Yamaha NU1XA Avantgrand - Everything that you want to know

[@Viemexis]

I wish you could actually buy it with the window showing the hammers. It looks awesome. Did you modify it that way? How much work was it?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

The perspex is a demonstration glass only and not availabe for sale, but I am sure you could get a piece made somewhere if you really want to see the hammers and key action all the time. Kindest regards Graham

Graham, I'm buying this piano... thanks for your demo! The Perspex front is a game changer! You should tell Yamaha to offer it as an option. Until then, could you provide some info on how to remove the front panel and how you secured the Perspex to the piano? Thanks

[@pianowhizz]

Yamaha provide demo models to dealers - Graham did not Dremel it on himself!

I’ll be an additional voice here requesting info on how I can purchase this with the Perspex front. I much prefer to see the hammer action as I play!

Just wonder if it can give the exact feeling in keyboard and pedal as in the acoustic piano. look forward to your reply.

I bought a brand new Kawai GL40 a few months ago but since I live in a small apartment and my neighbor is a retired old lady I am also looking for a super high quality digital piano to learn new repertoire at night. I am primarily looking at the Kawai CA901 or the Yamaha CLP885. Which would you recommend? Or would it be worth the price bump to this Yamaha NU1XA? Thank you

I want to know the same thing

[@Gustavo-x8f3q]

@siwartsteensma3939 too bad he ignores the viewers. That’s how they get bad reviews

[@manuelthomas8311]

Could you provide some steps to disassembling the front fallboard?

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Hi, It's not recommended to remove the front panel as dust will affect the advanced sensor system inside the piano. Our display models have a perspex front panel just for demonstration purposes. Pete

[@pianowhizz]

Dust will not affect the sensor system - the NU1XA employs a brand-new magnetic sensor system. Other pianos use mechanical or optical sensors - only those are affected by dust.

Really impressive demonstration!! I'd love to try one of these out. - Just a question about the sound - was the piano recorded directly from the audio output jack, or using a microphone via the on board speakers? - The audio is sounding a bit distorted as if the recording levels were set a bit high. I'm hoping this is just a factor of how it was recorded, rather than how it actually sounds in real life. Great demo, and hoping to get my hands on one of these soon!

[@RimmersMusicVideo]

Hi, This was recorded using a microphone in-room with the piano. The amplification system in the piano is superb! Pete

[@benjaminpeternorris]

@@RimmersMusicVideo Excellent, thanks for clarifying!!

Lots of clipping on the audio peaks. Spoils the video.
