1. The history of Yamaha

The Yamaha company was founded in 1889 by Torakusu Yamaha. Yamaha started producing acoustic pianos around 1900. Yamaha's pianos are produced in Japan. Throughout the 1920s, Yamaha became a great success. From 1950 the development that eventually led to the digital piano began with the first digital organ. From 1970 onwards, stage pianos, keyboards and digital pianos started to resemble how we know them today. Today Yamaha is the largest instrument maker, producing 130,000 acoustic pianos and grand pianos per year. Yamaha is therefore one of the largest piano producers in the world and a well-known name to every pianist. In addition, many music schools and conservatories use Yamaha. But why is this Japanese brand so popular? That is simple! The quality and the sound! The sound appeals to many pianists and keyboardists, from beginner to professional. The clear, dynamic sound is suitable for any genre and offers plenty of room for individual interpretation. A Yamaha piano is simply a very good purchase that will last for many years and will continue to sound beautiful.

2.2 What Types of Yamaha Hybride Piano’s

YAMAHA SILENT PIANO: The Yamaha silent system allows the pianist to play silently acoustically. When you switch on the silent system, the hammers no longer hit the strings, but the piano creates a digital piano sound. You can then hear this sound through headphones. So do you want to be able to play day and night? Don't want to disturb anyone? Then the silence system is definitely for you! In principle, this can be installed on most Yamaha models. But the most convenient is of course when you buy a piano that already contains this, such as a Yamaha B1 / 2/3 but also P121, ...
TRANSACOUSTIC YAMAHA: In addition to an owl system, the Yamaha transacoustic also has a unique speaker system that allows you to control the volume of your piano in a very natural way. But you can also broaden the piano playing with 20 other digital sounds such as a CFX grand piano, a bosendorfer Imperial, strings, ... This piano even makes it possible to combine your original sound with digital strings. The best-known model in the Yamaha Transacoustic is the U1.
YAMAHA DISKLAVIER: The Disklavier from Yamaha is a self-playing Yamaha piano. It is a unique way of performing piano music. This piano does not just play a digital recording, but the hammers also effectively hit the strings, so you also have moving keys. This makes it appear that someone is playing the piano invisibly.
