With just the right mix of retro-cool and modern-day features and playability, there is a Revstar guitar to suit everyone’s style. The RS320 delivers great tone from a duo of open humbucking pickups. The slab body is light, tight and comfortable and the neck and fretboard have been specially designed for easy playing.

The new Revstar electric guitar series introduces a new design concept geared to today’s style sensibilities and features Yamaha’s unique design capabilities in the first major update to the classic Yamaha guitar body shape in over a decade. The new design is the culmination of three years of development incorporating information from multiple interviews and feedback from professional artists, music industry professionals, and guitar enthusiasts in London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. The re-articulated design presents advances in design and sound production through a blend of Yamaha-ness with Japanese design sensibilities. The visual concept evokes the classic, stripped-down look of the customised Café Racer motorbikes popular in 1960s London and is specifically engineered to have the warm feel and look of well-used vintage equipment. The Revstar concept combines Yamaha’s 50-year legacy of guitar craftsmanship with Japan’s heritage of engineering excellence.

YAMAHA ELECTRIC GUITAR REVSTAR RSP20CRRR Rusty Rat Finish with Fitted Yamaha Hard Case – made in Japan Yamaha have been making guitars for a very long time. Not simply just another guitar brand, Yamaha have perfected their craft and their Guitars are played by some of the most influential and loved Artists on the planet. Their superb SA, SG and Pacifica lines are highly regarded and stand proudly alongside any of the other major Guitar brands. It was then always going to be an enormous challenge for Yamaha to come up with something new – but then, Yamaha have never been known to do anything by halves! It has been 20 years since Yamaha last released a completely original guitar and they wanted to make it something special. The goal was to create a guitar inspired by the iconic Yamaha Cafe Racer motorbikes. In order to achieve this, Yamaha teamed up with a design company in London who spent years designing the Revstar in collaboration with respected contemporary guitarists to perfectly combine feel, tone and aesthetic. The end result is a stunning range of guitars priced to delight and inspire everyone from beginners to pros. Inspired by the stylish lines and effortless performance of the Café Racer bikes that coloured the streets of 1960s London, the Revstar Professional wholeheartedly embraces the concept of being a stripped down, tuned up high performance package of sublime guitar craftsmanship. Hand-selected premium parts and materials combined with an ingenuity and know-how that reflects Japan’s detail-oriented engineering ethic, ensure that this guitar is true to the ethos of the Café Racer—function, character, and style to burn. The flagship RSP20CR model is made in Japan with custom parts and fully embodies the Café Racer concept. Copper pick guards wear over time as the guitar is played naturally creating a unique look for each player. Craftsmen selected and calibrated parts and Yamaha’s unique Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.) technology give the RSP20CR a vintage vibe and easy playability from the first day. The Rusty Rat finish is quite controversial for Yamaha – they usually produce hand finished beauties in more traditional colours. Rusty Rat is interesting . . . it’s not ‘pretty’ and definitely looks vintage. What may be most surprising is that grey as a colour is the best reflector of light without flaring out. What does that mean? It means that the Rusty Rat is a badass guitar that has been designed for the stage. Any Lighting Tech will confirm that the best colour to reflect light on stage is grey, what are we saying? This bad boy sounds incredible but you should see it on stage, under lights…! The new Revstar electric guitar series introduces a new design concept geared to today’s style sensibilities and features Yamaha’s unique design capabilities in the first major update to the classic Yamaha guitar body shape in over a decade.

So… who plays YAMAHA Acoustic Guitars? So, who plays Yamaha Acoustic Guitars you may well ask? Yamaha had only been building acoustic guitars for four years when American Singer, Country Joe took to the stage at Woodstock with a Yamaha FG150 and the rest is as they say . . . history! Get ready for a few surprises. The most expensive Yamaha Aco ustic Guitar ever built was created after a request from John Lennon. John Lennon became interested in Yamaha acoustics after playing a custom acoustic which had been built for Paul Simon. The celebrated American singer-songwriter is a longtime fan of Yamaha acoustics, which the company custom-makes for him with slightly smaller bodies to fit the artist’s compact frame. But Simon was hardly alone. Yamaha acoustics became high visibility items during the Seventies. John Denver, James Taylor and David Lindley played them. Bruce Springsteen relied heavily on a Yamaha Acoustic Guitar during the fertile Eighties phase of his career and Yamaha Acoustic Guitars also featured on the Stage at Woodstock. Jimmy Page played Yamaha acoustics during Led Zeppelin’s 1975 world tour and would later make Yamaha his acoustics of choice for the Page/Plant Unleaded tour in the Nineties. Whenever Jimmy flies around the World his baggage usually includes a Yamaha Acoustic Guitar These are names that should be immediately famliar to you…a quick scan of Youtube or Foxtel will reveal the contemporary players that play Yamaha Acoustic Guitars…look up Joe Bonamassa, Annekei and Michael Herring for starters! The Yamaha FG820 is a great guitar and with our comprehensive PRO-SCM setup, it’s is ready to take you in whatever direction your musical journey determines!

Each key also features carefully-adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo and better key return in rapid passages.

Beyond the CVP-709’s piano performance is a wealth of interactive musical features capable of making music fun for anyone regardless of skill level or experience. The finest piano sound and the finest piano touch in the most advanced Clavinova ever. Over a century of piano building experience culminates in a truly modern instrument.

Tuned to perfection by a highly experienced piano technician and having the sound from each key recorded individually, Clavinova truly captures the unique tonal character of each of these outstanding instruments. With Clavinova, you can choose from and enjoy the amazing digital reproductions of the exquisite beauty tone that only the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial can deliver. Superb playability and feel. NWX (Natural Wood X) keyboards are created using Yamaha’s unrivaled expertise acquired through more than a century of crafting fine acoustic pianos. The material used for NWX keyboards is cut from wood that has been carefully dried specifically for use in making musical instruments. Only the best wood from the finest part of the tree is selected, resulting in a keyboard that is more resistant to buckling and warping than common laminated wood keyboards. The NWX keyboard also features an escapement mechanism that reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano as it goes through the let-off and drop of the hammer when a key is played very softly. The action has been designed in such a way that the escapement is discernible only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to the keyboard of a grand piano. Synthetic ivory keytops reproduce the tactile surface of the ivory keyboards once used in acoustic pianos. It features highly absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of performing, while retaining the ideal texture and feel. Strike with the perfect balance. Counterweights are embedded in the keys to balance the weight of the hammers and offer more precise control when playing delicately at low volumes. The Clavinova features a carefully-adjusted set of these individual counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo and quicker key return in rapid passages. No two keys are alike. On an acoustic grand piano, each and every key is weighted differently. This is because the strings for each note are slightly thinner and shorter in the treble register, becoming gradually thicker and longer towards the bass register. The Clavinova action faithfully reproduces the subtle differences that this graded touch offers with differing weights and key returns for each one of its 88 keys. When it comes time to take your playing to an acoustic grand piano, the transition will be seemless to the performer. An unrivaled grand piano pedal feel. The CVP-709 features a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows half-pedaling. The GP Response Damper Pedal offers variable resistance, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedaling on an acoustic grand piano. For a sound that truly resonates with the listener. In a grand piano, strings and sounds resonate throughout the entire body of the instrument producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. Not only are the strings you are playing vibrating, but other strings ring as a reaction to ones you play. This is one reason the piano’s sound is so complex and rich. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) which calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard from one instant to the next. As a result, the Clavinova reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in playing an acoustic piano such as which keys are pressed, the strength with which the keys are played and pedal timing. A new kind of headphone experience. Unique to Yamaha, the Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts the spacing of the sound and the separation from the piano when listening via the headphones, resulting in a spacious sound image that will inspire you to play for hours at a time. Using this private listening environment, the sound of the Clavinova appears to come from the body of the instrument rather than from the headphones, providing a more realistic and naturally comfortable experience. The Clavinova is ready for your Session. The Piano Room features the world-class Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos and has been expanded to include additional keyboard instruments including vintage electric pianos. In Session Mode, you can invite three additional session musicians into the room to accompany you as you practice and perform in 40 different musical styles. These session musicians will automatically follow your harmonies in either full-keyboard mode or split mode, and will also follow your volume expression using Dynamics Control. These session musicians can selectively be activated and deactivated depending upon your musical needs at the time. Within this special room you can even record your sessions with the touch of one button. So realistic, you won’t believe the sound is coming from a keyboard. Yamaha’s Super Articulation Voices (SA) and Super Articulation 2 Voices (SA2 on CVP-709/709GP) add genuine performance attributes of the real musical instruments as though they were being naturally performed by a virtuoso of that instrument instead of from the keys of a piano keyboard. Examples include “fret noise” or “body knocks” from a guitar or the “inhales”, “exhales” and glissandos from wind instruments. By simply varying your touch and playing techniques or using the pedals, SA and SA2 Voices will add significant authenticity to your sound. The groove and sound of live drummers! The CVP-709/709GP offers 30 Audio Styles and have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of a Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Audio Styles utilize Yamaha’s Time Stretch Technology, which allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch. Everything stays in perfect sync. All you need to know is the song. The Clavinova does the rest. Music Finder is great when you are looking for just the right Style or Voice combinations so YOU can perform a particular song. Simply choose the name of the song you want to play from the Music Finder list and the CVP will call up the proper settings so you can get playing right away. These settings were created by professional musicians from around the world specializing in particular genres of music. Can’t remember the name of a song? No problem. Just play! The Style Recommender is an intelligent function that allows you to find a Style that suits the type of music you feel like playing. You don’t even need to know the name of the song; the rythmic feel alone will do.

The Twisted Flare Port, a new Yamaha technology, offers a clearer bass sound. The flared and gently twisted shape evenly diffuses the air flow through the port. Compared to a conventional port, the Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise, contributing to clear and accurate low frequency reproduction. Optimal tone at any volume level. When playing in a home environment, people often enjoy the Clavinova at much less than full volume. However, the physics of sound at low volumes results in a loss of treble and bass. On a Clavinova, however, the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) automatically adjusts the sound so you enjoy proper excellent bass and treble sound balance even at low volumes. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to the overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) at low volume. This ability to adjust volume without losing the rich and balanced sound is an exclusive Yamaha benefit, ensuring you always play with the utmost sound quality.

Yamaha CVP709PE Clavinova Digital Piano Polished Ebony Finish From professional piano performance to simply discovering the joy of music for the first time, the CVP-709 is truly a family musical entertainment center. It’s the first CVP Clavinova featuring not one, but TWO world-class grand pianos (Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial) inside one digital piano. The Piano Room feature has been expanded to include more pianos and a new Session Mode with a built-in recording studio for capturing and sharing your music. In addition to the NWX (Natural Wood X) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops, the 88-key Linear Graded Hammer action dedicates a unique weight for each key over the entire keyboard. Each key also features carefully-adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo and better key return in rapid passages. The NWX keyboard also features an escapement mechanism that reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano as it goes through the let-off and drop of the hammer when a key is played very softly. Beyond the CVP-709’s piano performance is a wealth of interactive musical features capable of making music fun for anyone regardless of skill level or experience. The finest piano sound and the finest piano touch in the most advanced Clavinova ever. Over a century of piano building experience culminates in a truly modern instrument. Experience a purely digital piano with the heart of a true grand. You’ll feel the difference from the very first notes you play. Realistic touch and response, paired with the unmistakeable tone of the finest concert grand pianos ever made, the Clavinova delivers expressive capabilities and a dynamic range that redefines the standard for digital pianos today. Your dream piano studio awaits. The enhanced Piano Room now includes the world-class Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos, plus vintage electric pianos. In Session Mode, you can invite three virtual musicians into the room to “jam” with you as you practice and perform in one of 40 different musical styles. These session musicians will automatically follow your harmonies and your volume expression using the new Dynamics Control feature. You can selectively activate and deactivate each one depending on your musical needs at the time. Within this special room, you can even record your sessions with the touch of a single button. Virtually every instrument Yamaha builds can be found inside. Yamaha is the World’s largest manufacturer of musical instruments, and CVP Clavinovas contain high-resolution, high-definition recordings only possible from a company with this rich herritage. Super Articulation (SA) and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices are both highly advanced and easy to use, making you sound like a pro. With them you’ll hear the most realistic reproductions of legato and staccato performance techniques that are so essential to playing bowed and wind instruments. By simply varying your touch and playing techniques or using the pedals, SA and SA2 Voices will add significant authenticity to your sound. When you want to play more than just piano. One of the defining features of a CVP Clavinova is the multitude of different Styles that can be controlled in real-time by playing chords on the keyboard. Accompaniment Styles introduce ensembles of virtual musicians to your performances in a variety of musical genres. From small jazz ensembles to full orchestras, you control what chords or harmony they play by what YOU play, plus you control the dynamic of the ensemble. Developed by professional session musicians from around the world, Styles add authentic, studio-quality backing players to your performances – even when you play by yourself. You can use Styles to add embellishing Intros, Endings & Fill-Ins and even arrange songs in real-time. Now anyone can play a hit song, one light at a time. CVP Clavinovas are very patient: if you don’t play the right notes, they wait until you do! This is made possible with the CVP’s unique Guide feature. As the easiest way to play a song, the Follow Lights library teaches you popular melodies in a way only possible on a CVP Clavinova. Just follow the lights one note at a time, and fully-arranged orchestrations and arpeggios embellish your playing. Here, you don’t play along with a recording, the recording literally plays along with YOU. Visit www.yamahamusicsoft.com/followlights to browse the entire library today. Get connected and start singing. You can connect a microphone to enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or using Karaoke song files from YamahaMusicSoft.com. All input jacks are conveniently located at the front of the instrument, under the keybed for easy access. Only Yamaha could build an instrument with studio-quality effects like reverb, echo and even Vocal Harmony. Alternatively, you can connect a portable music device such as an MP3 player or smart phone to enjoy listening through the Clavinova’s high-definition speaker system.

Two world class concert grands in one digital piano. Two world class pianos are contained within the CVP Clavinova. The CFX, Yamaha’s finest concert grand, selected and played by the winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition, and the Imperial from Bösendorfer, one of the oldest piano manufacturers in the world and a brand held in high esteem by pianists throughout its long history.

Compared to a conventional port, the Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise, contributing to clear and accurate low frequency reproduction. Optimal tone at any volume level. When playing in a home environment, people often enjoy the Clavinova at much less than full volume. However, the physics of sound at low volumes results in a loss of treble and bass. On a Clavinova, however, the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) automatically adjusts the sound so you enjoy proper excellent bass and treble sound balance even at low volumes. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to the overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) at low volume. This ability to adjust volume without losing the rich and balanced sound is an exclusive Yamaha benefit, ensuring you always play with the utmost sound quality.

The RS320 delivers great tone from a duo of open humbucking pickups. The slab body is light, tight and comfortable and the neck and fretboard have been specially designed for easy playing. Yamaha are pitching the RS320 as an ideal model for beginning guitarists – we’ve played it and are sure that it will appeal to experienced players looking for a no-frills rock machine. 
Although the RS320 is the Revstar series base model, there is nothing basic about this guitar. The Revstar series had to start somewhere and this is it. The Revstar RS320 features a pair of high output open coil humbucking pickups and our PRO-SCM setup has resulted in an easy playing fretboard. 
The new Revstar electric guitar series introduces a new design concept geared to today’s style sensibilities and features Yamaha’s unique design capabilities in the first major update to the classic Yamaha guitar body shape in over a decade. The new design is the culmination of three years of development incorporating information from multiple interviews and feedback from professional artists, music industry professionals, and guitar enthusiasts in London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. The re-articulated design presents advances in design and sound production through a blend of Yamaha-ness with Japanese design sensibilities. The visual concept evokes the classic, stripped-down look of the customised Café Racer motorbikes popular in 1960s London and is specifically engineered to have the warm feel and look of well-used vintage equipment. The Revstar concept combines Yamaha’s 50-year legacy of guitar craftsmanship with Japan’s heritage of engineering excellence. Meticulous engineering makes the Revstar guitar models ideal instruments for musicians performing in a wide range of musical styles. YAMAHA RS320 REVSTAR SPECIFICATIONS:

Practice at home, Play on the stage! Playability and Feel from a Drum Company Yamaha has been making drums for over 45 years and they know that playability is important to all drummers. Using experience gained from developing the popular DTX-PAD Yamaha have redesigned the drum pads of the DTX400 series to provide a natural response, solid durability and excellent stick feel. The new pads use a rubber surface so your sticks will not slide around on the head, and you can practice single, double and triple stroke techniques for use on a set of acoustic drums. And as an entry-level kit, the dimensions of the DTX400K give you a nice, comfortable area in which to play so you can really rock out. The new KU100 Kick unit has superior silent characteristics without sacrificing playability. All of these features from a leading drum company are there to help you become a great drummer. 
From professional piano performance to simply discovering the joy of music for the first time, the CVP-709 is truly a family musical entertainment center. It’s the first CVP Clavinova featuring not one, but TWO world-class grand pianos (Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial) inside one digital piano. The Piano Room feature has been expanded to include more pianos and a new Session Mode with a built-in recording studio for capturing and sharing your music. 
In addition to the NWX (Natural Wood X) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops, the 88-key Linear Graded Hammer action dedicates a unique weight for each key over the entire keyboard. Each key also features carefully-adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo and better key return in rapid passages. The NWX keyboard also features an escapement mechanism that reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano as it goes through the let-off and drop of the hammer when a key is played very softly. Beyond the CVP-709’s piano performance is a wealth of interactive musical features capable of making music fun for anyone regardless of skill level or experience.
