TransAcoustic Pianos - What Are They?
• Rimmers Music Blog
Acoustic Authenticity Whenever You Need It!
Yamaha TransAcoustic pianos offer a truly versatile, modern take on pianos. With all the allure of an acoustic piano in a form that you can play without worrying about the time of day or those around you.
TransAcoustic technology makes it possible to control volume without losing the rich sound only an acoustic piano can provide. You can enjoy authentic acoustic sound whenever you like by adjusting the sound volume. You can also immerse yourself in the natural sound of the piano with headphones - Yamaha CFX Binaural Sampling provides a clear natural sound that almost makes you forget you are wearing headphones.
The TransAcoustic allows you to choose from a variety of voices, including two world-renowned concert grand pianos - the CFX and the imperial. Only TransAcoustic pianos produce these voices throughout the instrument, creating an authentic ambience.
You may be wondering what TransAcoustic technology is, it does not rely on speaker units to produce sound; instead, transducers are used. Transducers convert audio source signals into vibrations and then relay them to the soundboard. The soundboard amplifies the vibrations, and the entire piano vibrates sympathetically.
Below are some of the fantastic Yamaha TransAcoustic that we have available here at Rimmers Music:
Yamaha GCT1A TransAcoustic Grand Piano
TransAcoustic is the name we have given to the technology that will power a new breed of piano. At its most basic level, it turns the soundboard into a loudspeaker. This means that any sound can be delivered through this naturally resonant piano component.
But there much more to TransAcoustic technology. Using a mechanism similar to that of the well-proven Silent Series, it is possible to prevent the hammers from striking the strings and, instead, to play back digital samples. Unlike the Silent instruments, however, there is no need for headphones or external amplification. The sound is played back through the soundboard. You can control the volume and select the sound - from a sampled CFX concert grand, or a choice of electric pianos to a marimba and harpsichord.
Yamaha YUS5TA Transacoustic Upright Piano
The Yamaha TransAcoustic YUS5TA Upright Hybrid Piano is a fully functional acoustic piano with a powerful high-quality digital sound engine, providing a vast range of sonic possibilities. The innovative tone generator transmits the digital sound directly to the piano's soundboard, turning the entire instrument into a loudspeaker for an incredibly natural-sounding tone. Thanks to the TransAcoustic's SILENT piano? SH technology, you have the choice of playing using only digital tones, purely acoustic sounds, or any combination of the two.
