Comparison - Digital Piano Buyer's Guide - DEMO](https://www.alamomusic.com/blogs/whats-new/yamaha-clp745-vs-clp785-clavinova-comparison-digital-piano-buyers-guide-demo):
  People have been waiting for Yamaha to release the new CLP 700 series and then waited again to see them available in stores. They are finally here! The new tech is amazing and these new models are the closest Yamaha has ever come to perfectly replicating the nuances of a grand piano's touch and tone in a single digital piano. WHY COMPARE THE CLP745 AND CLP 785? We’ve found that many buyers who are looking for the best possible replication of the touch and sound of a grand piano in a price range of under $6,000 will narrow it down to two models, the CLP 745 and the CLP 785 In this article we'll attempt to show you the differences between these two models and hopefully help you make the right purchase for your family. CLP 745 The CLP 745 starts at $3499 and comes in five trims - Ebony Polish, Matte Black, White, Dark Walnut and Rosewood. CLP 785 The CLP 785 starts at $5799 and comes in Ebony Polish, Matte Black and White Polish. CLP 745 BUYER PROFILE • The CLP 745 buyer is looking for the best tone and touch they can get under a certain price point. The CLP 745 is the least expensive Clavinova equipped with solid wood keys, a larger sound system and bluetooth audio + midi. It’s also the best digital piano i’ve ever played under $4,000 and it’s not even close. • The 745 buyer often has a household of beginners and might be struggling to justify modeling up from a nice 4 cylinder sedan to an 8 cylinder luxury sports car. Just keep in mind that your kids won’t always be beginners and you may be able to appreciate the extra horsepower later. CLP 785 BUYER PROFILE • The 785 buyer is someone accustomed to buying top of the line products. • They have the money to invest and are just looking for the best instrument out there. • They are serious players who can immediately tell the difference between the 745 and 785. • Others have aspirations to play better down the road and want a piano they can grow into. • Looks matter, and the studio upright cabinet in the 785 is more appealing than the smaller digital piano cabinet in the 745. CLP 785 UPGRADES 1 ) SOUND Upgraded Samples - The CLP 745 and 785 both have upgraded CFX and Bosendorefer samples but the sound is only as good as the speaker system delivering that sound. The Grand acoustic imaging technology found in the 785 combined with new 3 way speakers with speaker box and transducer offer a level of clarity from bass to treble that will rival any high end speaker system under $10,000. They have optimally balanced and repositioned the bass, mid, and treble speakers to create more of a 360 degree sound effect. The 785 also adds transducers to deliver sound from the top of the cabinet, creating a natural sound field, much like the resonance from a grand piano soundboard. Grand Expression modeling technology captures the limitless differences in tone created by the complex interaction between the movements of the hammers, the strings, and the dampers—by detecting even the slightest key acceleration when striking a note, the piano assigns a heavier tone to keys pressed hard, and a clear tone to keys pressed lightly. Your legato playing will be smoother, the change of tonal color will be more pronounced which will result in musical expression filled with more texture variation. For instance, Grand Expression Modeling can tell the difference between the melody line and the accompaniment. 2 ) TOUCH CLP 785 Grand Touch action with counterweights an 88 note linear keys The new Grandtouch-S keyboard found in the CLP 745 is exceptional in its price range but the CLP 785 Grandtouch action with counterweights and 88 note linear keys is the best the industry has to offer. The CLP 785 boasts the longest key of any digital piano out there creating a balanced feel across the keyboard and lightening fast repetition able to accommodate even the most advanced classical repertoire. The “Key Stop” feature on the 785 simulates the natural piano feel when the key is struck and hits the bottom. There is less bounce (and less noise) GP Response Damper Pedal on the 785, offers a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows for more control of the sustain when you need to play staccato or legato notes. CONCLUSION THE CLP 745is the least expensive CLP model with wood keys, larger speakers and bluetooth audio + midi. It is perhaps the best value of any piano in the line THE CLP 785 is perhaps the closest anyone has ever come to replicating all of the nuances of grand piano tone and touch. If you have it in the budget to get the best, you won’t regret the investment.
