We've had a busy week with new arrivals in our Piano Department, with some exciting additions to our stock.Piano manufacturers are becoming increasingly clever at combining the traditional qualities and design of real acoustic instruments, with 21st century technology, and two of our new arrivals are excellent examples of this.Yamaha have been making their Disklavier range of self-playing pianos for several years but the more recent developments have really transformed its capabilities.  The DGC1 is in very short supply, but we have taken delivery of one this week.  It is a very nice acoustic piano, made in Japan, with the added benefits of full Silent Piano functionality and the ability to play a wide range of Yamaha MusicSoft songs.  You can also record your own playing and then have it played back by the piano - a great way of checking your progress with a new piece!  Furthermore, the DGC1 is included in Yamaha's Silence Is Golden campaign which could give you up to £950 extra for your part-exchange.Meanwhile, Yamaha's fellow Japanese competitors Kawai have also been busy.  They have developed a new version of their 'Anytime X' silent piano system, and we've just taken delivery of a K200 upright piano fitted with it.  ATX II builds on the talents of the previous version but adds the flexibility of a better piano sample with 256-note polyphony (the same as used on the company's CA65 and CA95 digitals), and the ability to record your playing to a USB memory device in either WAV or MP3 format.  The MP3 recording is particularly nice as it makes sharing your music so much easier.The ATX II system can also be ordered on most other Kawai upright piano models.In addition to these exciting new arrivals we also have Yamaha's new TransAcoustic version of the ubiquitous U1 upright piano for you to try.  This currently has very limited availability and we are one of the few shops where you can try the technology for yourself.  The TransAcoustic takes Yamaha's excellent SH silent system and adds a soundboard speaker system so that as well as being able to play in normal acoustic or digital silent modes, you can also play the digital side of the instrument out loud and benefit from the natural resonance of the solid spruce tone wood.   You can even play the acoustic piano with the digital samples at the same time, so there are no limits to your creativity.  Like the DGC1 this instrument is included in the Silence Is Golden upgrade bonus scheme.
