Extra aandacht ....Yamaha bedankt .....

Baldwin [Samick is nu eigenaar] & Yamaha verdienen extra aandacht om te vermelden.
Deze bedrijven maken het mogelijk een breed assortiment in waarde te laten.

Wellicht is onderstaand reeds achterhaald.
Gibson-Baldwin maken zelf een breed scala aan instrumenten, Chickering, Howard, Hamilton, Wurlitzer en trekken de kar voor de Bechstein Gruppe, die op haar beurt andere merken op de markt behoudt. Om een paar merken te noemen: Bohemia, Hoffmann, Euterpe, Steinmann en Zimmermann

Yamaha, zelf een groot producent van muziekinstrumenten is inmiddels eigenaar van Bösendorfer. [volgens zeggen: de Rolls Royce onder de piano's]
Ongetwijfeld blijven electronica technieken doorontwikkelen, een prachtig voorbeeld is de CEUSmaster, Small like a Stage Piano, huge sound like an Imperial Concert Grand.

A true grand in every sense but size, Yamaha’s GranTouchTM combines the incomparable ‘touch’ of the Yamaha grand piano keyboard with amazingly life-like digital tone to capture the true essence of an acoustic grand piano in an elegantly compact, lightweight design.

Genuine Grand Piano Action
Incorporating an actual Yamaha grand piano keyboard and action, the GranTouch achieves a natural feel and delicate control that puts it in a league of its own. And with digital tones stereo sampled throughout the full acoustic range of a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand, the GranTouch attains an unrivalled level of piano sound reproduction, and uses 30 MB of memory to far surpass the power and quality of standard digital pianos.

Precision Digital Playback for Astounding Acoustic Realism
Yamaha’s continuous-position optical key sensors work with optical hammer speed sensors to deliver impeccable accuracy in timing, dynamics, and the subtlest nuances of play, ensuring that every performance action is faithfully reproduced. A built-in, state-of-art XG tone generator provides hundreds of instrumental and specialty voices that also work with external MIDI equipment for reproducing fully orchestrated concerts.

Unparalleled Opportunities for Musical Creativity and Enjoyment
With an extraordinary integration of musical technologies, the GranTouch offers unsurpassed performance and versatility for virtually limitless playing, learning, and musical possibilities. You can record and play back your performance, or listen to the performances of great artists – reproduced ‘live’ with realistic key movement. You can cancel key movement to play along, change playback tempo or transpose into other keys, or play one hand while the GranTouch plays the other. You can even link the power of the GranTouch to a PC for unlimited song storage capacity, connection to computer software, and access to a world of online music resources.
