High Style On The High Seas: Yamaha's AvantGrand Piano

BUENA PARK, Calif. — In the rarefied world of luxury yachts, owners continually seek out the ultimate in décor, technology and on-board features. Yamaha's remarkable new AvantGrand piano is an innovative new music product that offers yacht owners a no-compromise solution for enjoying the ultimate piano at a fraction of the typical cost.

State-of-the-art music technology enables the AvantGrand to provide the concert grand experience in an instrument that's 650 pounds lighter, five feet shorter and one-fifth the price of its 9-ft. counterpart, making it an ideal instrument when space is at a premium.

Offering superior craftsmanship, the AvantGrand recreates the same sound and feel of Yamaha's elegant CFIIIS grand piano. But since it has no strings, the instrument requires little maintenance and holds its own against adverse maritime conditions, such as salt air and humidity.
