Yamaha‘s new MODUS H01 digital grand piano continues the line of compact, stylish digital grand pianos. As with their CLP-F01, Yamaha’s designers have addressed the needs of luxury homeowners who need to use space efficiently whilst accenting their rooms with stylish furniture.
“Though we are catering to the new design-conscious consumer, this instrument sounds and feels as beautiful as it looks,” says Jim Levesque, Clavinova Marketing Manager, Yamaha Piano Division.
Playing features include 88-note natural wood keyboard, 64 notes polyphony, 10 instrument voices, and three-level dynamic stereo AWM samples. It also has a USB input, three pedals (damper with half-pedal effect, sostenuto, and soft), and 40 watt stereo speaker system.
A variety of gorgeous finishes, including amber glow, velvet rouge and deep brunette – all accented with polished ebony – are available.
