Alicia Keys launched the new AvantGrand with a performance at the NAMM Show earlier this month.
Check out video of the performance.
Here is how Yamaha describes the new piano / keyboard hybrid:
Combining a Specialized Grand Piano Action with new technologies that actualize the physical connection a pianist experiences on an acoustic grand piano, the AvantGrand N3 represents a significant new branch in the family tree of the piano. The Tactile Response System replicates the resonating string vibration of an acoustic piano to the players hands through specially placed transducers; while a new mechanical touch pedal system reproduces the finesse of acoustic pedals, duplicating the spring, friction and inertia. The placement of the four-channel, three-way Spatial Acoustic Speaker System mimics the points where the original grand piano samples were taken, while two Soundboard Resonators create a non-directional sound dispersion directly in front of the player, duplicating the subtle reproduction of the buildup of sound felt by concert pianists. When combined, AvantGrand creates a natural grand piano image so authentic, you'll swear there are nine feet of piano extending behind your music rest... when in reality it’s less than four.
