Yamaha DYUS1 Enspire Disklavier Silent Upright Piano

The Disklavier Enspire ST was built with both the listener and the player in mind. The DYUS1 features integrated recording and playback facilities, as well as Yamaha's Silent Piano technology. This model is perfect for both the keen piano-playing enthusiast, and the inspired listener who also appreciates quality new technology. Thanks to the DSP Servo Drive System technology, performances are accurately and realistically reinacted by automatically monitoring and calibrating the movement of the keys and pedals in real time when played back.

Piano Learning

Naturally this upright piano is a lovely instrument to learn to play the piano on, like any Yamaha piano, but it also has a few unique ways to help and make the learning process more enjoyable for both beginner and advanced students.  

Firstly the built in Silent mode allows practice without disturbing other people in the household or neighbours.  Suddenly this allows practice at unsociable hours (the only hours this writer gets the urge to practice!)

The record and playback functionality allows the aspiring pianist to accurately review their performance.  Only when you can trully listen to and observe your performance is it possible to detect the sections that need improvement.  This helps both beginner and advanced students as the Disklaviers reproductin is so accurate eg if you only played the key 1/2 way down the Disklavier system will only play the key half way too!  Another great function is that the playback can be transposed to a different key which might suit an accompanying singer better.

The piano also comes with a built in digital piano system and speakers and so it can produce hundreds of different instrumental sounds eg organ, electric piano, harpsichord or synth etc, etc  this can help keep even "bored" teenagers interested!

...and if you or your children don't quite take to playing the piano like you had hoped you still have a wonderful entertainment system as well as a beautiful piece of furniture.

Entertainment System

Whatever your age everyone is fascinated and delighted by a piano that plays itself.  Whether you love listening to piano or want music for a party the Disklavier can do it all and now it can be "secretly" controlled via its dedicated istore app.  Naturally the piano can play piano music but, due to its built in speakers, it can play a whole band or orchestra with the piano playing the piano part.

The Disklavier can be connected to the internet where it has access to "Disklavier Radio Stations" each specialising in its on genre of music. This means, whatever your mood, your piano can be playing suitable music within seconds without having to swap any disks or CDs.

Every Note, Every Nuance

The Disklavier Enspire is the only piano that can truly reproduce every nuance of a piano performance, precisely recreating all of the details that other player pianos cannot. For example, a player's key release timing controls the exact timing of each individual damper coming down on the string and contributes to the overall musical message that the pianist is trying to convey. Other player systems rely on predetermined programming to control the release of the piano keys, which results in every key releasing at the exact same speed during playback. This programming equates to half of the original performance being altered, which means half of the human element of the piano performance is removed. The Disklavier, by contrast, can reproduce all articulations of the performance, including the speed by which a key is released, meticulously reproducing what even other high-end systems cannot. Couple these unmatched reproducing capabilities with advanced AccuPlay DSP technology, and you have a piano that not only recreates every nuance of the original performance, but is intelligent enough to verify and adjust itself during playback to ensure accurate performance reproduction.

Inspired By Technology, Powered By Performance

Extremely accurate recording functions allow teachers and students to critique recorded performances - providing new ways for students to enhance their musical development. Proprietary video sync technology gives users the ability to create, archive and share an acoustic piano-driven visual performance using just the piano and a video camera.

The Sound of Innovation

Our Silent Piano technology allows you to listen, learn and play without being disturbed or disturbing others. Utilizing a unique sampling technique that replicates the interaural characteristics of the human ear, the Disklavier Enspire binaurally recreates the sound, presence and resonance of a Yamaha CFX Concert Grand from the player’s position through headphones. This innovative technology is built into every Enspire ST Disklavier, giving you increased flexibility and more opportunities to enjoy your piano.
