Yamaha Transacoustic & Yamaha Silent Pianos Review By Graham Blackledge - Rimmers Music

[@fredmoyer]

Beautiful demonstration! You're an amazing salesperson.

[@dennisgolding449]

Great demonstration. Such enthusiasm. Fantastic piano. Definitely one to replace mine when the time comes.

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

The time has come today - Go get one! - All the best Graham

[@MK-dg6qj]

Great video 👍 thanks a lot. Pls kindly answer these questions: 1. Can we send midi out while playing the acoustic sound? 2. Is there any compromise in the acoustic sound of this piano compared to a normal Yamaha acoustic upright piano? 3. Is this better than other Yamaha silent pianos with built- in electronic speakers? Thanks again 👍🙂

It's great to see and hear him in his element. He's a great musician, but he also has wonderful people skills. He immediately puts you at ease, and it's like you've known him forever. Very personable, and as David Williams said, he's extremely likeable. Well done.

Thank you Alan - All the best Graham

[@tinkabell8671]

I think your demonstrations are amazing! Wow wow wow!! I wish I had half your talent. Music makes the world go round especially when you spend most of the time on your own. Amazing Graham just amazing!!

I tried one last Saturday, it is absolutely incredible! Some people buy a Harley Davidson when they reach a certain age, others buy a Yamaha Trans Acoustic. I know the one I am going to go for…

[@tylerclark-realtor]

This is probably the best piano demo I’ve ever seen. I am going to buy my Yamaha u1 in the next few months. I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford the trans acoustic one but I’m gonna try.

[@coxqt]

Add more videos. I remember you on the national talent program. You were incredible!

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Thank you - All the best Graham

[@Ataristar]

What was the piece he played while showcasing the bosendorfer imperial sound?

[@ernieadsett2843]

Amazing!! And thanks for a wonderful description of it, Graham. We will get one soon hopefully :)

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Thank you - See you soon - All the best Graham

[@AGC828]

Terrific demo! Well done!1 :) "Silent Series"...didnt even know they had this series....only knew of their full acoustic pianos and their "hybrids" --which I guess are "more digital" than the Silent. Silents are "more acoustic based....with a digital interface attached"....

[@jackspencer8290]

Great intro to this instrument. Question about tuning, does the piano provide a way for the piano tech to match the pitch of the physical strings to the digital pitch?

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I just found out about this piano and saw it in real life today. It's simply amazing. Thanks for uploading this video! Take care, Sam from Olympia, Washington U.S.A.

I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me!

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

I love the demonstration, thanks! I was a TV salesman once, because as a kid, I couldn't play the piano. My loss, lol. I want a self player in my next house, I love these Yamaha ones.

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Get one! - All the best Graham

🤠✌🏻You Are A Great Pianist My Friend!🤠✌🏻

[@stratpac]

Good job on the demo. I want one now!!

[@Sjc4738]

Great demo. Any updates for real life customer experience with tech and app reliability/user experience?

[@petroskefallinos8735]

You helped me to decide what i need to buy! A transacoustic baby grand! :D Thank you!

[@JohnvanderGeest558]

Great presentation! What would a new silent Yamaha piano like that cost? I guess it's a U1?

[@SDChui]

Thanks for the great presentation 🎉 It’s the best of both worlds. I’m assuming this TransAcoustic will still play as an acoustic without turning the TC electronic mechanism on?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Yes it will.

[@manikiyani]

Fantastic work of introducing Pianos, Thank you.

[@irina_v_3032]

Thank you for this good demonstration!

[@monkieie]

I would love to have an acoustic or even a 'silent' model but alas, I live in a flat on the 4th floor and simply cannot contemplate the costs of manhandling almost 300kg up and down the stairs. That's why my next buy will be a midrange digital. Next time I'm back home in Bolton though, I will defo pay the guys at Rimmers a visit.

[@joji94]

If you play without headphones is the audio mechanical or comes from the speaker?

[@StefanUlbricht]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@MarlonTangHoww]

What’s the song around 2:39

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

Misty

[@santiagobedoyamorales7467]

What's the name of the song from the 5:00 minute?

[@xualex9327]

I thought it might be

[@santiagobedoyamorales7467]

@@xualex9327 Hey Friend, i was searching that song over this 3 months, Thanks you

[@ronmiechkota3636]

Can one record, play back and edit?

[@veroniqueminassian4888]

This is the best piano demo I’ve ever seen ! 🙏👌

[@23000dani]

Thanks for show us how TransAcustic Piano works.

[@jensheitmann1989]

Do the sample sounds also sound like this on the Yamaha B2 SC2 Silent Piano? The hall too?

[@gabrielmondragon6308]

What piece is that at 2:35 Please

[@chrms]

It's a Jazz Standard by Erroll Garner called "Misty"

[@lechiffrebeats]

hey guys anyone know the song at 2:50 ???

[@verlax8956]

its a jazz standard song called "Misty"

[@lechiffrebeats]

@@verlax8956 appreciate lol

[@shirleysmith3904]

Can you change the touch of the piano? I have a very light touch and would prefer a piano that responded to this.

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Hello.The piano has an acoustic action so this is fixed as you would expect. If you use the digital sounds however you can adjust the amount of pressure needed for full volume so this may help. The action is very responsive anyway, its a personal preference I think with that point. Kindest regards Graham

[@leofriedrich]

Unfortunate automatic captions at 8:53

[@myspace_forever]

LOL

[@LionStreetTM]

Is this the U1TA2?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Yes

[@aBachwardsfellow]

in digital mode, are the hammers still engaged so that the action is the same?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Yes they are, a bar prevents the hammers from hitting the strings. You can also have both sounds at the same time ie acoustic and digital. The feel remains the same. Kindest regards Graham

[@aBachwardsfellow]

@@RimmersMusicVideo Excellent! Thank you for your response. A few more questions please. Could you say approximately how similar is the action and acoustic sound of the upright silent piano compared with a Yamaha U1? Would you say that the "action" - that is, the touch and feel,, the touch-to-response ration of the silent piano is practically identical to the U!? Or if not, in what ways is it different? Lighter action? Shorter stringing? Build quality - i.e. as is the silent instrument as strongly-built in the frame and action as the U1? Other? Thank you so much in advance - :-)

[@Boris_Chang]

I was expecting you to explain the difference between the transacoustic and the silent piano

[@franflickinger7149]

Silent piano just works full sound or silent (with headphones), you can't control the volume without headphones like you can with a transacoustic. A transacoustic also has a bunch of features normally found on digital pianos that make it very versatile.

[@ravidu621]

Boris Chang Basically they charge you 1000 dollars for some speakers you can buy by 300$. The only thing is that those speakers use the harmonic table so theoretically it sounds better but most of digital piano don’t have this characteristic and they sound great, so for me it’s just a waste of money, money you could invest in a better piano and 200-300$ speakers that sound pretty much the same

[@Tyrosmatt]

I take it you will need to tune the acoustic side?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Yes - Its a real acoustic piano too! - Kindest regards Graham

[@luivincii1597]

Its £12,750.00. One day i Will buy ❤️

[@catherineofsweden24]

Think I need to move to Bolton just to buy this piano 🎹 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

I hope to see you soon. All the best Graham

[@anandindrawan5938]

Such an impressive thing

[@phsycopiano]

Do these have MIDI?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Yes they do!

[@phsycopiano]

@@RimmersMusicVideo That’s it. I want one

[@kayele]

Waiting for a show so I can go see him

[@soumyajitdas1647]

Dream.

[@christinastephenson6779]

can you play and sing some more

[@BSnedeker]

Wow

[@DanzeMusic]

Love this demo and love this piano for it's sound, but I really hate how it looks unfortunately. I guess this one is the YUS3 TA2, the one I want to get is the YUS5 TA2, which is even uglier! 😥

[@heimway]

it is an U1 TA2. You can see the type imprinted on the sound bar e.g. at 6:50 . And it is a beautyful piano.
