Time and Again, Clavinova is 'Dealer's Choice'
BUENA PARK, Calif. — At Winter NAMM 2007, the Yamaha Clavinova was named "Home Digital Piano Line of the Year" in Musical Merchandise Review's "Dealer's Choice" Awards. The instrument has garnered more MMR awards than any other digital piano.
Over the last 13 years, the Clavinova has been the most successful digital piano line in America, earning MMR's "Dealer's Choice" Award a staggering 11 times. Since Yamaha introduced the very first digital piano in 1983, the Clavinova has repeatedly won honors and accolades from magazine editors, music dealers, consumers, performers and educators.
The MMR awards are based on votes from music product dealers throughout the country who cast their ballots for the most outstanding instruments, equipment and accessories at the end of each calendar year.
"We are grateful – though not surprised – at the enthusiastic reception the Clavinova has received from the music industry, performing artists and customers alike," says Jim Levesque, Clavinova marketing manager, Yamaha Piano Division. "This remarkable track record of acclaim is clear evidence that the Clavinova brand is synonymous with excellence."
The instrument's extraordinary succession of victories began in 1991, when it won Keyboard Magazine's Award for "Best Piano Sound" and "Best Bang for the Buck," honors which were repeated in 1993. It was then named "Keyboard of the Year" in 1993 by MMR magazine and "Keyboard Line of the Year" in 1995 and 1996. In 1997, the Clavinova won "Product of the Year" and in 1998 and 1999 "Digital Piano Line of the Year." In 2000, it was honored for a second time as "Product of the Year." In 2003, 2004, and 2005, the product was named "Home Digital Piano Line of the Year," "Pro Digital Piano Line of the Year" and "Digital Piano Line of the Year," respectively.
