"This instrument is aimed at buyers who want a Disklavier in a package that's a little more affordable, a little more compact," says Cameron Shearer, Disklavier marketing manager, Piano Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "It's an intersection of grand piano artistry, fine furniture design and Disklavier technology that will open up possibilities that budget-minded buyers didn't know they had."

The playback functions of the DGA1E offer a host of features designed to enhance enjoyment of any musical experience, whether used for at-home listening or playing pleasure. The DGA1E makes it easy to find and select music, control volume, adjust tempo, and change the key to play or sing along. With the DGA1E's remote control unit and timer, command of all functions is possible from virtually anywhere in a room.

For those who prefer to sit back and listen, hundreds of world-class performances may be selected from a critically-acclaimed library of Yamaha PianoSoft™ and PianoSoft™ Plus disks.

The DGA1E's cabinet is a classic polished ebony that will complement any room.

"This new Disklavier grand certainly possesses the best of both worlds," says Shearer. "It has all the sophistication of our renowned digital acoustic technology, with all the traditional artistry that has gone into a century of Yamaha grand pianos."
