GrandTouch S keyboard

The GrandTouch S keyboard is Yamaha’s latest keyboard action which can faithfully translate every nuance from your fingertips into the music. Just like a grand piano, this piano action can replicate the pleasing response felt by the hammers hitting the strings, providing you with complete control over the music. The keys are even coated in a synthetic material to ensure your fingers don’t slip when playing for extended periods of time. The 800 series features an adjusted weight, shape and materials to offer a close grand piano action.

Grand touch pedals

The grand touch pedals offer a realistic aesthetic, along with a realistic resistance when playing. These pedals have been designed to have the same specifications as a grand piano pedal, the same friction, and the same pivots and angles to that of a grand piano pedal.

Grand Expression Modeling

Recreating the tone of a grand piano is complicated. The way how the hammers, dampers, and strings interact together to create an infinite range of tonal expression. All pianos in the 800 series can digitally recreate the interaction of all these parts to create an unparalleled tone. These pianos not only respond to the intensity of playing and release of the keys, but also the speed and depth with which the keys are pressed. Grand Expression Modeling can translate every nuance from your playing into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

External device connection

Who said pianos had to be traditional? The Smart Pianist app offers a range of features that places you in control. The app enables you to select instrument voices, adjust various settings, record your performance, and much more! You will find yourself making music faster with this app as it gives you the freedom to do it via your smart device.

Want to play along with your favourite songs? Now you can! Smart Pianist scans the audio songs loaded in your music library, analyses the chord progressions, and then displays them for you on the screen of your smart device. It’s that simple. Play along as the chords scroll by, all the while hearing the song playback through your piano’s speaker system. Loading MIDI songs into the app will also allow you to follow along with digital sheet music while you play. Please note: Smart Pianist functionality may vary dependent on the model of Yamaha piano used.
