The Yamaha Disklavier is the high-tech update to the old player piano – a real, concert-quality instrument that can also play itself using a sophisticated but easy-to-use system of onboard electronics. The magic of Smart PianoSoft disks is made possible by the PianoSmart technology built into each Mark III Disklavier; while the keys move up and down to create the piano part, other instruments and vocals from the standard CD are played through the piano's sound system, for a total entertainment experience.

A growing library of more than 150 individual titles makes the Disklavier and Smart PianoSoft a hit all year long, with selections ranging from classics like Miles Davis and the Beatles to current chart-toppers like Norah Jones and Andrea Bocelli.
