Yamaha has extended its range of Disklavier E3 digital pianos with the DGB1KE3Classic.
While it’s zero marks for the appalling product name, we should look beyond to the specs themselves.
Yamaha has developed a new “Damper Drive System” which makes the E3 Classic more affordable. Yamaha states that, “During playback, direct driving of the dampers provides the same damper effect as the conventional Disklavier,” whilst, “during recording, the damper pedal sensing system records your pedalling precisely.”

The E3 Classic comes with a CD containing over 400 songs so it’s ready to listen to as soon as it arrives.
The built-in amplification system creates a spacious sound that’s ideal for the acoustic sounds the instrument is recreating.
It’s easy to record on the Disklavier and it has enough built-in storage for hundreds of hours of music. It’s even possible to record a MIDI file synchronised perfectly to an audio CD or file on USB memory stick, such as a track from a favourite band.
